(St. Louis Globe Democrat.) The Democrats are still busy trying to steal Lincoln. It has become a habit with them to try to appropriate every i tion and it is devoutly to be desired illustrious Republican, after he is! that they 'embrace the opportunity safely dead and can make no resist- Khat has come to them. No mexaber A careful, detailed and scrupulously impartial investigation by naval and military officers of the United States has conclusively established the fact that the Sussex was torpedoed without warning or' summons to surrender and that the torpedo by which she was struck was of German manufacture. On the contrary, the government of the United States ia forced by recent events to conclude that it is only one instance, even though one of the most exteme and jmost distressing instances of the deliberate method and spirit of indiscriminate destruction of merchant vessels of all sorts, nationalities and destinations which have become jmore and more unmistakable as the activity of German undersea vessels of war has in recent months been quickened and extended.

I Again and again the imperial government has given its solemn assurances to the government of the United States that at least passenger ships' would not be thus dealt with and yet it has repeatedly permitted its undersea commanders to disregard those assurances with entire impunity. HOW TO JUDGE PICTURES. Anent the coming art1 exhibit, to be held next week in the vocational build ing, it, might be interesting and profitable to recall some paragraphs from the book of Mr. John Cx Van Dyke, eminent author and art critic, on "How to Judge Pictures- Familiar Talks in thevGallery With Uncritical Lovers" of Aft" Concerning medium's, in chapter on "Oils, Water Colors, Pastels," Mr. Van Dyke says: .1 "Today the commonest and best.

medium in painting is that iof oil. All sorts of ideas, conceptions land fancies may find expression in it! and in Its nature it is well fitted to cpnvey them all, whether they be sober, bril-lianf or grand. Its durability beyond other mediums is not of sjo much importance in artists' eyes as its freshness, its brightness, its faqility for expressing by brush work shades of meaning, phases of character, types of individuality and its facility of retaining colors intact and without minglingj(except by reflejction with other ofors.) In literature, the gay, the clever the "brilliant are set forth in the light form of the lyric; thelquatrain or. perhaps, the novel: but) that- which Is, of a deep and serious natiire requires epic verse or the lore sober form of simple prose. Tne analogy holds true of painting.

The profound, the sub lime, the poetic require through the medium of oil. it in oil that we may painter's best efforts, translation Therefore, look for a his deepest thoughts, his most harmcjnious color, his strongest technique. This, however, is only a- general jmle, and is subject to some, exceptlonis. "There is no very good reason why water-color should not considered just as serious a medtuni as oil, except the fact that it' is npt generally so used. Every once in aj while some one comes out in printj to defend the power, durability, coljor and general excellence of watpr-color as compared with oil, and nbuch can be said in its favor.

Hut thb truth nev- ante, juui ii is a nine surp' isiur iui Attorney General Gregory should have chosen a Jefferson Day dinner for his larcenous operations. Mr. Gregory was the principal speaker for the New York Democrats on that occasion. He had been so busy deciding that it would be incompatible with the public interest to comply with a request cf Congress for information as to whether Standard Oil is again up to' its oid tricks, that he barely had time to catch his train. If he said, anything about the father of the wayward Democracy, the press dispatches ignored it.

His speech, according to them, abounded in attacks on Roosevelt and compliments of Wilson, actuated by venom and gratitude, respectively. "If Abraham Lincoln were living today," he declared, "he could no more vn mnrtPt mn Wp cede that the colonel is not too modest to defend, But Lincoln's lips are silent. Perhaps he even would not answer the aspersion, If alive, for 'he was a. patient man, even under attacks If it is still he purpdse of the Imperial government to prosecuta. relentless and indiscriminate warfare against veaseis of commerce by the use of submarines without regard to what the government of the-United States must consider the sacred and indisputable rules of International law and the universally recognized distates of humanity the government of the United States is at last forced to the conclusion' that there is but bne course.

