This is information which was given out by Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg following the plea of Germany for chance to be heard regarding the Ara- :ne. but it has been a long time com- ng. Had that followed the sinking of the Lusitania, Instead of decorating the commander of that submarine with the lron cross, it would have been known about what to expect in the way of instructions to German sub marine commanders by this time. It may be found that instrmotions Were exceeded and there may follow & dlsavowal of the act and an agree- ment to pay indemaity, but this coun= try cannot allow the matter to be ads Justed in that wanner, been & fallure to observe instract in one Instance It can be axpeotea in others, The fact la that there la Mttle reason to belleve from the atti- tude which Germany has taken that ita instructions have been intended to Protect American ltvea, There have Deen 100 many acta to the contrary 4nd the alnking of the Arvablo appears 10 be Only tn aceordance with the same instructions which sent the Lusitania 19 the battem. With i disavpwal, 12 1t makes It, must come some satia- factory Qeclaration from Germany of Jta future submarine tactios relative to obedience of international law and re. #pect for the rights of Americans and humanity, That 12 what, had it been Jpreviously given, would have permits tod this country to know, even now, \:{mhn matructions had been exceeds P T — ANOTHER REASON FOR REPEAL. The La Follette seamen's act has been a thorn th the aide of the ad- ministration ever aince it was pros pomed. It ia werving to do just what iz detrimental to the interests and de- eires of the country relative to a largor merchant marine and this, in comparizon Wwith the benefits which will be derived therefrom, ls 2o costly that there has long been a strong op= bosition to the obnoxious features, In addition theretd the ruling of the attorney general, which has just been made public, as to the application of the law to foreign shipe reveals the undesirable character of the legisla~ tion when he finde that it applies chiefly to American shipe and that the vessels of other countries escape the effects. In his obinion no foreign ehips which do not carry passengers will be affected by the conditions im- posed by the law, and that no ships of any nation whose regulations for safety at sca approximate those of the United States will be obliged to comply with the La Follette law condi. tions, Thus the provisions of the law must be lived up to only by American ship- ping. In recognition of the harmful effects of such a measure steps have been taken by steamiship lines in this country to abandon the business which Is done in competition with foreign lines. That means a smaller mer- chant marine Instead of a larger one and it means that the La Follette con- ditions will not be carried out. Even though the father of the bill stead- y malntained before its passage that would not affect adversely American ships, that in reality is just what it loes do and foreign ships escape it. The latest” ruling offers further rea- son for its repeal AS' STUBBORN AS EVER. Nothing in the way of encourage- ment is being received in the replies from the leaders in' Mexico which would indicate that the suggestion of the representatives of seven countries m the three Americas, that there be L peace conference for the adjust- cality which would prove of more value in giving support to the forti- fications at that end of Long Island sound than the “navy yard” in the 3 That Secretary Daniels should reach this conclusion is not surprising. It is a fact which must be apparent to anyone who considers the conditions and situation that that property, given to the Zovernment for its use as lopg as it occuples it, is worth all that it costs to maintain it That some use is to be made of it different from that which prevails at the present time is gratifying, but it is impossible to Jose sight of the efforts which have been made in the past for its preservation in realization of the advantages it possesses for some such service as it is now about to be put to by the navy department. RAILROAD .CROSSINGS. ‘When it comes to contributing to greater safety on highways it is a commendable effort which has for its object the elimination of railroad cross- ings. They are the scenes every year of many deaths and while the rail- roads cannot be held respomsible for all the fatalities, it is important that such danger points should be elimin- ated, whenever and wherever 1t is possible for the protection which is bound to result, ‘Thus there is sound reasoning in the action which has been taken by the governor of Pennsylvania when he urges that as a beginning the 3¢ rail- road crossings in that state which are a menace to the Lincoln Memorial highway be' removed. Even though the users of a highway, wherever it way be, dlsplay a high degree of recklessness and In many instances show little regard for their own life, and fail to use the care which would assure them adequate protection, it is ‘When the raliread orossings are placed elther above or below the grade of the highway and such a ohange means & permanent protection, It ia a cost 1y operation, but it serves for all time. It ia not an expense which is required each year to overcome the same death trap although it might require a term !'!zfs I i i that locality. Polish q“tl;: — hv.lnvin; l.h“? data of changes, . their largely from the writings of R. Dmow- ski, for many years the Warsaw mem- ber of the Russian Duma and the epokesman there for the Polish ele- ment. While a member of the Duma, AMr. Dmowski has been a severe critic of the Russian regime, so that his view of conditions has the apparent merit of being independent while at ihe same time it comes from one in- timately familiar with the country Wwhich the Germans have now overrun. Some of the more striking changes re- sulting from the German occupation are these: The three branches of Poland now united under German authority— German Poland, Austrian Poland and Russian Poland—have a population that gives Poland sixth place. in polat Of rank, among the powers of Europe.
