RESCUE THE PERIsHING

Being of a very charitable DISPOSE
ton. The virginian hastens to rescue
from the meshes of his own argument
a hard working and well meaning con-
temporary. The editor of the Rich
mond Evening Journal, in his first dis
cussion of ts1e Arabic incident seem
ingly slipped a cog He advanced the
argument that If the captain of the
Arabic saw another ship sunk near
him, and if he thought said sinking
was caused by a submarine torpedo
and if he thereupon put on full steam
10 get out of the danger zone-t'1at If
all these things happened, then under
the rules Of international law and pre-
cedent, the responsibility of the
tragedy was shifted from the shoulders
Of the man whose saip fred the tor
pedo and was imposed on the
shoulders Of the man whose ship was
hit.
This we remarked was neither in
ternational law, precedent, nor COM
mon sense.
The Journals reply is expressed in
the following:
From the beginning of civiliza-
tion and the general use OF the
seas. 1t has been the law raat
war vessel oNertaking a hostile
merchant vessel fred a shot
across her bows to attract atten-
ton and give warning and If she
failed to heed those, proceeded to
open on her with hard shot and
Shell"
This is, of course, sound common
sense Jaw precedent, and everything
else. If the submarine fired a shot
across the bows of the Arabic, if her
commander hailed the Arabic, if he
made any effort to communicate with
her to inform her Of his intentions
and the Arabic still tried to escape, the
Journals position would be absolutely
correct. No one could bring single
charge against Germany.
There are two little matters in the
way, however. In the first place the
submarine did not do any of these
things, and in the second place the
Journal did not state this position un.
til after The Virginian had pointed out
the error of its ways. For the benef1
of all concerned let us state to tn,
public that the Journal meant to say
what it meant when it did not say 1t
but unfortunately for it. said some.

THE MAN WITH THE GALL.
BY Z. p. KING.

OF all the "Guys" beneath the skies,
the most abhorred of all is he who
thinks, that he, By Jinks, can live upon
his gall. He thinks the earth owes him
a berth, whether he works or not, and
that his friend hand should lend, to
ease his heavy lot. He's always there,
no matter where, so long as every thing
comes out his way, but Hell's to pay,
should Chance, misfortune bring. What
conscience is, ne'er bothers his sophis-
ticated brain; he looks to naught, no
matter what, that cringes not to Gain.
In all his ways he ne'er repays friend
ly act or deed; but ever stands with open
hands to hug his idol, Greed. If he
could see himself, as we see him, 'twould
make him sigh; he'd paw the air and
tear and swear, and wish such friends
would die. If he would die, no one
would cry; and, though not very nice,
we all do know that he would 60 to a
place they don't make ice.
