OUR RIGHTS ON THE OCEAN.

The undoubted rights of commerce on the
high seas cannot be surrendered compromised in
any case They must be maintained unfalteringly.
The exgencies of belligerents their convenience
cannot suspend or abolish limit rights guaranteed
by treaty precedent and international law.
With England our grievance is the detention of
our merchant ships trading with neutral ports such
as those of Holland. The blockade declared against
German ports cannot affect Holland, and yet our
ships bound for Dutch ports taken into British
harbors to be examined because their cargoes may
be destined for Germany
In the case of the American steamship Frye
which was sunk by German commerce destroyer
American treaty rights clear. In the American
note made public today the destruction of the Frye
is shown to be violation of the treaty between the
United States and Prussia, which treaty is obliga
ton upon the government of Germany
Indemnity Is asked for ship and cargo, and the
only question is the amount of the indemnity. Thii
question does not come within the province OF prize
court, and our government protests against its sub
mission to any such court.
The United States has been most patient and for
bearing in its relations with the begerent nations

priation In their regular budget.
IF the quartermaster's department
was so positive last year that they
needed s60,000 and the same need
existed when they came before our
committee, why was public attention
not called to the fact that the ap-
preparation now available would
destroy any chance of an encampment
this year, or have addressed tho gov
ernor IN this matter, so that he could
have called the attention of the Legis-
lature to the seriousness OF the situa-
tion when 1t met in special session
two weeks after the passage Of the
appropriation bill.
"The facts are that no intimation
was made of any lack of funds for
this years encampment In the gov
ernor's message to the special session,
but few days after adjournment,
when the governor and his party were
on their way to the Panama exposi-
| tion, wide public notice was given of
the abandonment of the encampment,
coupled with an attempt to fasten
the blame upon tins years Legisla-
| ture.
1.-THE abandonment of the encamp-
ment is indeed unfortunate at this
time, but It is evident that the Of
f1cials who made the request of both
appropriation committees must have
known how seriously the lack OF
funds would have affected this years
encampment. They must share a
large measure of the blame, If not the
entire blame, for our present predica-
ment by not calling the attention OF
the proper parties to this matter in
time to have allowed the Legislature
to act If they really wanted an en-
campment this year" Yours very

Assemblyman Pierson Further Explains"
he Editor of the Evening Star;

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Rather than offer further ex-
PLANTATION for my former position in
the National Guard appropriation
matter I shall make the following
statements which carry one or two
inquiries:
1.-THE quartermaster-gen has in
jected new and hitherto unheard Of
figures in the discussion of the en-
campment matter He describes GER
tain suspended account, amounting to
s18,5S7, which should be added to the
comptroller's figures of SAL ,420, as .he
expenditures for the 1914 encampment.
This is the first intimation any mem
ber of the appropriation committee
has had of this item, and prompts the
inquiry, why expenditures made in
July and August should be held over
until after the end of the fiscal year.
when the appropriation commit
tee met in January last they called
upon the comptroller's office for the
amount chargeable against the sew
eral appropriations for the year just
closed, and while the committee met
several times each week up to the
middle of April no intimation was
given them that expenditures were
other than the Sal, ,420, which appeared
in the comptroller's report.
while 1t is true that the quarter
masters representative requested a
supplemental appropriation to make q
total of 100000 available for this
years encampment he stated that he
had requested the full $4,000 of last
years appropriation committee, which
they failed to grant; consequently il
lis difficult to understand what justifi-
cation can be found for the present
attempt to relieve last years commit
tee or Legislature of the RESPONSE

TAYLOR MUST SHOOT THE oHUTEs.

