THE LAWS OF NEUTRALITY.

(From the New York sum.
To the Editor Of The Sun-Sir:
Several bills have been introduced.
both in the Senate. and in The House.
which if enacted into law would ma
terially change the law Of neutrality
as it existed in this country from the
beginning until now. inasmuch as
these bills forbid the export TO any
Of the belligerents OF ammunition and
other things that can be used, or
are required for military purposes.
II is we'll settled principle Of
international law that during the
course of a war neutrals should not
change their laws to the detriment
Of either Of the belligerents, and to
do it is regarded by the aggrieved
nation as an unfriendly act.
All OF these bills are apparently
introduced either by pro-Germans or
by peace advocates. In so far as
they arc supported by the pro-Ger-
man sentiment they should not be
considered, as this country should
only act for its own interest and in
neutral manner, and such attitude
Of the pro-Germans is unneutral. I'm
so far as the measures are supported
by the peace idealists they merit
friendly examination. However, IL
is obvious that from that point OF
view these bills would be harmful for
the very purpose sought by their
promoters; in the first place. as Civ
ing a just cause of complaint by the
Allies against the United States and
causing much friction and i'll feeling,
and in the second place from the
fact that they would only tend to
prolong the war.
I write lis letter without being
interested IN the manufacture or sale
of any of the articles which are like
ly to be affected by these measures,
but purely from patriotic motives in
not wishing to see this country make
4 mistake and do something that
would be severely criticised. and in
my humble opinion justly so. as it
would be depriying the Allies OF the
benefits which they are entitled 10
( derive from the command of the sea.

The page is closed No more across

No longer shall her restless, pulsing
screw furrow the sea lanes meath

No longer shall her smoke cloud

Melting mysterious from dawn to

last hot race is run.
Her race is run. No more her three
stacks rise in distant menace
from the lone sea rim.
The haunting terror of the open sea,
an Ocean Ishmael, watchful
swift and grim.
No more with reckless daring will
she steam beneath the battery
guns to seek her foe;
No mere the night shall hide her or
the dawn reveal her clear against
the sunrise glow.
Her Hght IS done. She faced o'er-
whelming odds-four thousands
tons and and four-inch guns
alone,
Pitted against the warships of four
powers-hor speed the only
friend to call her own.
She fought the losing fight and fought
It well; by all the rules of war
she played the game.
No stain nor blot nor coward action
clings TO dim the clean-cut re-
cord of her name.
Her record ends. Upon the lonely
isle. where gloom the palms
against the setting sun
Upon the Keeling Cocos, gaunt she
lies; her guns are still; her long
lone fight is done
The sea birds wheel and skirl above

Her buckled decks are scorched and
SCARED by fire; the shell holes

A Blow at American Industry.
from the washington Posi-

The proposed legislation prohibit
ing the export OF American-made
goods to the countries now at war
Is contrary to sound public policy
and injurious to the people of this
country There should be 10 such
legislation.
If the refusal of the United States
to furnish materials useful to the
fighting armies would put a stop 20
the war. there might he some justi-
iication for imposing such a stagger-
ing burden upon our people as is sug-
gested.
But the stoppage Of American ex-
ports would not put an end to the
war. Other countries would furnish
what the United States had refused
to furnish. The only effect would be
a setback to the people Of this coun-
try.
The sale of supplies in this country
to belligerents-arm ammunition,
food, or any kind of war gears
sanctioned by over a century of us

ARE YOU A BUSINESS
FARMER?

Farming is business. and the
successful farmer must first Of
all be a business man. He fol-
lows his vocation primarily for
the money he can make and, like
other business men, should aim
to get the greatest possible re-
turns for the money and labor
involved. 1t is not enough to
simply grow crops, but they
must be so produced as to yield
a profit on the capital invested.
To succeed he must be thorough
ly acquainted with every detail
of occupation and must strive to
stop all leaks and prevent need
less waste. At the same time
he must bear in mind that it is a
good business principle to spend
a dollar whenever he can see
that it will come back to him
with interest.
