extremely self-respecting lot Of
folks, and quick on the trigger. No
nation in the world has more
creditable record of protecting its
sovereign rights to the limit of the
last yesort, than little Chile. 1t has
always entertained theory that
sovereignty is sovereignty, and that
the sovereignty Of little power
speaks in exactly the same terms as
that of great power. 1t is not
apparent just how Chile and Ger
many would fight each other; the
moon attacking Mars would have
about as good chance to establish
a line of effective action. But that
detail is not likely to worry Chile, if
she guesses that it is up to her to
get into the war.

THE ATTITUDE OF LONDON

London has not approved the tone
of the Presidents speech in Phila-
delphia, and, seizing from it the ex-
preston that there is such a thing
as nation being too proud to fight,
has turned it into a by-word and a
slur upon this country. 1t is derided
in the music halls and plastered
about the town, in fashion highly
offensive to this country.
Nothing can be gained by such a
disposition of the British public and
press. These are times in which
mutual goodwill has need to be cult
waited wherever there is seed and
soil in which it has chance to grow.
No country's good sentiments are
more important to Great Britain
than the United States.
1t is a dangerous business, this
picking a single sentence out of such
an important public utterance and, by
segregating it from context and con-
nection, giving it significance that
it does not deserve. 1t is dangerous
too, for public men to engage in
phrase-making; for no man may be
sure what phrase will be attributed
the controlling significance in ar
important utterance. When poll
ticians turn phrases for political use
and find themselves embarrassed by
misconstruction and misapplication
the thing is accounted rather smart
by their opponents, and the public
merely smiles at the word-fencing
But in time of grave internationa
conditions it is dangerous business
liable to breed misunderstanding
whose consequences may be of th'
most serious character.

ATTENTION OF THE EMBASSY.

murder and assassina ton Is the
strongest indication yet expressed OF
the stern judgment the Administration
has passed upon the torpedoing of the
Lusitania.
1t is apparent from conversations with
be experienced If the law applied dt-
rectly to DR.. Dernburg rather than to
a few publications supporting his views.
But the law relates wholly to the postal
administration and nothing that DR..
Dernburg could say would, apparently.
bring him within the reach of Federal
statutes except possibly in connection
with his deportation as an undesirable
alien unless he should mail, or attempt
to mail, copies Of his offensive ad-
dresses.
1t was explained that the Federal
Government had tried through the
Alien and Sed!tion act in the early
part of the last century to hold persons
to strict accountability for the spoken
word but that effort ended In what
Is regarded as a complete failure.
1t was pointed out that the mailing
of a newspaper carrying even a report
Of speeches like those Of Dr. Dernburg

the law. be held to violate the prov
ision. But 1t was made clear that no
such strict Interpretation would be fo!-
lowed by the Government. AS matter
OF fact, officials feel that the publicity

particularly since the sinking OF the
Lusitania. has only added to the coun-
try's horror at the deaths inflicted upon
noncombatant men.
While nothing was said as TO the
identity Of the newspapers that had at
tracted the Governments interest, it is
believed that one is published in St
Louis, one in Milwaukee. and another
possibly at Atlantic Highlands, N. j.

Demand For Teachers
Is Exceeding the Supply

Students and graduates OF the
George Washington University are
commencing to doubt the seriousness
of the unemployment situation-at any
rate, as far as the teaching profession
is concerned.
DIR. William Carl Ruediger. dean of
the Teachers College. announces that
he constantly Is receiving numerous
requests from schools and colleges In
the vicinity of Washington for sty-
dents and young graduates to fill po-
sitions as teachers. The demand ex-
cecds the supply. and Dean Ruedger
has issued a formal statement urging
students in the university who are de-
sirous of teaching. whether registered
in the Teach ars' College or not, to ttle
with him their applications.

CHILE AND GERMANY

From an unexpected quarter comes
the story of one more complication
brought about through the opera
tions of German diplomacy. British
cruisers sank the German cruiser
Dresden two months ago in the ter
ritorial waters of Chile, and Chile
protested to London. The facts
being ascertained, London made an
unconditional apology, which was
accepted. But this didn't satisfy
Germany, which wanted more,
though it is not very obvious what
more she could have expected.
In her zeal to force a blood-and-
iron policy on Chile, Germany in
dulged expressions which the Chilean
government regards as insulting
and now comes the story that the
Chilean government has perempto-
rily demanded that Germany with
draw and apologize for these, with a
pointedly stated alternative that
Chile will be compelled to take "such
action as may appear best to fit the
circumstances" also, that a time
limit for reply has been named by
Chile.
Our German friends are by way
of discovering, what the United
States has on several occasions
learned, that these Chileans are ar

BIG DITCH IS NOW ......
+. ON PAYING BASIS

Washington, July 23.- Counting
Eonly the cost of operation, of civil
government, sanitary work and ad-
ministration and the handling of
ships, the Panama canal is now on a
paying basis, according to official re-
ports. >-.
Receipts for May not only wiped
out the deficit of $50, ,4s0, which had
grown up since the opening up of the
canal trade, but. left a balance Of
s177,799, which works out profit
of 4.79 per cent on the expenditure.
This, however, does not make any
allowance for interest on the vast
sum of money expended in the con-
struction of the canal and from that
point of view the receipts have not
yet equaled the expenses.
