What's going 10 happen. CONNER
cially, 10 the United States Of America
after the war? Republican organs
predict disaster With the present
tariff, they say. Europe will again
hood our markets with the products
OF cheap labor. while a depleted pur-
chasing power will force her to aban-
don our manufacture products TO a
large extent. Which. upon the face Of
IL. is a fa.lacious argument. IL only
for the reason that what cheap labor
Is left in Europe after the war exacts
it's toll. will be kept very busy recon
structing Europe
On the other hand. the democratic
press claims that by admitting Euro
pean products on "a low tariff. our own
manufactures Will be stimulated to
greater volume and higher srade Of
products etc. etc.

The main thing for the United

IMPORTING SAND.

We are now importing sand from
Ireland. 1t is being used mostly in
New York city. Not that the Irish sand
is any better for mixing mortar than
American sand. The stuff Is brought
as ballast, and having arrived at port
is sold for a trifle or given away. be-
cause there's a law against dumping
sand in the bay.
Luckily for ship owners, there is no
tariff on sand; otherwise they'd have
TO pay money to get rid Of 1t. after
burning a lot OF coal in bringing 1t
over. The owners of domestic sand
banks have made no demand for tariff
protection. either, and it isn't likely
they will, since nature has made sand
SO plentiful around New York that
dredging il out of the harbOr is one Of
the city's leading industries.
The importation Of sand is a strik-
ing index TO the status Of the foreign
trade. Vessels bound for Europe are
loaded TO the matches. and on the re-
turn voyage are seldom able TO get
enough cargo 10 serve as mere ballast.
1t is a reminder of the similar situa-
ton 200 years ago. when the lack Of
American bound cargoes impelled yes
selmen to ballast their ships with
Dutch brick on the westward trip.
They had TO sell it very cheaply. for
the colonies in those days made excel
lent brick. That accounts for the many
houses around New YORK built of
Dutch brick at that time.

REPRISAIS.

The north blockaded and tried to
starve out the south, in our Civil war,
and the south invented and used sub
mersible boats in self-defense. But
those submarines were used only
against the blockading warships; they
never attacked passenger ships or de-
stroyed the lives of noncombatants.
And the way in which the blockad-
ed south waged war on land is indi-
Gated in the order issued to his army
by Gen. Robert +. Lee:
40 greater disgrace can befall
the army, and through IL our
whole people. than the perpetra-
ton of barbarous outrages upon
the innocent and defenseless. II
must be remembered that we
make war only upon armed men.
And now, when we ask the Euro
pean belligerents 10 fight like gentle
men. they answer that war is hell
hre"-and proceed 10 make it so.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Both
Italy and Austria are asking the
United States 10 represent their dip
lomatic and consular interests at
Rome and Vienna.
If the favor should be granted, as
Of course it will, it will indeed bring
the United States pretty near 10 being
the diplomatic clearing house of the
whole world"
If the United States should engage
in war with Germany. or any other
nation, then the last great neutral of
the world would be disqualified and
international diplomacy would be in
chaos.
Italy. the las great neutral save
America, is now in furious war and
barred from the friendly service.
And at the present moment the
diplomats of the United States are the
custodians Of the interests of nearly
all of the greater nations of the world
in the greater number Of the embat-
tied capitals of the world.
1t is a wonderful situation, and lays
an enormous burden of responsibility
upon the time and judgment and dis
erection not only Of our ambassadors
and ministers abroad. but equally so
upon the heavy laden American de-
partment of state.
Already American ministers and
agents in these great Kingdoms are
overworked in handling the affairs of
the warning powers all around the
world.
Adding TO these the complicated
concerns of Italy and Austria will in
evitably necessitate special provision
by congress for an enlarged person
mel and further drafts upon this peo-
pies resources OF men and money.
Italy under ordinary circumstances
would have shared with the United
States the duty of playing first friend
10 the warning nations But Italy did
not, because in the beginning Italy
was the nominal ally Of Austria and
Germany, and after she made clear
her refusal to go with the triple al
lance into war she was so constantly
besought by both the allies and the
Teutons that it was not deemed dis
Greet 10 intrust diplomatic concerns
TO her until her position was decided.
And so from the beginning the
United States has been the central
Office OF international diplomacy.
It would be well nigh impossible to
catalOg the duties that fall TO the dip
lomatic agents of this friendly gov
eminent that takes over the affairs OF
warning nations. In England. for in
stance. there was a large population
of Germans and Austrians. Some were

politics should be subordinated. for
the time being, TO concerted effort by
all parties 10 guide the ship Of state
through the troubled waters which
surround 1t. It's folly 70 hunt more
trouble when there's plenty on hand.
It's perfectly safe surmise to say
that the American public would be
glad TO eschew politics altogether for
some time, II it could, and devote its
time TO garnering some of the re-
turning prosperity which is crowding
democratic administration and the
present tariff.

