QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS,

| (Memphis Comm ercial AppcaD
We have the following questions
from Mr.. c. w. Weiss Of Hamburg
Ark, which We shall answer seria-
| tim:
"First-Do you approve of the
shipping of American ann unitiOn to
Europe? Watch has made and still
make German women and children
helpless?"
We approve OF selling ammunition
to anybody who wants to buy it, If
the Germans could transport amrnu-
milton across the sea we would sell
to them as quickly as anyon2 else. (
Mr.. Weiss were in general business
at Hamburg, he would not refuse to
sell man double barrel shotgun
because the man later might use it
for shooting another individual.
"Second-Do you approve of Eng
lands policy to starve the widows
and orphans? ?"
We do notapprove England's policy
y
as we do not approve of starving
widows and orphans in Belgium and
in North France by Germany.
"Third-Do you want American
ammunition on board English ships
protected by American citizens, in
tended to kill German soldiers?"
No. And no American citizen goes
on board a ship to protect ammani-
ton. There is no obstacle in law
against shipping certain ammunition
on merchant ships. If the hostile
ship determines to get at this ammu-
milton, it must take all passengers
and crew off before it destroys the
ship.
"Four-Do you hold the Assistance
of killing German people moral and
respectable; and do you consider the
destruction OF the ammunition on
tho Lusitania as criminal?"
This means nothing, but it sugs
gests the following statement: The
Germans anu the English are killing
one another :. with .enthusiasm; 1t
seems, to crafty them. 1t is their at
fair. But in trying til l,ill oneisnother
they must not kill Americans, SO
long as these Americans are within
the rulss Of international law.
The destruction of the ammunition
on the. Lus 1tania was not a crime,
but the killing OF the people on the
Lusitania in order to destroy the am
munition, was murder.
While the questions are on, we
suggest this question for Mr.. weiss
to think about: Does he consider the
sinking of merchant steamers OF
Norway and Denmark, loaded with
food and lumber bound for English
ports, regardless Of the lives OF the
crew, entirely proper on the part OF
Tho commanders OF the German sub
| marines?

force whatever be the manner OF

according to general principles OF
international law any experience OF
the right OF control ovar the trade
in contra band is subject to the de-
cision of the prsze courts, even though
such rights may be restricted by
special treaties.
"At the beginning of the present
war, Germany, pursuant to these
principles, established by law prize
Jurisdiction for cases OF the kind
under consideration. The case of the
William p Frye is likewise subject
to the German prize jurisdiction lot
the Prussian-American treaties men
toned contain no stipulation as to
how the amount of the compensation
provided by Article IL OF the treaties
cited is to be fixed.
"Prize Proceedings Indispensable
1.-The German government, there
fore, complies with its treaty obll-
cations to full extent when the
prize courts instituted by it in &C
cordance With International law pro-
coed in pursuance to the treaty
stipulation and thus award the
American interested an equitable in
demnity. There would, therefore, be
no foundation for claim OF the
American government, unless the
prize court should not grant lndem-
nifty in accordance with the treaty;
i'm such event, however, the German
government would not hesitate to ar
range for equitable indemnity not
withstandlng.
"For the rest, prize procee dings Of
the case of the Frye are indispensa-
Bile, apart from the American claims,
for the reason that other claims Of
the nsutral and enemy interested
parties are to be considered in the
matter.
LAS was stated in the note of
April last, the prize court should
have to decide the question whether
the destruction OF the ship and cargo
was legal. whether. and under what
conditions the property sunk was
liable to cOnfiscation and to whom
and in what amount indemnity is to
be paid, provided application there
for is receivd.
.'Since the decision of the prize
court must first be awaited before
any further position is taken by the
German government, the simplest
way for the. American interested
parties to settle their claims would
be to enter them in the competent
records in accordance withe proyis-
ions OF the German code OF prize pro-

(6J Is it not true that DR.. McCrea went
to a great deal of trouble, writing letters to
all the Baptist papers of the South, urging
them TO recognize facts. and to abandon this
system Of paying Chinaman to pose as a
"convert?"
Why did you suppress McCrea's letters?
Why didn't you let them 90 to the people
for what they were worth?
You were unwilling for missionary to
tell our Baptist people what he himself had
seen and learned about this mercenary, COM
merclallzed Carey system of missions.
You shut him out of all the Baptist papers.
Why did you do that?
Why did you virtually organize a con-
spiracy of suppression and silence?
What right have you, or any other Baptist
preacher, to keep facts away from us laymen?
DO you suppose that we mean to sur
render to you our independence and our right
to Judge for ourselves?
You rail at Watson's ''rhetoric", as you
call it, and you bemoan his alleged refusal
to stick to the facts, but you were mighty
careful not to let Dr. McCrea get before the
people with has facts
And when you and Dr. Graham told the
people that missionaries in China can not
live on native rice, poultry, eggs, mutton, fish,
potatoes, beef, ham, ETC., you made "a break"
that would ruin any other controversialist
Nor have you strengthened the ramparts
of your weakening defenses, when you pic

Some time ago, when the shad-bellies en-
ployed c. A. W.Adle, of The Ic0nczast, to
answer me on this question, they did not deny
that the priests used the language In issue.
On the contrary, Champion Windle admit
ted that the priests did use it; and he de-
Tended the practice By comparing 1t TO the

Of course my reply was simple:
The doctor does not go until he is sent for,
and then he examines the sick woman IN the
presence of others, usually female members OF
her own family
Now, however, the defense gives ground,
and takes up another line, saying, 1--WE don't
ask those nasty questions, any more"

Joseph McCabe studied at the famous

in 1896.
His testimony against the confessional is
in exact support of that of the ex-monk
Blanco White, the honored friend of Carlyle,
Mill, and Archbishop Whatley, of Dublin,
Ireland It supports the evidence of the ex-
priest William Hogan, who was a graduate
of Maynooth College, Ireland, and who be-
came close friend to Governor Clinton of
New York, chaplain to the legislature, etc.
In fact, the secret and private confessional
was never made a dogma in the Roman
Church until the year 1915.
It has been under fire, ever since Catholic
husbands and fathers instinctivezy hate 1t.
