When the Irish Went By.

By James Douglas i'm the London News
Just as an Irish rugby team is utterly
different in Its temper from an English.
Welsh or Scottish rugby team. so is an
Irish regiment utterly different from an
English, Welsh or Scottish regiment. I
do not say that its temper is finer. J say
it is different. At Lord Roberts funeral
[ stood ON the Thames e~mbankment be-
side an English war correspondent. AS
the soldiers went by in the rain we tried
to identify the various regiments. One
very smart regimen puzzled us. Sud-
denly we fixed our eyes on Il great, strap
ping soldier with Il roguish eye and a
devil-may-carc CLINT in it. His khiki cap
was cooked rakishly over one eyebrow.

correspondent. You can't mistake that

Protests to Germany and Great Britain.


President, Wilson'S protest against the
German governments war zone procla-
niation is strong and emphatic, but 1t is
neither stronger nor more emphatic than
the case requires.
The president renders high service to
Germany as well as to the United States
when he warns Berlin that if commanders
of German warships should destroy Amer
lean ships or American lives on the high
seas, the government of the United
states would be constrained to hold the
imperial German government to Il strict
accountabilty for such acts of their naval
authorities, and to take any steps 1t might
be necessary to take to Safeguard Ameri-
can lives and property and TO secure to
American citizens the fun enjoyment OF
their acknowledged rights on The high
seas
This Is almost the language of an ulti-
matum, but it is the language of ultima
tum designed to maintain peace between
the United States and Germany and to
and Germany.
No neutral government capable of pro-
testing Its right could ever accept the
doctrine of maritime lynch law which
Germany asserted in its war zone proc
iamatlon. When the president warns Ger
many of the serious consequences OF such
a policy. he is PERFORMING an act of friend
ship which Berlin, If it is wise, will con-
strue as an act of friendship.
There is no jingoism in the presidents
note. There is no buster. 1T is a firm.
temperate, courageous statement of what
Is In the minds and hearts of the Ameri-
can people. and If Germany accepts it in
that spirit. nothing is likely to occur to
disturb the amicable relations which have
so long existed between the two govern
ments.
The presidents notes to the British gov
eminent protesting against the use of the
American flag on British merchant ships
is a corollary of the German note. Here
again the president is the voice of Ameri-
can sentiment. 1T is one thing for a bell
liiserent merchant ship to run up a neutral
mag to avoid capture or destruction. 1t is
quite another thing for u belligerent gov
ernment to give an explicit sanction to it's
merchant ships to use Il particular neutral
Nag in certain parts of the high seas. And
as the president says such a policy would,
If the declaration of the German admiral
ty We're put i'm force. afford no protec-
ton to British while IT would he a serious
and constant menace to the lives and ves-
sells of American citizens
The doctrines which the president has
defined IN these two notes are sound In in
ternational law. sound in justice and
sound in morals. The notes are a true ex-
preston of honest neutrality, without fear
and without reproach. There will be no
misunderstanding at home as to their
meaning. There should be no misunder-
Standin anywhere.

Against ''Peace at Any

WASHINGTON. June l~9.-Samuel Com
ton Of Labor, Is opposed to the prin-
ciple Of peace at any price In a
statement of his views on the subject
to-day he declared there were things
more abhorrcnt than wal and that war
ls justified under certain circumstances.
Significance Is attached TO Mr.. Com
pers's declaration in view of the effor.
OF Representative Buchanan of Illinois
and other labor leaders to further a
movement to prevent war except In case
Of invasion. Apparently MIR. Gompers
has no sympathy with this movement.
MFR. Compress statement is accepted as
a slap at the peace propaganda OF
William J. Bryan and al Endorsement
OF the attitude taken by President Will
son In his negotiations with Germany.
Mr.. Gompers's observations relative
to war are embodied in n letter for
warded to New York. In which he de-
clined TO take part in the peace meet
Ing there tonight at which Mr.. Bryan
was the principal attraction. The let
ter was addressed to Ernest Bohm. sec
rotary OF the Central Federated Union.
