many of our wage-earners and those dependent upon
them for the necessaries and the luxures of life But
such deplorable conditions cannot continue indefinitely
With the lapse Of every minute, hour and day they will
be nearer end and peace and prosperity may come
much sooner than most persons expect
Meanwhile It is the manifest duty Of everyone to
make the best of what is concededly bad situation,
and to indulge without in the hope that 1915
will laden with many blessings chief Of which will
be peace and prosperity
That spirit of hope should animate all our readers
tomorrow in the celebration Of New Years Day, be-
cause hope IS one of the chief things upon which hu-
man happiness is founded
We wish to all readers the fullest measure OF
happiness that otbanabe from the natal day of the

The American Note on COniraband

jocting to items in a contraband list
made arbitrarily by a belligerent AS
a matter Of fact, the two countries
hold the same view in regard to many
questions of international law that
are still in controversy; and i'm more
than one case Great Britain has tacit-
ly accepted an American policy, for
instance. the doctrine of continuous
transport" as applied TO contraband
Therefore it ought not to be difficult
for the United States and Great
Britain 10 come 10 a satisfactory ufi-
derstanding.
The United States, to illustrate,
does not object to the seizure Of any
article or product reasonably on the
contraband list ii there is sufficient
proof of its destination to the enemy,
though the transporting ship delivers
it at a neutral port; but what the
United States does object to is an
assumption that the article or pro-
duct is seizable on the suspicion that
il will be carried overland into the
enemys territory for military uses.
All that the United States Govern
ment asks of Great Britain is ra-
tional attitude, sanctioned by inter
national law. toward neutral goods
in neutral ships and the exercise of
a sane discretion in seizing and con-
demning such goods. That is TO say,
the United States wants and will
have square deal for her exporters

milton of her rights as neutral

The memorandum of the United

prevent unwelcome controversy peri
lous to the friendly relations Of the
two countries. II is to the execution
of that policy moro than TO the OK

objects But Great Britain is in
cllned to extend unreasOnably the
contraband list It has been well
said and the statement applies 10
both absolute and conditional con-
trahand. that "the test to be applied
is whether, under the special cir
cumstances Of a particular war. the
article concerned is by its character

purposes"

ships. But the United States. both
as neutral nation and as q trading
nation. cannot permit Great Britain
and her ally France to play fast and
loose with the question of what is
contraband and to detain American
ships on the mere suspicion that their
cargoes include conditional contra
band intended for the enemy. Great

that piano practice be restricted by
the issue of a state license to reduce

BOTH ACCIDENTAL.

Fom the New York Evening Post
Sufficient information has now
come to hand about the naval battle
off the Falkland Islands to make II
clear that il was as accidental as was
the action off Coronel. On the lat
ter occasion the two fleets knew that
they were in the same waters, hut
were not aware how close to one
another. for the British admiral hal
not waited for his one battleship TO
join him. Moreover. they met only
an hour before sunset Had either
fleet been slightly delayed the battle
would not have occurred of the
FallSlands. Admiral Won Spec appar-
emily had no idea that the British re-
inforcements had arrived. He was
looking for the Canopus, the one
British battleship he knew to be
about. and when his scouts reported
her and some cruisers. he went after
her. only to find himself in a hornets
nest. Then he boldly decided to save
his light cruisers for further raiding
by sacrificing his own ship, the
ScharnhOrst, and his other armored
cruiser. the Gneisenau. In this he
was only partially successful, the
Dresden alone escaping. Thus there
is no tactical or strategical lesson
to be drawn from either battle. Won
Spec is still entitled to the highest
praise for getting his ships together
by wireless. and for his skilful hand
ling of them when they met the
British cruisers. II is presumed that
he was heading for the South Allan
tic. which would seem to have been
quite the proper course, when he fell
into the British trap. dash for
the English coast. destroying mer-
chantmen as he went, and an effort
to reach home waters by way of the
north Of England would seem to have
been as useful plan as any he
could have adopted.
