AN ARBITRARY CLAIM.
< hire again that irrepressible con
traband question arises like Ranquo’s
ghost to disturb our peaceful contem
plation of an early settlement of the
Frye case and this time it is seemingly
taking a turn which still further com
plicates the already vexing question.
The contention of Germany that she
is acting within lief rights as a belli
gerent in sinking all vessels caught
carrying contraband to the enemy pro
vided that she pays an adequate im
demnity for so doing, were all very
well if it were not for the fact that she
has frequently asserted, in order ts
shield herself from the charge ot
wanton destruction of neutrals, that
it was impossible for her submarines
to exert the right of search in an ef
fort to discover whether a suspected
vessel was carrying contraband or not
before sending it to the bottom. Al
though Germany thus admits that it is
impossible to determine with accuracy
the character of the cargo carried by
a neutral, she nevertheless insists that
it is within her right to destroy any
vessel carrying contraband, which, be
ing admittedly impossible to deter
mine, means that vessels suspected of
contraband commerce will be des
troyed. All of which should be ron
jdoned, Germany avers, because she
promises to pay for the damage done.
In effect, this means nothing less than
that she insists on the right to shoot
first and investigate afterward, if she
so desires. It is also certain that in the
event of a suspected vessel being
destroyed without examination the
German offer to grant indemnity will
more or less hingie on the question of
whether or not the vessel was actually
guilty of the charge of carrying con
traband at the time of attack, and the
matter of proving the nature of the
cargo carried will probably become the
burden of the owner. While it is gen
erally conceded by the terms of inter
national law that the belligerent must
be given freedom to prevent anything
from reaching the enemy which will
tend to increase or aid his military or
naval strength, on the other hand a
neutral is also allowed the broadest
rights in trafflcing With a belligerent in
noncontraband articles and it is this
latter rigid that the German conten
tion tends to render negative. The
main idea from the standpoint of a
neutral is that Germany, in insisting
that she be allowed to sink vessels,
which cannot be examined according
to her own contention, is making it
possible for herself to completely de
-— T i
Istroy the commerce of a neutral na
|tion both hy the direct action of sink
ing its vessels within the waters of thr
war zone if bound to, or seemingly to
the ports of the enemy, and by means
of the coercive effect of the implied
threat that their ships may be destroy
ed on the unverified suspicion of be
ing engaged in carrying contraband
with no prospect of redress unless it
is conclusively demonstrated that the
cargo carried Is of noncontraband de
scription, which is by no means easy
to do, at times. It Is apparent that if
tills arbitrary right is conceded by the
neutrals, they must either cense all
traffic through the waters of the war
zone or else view with equinamity the
destruction of such of their ships as
may seem suspicious to the Germans,
regardless of the Innocent nature of
the cargo or of whether they carry any
cargo at all. The fact that Germany
agrees to pay when she Is proven
wrong does not affect the principle In
the least, hence It is believed that the
German claim in this respect will be
met with a most decided negative by
the United States and all other
neutrals.
MAKING THE BEST OF THE
WORST.
Because I am horn Into a world of
many imperfections and dally tempta
tions; because I have many faults al
le.'O.v and am liable to acquire others.
1 tesolve that I will make my faults
my virtues.
I will be proud—too proud—to think
a foul thought; too proud to do a vile
deed,
1 will hate a lie; 1 will despise a
deception; I will scorn a mean action.
I will fear temptations, and avoid
them If I can. but 1 will tight them if
I can, but I will tight them if I must,
and will fight them to the death, show
ing no quarter.
I will slay my enemies hy making
them my friends, which Is far better
than making them my brothers. For
brothers are not always friends, but
true friends are always better than
brothers.
I will be cruel to my faults, no mat
ter how pleasant they may seem to he
to me I will "pluck out my right eve,”
if it sees falsely and crookedly for me;
I will "cut off my right hand” should
it deal theaeherously with me. Com
panionships that lead me Into evil
ways I will renounce if I cannot trans
form them into righteousness.
I will fear to do wrong because of
the misery I might cause myself and
bring upon others; I will fear to go
wrong, ever so little a way, lest 1 might
lose myself and those who trust me
as a guide.
So I will make my pride, my hates,
my fears, my cruelties, my tempta
tions—all my faults and evil propen
sities, “captives of my bow and spear,”
captured in fair, honorable, openly de
clared war and straightforward bat
tle And I will compel them to how
down to me and to serve me. even as
conquerors in all ages have made life
slaves of their eaptiVes. Thus will I
strive to make it come true in my life
that “best men are molded out of
faults.”—Robert .1. Rurdette in Nation
al Magazine.
