The refusal of the government to dis
cuss the question of arbitration in con
necliun vv iib the Arabic sinking nee<
not be considered surprising in view o
I he fact that Preside^ Wilson has re
peatediy insisted that it is justice tha
is demanded first; not payment. Tin
question of remuneration has not en
tered in any degree into the variou:
communications addressed to the Ger
mans relative to their naval acts. Wha
America has demanded is that German)
concede the principle of the contentioi
that such acts as Germany has com
mitted in connection with her subma
rine warfare were not in keeping witl
justice, iiumane principles or the pre
cepts of international law granting tc
neutrals the right to travel the high
seas unmolested. That this demand h
founded upon justice and a proper re
gard for the rights of others cannot be
denied. The United States cannot con
cede the right of any nation to arbitrar
ily proceed in defiance of establishei
custom to tile detriment of others, re
gardless of any plea of necessity. T<
grant that Germany Is right in th<
present case means nothing less thar
that others may assume the same arbi
trary privlege whenever they desire. II
it is agreed that Germany may carr?
.lie zone of her naval operations where
ever she may feet Inclined, there is nc
reason for disputing the right of others
to do likewise. If that nation is per
mitted to tramp rough shod over wha
ever may stand in the way of her de
sires, others will assume to themselve
tlie same privilege whenever It maj
suit their inclination. The base of the
present international dispute rests pri
marily on the establishment of the war
zone around the British Isles.

567 MERCHANT SHfPS
LOST IN YEAR OF WAR
I Joyd's statistical summary of vessels
of 100 tons upward totally lo3t, con
demned or otherwise removed shows
that during 1014 the effective mercan
tile marine of the world was reduced
by 607 vessels, of 926,134 tons, of which
491 were steamships of 870,662 tons,‘and
275 sailing vessels, of 184,450 tons.
This Is an Increase over the figures
of 1913 of 338,000 tons, and is due al
most wholly to war operations.
The United Kingdom lost 401 ves
sels of 229,170 tons by warships or by
mines, while the figures for Germany
are 13 vessels of 67,641 tons. •
Apart from the war, the greatest
losses of the world’s shipping are un
der the heading of “wrecked,” 256 ves
sels, of 288,470 tons, or 40 to 45 per
cent of the total losses being thus clas
sified.
While I lie United Kingdom has lost
2.2 per cent of the tonnage and 2.43
I per cent of the vessels owned, the losses
of neutral, countries total 2.37 tier cent
'and 2.62 per cent, respectively.

Radium and Serum.
Dr. Quimby, after using radium foi
el. ven years in treating cancer, chang
ed to the new serum treatment about a
year and a half ago. Under the radium
treatment, the specialist reported suc
cessful results in 15 per cent of the
cases.
Under the new treatment, using Dr
Beebe’s serum alone, the percentage ol
success sprang to 40 per cent.
Dr. Qulmby explained that the caset
he treats, for the most part, are cases
which have been turned over to him
as a last resort.
“Not only ran the new serum be used
in cases of inoperable cancer,” said Dr
Quimby, “hut as an aid to the surgeon

"The ignorance of the public, result
ing in not attending to cancer until it
is practically hopeless, Is one of the
largest factors at present In cancer
mortality." ,
More than five hundred pationts are
now being treated under the supervis
ion of Dr. Bebe and his associates.
BRITISH IMPORTS NOT
HALTED BT SUBMARINE
The spectacular recent shipment of a
warship load of gold from London tc
New York makes new proof of tlu
transfer of financial primacy from the
old world to the new. In the same con
nection, certain trade developments
cited by the New York Time's are even
more significant.
“It now appears,” says the Times
“that England’s excess of imports for
thp seven months ended with July was
$1,525,000,000, against last year’s $675,
000,000, This year’s excess of importf
into England is to be interpreted dif
ferently from last year’s, when it sig
nified the collection of investments and
profits. This year the Increased excest
|of imports Is due to expenditures abroad
land to a deficiency of exports of good}
i to meet the hill." Our New Turk con
temporary continues:
This process is cumulative. Rritish
exports for July were under $60,000,000
not one-fourth last year’s. The de
crease of exports in July by $170,000,001
was accompanied by an Increase of im
ports of $30,000,000. An alteration o!
currents of trade by a quarter of a
billion dollars In a single month over
matches even our tremendous surges
between princedom and pauperdom. It
is notable that the decrease of Import}
to Great Britnln from the continent If
matched almost exactly by the Increasi
■ f imports from the ITnlted States. II
hardly becomes us to be making a
"poor mouth" over the war. and creat
ing a disturbance over the derange
ment of trade In this or that article
while, on the whole, we never were do
ing so well.
Thepe trade figures, the Times fur
Jher points out, “throw a strange light
upon the German blockade. During th<
irst year of war, England Imports wen
tually larger than the year before
nd progressively so. In August Iasi
ear British Imports were only $210,
000,000; last July they were $376,000,000
The increases were chiefly In food, thosi
rif meat having doubled, and all other}
hieing larger. Yet starvation of Englani
I was the aim of the war zone decree
j That is the test of whether the British
hr the German navy, Is fulfilling itf
; purpose better.
“The decrease of England’s export}
explains itself. The chief decline is li
'•oal, and the Welsh coal strike cost a
pillion tons. Altogether within flvf
months there have been 286 British
trikes, costing three-quarter of a mil
lion dnys’ xvork. Adding to this the ab
-senee from productive labor of Kitch
ener’s army, the wonder is that thr
1’nlted Kingdom Is able to export any
nods."—Boston Record.
