CURRENT THINKING ~
ARRAs.

over the hundreds of miles of body
strewn battlefields in Europe no more
deadly spot could be found during
recent fighting than just to the north
Of Arras, where for more than a
month and half the French have
driven home innumerable fearless, de-
termined assaults against almost i'm
pregnable field works. More lives
have been lost to the square yard of
lighting area here according to dis
patches, than upon any other part of
the endless battle line. Arras, the
point from which the French have
been strongly forcing the fighting, is
described in statement just isued
by the National Geographic Society:
''Arras, the capital of the French
department of Pas-de-Calais, is one
of the oldest and most important
towns of northern France and is sit
uated on the right and southern bank
of the river Scarpe at its junction
with the Crinchon, partly on heights
and partly in fertile plain. A low
line of heights extend to the north of
the town, where the present German
line runs almost due north to Ypres,
in Belgium
"Arras is one of the principal sta
tions on the French Northern Rail-
way, being about 1877 miles distant
from Paris by rail

The baggage master halted the
family party and politely explained
that under the new law the value OF
the contents of each trunk must be
given
After a brief consultation with her
daughter, mamma pointed to her own
trunk and said: "Please put this one
down as containing $1,000 worth OF
personal belongings This one" indl-
eating her daughters trunk, you may
put down for $500
How about this little one?' asked
the baggage master, resting his heel
on its top.
ooh, thatp replied the lady con-
temptuously Ten or twelve dollars
will cover that one"

TVANGOROD.

Before the Austro- German adj
vance, south Of Warsaw, the powerful
Russian fortress Ivangorod interposes
itself just about midway between the
great manufacturing metropolis OF
the Poles and the north Galcian from
tier. This city is a stronghold of the
first class and forms the center of a
defensive line guarding the southern
approach to the capital city of Rus
sian Poland. Especially Is It import
ant. as it stands upon the junction of
railways from Warsaw south, one of
which runs southwest to Keize. The
invading German armies are now re-
ported to be pressing toward Lublin
and interest in the near future may
center around the redoubtable fortress
at Ivangorod
Thus begins a war primer issued
today by the National Geographic So
ciety. dealing with the Russian Pre-
mysl. against which the conquerors OF
the lost Austrian Przemysl are striy-
ing. The statement continues
"Ivangorod Is 143 miles north
northwest Of Przemysl and more
than 60 miles from the Austrian bor-
der. It is about so miles southeast
of Warsaw The city Is situated at

to be navigable for larger boats. Nine
permanent works are built along the

Ivangorod, together with Brest-Litov-

WHERE PRIVATE CAPITAL
FAILS

~ HE Saturday Evening
" Post along with other
journals takes up the
cause of the shipping trust.
The Post thinks the La Toilette
law, which will go into effect
in November, should be re-
pealed. Else it will interfere
with the development of the
American merchant marine.
But we have not had the La
Toilette law in the past, yet we
have had no American marine.
If the La Toilette law with its
humane provisions is the source
of trouble why is it that during
all the years prior to the pass
age of the law our shipping was
not developed? Why were the
shipping people crying for a
government subsidy?
The facts of the case are that
private capital has proven a
failure in the development of
American shipping. 1t has
been cheaper to operate ships
under foreign flags with low
standards of living and pauper
wages. So our financiers have
invested in foreign ships and
allowed the American flag and
the American seaman to be
driven from the ocean. Capital
of that sort knows no patrio-
tism.
Appeals in behalf of the
shipping interests do not set
well while ship owners are i'm
posing their present piratical
charges for handling American
business. Under new charters
from so to so cents per bushel
is charged for carrying wheat
to Liverpool, exclusive Of the
insurance. The ship owner
makes more money per bushel
than does the farmer who rails
es the grain, yet they howl
eternally for a subsidy or about
something else.
The administration is justi-
fled in refusing longer to, have
faith in exclusive private oper-
alton of ocean lines and in pro-
posing government entrance in
to the business so as 10 provide
fit service for the commercial
and producing interests Of this
country.

Having been assured on these

paper only to be interrupted by his
young son and heir:

er is qualified to speak on the sub
ject, possess the only real vacuum
in the neighborhood and, for your
further information. it is situated just
between my collar and the glossy
space where | used to grow hair"
You mean your dome?"
Yes my son, that is the family
vacuum"

zone of the leading grain markets
Of France was held in this busy city
before the war.
"Chief among the factory products
of Arras were beet sugar agricultur-
al implements, hosiery, lace, pottery
and leather
"As early as the fourth century this
i'ttle town was famous Cor its woolen
manufactures, a fame that it has lost
to the great wooden centers of Britain
MIA across the water. 1t later became
famous wherever luxury held footing
for the manufacture of tapestries.
MANY an important action in
northern France has been fought in
and around Arras, a site where the
Latin. Celtic and German elements
have struggled since the foundation OF
the Roman empire. The city belong
cd to the Spanish branch of the House
Of Hapsburg until 164O when Louis
XIII of France captured it after a
long, severe siege.
''It was ceded to France by the
Treaty of the Pyrenees. The French
revolution and the invasion of the
Germans in 1S7O-1871 caused much

MORE BRITISH INsoLENCE

N plain words, the British
reply to the presidents
protest of March 80,
against lawless interference
with our ships and cargoes is
an imphdent persistence in
wrongdoing. Nobody is more
conscious of this offense than
the members of the British min
istry, for in answering us now,
they reverse the record of their
own government in like cases
for many years.
When the United States, un-
der international law, has
rights clearly established what
can be more intoleraDle than to
have a professed friend say
that those rights will be invad-
ed only with the minimum of
inconvenience? What can be
more insolent than to be assur-
ed by such a friend that on in
terrupting our lawful trade
with neutrals it will graciously
refrain from violence of confis-
cation? Is there any outrage
that one nation can afflict up
on another at peace more hu-
milating than to subject its le-
gitimate commerce to a pratt
cal censorship?
No matter how many diplo-
matte notes may be written or
how cleverly or falsely they
may evade the real issue, the
British government cannot
justify the seizure of neutral
ships laden with noncontra-
band goods bound from one
neutral port to another. Inter
national law recognizes and
defines blockades, but it speci-
fically declares that no block
ade shall be operative against
nations at peace.
The British blockade of Ger
many is in fact a blockade of
Holland, of Denmark, of Swe-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-07-15

den and Norway. We have
made no complaint as yet
against the legality of the so
called British blockade of Ger
many, although it is known
that it is maintained at long
range, and there is not even a
pretense that it is effective in
the Baltic.
1t is because the British
blockade of Germany is spuri-
Gus that these troubles have
arisen. 1t is not a true block
ade of Germany. 1t is more
particularly an embargo upon
the United States. The much
vaunted British sea power does
not close the ports of Germany.
1t is attempting to accomplish
that purpose in an easier way
by denying to the American
people the freedom of the seas.
If the United States cannot
command respect in Great
Britain, what reason have we
to hope for consideration in
