. e>.«a;u \\il>, n’s acceptance
, i the reply to the submarine
note imucates that the v.erman
government has acceded to the
letter, it not the spirit of the Am
encati demands It the surmise
s correct this means nothing less
than that vlermany lias practical
ly agreed to abandon the sub

This may be considered a
mighty diplomatic triumph in
\\ ashuigton but it is cannot be
consistently denied that it is do
ing tlermatiy a grave injustice
by practically compelling her
under a threat to forego one of
he: most effectiv e mean® of com
latmg her enemies, something
has a perfect right to do by
a!! the rules, international or
o: f - -'o that wer ever promul~
g.ned No one with a fair sense
> f ms: ce will deny that a vessel
that is armed is armed
for offense as well as
. . and vv.ll not hesitate
a moment to attack an enemy
submarine if one comes within
effective range of her guns As
vie: -tatty very ustlv contends,
an armed \ essel of almost any
character n its relation to a sub
a e. is to all intents and pur*
vse> a wa- vessel and leg.tr
ate ' sal ret to attack either
vth or w:t -out warning. Yet
' % ...
'..eh vesses! must be warned be
• tt be. g attaeked m the event
if,v-t they carry American jms
sengcrs.
^vs a submarine manifestly
daie not rise to the surface to
w ai n .111 .n mol slup, the demands
ol I’lesiuenl Wilson place Ger
main in a position where her
submarines cannot attack a ves
sel carrying passengers no mar
tfir-wh*t . may be tile nature of
lift?'Cargo, Whether arms, auniru
lutiou, vr otkti contraband, even
though she carry the effective
means of utterly destroying the
c.^.inati army, such vessel can
not be sunk unwarned
Ibis virtually means that she
will have to abandon all attacks
on passenger carrying ships be
cause of the inability of her sub
marine commanders to ascertain
the nationality ol their passen
gcis. It also means that the
presence of one American aboard
an armed, vessel will be an in
fallible guarantee of immunity
I rum attack if Germany adheres
to her compact. Her submarines
cannot rise to warn such vessels
toi fear of being sunk and dare
not attack them unwarned be
cause of the danger of inviting
irouble with the t lilted States
\11 the allies have to do to pro
tect their vessels is to carry a
few guns and a few Amer.cans
and Germany is helpless. I his
is all very nice for that class of
\mericans who will insist on
their right to do as they please
egardieps of how others may
be affected by such action but
no one in fairness of spirit can
deny that it is hardly fair to
Germany, It matters not how
much we may dislike Germany ,
she is entiled to jus
tice and a square deal. Regard
less of international laws, tier
many has a perfect right to at
tack any vessel sufficiently arm
ed to destroy her own vessels.
Such a vessel is to all intents
anl purposes a warship and no
amount of argument can change
its status.
\\ hat the president is striving
for is. of course, the freedom of
the seas Rack of the American
.presentations is the desire that
.peaceful -vessels of all nations
neutral and belligerent alike,
shall have the privilege of travel
iug the open highways of the
ocean without tear and without
molestation save under such eir~
cumstances as are universally
recognized and embraced in the
terms of international law. As
far as Germany is concemel that
object has been attained through
her acquiescence in the demands
o' the United States yet. it may
not be denied that the result has
been achieved through compell
ing the German nation to forego
a 'a ge share of its rights. Rv
forcing her to comply with our
’e-rands we have practically de~
sf over the usefulness of one of
her niost effective methods of
achiev :ng the primary object of
war—the destruction of the
strength and resources of the
e —and have place.! :t with
the power of her enemies to
ender themselves immune from
arine attack through the
- ‘"Ue proofs* of empk>\ :ng a
few Vmericans on such of their
vessel' as traffic in the danger

president has sacceded in iniur

it would have been eminent 1\
fairer to all concerned to have
warned Americans to retrain
