ERMANY’S explicit assurance that her submarines in the) Mediterranean have orders “to conduct cruiser warfare against enemy mereliant vessels only in accordance with gen-| eral principles of international Jaw, excluding in particular measures of reprieal as applied in the war zone arouud the British Isles,” may be fairly regarded as the most satisfactory evidence yet noted of what this country has achieved by its determined efforts to force submarine Warfare above tho plane of massacre. Count von Bernstorff's statement not only promises that passen- ger and freight ehips in the Mediterranean shall not be destroyed until) ‘Doth passengers and crews “have been accorded safety,” but pledges the German Government to official investigation of all cases involving the destruction of merchant ships by German submarines, subject to} regular Prize Court proceedings, and with official reports to the! United States Government wherever American interests are concerned. If German submarine commanders disobey orders they will be pun CHILDREN AS CREDITORS. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. THIN a week District Attorney Swann has appointed @ Children’s Defender to serve in the Juvenile Court, And the National Desertion Bureau has published @ triennial report, showing that more than a thousand men who have deserted their children have been compelled to return to them or, at the least, to support them. Each of these happenings simply indicates the growth of the new sense of obligation toward children—the conviction that they are the creditors, not the debtors, of society and of their parents. Perhaps moro of us are more self-conscious than in other ages. Certainly we are coming to feel that the gift of life—mere life—is not a gift at all, but a burden. To patriarchal exgctions based on the premise, “because 1 put you upon earth you must be forever my grateful slave,” even childish intelligence now finds the inevitable answer: “I never asked you to bring me here, T never wanted to come.” Any human being who is responsible for the entrance of another into this world as we have made it owes that other a debt. The debt can be paid only in life's alleviations; in love, in beauty, in protection, in freedom for developnent. It is justice, not sentimentality, which is urging eocicty to give these things to all little children. We have come a long way from the Roman futher with his patria potestas, power over life and death. We still have with us the padrone who lives on his children’s earnings, the paternal incompetent who cannot guard and guide, the coward father who rans away. But we ished, and reparation is promised for damage caused by death or injury to American citizens. Neither Germany nor any other belligerent nation has hitherto offered a regulated plan of submarine warfare which accepts responsi- “pility for supervision, action, consequences and the obtaining of facts. Reports of submarine activity in the Mediterranean are puzzling and disquieting. The sooner the Berlin system is applied to subma ines of all nationalities the better. Meanwhilo this country can more than ever congratulate itself that its unrelenting insistence has swep{ aside all arguments for a mourderous mode of warfare and restored the aseendeney of interna- tional law. are ashamed of them, And that is something.
