War is still going on and the dawn of peace has not yet appeared over the horizon. The-country is still impatient.

As the days go by and there seems no hope for cessation of hostilities abroad, it becomes apparent .the United States -must have'a merchant. marine of its ‘own. This question looms larger all the while. We are helpless in the matter. Our oversea commerce is blocked at every turn. It is at the mercy of foreign carriers. The country is growing impatient and Aemands action of some kind. ISenator Cummins and Senator Overman have both been quoted as expecting an extra sessioh of Congress for the purpose of providing ships for the safe conveyance to KEurope of American passengers and American goods. In the face of present day developments auch action would seem necessary. American llves and com- merce are equally jeopardized on the high seas. - : Senator Cummins is a tépublicnn,—. Senator Overman a democrat. 'In the United States Senate both these men are counted among the leaders. At voted against the ship purchase bill on the final sfoll call. Overman on the same roll call voted .for the bill. When the ship purchase bill was introduced in Congress it was labeled an emergency measufe. The war, at that time in its infancy, had brought out the fact that we were utterly Lelpless on the high seas and our commerce stood a chance of never had no freight ships of our own, we were in-the hands of foreign ship | masters who had other business to ‘occupy theirs craft. A state of col- lapse for our oversea commerce was predicted by those who studied' the situation, try .were complaining. particularly Middle West, und the cotton shippers of. the South.

(Norwich Bulletin), Chairman Walsh of the federal in- dustrial relations commission is still speaking and in: his’latest address to' a St. Louis audience admits that he: is personally responsible for all crit- Jcism that has been directed against the commission. Such. will be agreed | to by all who have followed the work of the commission and the ' course pursued by the chairrhan. In an attempt to justify his action Mr. Walsh. declares that ‘‘my duty was to investigate the: truth, not smother it, and. I did my duty.”. That | the duty of the commission of which he was chairman was to investizate the truth cannot be questioned. It was named to find out the true con- | ditions which: exist relative to indus- trial relations throughout the country and report thereon but the’ trouble with the chairman was that he over- stepped and disregarded his duty. Mr. Walsh has“been po&sessed with the idea that a part of his work was to put forth the results of the inves- tigation in public addresses before the work of the report were completed and in the hands of the body which created the commission. Not only did | he deal with these matters on the | public platform while the hearings were still gding on but his statements Were so. distorted-and his conduct of the hearings such that they . called forth ' justified protests from . wit- nesses who had been misquoted and by the members of the. comission who were incensed at his methods Mr. Walsh's duty was to make as possible ‘but nothing has contribyted 8o much towards making it a fizzle as the acts of the chaiman. —_— Being Gay.

To the American mind it seems equally "a matter of false pretense that Gegmany militarism is only the ‘nation n arms for its own de- fense.” Nobody was attacking or pre- paring to attack it. No . other na- tion exeept Austria-Hungary, which furnished the pretext, desired the war or was prepared for it. Not only was there no menace of war against her made every effort to avert. it. That is history plainly written in this last vear and it cannot be obli- terated. 'For the fact that Germany had been preparing for the war which she now calls one of self-defense for | at least a quarter of & century therc | is overwhelming evidence, mostly de- rived from her own rulers and writers. - The preparation was avow- edly for the purpose of extending | the power and the possessions of the Empire, and could be defensive ony as the defense of a deliberat pol- iey .which was sure to encounter re- vistance and to be carried to success only by war for which full ‘prepara- tion had been made.

