That it was not the fault of its policy as then oper- ated that it did not sink with a loss of life is perfectly apparent. Ger- many, however, acknowledges that it if it wanted to. Nothing is of course fact. was in error, declares that it was an futs tunfortunate mistake and promises to pay damages. That may or may not end - that incident, dbut the more important -as- Surances that it will not happen are “still lacking. Instead, Germany at- tempts to justify the act of the sub- “narine ‘commander by the assertion ‘that the vessel did not carry a flag, that it was in ‘Waters which might be expected to contain only enemy ves- Aels, that it' was impossible to see the name in the twilight and.that no ef- fort was made to make prominent the mationality of the ship. Under such tlaims the eommander progeeded to do his best to send the vessel to the bottom without even giving the crew #n_opportunity ta save themselves. "By its own acknowledgment the submarine was guided solely by in- derence, whereas had it taken the nec- essary precautions to determine that it was right before golng ahead it could not have committed the deed Fithout full knowledge of what it was olng. This is particularly true when is known that the name of the ship was painted in-letters six feet high on its, side. There 15 some satisfaction in the fact that Germany has expressed its re- grets. But in view of the fact that this is not the only. case where Amer- Jgan vessels have:been attacked by “mistake” it would-appeaf to be only right that it should give assillance that it will not happen again. The wnsatisfactory thing in congection with this and other notes is that it gives no evidence that it does not intéend to Jéntinue to hide behind unfortunate mistakes, THE THAW' CASE. | 5. Harry Thaw is again free under bail 'gfter spending part of nine years in a New York state institution for the deliberate killing of Stanford White. If this action is sustained by the high- er courts it will be an everlasting dis- credit to New York.state justice. From the -time the deed was committed a determined -effort has been made by the use of money to hold up New York ,state-law and justice to ridicule. For 4°time it was @nsuccessful, but in the Igst action, through persistent ham- thering,. it has apparently won. What /wWould have happened to Thaw had he ! bgen a peor man is well known. The \family wealth, however, succeeded in (proving the young. mdn &n insane {criminal with stich tendencles that he ‘would always b a menace to the pub- [ie.” This was for the purpose of sav- \ing his life and it succeeded.
