The Washington herald., 1915-07-27

In sinking the American steamer Leelanaw
and her cargo of fax, destined for a port of her
| enemy, Germany, if the information at present
| available is reliable did not violate the laws of
civilization and humanity because the commander
of the submarine gave the crew of the American
an opportunity to escape before the torpedo was
launched. Judging from reports of the occurrence
the of the Leeanaw is almost identical with
that of the William P Frye, which is still the sub
ject of negotiations between Washington and Ber-
lin.
But while the destruction of the Leelanaw had
no such explosive effect in this country as would
have been the had American lives been sacri-
feed, there remains the serious question of wheth
er not it comes within the scope of the con-
Guiding paragraph of the note delivered in Berlin
on Friday by Ambassador Gerard, in which it
was set forth:
In the meantime the very value which this
government sets upon the long and unbroken
friendship between the people and government
of the United States and the people and govern
ment of the German nation impels it to press very
solemnly upon the imperial German government
the necessity for scrupulous observance of neu-
trail rights in this critical matter Friendship it
self prompts it to say to the imperial German
government that repetition by the commanders
of German naval vessels of acts in contravention
of these rights must be regarded by the govern
ment OF the United States, when they affect Amer
lean citizens, deliberately unfriendy.
We have by no means conceded in the case of
the William P. Frye that there was "scrupulous
regard" of neutral rights, and if it should be de-
termined that the status of the Leelanaw was SINH
lar to that of the Frye the sinking of the former
vessel must be regarded falling not very far short
of deliberately unfriendy act" 1t is improbable
in view of the observance of the principles of
civilization and humanity for which are SO
steadfastly contending, that Washington will
recognize in the sinking of the Leelanaw a cause
for the severance of diplomatic relations with
Germany; but viewed in the most favorable light
the occurrence has made difficult and doubtful
the harmonizing of difficulties between the two
tons. With very little to GAIN Germany proceed
ed with deliberaton to show her contempt for our
rights and her indifference to public sentiment in
this country, aroused by long series OF outrages
on the high seas. This absolute lack of considera-
ton for our position may we'll cause apprehension
for the future. The expectation is justified that
occasion may arise when Germany will
give no warning before sinking a vessel with
Americans on board. There will naturally be
disposition in the United States to regard the
sinking of the Leelanaw as a sort of acknowledge
ment OF the receipt OF note, and an expectant
awaiting of reply in full.

More Evidence of a Crime.

The steamer Eastland was VIGOROUSLY unsafe.
Everybody who had ever had anything to do with
the vessel knew there constant danger that
she would capsize. A crime was committed when
$500 persons, than half of them women and
would have been no greater crime to have loaded
the vessel down with human beings while FIRE
was burning in her hold. John Devereaux York,
a naval architect of Chicago, wrote a letter on
August g. warning the United States harbor in
spector OF that city that the Eastland was unsafe
Il stated in that letter." said Mr.. York after the
accident, that the Eastand was not safe boat
Every naval architect who knew the construction
will tell you she was extremely dangerous She
had d thirty-eight foot beam for which all laws
OF steamboat construction require at least forty
inch keel. The Eastland had no keel at all. There
not coal passer in the hold who was not
aware OF the danger; the fact that none of them
found in the glory hold after she turned over
showed that There was a narrow scaling ladder
leading up from that hold and twenty men worked
there. 1t would take twenty men at least twenty
minutes to get out, climbing this narrow ladder
But they all out when the ship listed"
There is the Indictment it should not be diff
cult to convict the guilty ones. If the vessel in
spection laws have been violated many persons, in
Guiding the vessels owners and the men who in
spected her or some higher up, must answer to a
grave charge in a court OF justice. If the nspec-
ton laws were observed, those who framed them
and responsible for their enactment cannot
escape share OF culpability; and Congress must
proceed at the earliest moment to enact new ones

Something Doing on the Border.

Indications that Gen. Fred Funstons
watchful waiting the Mexican border may Gull
inmate very in real action. He has reported
to the War Department that Gen. Gales of the
Carranza forces, is preparing to attack Nogales in
spite OF Carranza's assurance that he would avoid
border fighting that might endanger American
lives. 1t is announced here that Gen. Funston's
orders are to rcpcl with force, if necessary, any
troops whose operations threaten life on our side
Of the line, and that it is not necessary for him
to consult Washington before proceeding to carry
out his task. Washington has so often been
seized by an attack OF cold feet when the simple
duty OF safeguarding the lives of citizens on the
border has confronted it that it would not be sur
priSing if the hero OF the Philippine campaign
should yield to the temptation to cut the telegraph
wire before he fires the first voley In the past our
demonstrations along the border in half-hearted
attempt to protect peaccable citizens of this coun-
try, and the insolent defiance of our soldiers by
the belligcrcnts have been farcical in view of the
easy remedy always in our hands. Whether or not
the change in the Cabinet has anything to do with
1t, 1t must be admitted that the present situation
looks like business

To Hyphenated Editors,

If it be possible for those German editors who
so freely and in not few cases bitterly assail the
President of the United States for his manage
ment of the diplomatic affairs of his country to
divert their attention for a moment from the
superiorities of the nation within whose bounds
they are not domiciled it might be profitable for
them to consider seriously this fact:
Were they in Germany what they are in
America, their utterances would not be dry from
the press before their publications were suppressed
and they themselves marched off to Jail Their
outgivings, tolerated here, would not be for
moment endured under the rule of the Kaiser.

to enforce the surprising excellence OF the sys-

not asking too much of them when it is suggested
that they reflect for at least brief space on the

so heatedly praise they attempted the conduct
that has characterized their campaign for the
