A WAR oF REPRIsALs
lNnw vnrl, VVnrldl

(New York World)
 Both the British and German governments oiflc- tally admit that they areconductng war of reprisals at the expense of neutrals.
 In his note to the American Ambassador in Lon don Sir Edward Grey. the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. offers this excuse:
 need scarcely dwell on the obligation in- cumbent upon the Allies to take every step in their power to overcome their common ene- my, in view of the shocking violation of the recognized rules and principles of civilized war fare of which he has been guilty during Che present struggle. Your excellency's attention has already been called to some of these pro- ceedings in the memorandum which handed you the 18th of February. Since that time Lord Bryce's report based on evidence care fully siited by legal experts, describing the atrocities committed in Belgium, the poisoning of wells in German Southwest Africa, the use of poisonous gases against the troops in Fland- and finally the sinking of the Lustitania without any opportunity to passengers and non- combatants to save their lives has shown how indispensable 1t is that we should leave unused no justifiable method of defending ourselves. In the German note of July 8. Herr Jagow, the Imperial Foreign Secretary insisted that the re- sponsbiity for Germanys murderous submarine policy rested solely upon Great Britain:
 On Nov 8, 1914 England declared the North Sea a war area, and by planting poorly anchored mines and by the stoppage and capture of ves- sels made passage extremely dangerous and difficult for neutral shipping, by that actually blockading neutral coasts and ports contrary to international law Long before the beginning of submarine war England practically inter- cepted legitimate neutral navigation to Germany also Thus Germany was driven to a submarine trade
 Both of these reprisal pleas were effectively dis posed of by President Wilson in the note of July 21 to the German government
 for a bellgerent act of retaliation is per SC act beyond the law and the defense of act retaliatory is on admission that 1t is illegal.
 Great Britain and Germany alike have been law less in their treatment of neutral commerce. although the oense differ greatly in kind and in degree Great Britain has massacred no helpless neutras and non combatants. British naval commanders have sunk no neutral ships and destroyed neutral cargoes. The British government in it's blockade practices has dis regarded law The German government has disregard ed both law and humanity.
 Nevertheless. the duty of the United States is clear As the powerful of the neutral nations and the one capable champion of neutral rights 1t must hold both beligerens strictly to account If it concede what Great Britain asks it must in principal concede what Germany asks and admit that neutrals have rights belligerent is bound to respect That is what 1t all comes to.
 The fact that Great Britain is not following the barbarous and murderous methods by which Germany seeks to terrorze the high in establishes the legality of the British blockade.

"That is Just the point, Crewe.
Some of those presents were lifted
and by gun who was so slick that
Muchmore, who was assigned there,
and who was in the room all the time,
never had chance to drop to It,"
WELL what's the answer. Blunt
ing?"
"Muchmore and believe that you
could assist us to recover that lost
property-and there is a generous re-
ward in 1t for all of us If you can"
"So?"
what do you say, Crewe?"
"Do you want to know what / say
about it, Bunting? This, then: Lieu
tenant Muchmore began in a mighty
poor way tonight, If he wished me to
do him favor. He has insulted me
twice, and without reason.
UNLESS he apologies fully and
completely, and does it in the pres
ence of my bartender, will have
nothing more to do with him-nor
with you, either, so long as you re-
main his sidepartner. You have got
nothing on me. I don't need you or
want you-and won't stand for that
sort of talk"
"And If he will apologize"
II won't, SO that ends it," Much
more interrupted, his temper again at
white heat.
The mere idea that he should be
called up to apologize to the keeper
Of resort for Crooks and thieves
to that man Crewe, who was widely
supposed to condone every form of
vice save one-to the protector of
criminals enraged him beyond
words.
He started to his feet in a storm of
fury, reaching for his weapon as he
did so: but it was his own partner,
Bunting, who siezed his arm ana held
1t.
Crewe sat perfectly still, the blem-
ish on his face glowing hideously un.
der the electric-bulb over the table.
Then, when that first paroxism of
rage had passed. when Bunting had
released his partners arm, Crewe
slowly left his chair and threw open
the door that led into the hallway.
Good night, Bunting" he said.
"This is the way out. Tell your
friend that when he comes 10 Inc in a
proper frame of mind and makes that
apology because he believes 1t to be
due me, may do not promise-I
may decide to try to help you BOTH"
