law and outside oil possible conceptions
of international law.
Creat Britain has merely tried to pre-
vent the delivery by American vessels Oh
cargo destined for Germany, making com
,orsation in most cases for cargo de-
tanned or confiscated. Our action against
Creat Britain must therefore depend on
tho circumstances of each particular case
of restraint of commerce as it arises. Dut
against Germany's policy an absolute ana
unconditional protest was not only possible
but necessary. Both methods of remon-
STRANGE are equally in accord win
American insistence on an impartial op-
servance of neutral rights.
AS to the German argument In behalf
Of an embargo on the export Of war NUM-
tions from the United States, no lntelil-
GENT Diplomat can take it seriously. 1t Is
q plea for indulgence directed to the Ger
American element here, not worth
discussion between governments whose
records on it are absolutely in harmony.
No German statesman can make plea
for the suppression of the sale OF NUM-
tions of war to belligerent by neutral
citizens or subjects without laughing IN
his sleeve. So long as the great hrupp
works at Essen keep open Germany can
never be expected to subscribe, as neu-
trail. to any such self-sacrificing doctrine.

Fake Legislation.

In the form in which II was originally
introduced Senator Millss bill intended
TO put a stop TO fraudulent advertising
methods was a distinct improvement on
the present law. That statute is full
Of loopholes which the bill would have
stopped up pretty effectually. In the
form in which this bill has been passed
it would accomplish little to abate this
vicious practice, Of which reputable bust
ness men properly complain. The word
knowingly" which has made most of
the trouble in the Interpretation and en-
forcement Of the present law, has been
inserted so that the provisions Of the bill
as passed would be worth little, if any
thing. more than the existing statute.
Fake advertising Is q menace to the
consumer and the honest merchant alike.
Fake statutes which ostensibly prohibit
it. but actually do not and cannot be
made to, are no better in their field than
the fake advertisements. For that rea-
son this bin does not deserve the Gov
ernor's signature. If it were placed on
the statute books it would only tend to
prevent the passage in future Of real
measure which can be thoroughly and
genuinely enforced against the fraudu-
lent advertisers. Such a statute is
bound to be passed in Difference to the
demands Of the honest merchants and the
honest advertisers and the consumers Of
the community. Meantime there is no
use in dealing with a dishonest measure.

The Answer to Germany.

In diplomacy it is the polite answer,
correctly phrased which goes furthest in
doing away with irrelevant and acrimoni-
Gus discussion. The politeness of the State
Departments reply to the memorandum
recently delivered to it by Count Won
Bernstorf is incontestable. Whatever re-
buke there is in it to the recklessness of
some of the Counts statements and to the
improperly of some Of his arguments is
yelled to the point Of literary adroitness.
In one respect the reply is too adroit.
The Won Bernstorff memorandum, in the
form in which it was given 10 the public
here, left its origin in doubt. There was
nothing to show whether the Count was
presenting his own views or was com
municating the views of the German gov
eminent. If he was attempting to appeal
to the people of the United States over
the head of the administration, a grave
question of diplomatic irregularity was
raised. On that basis most of the public
discussion of the memorandum has pro-
ceeded. The State Department for reasons
of its own has never cleared up the situa-
ton.
In the reply the question of origin is
still avoided, for the opening paragraph
reads: Il have given thoughtful consid-
GRAFTON to your excellencys note Of April
4, 1915, inclosing a memorandum Of the
same date in which your excellency dis
cusses the action of this government" etc.
If the memorandum came from Berlin
that fact should have been indicated, so
that it would have been plain to every
body from what point of view the sd
ministration was answering the German
Ambassadors argument. The text as it
stands therefore gives too much ground
for Mr.. Herman Riders slur that the
administration was trying to Keep alive the
impression that the German memorandum
was Count Won Bernstorff's personal
output.
In itself the German protest was only a
weak piece of special pleading. The one
point of any consequence which it might
have raised, but didn't, would have been
a general comparison of the American
attitude toward the threats contained in
the German Admiralty's war zone"
proclamation and the American attitude
toward the British Order in Council.
There was some difference, undoubtedly,
and there ought to have been. Germany
did not threaten to hold up our trade in
accordance with existing or novel regula-
tions for the enforcement of a blockade
against Great Britain and Ireland. 1t
went much further than that and intimat-
ed that American vessels might be tor
pedoed and their crews and passengers de-
stroyed, even when they were headed for
unblockaded ports.
That was a course outside international

