Ties with whom we have no quarrel. We
must exert our sea power in its most eff

cutting off the supplies of our enemies.
It is but fair to the neutrals to own that
they fully recognize the justice and the
question the principle which dictates our
naval operations. All that any of them
has protested against is it's practical APP

to injure them, but they say thai In
some ~in.eances we have done them in

We cannot regard objections taken to
our acts upon such grounds as unfriend-

sellers can suggest any methods for re-

are equally anxious to meet us, we do
not despair of the discovery OF some de-
vice which may materially alleviate their
position without advantage to the enemy.
They cannot reasonably hope to sail the
seas when the greatest of maritime pow

struggle for all that she holds dear with
the same freedom as in time Of peace.
For the loss. the privation and the pos
sible suffering, which the interruption OF
normal trade conditions must OCCASION,
the blame falls upon the authors Of the
war. These things are amongst the nat

their crime. We are as innocent of them
as are the neutrals whom they afflict,
and we believe that in their hearts the
neutrals, recognize this truth. 1t is per

the position In regard to neutral trade
which international law and the exigen-
cieS Of the situation would have entitled
us to adopt. Had we done so. we could
have modified its more rigorous features
as opportunity. permitted, and the modi-
f1cations would have been welcomed as
SO many graceful concessions to neu-

more hardly upon neutral trade than
seemed absolutely necessary for the mo-
lnent. We adopted another course. We
began by imposing n minimum OF re-
strictions upon them. but experience soon
showed that these were altogether made
quate, and we have been compelled by
its teaching to increase them by fresh
provisions; The result has been to lend
color to the impression that our attitude
toward neutrals was growing more harsh.
We have every confidence thai the Mafmo
meeting will help to dissipate this de-
fusion in any circles of the Scandinavian
! peoples which may have shared it.

is World Peace possjb7e?'
A Group of Famous Americans Say Eyes" and Tie


Seventeen prominent American citi
zens reply in the affirmative to the
question: rs world federation practic-
able?" ~propounded by the new
magazine, World Outlook.
The writer's are practically unan
imous on three points:
First, that world federation Is not
only practicable, but inevitable.
Second, that a federation of the more
advanced powers, including the Uni
ted States and the nations of Europe,
will probably precede complete world
federation.
Third, that America has the best OPP
portunity to lead and should now as
sumo the leadership in the task of
bringing about federation among ma
tions.
Some of the distinctive statements
made in the symposium are:
hat the first n greatest contribu-
ton of America toWard any agreement
among nations is to remain strictly i'm
partial during The present war. CMel-

That today, when American mill

OF persons immortalized by Bagehot as

whole persons" They bathed and did a
GIT OF business. and did a bit of tennis and

Motor Trucks Food Armies.
w. Hutchinson, jr., In the Engin-
eering Magazine.

ftQlln w. HUTCHINSON, Jr., III the Eng1n-
eering Magazine.
Without motor trucks the immense
armies. now measured in millions instead
OF thousands, would be difficult indeed to
provision, as the battle lines have extend
ed from 100 to $50 miles front, and have
shifted so rapidly In position that If de-
p%endence were just on army mules sup
plying them with food. movements would
be SLOW. the fighting efficiency of the men
greatly impaired. and the Strengthening OF
the vast herds Of cattle now necessary to
victual the vast hosts would make SANTA
ton impossible, leading to malignant dis
ease and pesttlence.
Again, space where such prodigious
numbers are now employed Is valuable.
A motor transport train occupies only
one-thlrd of the space of the animal
drawn wagon. and being positioned much
farther behind the army causes less con-
gestion bet-esn the main army and its
base. Moreover, half of the load carried
by animal-drawn army transports Is a
'non-paylng'' load, as 1t Is food for the
motive power-the mules; the efficiency is
very low and the speed but a third that
of motor transports.
