The strange feature of the case now comes to light through the claim that there has been no note sent to Ber- lin ‘and therefore it is impossible to give out the terms thereof. Whether this is an effort to cover up the com- munication until the matter has been completely thrashed out, or whether it means that Spain has backed down in its insistence upon respect for its rights, remains to be seen. That country has lost over 3¢ ves- sels as the resuit of the submarine and other activittes of the Germans. It has over 80 German ships in its ports and if it does not now take al- vantage of the chance to take these over it simply means a knuckling to the German policy of terrorization.

Only a few days ago the report was cireulated to the effect that Spatn had forwarded a protest to German; agminst the sinking:of its vessels an pointing out the fact that in view of the help which Spain had been givin to that metion it showed pretty pwi which the kaiser has shown for the trestment. It-was also-stated that the imciuded -what!was “interpreted ‘be.an;ultimztom to' theseffect that if the attacks,upon its vessels: were -not stopped : that Spain:would proceed tc Jakesover the interned- German vessels |same time indicating that he saw the that idea of letting up in his pressure along the western ny offensive there may g on in the past d gemerals have t an | disregarding the requirements of in- re is howing a disposition good reason two U-boats have been destroved off the Atlantic coast. e effect upon a sudden de- ions there will the mer- in one he end of the underwater boat shell fire and in the other by ramming the sea wasp, aters for a sight is at ‘he bottom because the precaution was iaken to arm the.vessel, and the great. #r the number so equipped the hotter will be the reception given the sly ment to deepen the channel of the Cape Cod canal in order that vessels of greater draft can be accomodated and be permitted to take advantage of the inside and shorter route. At the present time it is possible for ves- cels drawing 17 feet of water to go through the camal. There are points which make it inadvisable for those drawing more to attempt to use it and it is at these points that dredging op- ations are now underway and It is undoubtedly the plan of the govern- ment, now that the waterway is under government control, to ideepen the canal at these points so that vessels which require 23 feet of water can make the passage at all times without danger of grounding. While certain vessels are using the canal now there are many otjiers which are zoing around the cape, sub- ject to the dangers of the narrow chan_ sel, the shoals and the submarines, and at the same time requiring much more time in reaching their destina- tion. The safety of the vessels and the reduction in the distance between points, especially for the coal carry- ing vessels, are of the utmost im- portance. There is no reason why much of the traffic which now goes around the cape where additional de- lays are caused by fog and tad weath- er cannot be diverted to the canal War requirements demand that it should and with the deepening of the canal one important result of the ing over of the waterway by the| _ |rovernment promises to be realized.

A HUN CHARACTERISTIC. -| 1t is always interesting to note how t| prompt Germany is to put forth a pro- 0| test whenever it thinks it has discover- instance where the allies are ternational law. The latest claim is that its enemy is equipping the men with shotguns which is against the provisions of the Geneva treaty. It sounds funny to hear Germany | quote any treaty provisions. It was | not supposed that it realized that there was any such thing, and if the r - | feeling of the imperial German gov- | ernment was expressed there is every ason to belleve that it would insist hat the treaty terms apply solely to the nations which are fighting the cen- tral powers and not to Germany. Ger- many has presistently disregarded al treaties by which it has been bound and there is no evidence that it does not intend to maintain that'same at- Y1 titude. o It is not to be forgotten that Ger- S| many scrapped the Belgium treaty b D | which it was solemnly hound to main- tain the neutrality of that nation, and r e liquid fire and engaged in many other < | violations of treaty provisions And in spite of all this disregard for the rules of warfare it now has the bold- ness to insist that the allies are not d | observing the rules. That, however, is only what can be expected from the Huns. EDITORIAL NOTES. No complaint will be made about the delightful weather which has been provided during the past few days. If Lenine has fled to Kronstadt he is making sure of a clear avenue of escape to Germany at the right time.