Though the absolute damage done to the allied shipping by German sub- marines has beén considerable, and.a natural cause for moral shock in the world, the relative hurt to British comiherce has been small. Of 20,000 sailinig in and out of Liverpool since the Submarine war began, only two voyages in a thousand have met tor- pedole disaster. What is true of Liverpool is true, commensurably, of other British ports. . Germany has thus far failed in establishing the léast semblance of a blockade on British shipping. All Germany has been able to do is to make a beginning. This, to be sure, is’ sqmevv_hat for- midable. Of late, especially, subma- rines of larger type have succeeded in running down some pretty big. ships, and is doing it pretty often. If the war would last long enough, Germany might have a fleet sufficient to really stop British commerce. But such a fleet would also be able to wipe out the British surface warships, or drive them into uselessness. It strikes us that the submarine is at present much miore horridly spec- tacular than effective as.g*naval arm for Germany; that the inhumanities of its present use are inexcusable, con- stituting useless cruelty, and that Ger- many would be sensible to give up the game weighing the friendship of the United States as more worth while than any advantage she may reason- ably hope to win by continuing the. murderous recourse of something that at the best is very like piracy, and very little like manly fight. Let Becker Die‘/ (New Haven Register). ‘With Charles Becker, former New York police lieutenant, in the shadow of the chair for the murder of Her- man Rosenthal, there arises the usual corps of maudlin sentimentalists ° to criticise Governor Whitman's refusal of executive clemency, but aside from these inconsequential few approval of the governor's attitude is general It is nothing new that this noisy group of individuals try ta make themselves heard at this time. 'Twas ever thus. To say the least, their readiness to forget the heinousness of the offense and show a sentimental sympathy for the offender does more credit to their heart than to their head. Having pursued the bloodthirsty and murderous gang of gunmen, the tools of Becker, with every weapon the law provides, until they were made to pay thé jist penalfy for their mis- deeds; it Would be”the “height of in- consistency for” Governor Whitman to interpose his pardoning power in or- der to save the most reprehensible and most culpable criminal of the group, whose responsibility for the death of Rosenthal has been clearly estab- lished. To the high erime of murder Becker added the crime of treason to the de- partment of which -he was a high and well ‘pald official.. Unlike the miser- able gunmen Becker was a sworn of- ficer of the law. It would bé difficult to conceive of a crime and a criminal less deserving of judicial or executive compassion. - The world will be well rid of such a man as Becker, whose only service to humanity may be ren- dered in supplying a forcetul {llustra- tion of the*fate which awaits any of his former associates in<the New York police department who may be weak enough or case-hardened enough to be tempted to follow his evil prac- tices. Fish and Submarines. (Waterbury Republican.) Among the evils accomplished by the German submarines is the sus- pension of a considerable portion of the fishing industries of ‘European countries, including neutral as well as belligerent nations and aready there is considerabe evidence abroad of widespread results in the appear- ance of a steady advance in the price of fish and suggestions of a famine in some markets. which are ordinar- ily, in peace times, glutted. From Christiania comes the.news that the demand for Norwegian fish continues to be so firm in' the belli- gerent countries, especially Germany. that the' fishermen’' are now getting seventy-five to eighty per cent. above normal, Split cod, for instance,: is selling at a price higher than firs: class fish ever brought before. Ger- man buyers have been busy all along the = coast cornering all they could in the salt and fresh fish line so that the Norwegian people and the can- ning factorles have been in danger of not getting any fish at all. “The situation -is so serious that' the pro- hibition of export.of some varieties of fish has been suggested. It is -possible that this. situation has had more or less to do with the modification of the submarine war- fare in the past.few months. - Gar- many, blockaded herself, has created a blockade by her submarines which affects not only France and England, but also. neutral nations largely de- pendent for their prosperity on plen- tiful catches of fish.

Lake Ships to Go to Sea, (South Norwalk Sentinel) A new type of merchantman is 00n to carry the American flag in the Atlantic trade. It is the Great Lakes freighter, long and narrow. with engines placed so far astern that when the vessel is sailing light the bow is sticking up high in the air. The interior of these craft is wholly given up to freight space ow- ing to the fact that they were built chiefly to carry iron ore and coal. 8o long, low and clear is the stzetch of desk space that in rough weather it is impossible to pass forward or aft. These freak ships will doubtless attract much interest abroad. Though intended only for the lakes, they are said to be adapted equally well to ocean traffic. The Atlantic _is seldom rougher than the Great Lakes are at times. Storms, too, are not so sudden and freakish at sea, and when there is a hurricane the ship can’ run from it as it cannot do in the confined Lake region. This re-inforcement of our foreign and coastwise fleet is ‘due to the.de- cision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, to the effect that it is illegal for the rairoads to ' operate freight lines on the lakes. Sixty- three of the largest steamers, many of them capable of carrying 12,000 ton cargoes must be got rid of. A dozen or more have already been sold to Atlantic transportation- com- panies. They will be cut in two, to enable them to pass through the locks of the Welland canal on their journey to the Atantic’'via the St’' Lawrence river. The result is not lower freight rates on the Great Lakes by increased competition. Tt may even bring higher rates, enabl- ing the indopendent boat owners to make a better living than ‘they have for some .vears. The supply of boals has exceeded the demand, and the rates established by railroads that didn’t have to show a profit took tho profit away. from their competitors. The traffic affected is tremendous— one fourth of the tonnage of our en- tire merchant marine, and nearly one-third as much ton-mileage as iz carried by the railroads of the United States. expected to A Pocket Revolution, (Paterson Press).