Rigidity of the vertebrae is essential in the
anatomical makeup of a county chairman that lack
ing this quality of Stiffness Herbert w. Taylor will,
in all human probability, be compelled to shoot the
chutes" this fall That is to say, he will be slid down
the toboggan instead of being reelected chairman of
the Essex County Republican Committee
To make 1t more clear to those not over-familiar
with everyday vernacuiar in its expressive form,
Herbert will get gate in other words, he will
have to pedal the pine, which in plain English
means walk the plank"
That is the fate that to be in store for
Herbert, while beckonng welcome looks smilingly
in the face of Harry B. OConnel, who has consented
to joust with Herbert in the chairmanship arena.
1t may not be that the Republican voters love
Harry Herbert less, but every indica-
ton is they have sized up Herbert represent
ing so much putty to be nodded into any form by
latter's whims.
Had Herbert displayed frmness of leadership,
had he been the chairman of the committee in fact
and exemplifed the qualifications of chairman by
word and deed is safe to that these attributes
coupled with his nice disposition and excellent char
acter, would have made him an unbeatable candi-
date In any popular contest.
But the reverse seems to be the That Her
bert is but a straw for the redoubtable Dali
rymple, to obey his wishes and to carry out his or
ders, is conviction too strongly imbedded to be
easily removed. So Herbert must go. That is the
slogan being quietly sung, and sung with steady
stiffness that is penetrating. He may win out as
county committeeman from his district with hands
down. but that county chairmanshp is another story.
1t is too late to attempt to manifest stfening of
the backbone to proclaim independence of ac-
ton The lines are drawn too taut for anything like
that.
Now If Dalrymple himself were to come out in the
open and announce himself a candidate for county
chairman the issue could not be doubtful one. If
he won, and his chances of victory would undoubt-
edly be good, It would be understood that County

WHAT MEN LIVE BY

Author Of s.Pushing to the Front" nto
Copyrighted 1914.

IN a recent talk on "What Men
Live By" the noted physician and
author, DR.. Richard Cabot, Of the
Harvard Medical School, said that
real life means the nourishing, sus-
tanning and developing Of existence
by work, play, love and worship, each
in its time and place. With these
life is happy, despite inevitable sor-
row and pain, successful despite Bit
ter failure. Without these four great
essentials we lapse into animalism.
A certain amount of play, healthful
recreation of some kind is as neces-
sary at all seasons OF the year to
keep us well balanced, Gin tune with

This is the playtime Of the year.
Now Is the time to get away from the
theatre, the dance hall, the moving
picture show; to go into the country
and feast eye and mind on the master
pictures nature has spread out for
our enjoyment.
People who alternate work with
play, who frequently get close to
nature, preserve the sweetness of
life; are sounder, saner; have more
common sense, as well as more of tho
energy and enthusiasm that win, than
those who never drop their work.
When man has ceased to play,
when his play instinct has been
bnghted by too close application to
his vocation or by dissipation he has
reached the point of diminishing re-
turns. He is going backward. Decay

Sunburn and Tan Yield to the Ounce
Seed Remedy.

To deliver themselves from the evil
of pain does not impel sensible girls
and women to frown upon sunburn.
Rather is it a matter of maintaining
their comeliness = of preserving a
smooth and velvety texture of the
| skin. How, then, may this be ac-
complished without loss of the bene-
fits of Apollo and Aeolus? Assuredly
the unpleasant odor of olive oil and
cottonseed oil. not to speak of it's
mucilaginous qualities, precludes all
use of these for my lady's toilet.
| AT hand, there is, however, safe
guard against sunburn which will act
as did magic in the golden prime of
good Haroun Al-Raschid. This Is a
| little ounce seed gum with glycerine,
| benzoin, hot water and menthol in
weak alcohol, made into separate So
| iutions.
1t Is preferable to make the neces-
sary anti-weather mixtures yourself.
Therefore, purchase some ounce seed
and pour one ounce of 1t into quart
of water kept boiling. Remove the
| boiling water and ounce seed and
place this in another closed vessel for
an hour. The mixture will now look
| like semi-transparent paste or mucil-
age, and should be strained through
sterilized gauze or cheese cloth.
The Method of Application.

will not keep. If, however, to. each
six ounces ten drops of oil of lily of

last an appropriate time.
Here, then, you have a most i'm

sunburn. Used after the flesh has
been heated up a bit with water
which is a little more than warm
and a little less than hot, worked in

until the pores and flesh are opened
with a little ore-than-warm-a and

The major part of this operation is
to manipulate the ounce seed lotion