It can pursue. Unless the imperial government should! now immediately declare and effect an abandonment of its present methods of submarine' warfare against passenger and freight carrying vessels, the government of the United States can have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations with the Germaa empire altogether, Thi action the government of the United' States contemplates; with the greatest reluctance, but feels constrained take in behalf of humanity and the rights of neutral nations. ertheless remains that people, espe- i-mii) amsis, uo not ining so ta popu lar belief is a hard thing to eradi cate) and so, with a -few exceptions, the water-colqr medium is used very much as th6 Jyric Is used In poetry. to express something light and sketchy. Whatever may be the merr its of the case, therefore, it Is hardly worth your time to look to water- color for anything of a deep or serious nature.

You would better seek that which you will oftenest find, namely, sltetchy pieces of A beauty, bright flashes! of; the imagination, Cleverness of handling, light, transparency of color, atmosphere, tone, cloud and water effects, but not as a general1 thing; for "qualities and textures. Thesel latter can perhaps be better 'expressed In oil. Moreover, in water colors detail is usually sacrificed to trutfc of mass, and you will not look for drawing except as subordinate to othe features. The medium is not well suited for. elaborated work though; this again has been made subject to some very brilliant exceptions." DEATH AVENUE' TO GO.

Ambushed by Mexicans While Passing Through Bachineva the Report Declares.

That American troops "weer ambushed by Mexicans while passing through Bachineva last week, was revealed today in a report from Gen. Pershing, to Maj. Gen. Funston. No mention was made by Funston of the consequences of the fight.

Funston refused to make the entire communication public. He said, however, that the detachment commanded by Major Howie was attacked by citizens, from the near -Bachineva. The troops had passed through the village, said Funston, when the attack began. Funston stated Howze was unable to punish the offenders, to the conditions governing the expedition's conduct. Pershing's report stated he had ample evidence against one Mexican.

RUSSIAN TROOPS GO TO AID FRENCHMEN Soldiers Picked for Bravery Are Landed at Marseilles to Join the Allies. (By United Press. Paris, April 2D.

I This sensational announcement" was; made simultaneous with the publica-i tion of an army order of the day, issued by Gen.

Joffre, sending best wishes to the first detachment of the sol diers of the Czar to fight on French' soil since the start of the- war.

All Differences in Cabinet Have Been Settled. (Ry Uhtted Phess.) London, April 20. The crisis in the? British cabinet has been averted and all differences settled, it was announce ed today. An official statement is being prepared, covering the agreement on conscription. tics pJmostas vituperative as Mr.

Greg-, h- poise, has become mentally un-ory's. In fact Mr. political balanced in a degree, because of her knocked from within and from without. It has been charged with not enough and with doing: too much. It has been cussed if it did and cussed if it didn't And all of this goes to show that it is a rather important organization or else it would not attract so much attention.

Our opinion is that the Chamber of Commerce is too valuable an organization to be allowed to die for lack an organization to be killed by the laying on of Yiolent hands. It is a body more essential to the commercial well being of the community than any other local organization of men. Much of the trouble and dissatisfaction of the past can be traced to indifference and lack of co-operation. Members refused to attend meetings and yet they found fault with what was done by those who did attend As Louis J. Scheldt remarked at a recent meeting, if the Chamber of Commerce fails it will be the fault of the members and not of the offl cials.

By the referendum now being tak en, the members have a chance to express their sentiments and it is to be hoped they, win express them. They have an opportunity now to become more intimately connected with the workings of the entire organ iza- has a right to continually find fault and at the same time refuse, to take part in the proceedings. If the Chamber of Commerce is wrong the members should right it. If it is right, then they should give it their earnest, continued and hearty co operation. THE SITUATION.