There doesn't seem 20 be much re-
Spouse in this country to the efforts OF
the volunteer Dutch peacemaker. Van
Ghell Geldmeester. Il seems that he
really represents. in an unofficial way,
the sentiment OF Berlin. and that
Germany is willing 70 talk peace il
the matter can be arranged without
making her appear eager about it,
But the knowledge that the allies are
set infeMbly on the prosecution OF the
war has kept our government and pub
lie from taking Mr.. Geldmeester's pro-
possls very seriously.
With all our love Of peace, and our
desire 10 see the European slaughter
ended. most Americans seem 10 be
coming around 20 the view that the
time 20 talk peace is yet distant, and
this despite the earnest exception fur
nished by our former secretary Of
state.
Every day that the war drags on
brings it's harvest Of calamity 70 the
human race But thoughtful observ-
ers realize that an abortive peace,
settlement that was only a truse.
might be still worse. Merely to stop
fighting. with wrongs unavenged and
fundamental issues unsettled. would
be 20 usher in a period OF greater and
more costly armament, in preparation
for the final arbitrament OF force. The
sword would hang over Europe's head
more menacingly than ever for few
months or years. and then might come
a conflict 20 which even this mighty
war would be chnd's play.
The struggle. apparently. must go
on as our own Civil war had TO. until
one side or the other is definitely
beaten. That outcome may arrive
suddenly, through an unexpected mill
tary or diplomatic coup, bringing such
preponderance Of force TO one side
that the other cannot hope TO stand
against it; or the conflict may drag
on until it is ended by the slow ex-
haustion Of the weaker side in men
and material resources.
In either case. the peacemakers
must wait We see now more clearly
than we did at first that the war is not
an accidental fare-up. but that it is a
real conflict OF national ideals, and
that it will do no good 10 rush in and
beat aside the swords OF the combat
ants If their minds remain the same
as before.
1t is really two conflicting types OF
civilization that have met on the bat
tIeheld Broadly speaking. it is un-
doubtedly autOcracy against democ-
racy Even in Russia, the spirit of
the people. though suppressed. is dem
ocratic There is involved the ques-
ton whether governm ent shall make
men mere cogs in a vast and resistless
machine which creates its own laws
and morals. or whether government
shall let men alone 10 develop their
individual powers and follow their
free inclinations Shall men make
their own government and force that
government TO mind its own business,
or shall government-ip the person OF
autocrstic leaders supported by mill
tary force-shape the people 10 its
own will. and use them rs implements
10 work its will on other nations?
Whichever way the fortunes Of war
turn. they ought to make a definite
decision between these clashing ma
tional ideals. so that the war won't
have to be fought over again. And IL
the issue is settled righsly. it may be
worth all the cost.

naturaliZed, some were not; many OF
both classes were property owners.
Some were anxious TO get out of the
country; others were just as anxious
that they should not be forced out of
IT, American agents had to look aft
er their interests.
Not the least difficult services re-
ouired of the American consuls and
diplomats have been in connection
with the colonial interests Of the bel
Hgerents.
What would happen to the nations
at war if it should happen that
America should herself appear as a
party 10 the war. and these records
and interests should naturally be
taken from her hands? It would APP
parently come pretty near to A paraly-
sis of international diplomacy.
1t is commonly believed in Wash

that the A. B. c." countries of South
America would be pretty generally
called IN 10 render the service.
Holland. Denmark, the Scandina-
Wan countries would still be nominal
ly available: but all of them are so
near the seat of trouble any of them
might at any time be drawn into the

all this work for belligerents will
amount TO a great sum. At present

The belligerent nations which are

that when the war is all over the
United States may. as an act of grace
