NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 27, 1915.
While the assurances of Ambassador i
von Ucrnstoift of Germany arc of a
nature to allay ttic fears that we are
facing an immediate open rupture with
that nation, it is diliicult to believe
that the Uerman government is about
to alter the conduct of tin submarine
warfare in favor of the United States
to tile extent indicated in the dis
patches of yesterday. Germany may
be really sincere in regard to the
Arabic affair as it is indicated that the
Berlin government feels, in a degree at
,least, that the sinking of that vessel
was rather overstepping the grounds
of good policy. Germany has not for
gooten flood of opprobrium which fol
lowed the sinking of the Lusitania and
which, in a great measure, resulted in
the undoing of all that site had accom
plished in setting herself at rights in
the view of humanity for the acts of
earlier periods of the war. It can he
believed that she has no desire to lay
herself liable to a second accusation of
like nature through duplicating, albeit
on .1 smaller si 'ale, the previous offense
and slu is doubtless willing to make all
possible amends in order to escape the
consequences. It will, therefore, pro
bably result, that if, on finding that the
circumstance;- surrounding the Arabic
sinking arc of a nature to warrant cen
sure, Germany will spare no effort to
placate the United States. Such ac
tion would have tin dual effect of not
only avoiding the immediate conse
quences of the act hut would also do
much to restore a better understanding
by relieving the strain of public feeling
in America. Germany, doubtless, has
but little fear of the United States as
an aggressive factor, but at the same
time it is certain that the moral effect
produced by an open rupture could not
but have a detrimental effect to the
German cause and is therefore to he
avoided, although the effort might re
quire the offering of material conces
sions. But that Germany intends to
limit the sphere of the submarines acti
vities to a degree that all ships carry
ing Americans will be immune from
unwarneu attack is probably an c.xag
geiatiun. 1 tie adoption or a policy ol

gerent woulu give SUCH vessel a certain
immunity ol wilicli tlie enemies ot
Germany woulu not be at ail slow in
availing themselves lor the purpose ol
lnaKing surreptitious shipments ol war
material. It may be possible that Ger
many intends to give warning wliere
ever It may be necessary , thus comply
ing with the spirit of the American de
mands, afterward sinking the vessel so
warned, it would seem, however, that
such proceedure would be not only a
risk that Germany could not afford to
run, owing to the possibility, of losing
many of her vessels by gun lire or
ramming, but it would ulso be no as
surance of the safety of the passen
gers, who would bv compelled to take
to the open sea in vessels of the frail
est character. How far the liability
would extend in this respect is a debat
able matter, but it would appear that
the liability of such action would not
erase until the passengers were ashore
or in some stale of comparative safety,
in any event it is difficult to conceive
;li.it Germany intends to go to lengths
which will manifestly he of no benefit
to himself, sove in the event that she is
extremely desirous of remaining on
friendly terms with the t’nited State*
This may be possible but there has
been but little display of such inclina
tion in the previous attitude of that
nation. The sudden change of attitude
may point to a radical change of
thought on the part of Germany and
also of a desire to place herself once
more In a proper light with the world
hut. in the face of all previous display
of tendencies, we may well refrain from
doubting the sincerity of her profes
sions until such time as conduct dis
. pin v s their verity.
INTERNATIONAL
ANARCHY
laist July there was a thing called In
ternational law. True, at many points
it was not exactly definable, but in
spite of vague and debatable bound
aries here and there, a very solid and
definite body remained which was pre
sumed to he idnding on all civilized
nations. And on that noncombatants
and neutrals were as much entitled to
rely ns a man walking down the street
of his home town is entitled to rely on
the rule that his property shall not
ho taken from him except by due pro
cess of law
To assume that any belligerent can
change the code of accepted interna
tional law to suit Its own exigencies
is simply to throw the whole code into
the waste basket and aeoept interna
tional anarchy. It is to put a neutral
in the unhappy position of a traveler
in Mexico, where ike first man he
j meets with a gun in ids hand can de
clare whatever law he pleases and ex
ecute it on the spot.
To say, for example, that Interna
tional law cannot apply to submarines
because they were developed, In their
| present efficiency, since the law was
framed, is ns cogent as to urge that a
belligerent would lie entitled to blow
up a neutral’s powder factory if it
could do so with the new agency of an 1
aeroplane. If a nation is absolved from
international law because it is "fighting
for its life,” then any attempt to set up
international law is only a silly futility;
for every nation that fights at all is !
always "fighting for its life.”
Neutral nations can no more afford •
to hand the world over to belligerents .
up whatever rules their \.
exigencies may dictate than peaceful '
members of a community can afford to .
give a free hand to the truculent ones.
Neutral nations are entitled to say to ’
belligerents: “Shoot one another, if you
insist upon it: but you must not shoot
away our guaranteed rights."—-Satur
day Evening Post.
