first reply, which caused our Government
to make second demand.
Germany again offers to discontinue her
submarine warfare, provided England will
call off her food blockade, and right there
the matter stands.
England, of course, will never consent to
lift the food blockade, for it is England's
most effective weapon against Germany, and
it is doubtful if our Governmentawould con-
slider for moment making such PROPOSE
ton to the Allies.
England's position would be that food for
the civilian population means food for the
German army-that if she allows food to
go through ostensibly for the purpose Of
feeding the women and children, there can
be no way of guaranteeing that it will not
be given to the army.
Food IS as necessary to the soldier as is
ammunition, and he can not fight for any
length Of time without food, any more-than
he can fight without weapons or ammuni--
ton to use In them: and food allowed to go
into Germany would be disposed Of Just as
Germany is disposing of what she already
has in store-the army fed first and then
the civilians given what is left after the
army has enough.
Any patriotic people will do just as
Germany would do if England did agree
not see their husbands and sons at the front
go hungry while they had all the food they
needed at home-the mothers and wives
would go hungry in order that the hard
ships of the soldiers might be made lighter
4
Another side or the question from the
Allies standpoint is that if they permitted
ships to carry food to Germany, the same
ships would carry war supplies of every
kind that Germany might need-that under
the pretense of taking food to the civilians
of Germany, shipload after shlpload of am
munitions, or the materials with which to
manufacture it, would get through
To this phase of the case some have sug-
gested that this Government guarantee the
cargoes- we inspect the vessels before
leaving our ports and then certify their car
goes.
We could no more do this than we could
follow the suggestion in the German reply
that we inform the German admiralty of
the nature of the cargo of British ships sail
ing from our shores, In order that her sub
marines might not attack those not subject
to attack under the International code.
Such an act on our part would be clear
violation of neutrality and would be the
surest means. of involving us in the war;
Our Government is in the position where
it must insist on the law as it stands-the
right to visit and search a merchant ship
that is unarmed and does not resist cap
ture, and of removing the crew and pas
sengers from the ship before any attempt
is made to sink her.
We cannot afford to even sound the Eng
lish Government on the question of the
blockade until Germany recognizes the
above principle upon which our note was
based, and the matter will have to be set
tied by Germany giving a definite answer
as to her position on the right to visit and
search before the right to sink

Rockefeller Philanthropy Takes
Hold of China.
n the latest issue of our esteemed Baptist
organ-The Index-the following APP
pears:
The Standard Oil Company is transforming the
provinces of Shensi and Shansi, in Western
China, and the hitherto poverty-stricken town
ships bid fair to become populoUs industrial
centers of influence Great crowds of Shantung
families, with coolie-loads of babies and barrow
loads of grannics, and squads of ragged urchins
are plodding their way slowly towards these
provinces. Every effort is being made to acquire
lands which have hitherto been a barren waste
The gathering together of these people will cre-
ate new possibilities in commerce, and in mis-
sionary endeavOr.
Shcnsi and Shansi are not the only prov

Coolie-lodds of babies!

smothered in another Ludlow massacre
Ba1roaozoads Of grannaes!
POSSIBLY Mother Jones was riding IN one
of these barrows, as relief from the loath-
some dungeon into which the Rockefellers
flung her in Colorado.
Somehow, a rich hypocrite and face
grinder is never so hateful as when he uses
religion as cloak for his cupidity, his
laWless greed, and his readiness to murder
men, women, and children in the accumula-
ton of other millions
The brutally frank rapacity of old Com
modore Vanderbilt, who blurted out his
famous blic-be-damned,7' is nothing to
compare IN responsiveness to the cold ferocity
of Bibe-class John d. Rockefeller, Jr, and
the feline deviltry Of his church going
sire
The Index knows what hell Rockefeller
has made in Colorado. The Index must
be familiar with the main facts Of the
Ludlow tragedy.
The reading public followed the evidence
that was taken by the Walsh Committee.
Millions of hearts felt for that italian
woman who told of how her two little chill
dren had been lzilled-t5zzed IN their 0oOn
tent!

his iron principalities?

Gone to the Land of Confucius, to in

Student self-government was tbc spb
Ject up for discussion at the regulaI
meeting of the student body of william,

An amendment to the constitution
providing for student sclf.government
was up for consideration and the
champions of both sides Of the question
argued long and ardently. No classes
were held after chapel on account Of
the CONTINUED session Of the student.

The sentiment, as a whole in regard
to student self.governmont as tbe
amendment would apply it to william.
cite, is unfayorable and had the amend.
ment come to vote it would doubtless
have failed to carry. The objections
to it in the main were that IL was not
comprehensive enough, and that in.
sufficient material advantage would be
gained over the present system to
merit its adoption.
The assembly adjourned to a fixed
date, namely next Tuesday morning.
when further consideration will be
