HERE is reason to believe that Dr. Gerhard, special agent des- ” patched by the German Ambassador to Berlin, is better R informed than some of his countrymen as to the actual state of mind of the American people. That ne has been a close friend and associate of Dernburg is no ‘Yecommendation. But it may at least have given him extra facilities “for observing why the Dernburg propaganda failed so utterly. a Woe are ready to grant that the German Ambassador’s means of communication with Berlin leave much to be desired. His reasons for sending an envoy may seem to him excellent. ‘@ But—the President’s note should reach Berlin some days ahead of Dr. Gerhard. Wo see no reason why Germany’s answer should be delayed until after his arrival. "To reply to a direct question involving only principles of human- : ity and international justice surely requires no labored demonstration a of our right to ask it. Neither our standing among nations nor our | gatlier relations with Germany have been such that our national good | faith need be scrutinized and re-scrutinized. af Evasion carried too far becomes indifference and temporization ’ ah insolt. + NO TIME TO JUMP RATES. | WW’ HOPE complaints from London of excessive passenger | rates charged by the American Steamship Line do not in-| dicate a plan on the part of the company to profit by the <a war and the fears of ocean travellers. ' N . Few persons are crossing the Atlantic this season. Even with} rom greatly reduced steamship facilities, demand. for berths and state-| ‘rooms cannot press heavily on supply. The American Line enjoys) just now a special privilege. It offers, with one or two other lines, the greatest degree of security that transatlantic passengers can find. It would ill become this line to take advantage of its position to de- mand exorbitant passage fees either from United States citizens’ or from citizens of other countries. A considerable part of the German press is only too anxious to persuade Germans that the one desire of Americans is to make money out of the war. “The North American wants to do business.” An American steamship line that deliberately advances its rate schedules because of present conditions lays itself open to the charge of capitalizing the flag. It exposes this country to undeserved criti- ¢iain abroad. + A FINE PROGRAMME. ‘ TATEN ISLAND has a large-sized grievance. When its taxes S were boosted $250,000 in 1911 to help pay for city subways * Richmond understood that if it didn’t get a subway it was to have a five-cont ferry transfer from St. George to almost any point in Manhattan. It never got the subway and now Dock Commissioner Smith wants the Board of Estimate to squirm out of the five-cent transfer _ agreement with the New York Railways Company. The city has : © lost $55,000 in the last cight months, he claims, by this transfer contract. , Also the Dock Commissioner thinks too many people use the Staten Island ferry boats merely to get fresh air.