"Nows a. good time for' good Americans-to sit tight and, "keep their mouths shut, goesfor the high as well as the 5 low and the middle. It is a time when the nation faces grave dangers and it is not an occasion for those -in the public eye to give their, own personal opinions, merely to get something off their respective chests. Just how Germany will regard President. Wilson's note is not.knpwn but is safe to assume that the "com munication will be received with a considerable degree of scorn.

Germany ia at war and has been at. war for many Germany has lost abnormal condition uonsequenuy is not, to be expected that the American note will be received either coolly dispassionately. The Imperial German government doubtless feels that America is in league with the allies and that any nation finding fault with her of warfare is against her. The traditional friendship- existing" between 'this country and the Fatherland cannot loiig exist in a time like' this. The future will decide whether or not President.

Wilson is a wise statesman or school teacher out of place. The old doctrine of sparing the rod and spoiling the child might apply here. There is a feeling, expressed by many newspapers, to the effect menaepR this countrv from the south. Mexico, of is a carbon copy of a' Country, but the people down there can and will kill Plenty of American soldiers if the population decides to rise against the stars and stripes. Japan, although her statesmen pro- ess the strongest freindship for America, really constitutes a menace on the west.

Germany, now looms darkly on the east. America faces a graver crisis than she has faced at any time since the Maine was sunk. The war that followed then was a play war, as with modern slaughter. San Juan Hill, for all its blood and gore, was but a sham battle when consid ered with the Marne, Louvain, Przemysl or Verdun. America is not too proud to fight.

but neither is she seeking a conflict If the worst comes she will man such guns as she has, will march forth such trained troops as she can mus ter, will get up steam in such ships as are available, and then she will give the best account of herself, pos sible. In the meantime, you hear some fellow talking against preparedness, it will be permissible to sit on his head until he changes his views. i- Sale. Suitable for homes, wll located.

(Tir United Press.) Kansas Cfty, ApriJ Ten persons are reported dead and nearly 100 injured by tornadoes' which swept three distinct 'areas in' Kansas and Missouri last night. Property damage in southeastern Kansas, southwestern and central Missouri is said to be enormous. Wires are demoralized and details are meagre. -Six are reported killed in Stover, with the town laid in ruins by a tornado. A special train carried relief to the injured there.

Gregory himself would have been with them, if he had been born earlier. He was born in Mississippi eight months after Lincoln was inaugurated and has been 'a Mississippi and Texas Democrat ever since. It is a mystery he can worship Lincoln and the men who fought every step Lincoln took. Either they or Lincoln must have, been Lincoln was a consistent Whig until he became a Republican. He opposed the theories of Jefferson and Jackson.

He supported a protective tariff and other Republican principles. Nearly all the men now living who voted for Lincoln in are loyal Titihllcana. Thev helieve thev are walking in his steps.

COMMERCE. Last summer, when the work of re-j organizing the Chamber of Commerce; ana oi securing new memoerct was ac fever heat, this paper remarked editorially that the Chamber of Com- merce was the necluea around which the commercial activities of the city must center. It was admitted then that the organization neverr would be perfect hut at the same time it was insisted there should be a hub and this body might as well play that part. Now the Chamber of Commerce is in the limelight again. Members of the organization have been finding business was done secretly, that, they had no representation, that there too much expense, The legality of the 'election at which the present officers and direc- tors were chosen has been questioned.

Charles S. Barnaby and John Kraiise, two Df the directors, imme-' diately offered to resign and sought to put through a motion to have the entire boarH quit. Th directors have decided to put the question of their status before the entire membership and a referendum has been ordered. Every member now has a chance to voice his sentiments. This action on the part of the board is commendable because it.

shows' that no' official of the or- ganlzation desires tg retain office if -there is any question of the legality of his election. Every effort was made to conduct the recent election in a fair and impartial manner, it seems to us. An-j nouncemejitJ was made in all of the local newspapers that proxies would he. allowed and if thereof was tion to that form of voting the objection should have been made at 4the time. One member had just as much right to collect proxies as n-t other and "the time to do it was before the polls closed.
