BU, 109 WHY EXPECT THE WORST? Germany can have no doubt as to what would happen. Nor at best is it soothing to American feelings to read of women for safety upon vessels summoned by wirciess. ticed upon merchant and passenger vessels will always be a method of warfare abhorrent to American ideas. plished by excited talk that treats the perilous slip Germany may make as if she had already made it? we oureelves have chosen to uphold, we have nothing to do but keep cool and await developments. So far the German submarine com- manders seem to have been rigorously correct in every move, “The country may rest assured,” declared the Pr:sident, “that the German Government will be held to the complete ful- filment of ite promises to the Government of the United States.” The country need ask no more. Nor do we believe its nerves will long be kept on edge by submarine attacks in neurby waters. Germany needed a showy exploit to cheer Berlin and maybe cover the loss of the Bremen. What more inspiring than « big raid on NQUESTIONABLY there are dangerous possibilities in sub- marine warfare close to our shures, in the yreat lanes of Atlantic travel.

HE resignation of Thomas Mott Osborne as Warden of Sing Bing Prison is to be regretted. Mr. Osborne's enthusiasm and energy have contributed largely toward muking Sing Sing @ place unlike the hell it used to be. At the same time it must be remembered that Sing Sing is the Btate’s institution and not Mr. Osborne’s. Valuuble ae he has proved himself, if it comes to @ point where he canuot run the prison under any rules save those he makes himself, it is certuinly uot for the State te baud him over the keys and bid him call the place his own. | Resentment at @ recent order of the State Superintendent of Prisons directing wardens to keep “lifers” and long term prisoners at all times within the prison is understood to have led to Mr. Osborne's resignution. Mr. Osborne’s theories about letting convicts out of jail and rejoicing avdr them when loyalty brings them back have become familiar. Unfortunately, increasingly frequent walkouts and vecapes from Sing Sing have not strengthened the theory in public esteem. On the contrary the results of the Osborne sysiem in this direction have closely approached a scandal, Public sympathy has been with Mr. Osborne whenever persecu- fon or political eniity interfered with him in his work. But this time he has chosen » bad isene.
