STAR—SATURDAY, SEPT. 11, 1915. Member of the Sortppe Northwest League of Newspapers Published Dafly by The Star Publishing Oo. Thome Mam 0400 DON’T CROWD WILSON! HE Washington government has won a great victory in its negotiations with Germany with reference to the submarine warfare. Foreign papers admit it. All Americans sh@uld be thank- tul for it. Several serts of Americans now ought to feel ashamed of thentSelves. , The newspapers which threw up their hands and fearfully begged us to let Germany have her own way ought to be ashamed. ; The newspapers, printed in a foreign language, which shrieked that the United States was wrong and Germany right; who called President Wilson an Anglo-maniac; who charged Americcan news- papers with being in British pay—they should be ashamed of themselves now that Chancellor of the Empire Bethmann-Hollweg, and even the kaiser himself, Say that the United States and President Wilson are right and Germany wrong. The German-American fire eaters who said German-Americans would not fight for their adopt- ed country in this “unjust cause” should be ashamed of themsélves now that Germany fully and freely admits that the AMERICAN CAUSE WAS JUST. Those who kept crying out upon the Ameri- cans who traveled on merchant ships on a per- fectly legitimate avenue of transportation now find which they preferred to give their sympathy and aid rather than to their own. « Without any desire to rub it in on these mis- guided peopley OR ON THOSE WHO HAVE HOWLED FOR “ACTION” ON THE PART OF THE PRESIDENT WHILE HE WAS CARRY- ING ON THESE SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIA- TIONS, we suggest that it is just as well not to crowd the president. Wilson knows what he is doing! THEY’VE TREED TEDDY HEY’RE roasting Col. Roosevelt, from soup to grape juice, because he declared that Uncle Sam ought to have pitched into Germany when Belgium's neutrality was violated, and they seem to have him treed because he can’t produce any treaty or international agreement to warrant such action. The thing that comes nearest to such warrant is The Hague declaration of 1907 to this effect: “The territory of a neutral power is inviolable. Belligerents are forbidden to move troops, supplies, etc., across the territory of a neutral power.” This would be sufficient to justify the whole world in going after Germany, were The Hague declarations any better than mere expression of views. Expressions of views are proper and wise, but when you go to forbidding things, you ought PAGE 4. to have gunpowder backing, or else keep quiet when parties refuse to live up to your views. GETTING UNDER COVER ah APAN seems to be at last awakening to the re- alization that she has already gone so far in support of the allies that it is essential that she go farther. Besides supplying hundreds of thousands of rifles to the forces in Gallipoli and providing Russia with field artillery, even to the extent of dis- mantling some of her own fortresses to obtain it, she now announces her entire readiness to send an army to Russia’s aid whenever called upon to do so. ” Without any prejudice whatever, but merely from the standpoint of an observer, one cannot see . why the Balkan states can fail to do likewise. Cer- tainly, those countries which have aided the allies, either actively or passively, must be prepared to pay for their acts, if Germany is victorious. «It would seem, from their standpoint, better to go in whole heartedly and help to bring the war to a speedy termination than to have the sword of Damocles suspended above them indefinitely. IF HENRY WATTERSON doesn’t begin writing his new line of editorials on asbestos paper he’s liable to have his fire insurance cancelled. EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE SEATTLE STAR A WOMAN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD ¥ ue candidacy of Dr. Lillian C. Irwin for election ® to the school board has been announced, If elected, she will be the first woman to fil] 7 this important position. There should most certainly be a woman on the board. The teaching force of the city schools is composed largely of women. ‘The schools and women are closely related. Woman's place is in the home, we're told, She brings up the children, and sends them out to the schools, where their characters are moulded, She should have one of her sex controlling the destinies of the school system. The Star hopes for the election of a woman on the board. LOOKS LIKE BIG MONEY NGLISH pound sterling 32 cents below nor. mal and American banks choked with gold! Somebody is going to make some big money, provided Americans selling munitions to the Brit ish don’t play the hog and drive the British pur. chaser to some other market, and provided that the Turks continue to hold the Dardanelles.
