The mouth of the Thames is said to
have been mined at the beginning of
the war and the channels left were
said to be known only to the ad
miralty
A submarine would have found it
necessary to travel only 400 miles
from her base at Heligoland or Cux-
haven to have reached the mouth of
the Thames. Some of them have
been found in the English Channel
which is farther off. Then the sink
ing Of the Audacious at the north Of

from their base. The Germans have

London. the proof that a German
submarine sank the Bulwark will
prove a great shock to the people Of
England
The admiralty insisted that the ex-
plosion was in the magazine of the
ship, but the public suspect that a
German submarine had reached ac-
ross from CuXhaven or Heligoland
and sent a torpedo into the vessel in
the British harbor
The Bulwark was ono OF the Older
battleships of the navy but was
powerful enough to have met any
vessel of the German fleet had she
been given a chance.

The only question involved in the consideration
Of eioture rule is its necessity Would the Senate
gain or lose by its adoptioni
There is no doubt thai many people honestly be-
eve that coture rule is not only wise but neces-
sary. The fact Is. however. that no measure which
had behind it determined and solid majority in the
Senate ever failed of eventual enactment. The so-
called force bill was not defeated through the lack
Of eloture but because as was shown By the vote on
the Wocott reapportonment bill, which displaced it
as the regular business before the Senate majority
did not favor it The Sherman silver law repeal
bill was contested for three months, but was finally
passed. Once IN while as when the late Senator
Carter talked river and harbor bill to DEATH In the
closing hours of session. it is possible for one
man to defeat measure, but even these cases have
some good mixed with evil The fact is,- that when
a measure comes out of committee with unanimous
report it goes through the Senate like streak of
lightning. If there opposing views it right
and proper that the arguments on both sides should
be heard The result is better legislation For proof
of this it is not necessary to quote ancient history
In the present session the tariff b the Panama tolls
repeal BILL and the currency BILL passed by the House
under party whip and spur, vastly improved by
the and deberation given to their phraseology
in the Senate.
hno To-Day, wnen mere IS some criticisin OF SLOW
ness in the Senate in connection with the trade
commission and antitrust bills the fact remains that
the majority OF the Senate is by no means of one
mind as to what should be enacted. There are a
good many wrinkles to be ironed out, and this will
take time In great measures which have far-reach
ing and vital effect upon business interests It is well
to make haste slowly. George Washington never
said wiser thing than when he remarked that the
Senate was the saucer in which the hot tea of the
House was to be poured in order to COOL Under
present circumstances results may be reached slowly
but they will be wiser. Under cloture the Senate
would degenerate from deliberative into political
body ruled by King Caucus, and enaeting partisan
legislation With its members elected by popular vote
the Senate will soon enough be radical. II will
promptly respond public sentiment in all matters
which affect the national welfare II will do busi-
ness but STILL let hope, in dignifed and deliberate
fashion, undisturbed by the unthinkng clsmor which
demands haste at the expense of wisdom. 1t is to
be hoped that the day of the coture rule will never
come. Its absence in time of great political ex-
element is the surest safeguard which the country
now possesses against radical and dangerous legis-
ation which temporarily triumphant majority might

France Gives Us a Hint.

The French courts have just rendered an in
teresting decision directing firm of American bank
ers in Paris to send of France the books and
papers demanded by the United States customs au-
thorities in connection with the case of Miss Mary
A. D6lan, dressmaker, of Brookline, Mass whose
imported dresses alleged to have been under
valued The court affirmed that banks must maintain
absolute secrecy concerning the affairs of their
toners.
The judgment adds:
THE court cannot be used to facilitate foreign
fiscal administration when such an investigation may
have its aim obvious opposition to the private or
general interests of Frenchmen, and is of nature
hostile to the national commerce. and will add to the
insecurtes and dangers which surround transactions
with foreigners"
While the court can hardly be said to lend judicial
aid and encouragement to smugglers there is mis-
taking the advice to this government to look for
smuggling at its own ports instead of maintaining
spy system in European cities Incidentally II shows
that in France the rights of individuals to privacy
in their business and accounts is recognized by the
courts.
