VARYING VIEWS OF Tns FLAG

Having said things about the
American Goverpment they would
not have been permitted to say
about the government of their own
countries had they remained at
home, certain hyphenated citizens
now are clamoring loudly for the
protection of foreign-built ships
which claim American registry un-
der the act of 1914. No one is going
to get excited over the sudden re-
jspect these citizens seem to have
formed for the American flag since
the Hooking case. and since several
letters have been written to the Sec
retary of State, urging the claims
Of other vessels that wish to sail.
This effort to wave a sort of psy-
Geological flag over ships of ques-
tionable status by sympathizers
with Germany, is closely akin to the
action of the British in placing real
American flags over their vessels for
protection.
Senator Fletcher, who was chair
man Of the Commerce Committee
when the bill providing for the reg
istry of foreign built ships. and Of
vessels with foreign crews until
1921, has stated that he believes
this Government will give its pro-
lection to all ships which can show
bona fide purchase and registry. Blu,
neither he, nor any other propo.
nents of measure intended only tc
develop our merchant marine, sane
tion the protection of vessels whose
American registry is debatable, ant
which, even if registered, may have
their registry invalidated by failure
to comply with the requirement.
concerning ownership.
The tremendous respect some foil
gain for the American flag when ,
matter of protection is involved, ant
the sudden falling off of that re
spect when nothing is wanted of thi
Government, is surprising. The Stat
Department has indicated that it in
tends to protect all vessels, dul.
purchased from neutrals, in accord
ance with maritime law. The pro
lection to be accorded vessels tina
have been owned by persons fron
beiligerent nations, and in whicl
such persons still have an interest
is problematical.

King Of England will stand anything
save the passing Of the ports Of
Flanders into the hands of the
French" In 1918 Lord Castlereagh,
then British premier, asserted that
ITO leave Antwerp in the hands Of
the French would impose on US the
necessity Of perpetual state Of
war" And Disraeli in 1870 told the
commons at is Of the highest i'm
portance to this country that the
whole coast from Ostend to the
North Sea should be in the posses
sion Of free and flourishing COM
munities from whose ambition the
liberty and independence Of England

menaced."
The Franco-Belgian battle line Is
still the most important front in
the war, and it will remain so. Eng
lands safety will not be assured

into their own country, and Belgium,

BRYAN's DECLARATION OF WAR

William Jennings Bryan, the
apostle of peace at any price. has de-
clared war against President Will
son. But he will never be able to
block Mr.. Wilson's program for pre-
paredness II the President has a
suitable plan and is determined to
press it.
Mighty few Democrats in Con-
gress would dare defy national SEN
timent, which is overwhelmingly in
favor Of strengthening our military
forces both on sea and on land. If,
however, some Democrats in the
House and in the Senate should be
mad enough to align themselves
against the necessary appropria-
tions merely on the peace grounds
outlined in Mr.. Bryan's statement
there would be Republicans in
abundance to supply the votes such
Bryan followers might withhold
from the military measures which
are imperative to the safety of the
nation.
What Bryan, baked in Congress
could do against Mr.. Wilson in thu
political field is horse of another
color. Undoubtedly he is shrewt
enough to see that the tide has al
ready turned against the Democratic
policies. He may calculate that i
he sets up the false issue of anti
militarism he may be able to maxi

Bile, but the departure by the Demo

Mr.. Bryan may think he can shit

if measure to the Wilson militar
program. But he can't.
The American people want an
will have military preparedness
though Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Brya
be as far apart as the poles.

BRITAIN'S "FRONTIER IN

A dispatch from The Hague says

the German imperial chancellor, de-
scribing the terms of peace that
would be acceptable to the Kaiser,
declared one would be the cession of
Belgium and the Meuse line.
That is just another twist Of the
lions tail. For centuries it has been
the aim of the English to prevent
any power from establishing itself
on the Belgian coast in a position
menacing to England. In 1852

osts Job; Dies First Day.

John J. Cullen had been out Of
work since January. Almost every
day he had applied for work from the
contractors building q bridge across
the Passaic river between Belleville
and Arlington. N. J..
An extra man was needed and the
contractors put Cullen to work.
Pleased at getting job. he worked
with zest until noon. AS he was leav-
ing the bridge for lunch he fell into
the water q few feet from shore.
The water was shallow. Cullen
rose to his feet and staggered to
shore. Then he dropped again. When
men reached him he was dead. He
was thirty-five years old. and lived
at 216 Cleveland avenue, Harrison.
