In the last issue of La Follette’s Weekly, Robert Dollar's sudden love for the American flag on his ship is aptly shown in the following paragraph: “Robert Dollar, president of the Robert Dollar Steamship company, who recently announced that he would place his vessels under some foreign flag, had all except two of them under the British “flag prior to the beginning of the war in Europe. He took advantage of the new bili to put them under the American flag for protection, stating, however, that soon as the war was over he would go back under foreign flag again. But there Is no flag he can go under now exempt from the operation of the Seamen's Act if the ve & come to American ports.” ‘ a 2 Again there was considerable noise stirred up by the subsidized press over the fact that the Pa- cific Mail Steamship Co. was going out of business, It was charged the La Follette seamen’s bill was to hn EA Se EE STAR—SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1915. every resource known to unscrupulous business to discredit the Seamen's Law T commercialized elty dalli news agencies and other instrumentalities willingness to serve special interest at the e of the public Interest, the ship owners of the United States and those of other countries are nforcement of this great humane act p “This great with the willing ald of gr artiing hould not be permitted, even apers, to deceive the Ameri ean public concerning thi ure of emancipation—emancipa tion from legalized slavery for the seamen and emancipaion from dangers at sea for the traveling public.” FINE FUTURE READING USTRIA has added to the collection a great big Red Book, describing “barbarous treatment” of Austrians and wholesale violations of interna- tional law. When Turkey contributes her Yellow Book, the proof of general devilment will be complete. Study of present day governmental howls against outrage will be mighty interesting, a hundred years from now.

Oh, very well! WHAT WE want to know is whether the note Lar sing wrote to William Hohenzollern was in the English PAGE 4,, AN HONORABLE PEACE cre prospect of this country going to war seems unreal. Doubtless it seemed unreal to some of the nations of Europe just a little over a year ago, : It is apparent, however, that the only method of settlement of the difficulties between the United States and Germany lies in compromise. It is also apparent that an absolute insistence that Germany shall comply with conditions that mean abandonment of her submarine warfare will be rejected. If the United States bases its claims entirely upon the principles of international law, our quarrel lies with Great Britain as well as Germany. A compromise has been found which prevents trouble with Great Britain. We have recognized that new factors have entered into control of the sea. Should we deal with Germany in the same spirit, despite the fact that Germany’s of- fense cost American lives? Should an agreement be reached with Germany which gives Amcricans safe conduct while crossing the sea, without compelling us to recognize the principle of German subma- blame. Again La Follette shows up the utter false- or German language hood in this claim. The Pacific Mail is owned by the Southern Pacific Railway Co. To do business thru the Panama canal, it must divorce itself from rine warfare? Should these things be done or should the United States insist upon a strict accept- ance by Germany of the conditions already MAYBE THE whole trouble has been that the kaiser can't read English : the railway, according to law.

It would be cowardly to escape the dangers of the present by making war certain for the fue ture, but thus far nothing has arisen that cannot be ettled by a fair agreement. No president has had the support of the people SaSce> le? in any crisis as strongly as President Wilson has or had in this, and if his final decision is that no com. promise can be effected, the nation will not hesj- tate to follow his guidance. But the sentiment of the vast majority of the people is not.for war and their -hope is that he will be able to preserve an honorable peace. Cool, deliberate judgment after the first ex. citement has disappeared, determines that the situ. ation does not offer sufficient grounds for plunging our country into a bloody war. ISN’T UNCLE THE EASY MARK? S ECRETARY DANIELS postpones until Septem. \) ber 29th the opening of bids on our 16 new submarines because two of the big private ship building concerns are loaded up with foreign con- tracts for submarines. Some day Uncle Sam will starve to death thru being at the mercy of private bakers. Just think of a great nation like ours being unable to go ahead with preparations for self-de- fense because private concerns are too busy work- ing for foreigners against whom we may have to defend ourselves!