sions Of the new bill they could squeeze
from seventy-eight TO eighty-four hours
labor out of their workers in "emergen-
cies"; that is, they could contract for the
produce from an acreage far beyond the
usual capacity Of the plants, and then
running the canneries on the emergency
basis, earn fat profits by driving their
women and minor employees to the limit OF
their endurance. Any worker who didn't
like such conditions at ten cents an hour
would always be able to quit-and
starve.
Such a BILL masquerading under the
guise of harmlessness, is an abomina'
ton. No legislator who values the wei
fare Of the youth Of this generation and
the mothers of the next can vote for 1t.

E.lihu.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: We hear a good deal Of speculation
about its pronunciation. No query about
the surname, which means strength, depth
and expansion. As to the baptismal name, if
you go to the Bible or Webster you accent
the second syllable as in Elijah. 1t is Hebrew
and means God the Lord" Every Jew in the
United States would vote for Elhu.
The name of Elihu Burritt, "the Learned
Blacksmith" was accented on the first syl-
liable. However pronounced its owner is the
preliminary nominee of the next Republican
National Convention and sure Of large ma
jority in the Electoral College. HIT.

Worse than Everl

Just how potent the Gamers who de-
sire TO exploit and overwork women and
children are has been proved anew at
Albany by the fact that the Rules Com
mittee has been forced, somehow, to re-
vive the vicious Bewley bill after it was
recommitted by vote of the Assembly.
Recommittal at this stage Of the session
ordinarily kills a bill; in this case the
house was especially warned that a vote
for recommittal would be vote to kill
the bill. Yet this many-lived monster,
mysteriously terminated, is again capa-
bic of mischief.
No mistake should be made about the
scope Of this measure. No matter what
Governor Whitman may have been led
to believe about it, the provisions speak
for themselves 1t gives the Gamers
greater leeway than the former bill,
which the Governor refused to sign.
That bill permitted only seyenty-two
hours work a week for women; this one
removes all restrictions on the total
hours of work a week providing that not
more than twelve consecutive hours Of
work in one calendar day may be re-
quired. Not even the most greedy can
ners want an employee TO work more than
twelve consecutive hours in any one cal
endar day

Our ONLY Line of Defence.

The custom has grown up in this coun-
try. even among military men, of speak
ing and thinking of the navy as our
first line of national defence" the coast
artillery and mobile army forming the
second and third. What are the facts
At the outbreak Of the war the coast ar
tillery would defend, with doubtful ade-
ouacy. our chief cities and harbors from
attack by sea. 1t would afford no pro-
lection whatever against attack by land.
Our regular mobile troops, available
for combat with hostile troops which had
effected a landing and exclusive of those
garrisoned oversee, number between
thirty and forty thousand men. Their
usefulness, in view of the fact that the
landing might take place with at least
treble their numbers at point practically
unforeseeable, may be left to the imagi-
nation.
The militia numbers over one hundred
thousand. but the British territorlals,
who at the beginning of the present war
had the reputation of being slightly more
efficient than our militia is, were sub
iected to three months training before
being put into the firing line. The vol
unteers we're trained for six months and
more. Using such troops, militia or vol
unteers, before they are properly trained
is cold-blooded butchery.
We find then that, rhetoric apart, our
navy would be for three months after a
declaration of war our sole line of ma
tional defence. Under our present mill
tary system, which is based on factors
that are not likely soon to change, we
should have no other line. Between our
coast cities and the enemy stands the
navy, and the navy alone.
This is not temporary condition aris'
ing from the whim of politicians. 1t is the
settled policy Of the country, and, as such,
it throws an enormous responsibility on
one mana responsibility that, since
August /, has grown in the minds of
many Americans to be the weightiest in
the country.
Unfortunately, that one man is the
present Secretary of the Navy.
