SEATTLE GERMAN CONSUL ARRESTED

SEATTLE, March 17-Willam Muller, German con- sul at Seattle and his secretary have been arrested and charged with conspiracy to attempt to brlbe the em- poyees of the Seattle Construction and Dry Dock Comp any in order to get information that the company was building submarines which were being sent in sections to British Columbia for shipment to Great Britain The action of the authorities has already caused sensation throughout the country and the German embassy at Washington will probably make strong protest It IS be-
 eved in some quarters that the authorities jumped too hastily whether the consul is guilty not as the arrest might cause serious complications between this nation and Germany

No Boycott.

The suggestion contained in many letters re-
Gently received by The Tribune that the places
of business of tradespeople who have German
names be boycotted seems to this newspaper un-
reasonable and unfair.
1t is easy to understand the present resent
ment of the American people Their anger, their
wrath at the action of the German government,
is both natural and wholly justified but to vent
this wrath upon American citizens of German ex-
traction is not only thoughtless but calculated to
do exactly the thing Americans most desire to
avoid doing, namely, to keep alive extra-American
distinctions.
A very large portion of the German-American
population in the United States can trace its
Americanism through several generations, goes
back to the noble German days Of Is48 and shares
in the splendid American period from 1861 to
1866 blind, indiscriminate attack upon those
bearing German names would be an unworthy
return for what many German-Americans have
done for this nation.
1t is still fair to assume that all citizens Of this
country are loyal patriotic in fact Americans.
The exception may be dealt with as his individual
case may seem TO demand but we should avoid
trying to accomplish what the Dernbufgs have
endeavored unsuceessfully to do that IS to build
up German-American class in our own popula-
ton.

England Stands by Kitchener.

At the outbreak of the war Lord Kitchener an
nounced calmly that it would require three years
at the least for the allies to win it. and England
undismayed set about the task with characteristic
deliberation. And later, winter set in and
Kitchener was asked when the war would end, he
answered.: 81 don't know when it will end but
it will begin next May" There is yet week left
of May, but recently there has been criticism of
kitchener's conduct of the war; not widespread or
sufficiently pronounced to suggest his loss of the
confidence of the British people. 1t was merely
a manifestation Of natural impotence at the
slow progress of a struggle whose cost to the
nation in lives and money was staggering. There
were such expressions of disapproval as were
voiced against our own leaders during the war
with Spain.
1t remained for the newspapers controlled by
Lord Northcliffe to direct violent attack against
Kitchener and thus to solidify British sentiment on
the side of the secretary and to inspire dem
onstrations of loyalty and confidence throughout
England, bonhres being made of the Northcliffe
newspapers on the floors of the London Stock Ex-
change. The conviction appears to be unanimous
that the Northciffc attacks not sincere, but
rather vindictve, because of the rigdity of the
press censorship which Kitchener insisted upon
In the masses of criticism against the hero of
charge-that he had furnished the army with the
wrong kind of shes-and even that was not we'll
supported. So the British people are with Kitch-
ener. Their sentiment expressed in such
placards as these in the stock exchange: (Which
would you rather put your money on, Kitchener or
Northclife?" "The Germans ally, the Daily
Mail"
The new coalition cabinet, it is announced has
already been formed and Kitchener will doubtless
remain secretary. Lord Northcliffe will
pay dearly for his bad judgment or vndictiveness,
it was, for British resentment once
aroused does not cool quickly.
The German press processes to see nothing in
dicating vital bearing on the war itself in the
British cabinet change and the Kitchener affair,
and if it is expressing its actual belief it has prob
ably judged correctly. But Lord Northcliffe has
given comfort to his country's enemies and his
patriotism is in need OF rejuvenation.
