seamen's law passed by the last seS-
sion of Congress, the terms Of which
it is claimed, made it impossible for
the Pacific Mail to compete with the
japanese lines. Many of the mem
bers of the crews, chiefly in the hre
rooms, consist Of cheap coolie labor
and, under the new law, the Pacific
Mail would have to replace them with
men speaking the same language as
the officers of the ship. This, 1t was
stated, was one Of the most onerous
clauses of the new law, but there
were others which contributed to the
decision of the steamship company
to dispose of its property

AMERICAN
FLAG YANISHES

Several months ago at time when
the yellow peril" makes periodical
returns an apprehensive American
was talking with japanese official.
The former referred to relations be-
tween the United States and Japan
and incidentally suggested that Nip
pom might have to fight for COM
mercial supremacy in the Pacific.
The subject Of the Mikado smiled
and assured his companion no SUCH
thing was likely, as Japan already
enjoyed ninety per cent of the trade
of the ocean and had no idea of at
tempting to capture the other tenth
by an expensive war uncertain IN Its
result. The japanese moreover SAID
that, under present conditions, it was
impossible for the United States to
compete with Japan, as labor condl-
tions in this country made it impos-
sible.
1t seems that the small share OF
the Pacific trade enjoyed by America
has passed from her, and at this
time the island kingdom, in COM
mercial sense, rules the Pacific.
While we make no criticism of tha
law which has brought these con-
ditions about, the fact that the Unit
ed States has no part in the trade OF
the Pacific is unfortunate.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany in pursuance of its plan, an
nounced some time ago. of disposine

GERMAN CRUISER DESTROYED
Russian Vessels Sustain no Serious
Injury il Naval Fight

Petrograd, Aug. 14-According to
the latest unofficial accounts,
the Russian Baltic fleet inflicted
heavy losses on the German battle
ship squadron near Oesel Island
Thursday.
1t is stated that a large German
cruiser was destroyed and several
other warships damaged. Despite the
heavy firing of the German ships
the Russian vessels sustained no
loss or serious injury. Russian sea-
planes again rendered invaluable SER
vice in supporting the fleet.
1t is surmised that the enemy's
purpose was to reconnoiter the wa
tiers of the northern Baltic and, if
possible, bottle up the Russian fleet
in the Gulf of Finland and the Cult
of Bothnia.
AS long as the Russian warships
are able TO penetrate to the south il
will be impossible for the German to
provision Won Buelow by sea or to
send transports for the Libau and
Windau operations. The hostile fleet
must be regarded as a
necessary adjunct to the land opera
lions between the Dvina and the Me
men.
Oesil Island is at the mouth of, and
commands the entrance to, the Gulf
of Riga in the Baltic.

GERMANY'S
PROMISE.

The Kaiser is still fixing dates fol
momentous events. Like the Miller
ties, however, who predicted the end
of the world in the early thirties, he
is merely changing his dates. The
German army were to eat their din
ner in Paris September Is, 1914.
The Teutons now promise the world
to end the war in October.
The allies, too, seem to have a
changable calendar. The Russian cry
of Son to Berlin" is not heard at
present. The Baltimore American
of today says:
"When the leaves begin to turn
and the air becomes chill and the
frost is gemming the pumpkins,
peace, sweet peace, the gift of the
Kaiser to the world, will be heralded.
So says dispatch from Amsterdam
that processes to set forth a recent
order of the day issued to the leu
tonic armies in Flanders. The order
is said to declare that the work of
the Germans in the east is finished
and they are ready to begin in the
west. 1t winds up with the words,
peace is certain in October" Such
fine calculation in the presence Of SO
much of miscalculation by the Teu-
ton allies is certainly refreshing.
But there is no power of divination
among them or anyone else as to the
time that the divinity that shapes the
ends of nations will take to bring
about peace and when this shall be
acclaimed.
"The world would welcome peace,
the neutral world would experience
perculiar relief. But the world does
not believe that the German order
Of the day represents prcscience in
the matter Of when the war shall
come to a close AS to the drive in
the west, if the Allies have not pre-
pared for it they may be driven in
deed and the way may be opened for
a German peace in October. But the
business of being prophet in this
war is not one to command respect
The naming Of October as the date
when the Allies will sue for peace is
Of no more value than to mention the
same date for total conquest by the
Allies. The war has not yet advanc-
ed to the point at which safe predic-
tions can be made as to the out
come
