War has it's blessings as we'll as Its
Ills, and we have already experienced
one Of the greatest Of these in the re-
vival Of patriotism throughout the
whole country. Everywhere "old glo-
ry" waves and patriotic emblems are
in evidence. Everywhere the people
are heaping honors and godspeeds up
on the boys in blue as they send them
forth to do battle for their country.
The whole national heart is throbbing
with patriotism as never before since

and lasting impression upon the ma

Eighteen Spaniards. including a lieuten-
ant. were captured by the American ma
fines In their sortie the other day at
Guantanamo. This achievement may DOS
sIbiy hasten the release of Hobson and his
companions who are now waiting to be
exchanged. The preliminaries of this
operation are progressing with painful
slowness. The Madrid authorities have
not yet given permission to accept Spanish
prisoners in our hands in exchange for the
heroes of the Merrinac. But il is not to be
anticipated that this customary military
courtesy will be withheld entirely. With
the Spanish soldiers taken at Guantanamo
so near tn. scene of the exchange it may
be possible to hasten the transaction some
what. Until now the purpose has been to
offer in exchange soma of the Spaniards
confined at Fort Mcpherson. which would
involve a considerable delay. Hobson and
his men deserve speedy deliverance from
their restraint.

years ago an effort was made by the United

lily DISCRIMINATING the herds in the Alaskan
Islands. In pursuance OF this policy the
revenue cutters on patrol i'm those waters
seized several vessels engaged in the traffic
and they were condemned. Their owners
set up claims for damages on the ground
that the seizures had been effected beyond
the marine boundaries of the territory of
the United States, namely three miles
from the land. The United States resisted
the claims on the ground that Boring sea
was. in international language. a CLOSED
sea- in other words, that it was exclu-
sively within the Jurisdiction OF the United
States and that the three-mile limit pro-
vision of international law and the treaties
did not affect the case. After much nego-
tiation the dispute was referred to arbI-
traitors. who met in Paris and after a pro-
louged session decided, among other things,
that the Boring sea was not a closed sea-
that the American Jurisdiction extended
only to the three-mile limit and that there
