UBMARINE attacks on seven Dutch steamers off Falmouth— sinking three and badly damaging four—were due, according to a statement issued by the German Legation at The Hague, “to an extremely regrettable coincidence of circumstances which is unfor-| tunate but beyond our control.” The Dutch ship owners, it appears, dared “to send out their vessels on Feb. 22 on the promise of relative security, instead of waiting until March 17, when absolute security| was promised.” Americans may be reminded by this occurrence of the permission} graciously accorded them by the Imperial German Government to| send one passenger steamer a week to Falmouth provided they painted it like a merry-andrew. They did not avail themselves of the permission. But have they) done anything to show that they regard themselves as possessed of rights which transcend it? | They have not. Unlike Dutch ehip owners, tho ship owners of| the United States, with one or two exceptions, have dared nothing. Nor has the Government of the United States so far come to their support with aid or protection of any sort. American ships are held in Amorican harbors because of a Ger- man blockade which the United States Government flatly refused to recognize! Astounding as it is, that is the situation. The Imperial German Government declared it would sink without warning Amer can merchant ships as well as any other merchant ships in the pro-| hibited zone. The United States Government denied the right of the) German Government to do anything of the kind. And now the United States maintains its position by carefully keeping its ships at home lest the German Government should carry out its threat! Even the Republican minority in the Senate is reatlessly conscious! that the situation is impossible and ought not to be prolonged ono| unnecessary day. Tho President should delay no longer, but ask | Congress for power to arm or otherwise adequately protect American} merchant vessels. If American rights aro worth asserting they are| worth exercising. ! Holland protested against Germany’a submarine blockade and secured concessions which some of her skippers seem to have had! too much spirit to bother about. Must wo be less daring than the} Dutch? —_—-+-—_____— | Germany made a highway out of Belgium. Is she going | to claim presently she has to make a pantry out of Holland? THAT WHICH IS NOT EXAGGERATED. T IS quite evident that food rioters are providing fine field work| for Anarchist orators, I, W. W. agitators, birth control advocates! and other persons professionally interested in stimulating) demonstrations. | An I. W. W. speaker at the Madison Square food rally Saturday} afternoon exhorted his hearers to “strike, strike all the time, even if! they bankrupted the corporations.” What this had to do with cheap-| ening food was not apparent. It is easy to believe that propaganda) specialists from al] over the country are arriving in New York as fast aa trains can bring them. Unemployment or high food—what matter| which to those for whom fomenting unrest is a trade? It is also doubtless true, as Gov, Whitman says, that stories of| actual starvation in ‘the city are exaggerated. The immediate causes of most riots are exaggerations, But what does it prove that agitators are busy or that 90 per cent. of the food rioters still find meals? Is it any the less true that! food prices generally have risen to prohibitive levels and that Ameri-| cans living in a land of peace and productive abundance are forced to| limit their diet and empty their pocketbooks as if their country were suffering from war or famine? The rioters and the agitators are a small part of##. Millions and| millions of wage earners and peoplo with modest salaries are strug-| gling painfully cach month with the problem how to make their in-| comes cover the cost of food that never even halts now in its steady | climb. | These millions are not rioting or demonstrating.
