The German theory for the defence
OF tho indefensible is outlined in the
remarks of the ingenious Or. Dern-
burg and echoed I'm half dozen COM
munications. signed and anonymous.
which The Sun has the honor of ac-
knowlodging this morning. DR.. Dern-
burg is reported as saying:
1T Is ridiculous to call murder or
piracy the death of people WHO un-
necessarily get in between the fight
ing lines in a war
In The same spirit a correspondent
in Newark says
"If ships must move into the dan
ger zone, then lei them sink. Drown
ing rs not moro morciless than starv-
ing. England gives no mercy and de-
serves none. And those who defy the
peril deserve none either. Neither
England nor Germany will permit
herself TO be starved or crushed in
the name of courtesy. War is war,
and the deadlier il is the sooner il
will be over"
A second correspondent puts the
matter this way.
Two months notice would seem TO
be quite sufficient TO non-combatants
and neutrals that If they took pas
sage on an enemys liner they did so
at their own risk. Germany is hold
ing up and destroying England's com
merce by submarine warfare. and
Germany explicitly stated in her war
zone decree that it would be unsafe
for any or all vessels TO penetrate
certain territory, as such vessels
would be destroyed, capture not be-
ing possible with submarines. Nobody
will regret the loss of life more than
Germany, but when you go counter tC
the law nobody should cry If they
are hurt"
There is another phrase expressing
what Or. Dcrnburg calls getting in
unnecessarily between the fighting
lines In a war"
There was another warning besides
that which our correspondent de

Great Britain's interests in China

The German version of the re-
markable transactions in China is
that Japan and Great Britain have
reached an understanding whereby
Japan will be given a free hand i'm
northern China and Manchuria and
that Great Britain will feel equally
free to operate in southern China In
short, Japan and Great Britain have
conspired to protect the integrity OF
China and keep it from falling into
the hands OF outside powers by divid-

Whether this German view be cor
rect or not, it is clear that Japan is
determined to wrest from China cX-

POLTTICS AND LABOR INSPECTION |

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL;
Sir According to your editorial OF
April |. the Attorney-General's opin-
ion has cleared the atmosphere and
settled the doubt in the public mind,
because, by the law the Labor lnspec-
tor is eligible to hold the office. But,
after all. the law is one thing. and
public opinion is another. There VIII
always be an undercurrent of dis
satisfaction about the affair.
Because the AttOrney-General has
said II is right according TO law will
not alter the opinion of those who
thought il wrong or make the Office
of inspector a political plum. The le-
gality OF the act in no way grasses
the fact from the minds of the public
that the state Labor Commission is
now in the political arena TO stay
II Is certainly a step backwards. Pub
lie opinion may have no legal status
but Il is something to be respected
and il Is something that can work its
own end by a judicial use of the bal
lot.
Yours truly.

Il promised to protect and the commercial

LING NICHOLAS.

King Nicholas of Montenegro whose little nation was one of the charter members of the Allies, will begin his seventy-ffth year tomorrow, as he was born Oct z, 1841. Despite his age, the M0ntenegrin monarch has taken an active part in the conflict. leading his little but bravef farfny in it's attacks on Austrian territory King Nicholas is the father-in-l law of, the King of Italy and of the Grand Duke Nicholas Nicolaievitch, the deposed commander-in-cn of the Russian army. He has ruled longer than any other European sovereign with the ex- aception of Francis Joseph his arch enemy, having succeeded his uncle, Prince Danilo l., 55 years ago. Danilo was murdered, and Prince AIirkos re- signed the succession in favor of his son, the present king. Montenegro was then subject to Turkey, and soon after his accession Mich olasl declared war on the Sultan, but was not alto gether successful. In 1876 he Joined Serbia. and in 1877 was the ally of Russia against the hereditary foe, with the result Hat 1900 square miles were added to his territory. Five years ago Nicholas, until that time only a prince. proclaimed himself king. and in 1912 he declared war against Turkey, anticipating by %sev- eral days the procIamations of the other Balkan allies. The old monarch fought valorously in that struggle, which raised issues for which a solu- ton is now being sought in the great est war in history. Nicholas married when he was only 19 and has nine children, six daughters and three sons. Grown Prince Dani1o A1exan- der, now A married a. German prin- cess, daughter of the Grand Duke. of Meck1enburg- Strelittz. His eldest daughter, Militia, became the bride of Grand Duke Peter of Russia.

Albert Jeremiah Revert dge, former United States Senator from Indiana and long prominent in national poH- ties, will pass his ffty-third milestone today. The Hoosier statesman was born on an Ohio farm, but was reared in Illinois, and later adopted Indiana as his home. MT. Beyeridge has spent some time in Europe since the begin ming of the war, visiting all of the leading countries involved in the ti- tanic struggle, and has set down his impressions in a book entitled What Is Back of the War" In the axpos- ure of the activities of German agents in America, recently published in the New York World, one, of the Teuton representatives is alleged to have ad- vised the establishment of a lecture bureau, ostensibly impartial, but un- der the control of the German gov ernment, by means of which a num- Der of prominent Americans, among them MT. Beyeridge, might be used, without their seeing through the scheme, in the interests of Germany by being induced to lecture on .Ameri- canism and on the dangers to, be ap- prehended from Japan and England.' In his book the Indiana statesman has attempted to present to Am merican readers his impressions of the ideas and public sentiment which animate Germany, France and Great Britain

He worked his way through high school and then entered DePauw University, in Indiana, from which he received the degree of Ph- B. in 1885. He read law in the office. of Senator Joseph B.

The first Mrs. Beveridge died in 1900, and in 1907 he married Catherine Eddy, of Chicago The ceremony was Perform ed in Berlin, Germany, where the brides brother Spencer Eddy, was secretary of the American embassy. MT Beveridge was first elected to the United States Senate in 1898, and was reelected in 1905.
