In the note from the German gov- 8hould actually have lost their lives «this would naturally be contrary to our_intentions. The govern- ment would deeply regret the fact and begs to tender its sincerest aympathies to_the Ametican government.” Régrets and sympathies are about all that Germany has been wiling to its violation of the rights of this and every other neutral country has been manifested in repeated offenses where lives have been taken. ‘Whether this plan is looked upon as a desire to maintain rela- tions, or is interpreted as further evi- dence of delay and a desire to con- tinue the exchange of diplomatic notes, compliance therewith will only de in aceordance with the policy of this zov- ernment, It is determined that it must be in possession of the facts before action is taken and whatever I Germany is desirous of preventing a break in the friendly relations be- tween the nations, which it has always malptained -by its words but not by its acts, It must realize that its one and only chance lies in a radical re- form of its submarine policy. Let it |ment of the dificulties, Germany will find, lies in its own hands unless it ,walts toa long. HAYTI NEEDS OUR MELP.

Bryan, ‘fi_which he declares that Americans shoull be kept off of the allles’ ships because he does not be- lieve that a few reckless citizens should, drag this country ints war. That & few should not by their ac- tions be responsible for this country golng to war ‘{s not alone the senti- ment of Mr. Bryan. It 1s not believed that any such situation will prevail This country is not anxious enough for war to fly oft the handle without a thorough knowledge of what it is doing. It is not concelvable, however, that it is going to sacrifice its rights be- cause Germany may be determined to make it uncomfortable and danger- ous for subjects of mutral nhtions who under international law are prom- ised protection. It is the abandon- ment of privileges for the purpose of hitting at thelr enemy which Germany i8 trying to force upon neéutral sub- Jects and Mr. Bryan subscribes to that policy when he urges that Amer- icans keep off the ships of the allies. Should Americans take passage upon British warships, or_those engaged in the service of that government they must expect take the consequences, but they ha right to take passage upon the merchant ships of the aljies and under the agreement of Germany and other powers they have the right to expect jthat thelr lives will be safe- guarded. Mr. Bryan is no more anx- ious than a great many others that this country should not get into the war, but there is nothing creditable to a nation in having its rights used as a football.

This war theater, which lies across the path of any attempted advance upon Kief, forms the subject of a sketch issued today by the Ni tional Geographic Soclety. The war primer reads: “Interposed between the fat lands of the Little Russians, in the south, and the flourishing metropolis of Kief is a stretch of comparatively poor and undeveloped country included in_the Russian giveroment of Voihyaia. There is a poverty, a a iness to be found in this country, a lack of de- velopment ang of primitive organiza- tion. such as the traveler finds dupli- cated when off the beaten tracks in the Caucasus. There is thin eoll, .and swamp, and marsh, muddy lakes and forests everywhere. Especlally dif- ficult, from a military point of view, is the northern part of the government, where the water-soggy earth and tangled forests slope into the impas- sable sloughs of the Pripet swamps. Goth Germans and Russians may en- deavor to make the same use of this region that von Hindenburg made of the Masuren lakes. “Volhynia has 27,700 square miles Its northeastern part is in- in the region of esste, spongy land, floating lang and swamp. The southern division of the govern- ment, from the Galician borders west to Kief, is roughly hilly and cut by deep river valleys. A broad highland from the Carpathians stretches over this part of the province, to Kief and the Dnieper River. The highest points in this hill country reach a height of 1200 feet, while in the west, reaching almost to Kovel, ranges of hills are scattered, veaching heights between 700 and 900 feet. “The climate in the morth is un- healthtul, abounding in swamp fevers and mosquitoes. roughout all the northern parts there are no cities of gonsequence, no important foundations, and merely a primitive agriculture. The principal cities for the whole gov- ernment are Zhitomir, the _capital Lubno, Kovel, Viadimir Volynsk, Kremenets, Lutsk, Ostrog, Rovno, RS Ovros Tt fons ot overreaches the importance of a vil- lage. More than half the country of the north, just to the south and the east of Brest Litovisk, is a bewilder~ ing maze of dense forest growth, and much of the remaining area is fever been e 25 per cent. of the land of the south is under tillage. “In this backward, lean and ill- favored coumtry, manufacturing @ustries have hardly obtain foothold. manutactured & few factories for the output of ag- ricultural machinery, woolen textiles, glass and leather goods.
