The Associated Press summary Of
the presidents third note 10 the Ger
man government on its sea warfare
methods published recently may be
justly regarded as Official No re-
sponsible news agency would take any
guessing chances with public doc
uusnt o1 such importance.
The government of the United States
in the presidents third note TO the
German government on the Lusitania
and similar outrages has closed the
discussion as TO the facts and princi-
pies involved. The United States con-
ss1ts TO further discussion. not Of
facts and principles, but only of ways
and means by which the sea warfare
practices OF both European combat
ants may be brought into conformity
with established rules OF international
law and with respect for American
rights and humanity's upon the public
highways Of the seas.
With this friendly and humane pur-
pose the United States, realizing the
unusual existing conditions in the con-
duct Of maritime war, offers to act as
Intermediary between the belligerents
with view to arranging between
them some @modus vivendi7-some
method Of getting aiong-which does
not involve any surrender by the
United States Of the rights Of its citi-
zens on the seas. and Of its duty to
protect them there.
The German governments offer Of
certain privileges" TO American ships
and the American flag is necessarily
rejected. since TO accept il would be
to admit the German governments
right to annuI the fundamental prin-
ciples Of international law that neu-
trails may travel anywhere on the high
seas on unarmed ships of any nation
ality, regardless Of the nature Of their
cargoes. To accept that offer would
also consent to annu1ment OF our spe~
cial treaty with Germany, securing to
neutrals even broader rights, which
treaty and German government has
repeatedly recognized as in full force
and effect.
Pointing out that the German gov
eminent, by declaring its submarine
warfare is "retaliatory" against al
legged unlawful acts of its enemies, has
admitted that destruction without
warning Of unresisting merchantmen
is a violation Of international Law
pointing out also that German sub
marine commanders have proved that
they can confirm to principles of in
ternational law and humanity in max

SURPRISING THE CAUSES OF WAR

(MalcoIm c. Burke in The Puhlie).
1t may be untimely, at the present
moment, TO speak Of government own
ership OF war materials-of govern
ment control of their manufacture and
sale. Yet it seems clear that, had this
step been taken in the past, our de-
partment Of state might now be spared
much perplexity and embarrassment.
Naturally. the United States would
officially retain the right to sell NUM-
tons OF war to whomsoever she chose.
But the responsibility for that sale
would then rest where 1t most assured
ly belongs-upon the whole people. No
longer would an important issue OF
foreign policy hinge upon mere mer-
camille calculations OF profit and loss.
Finally. the civilized nations of the
world ought to ind some way TO place
squarely upon the capitalist the re-
sponsibiIity for an investment In semi
civilized regions. The destruction of
life Is, of course, question entirely
apart; but there should henteforth be
no indsmnities for the destruction of
property. Whoever buys a coffee plan
tation in Guatemala. buys at his own
risk. II Guatemala is subject 10 earth

4 Mere Mans Opinions.


II a woman's vocabulary is limited
she works it overtime
Prosperity has its th0rns, and adj
versity likewise has its roses.
Poverty may pinch an honest man
but 1t never lands him in Jail
If you fuss about the weather it may
be g sign that you are getting old.
If religion was good for the COM
plexIon men would seldom get their
share of beauty
A woman raves over q matinee idol
that she wouldn't live with for 10 min
utes if they were married.
If a man is unable to boast Of what
his ancestors accomplished, it's up to
him to do something worth while on
his own account.
The things women do because they
have no reason for doing them usually
turn out better than the things men
do because they have several reasons.

And lived in a cellar damp.

But I had Aladdin's lamp;
When I could not sleep for the cold

And builded, with roofs of gold,
My beautiful castles in Spain!
Since then 7 have toiled day and night
I have money and power good store,
But I'd give all my lamps Of silver

You gave. and may snatch again;
