NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 9, 1917.
The Germans hijve sunk 62 ships
bound to uua from allied ports since
February 1. Neither the iiruish nor
the German admiralty has yet made
known how many submarines have
bt en sunk in thut time but there sure
ly lias been a large number—and
there were d j survivors.
From a mere layman's point of view
Secretary Daniels would seem to be
quite right—the torpedo manufactur
ing plant at Newport ought to double
Its output. There would seem to be
no use in equipping ships with tor
pedo tubes if we have nothing but
flu- crackers to shoot out of them .
Sometimes we are impatient wi<n
the partially told tales that come '
o\ er the wire. For in3Ucnce whm ’
was there about the siory Mrs. Vis
conti was to unfold before the leak
investigators that made it difficult foi
her to tell it in public. It is to be
hoped that it was not salacious, or If
it was mildly so, perhaps it will come
to our ears to cheer us on our way.
Up to ye3terday afternoon American
Ambassador Gerard was still in Ger
many because he had not received
his passport without which he could
nu< leave. Bernstorff was likewise in
the United States though he has been
gl\en his passport and everybody
wishes he would go. There is quite a
cmtrast In the way the two coun
tries are acting. The United States
gt.ve Bernstorff his passport freely,
and has since been to considerable
trouble to help him reach his own
country. Germany, however, seems
to be suspicious of America and all
the world. Germany without any ap
parent reason withheld the custom
aiy courtesy of a passport to a diplo
mat who huB been recalled. Not only
s'*, but that country In a somewhat
bintul way proposes, as It now seems,
to hold Gerard as a hostage to In
sure the safety of Bernstorff. Ger
ms ny In this la overbearing, and
either lacks clearness of perception
or Is wilfully pervcr3e. Bernstorff la
In no danger from America or Amer
icans. In fact in spite of certain as
pc Fiona such as should have been ex
pected from one of his trulnlng and
affiliations he is rather well liked in
this country. That he cannot return
to Germany i3 no fault of ours. A
coldly logical attitude would seem to
be that now he has been removed
ficm his official position at Washing

too It Is no concern of anybody’s In
America where he goes. Whether he
ever gets buck to Germany or ends
Ills days in Cuba would nut seem to
mailer. He 13 no lunger German am
bi bsudor to the United Stales but no
one in America attends to burm him
or even wisnes him harm. On the
other hand there is Germany—surly,
lacking In courtesy, and bruaUly say
ing to the Unitsu States Unit Gerard,
his stair and some other Americans
will be held to guarantee the sate
return ot Bcrnstortf. in whut way
uic we responsible tor him alter he
leaves our snore? Germany intimates
that we will be held responsible if a
British ship 3hould sink the vessel
bearing Berustoiu unu drown him. By
what law ot nations or ot reason will
we be held responsible? Apparently
lie nee Meiely because- Germany
lakes a whim to make such un un
reasonable demand. The facts are
net all available yet. Keuiiy so re.v
uic known to us thut Judgment should
1 e deferred until more is Known. But
i> the facts are as stated it would
appear that our government is tuking
• weak, almost timid, course in i tie
lui-l.cr. n Germany unreasonably
holds Gerard and others as hostages,
one method of reply would be to at
■uce prevent Bernstorff leaving and
to imprison him if necessary. Then an
u tui-turn should be sent to Germany
that for every American restrained
trim liberty by Germany a hundred
tie, in. ns would be sunilurly restrain
ed i'i this reuntry and for every \m
crie-in who is maltreated or killed in
Germany a hundred Germans will be
similarly n . .’ueated or kuleu in Am
eiiua. There are time3 when an en
raged bru.e cannot be managed by
court! sy and consideration. He must
Dc dealt withh by torce and force only.
And <1 Peimnay is so drunken in the
01 gy of blood and terror she has
brought tibuut that she is lluu'ing
America by holding Gerard as an
hi stage after the manner of the bar
brrians of old it is high time the fact
should be made known. If the facts
ore os understood and stated here the
administration should force the Hun's
hand by refusing to assist Bernstorff
heme and by demanding the Instant
release of Girard and the other Am
ericans with some such penalties as
atove mentioned for failure to do so.
On tne assumption, however, *hat
we do not interpret the situation
r’ghtly and that we are under obligt
tiot. to see Bernstorff safely home it
<s interesting to consider the dilemma
the English government puts Bern
Btcrff in. The English say very frank
ly, ‘‘certainly, at the request of the
United States, we will grant Bern
itorff safe conduct across the ocean.
Mene of the allied warships shall
larm the v»>3sel bearing him. Let him
ome right to London. We will guar
inuc him self conduct so far as the
I
allies are concerned but he must take
. is chances so far as German sub
m. rines go. W'e have not been able
lo clear the seas of these destroyers
as yet and the vessel bearoing him is as
hkly to go down as any other. He is
stt*e from us. his enemies, but In dan
gri from hi3 own countrymen.”

Further, it would be very Interest.
