Great Britain's Crisis,

British workingmen have not
shown very high standard of pa
triotism since the great war began.
From the outset they have adopted
an attitude of selhshness that has
contrasted strikingly with the CO.
operative efficiency OF the Germans.
In policy opposed to the war. they
have sought to make the most out of
it by demanding high wages, on the
ground that manufacturers of NUM-
tions and supplies for the field forces
were prohting from their contracts.
Constant friction has resulted, and
the government has been handicap
ped in keeping the army's stock of
ammunition up to mark.
The recent reorganization. it is un-
derstood, was effected in order to af-
ford ministerial basis for drastic
governmental measures to increase
the output of the factories. At yes
terday's session OF the house OF COM
mons labor representatives uttered
warnings that if the new munitions
minister provided for by the pending
bill, who will be David Lloyd George,
attempts to coerce the workingmen
there will be revolt at home that
will be reflected by disaffection in the
trenches. This spirit makes a sorry
showing for England before the
world.
The nation is hghtiag for its life,
and the spectacle of the men who
elect to remain at home and, in the
security OF the factories, attempt to
dictate terms to the government re-
garding wages, hours and privileges
while their countrymen are suffering
in the field for lack of the munitions
they are supposed to supply, is
shameful. England is now at crisis.
and these next few days will demon
strate whether the government is
strong enough to combat the social
istic individualism that has been bred
in the kingdom during the past few
years

delighted, and esteemed it a great
triumph Such. of course, was his
own feeling. But he said very little

servations from him were turned
down. He permitted the verdict to

Silent is he also about the steel

shared in that to the extent of the

the matter of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company. He had been ham
rnered about that for years. All sorts
of motives had been attributed to him.
But he holds his tongue now when
there is strong temptation to turn on
his assailants and quote court de-
cree. He shows disposition to let
that also speak for itself.

the United States because its people
sell any and all OF their products to
customers who come to their mar
kets with the price, that nation has
the right to prevent, if it can, the
delivery of purchased munitions OF
war to the enemy.
Great Britain through control of
the surface of the ocean prevents de-
livery of munitions of war to Ger
many. Through apparent control of
the underseas by submarines Ger
many would prevent, as far as it can,
the delivery of munitions to Great
Britain.
This is Germany's right and Great
Britain's also. But in exercising these
rights both belligerents should avoid
violating the rights of neutrals under
international law.
Americans on American ships, even
blockade-runners, must not be put
to death. unless they violate the re-
quirements of international law upon
which their guarantees Of safety are
conditioned After reparation by Ger
many for the Lusitania homicides,
such arrangements should be made
between the United States. Germany
and Great Britain that no Ameri-
can lives will be destroyed on
belligercnt'S unarmed merchant
ship, and to this end by cooperation
between the three nations the sail
ing of such passengers on any bel
ligerent ship carrying munitions OF
war should be effectively prohibited.
We should refuse clearance from our
ports to belligerent merchant ship
which carries both American passen-
gers and munitions of war. Great
Britain should agree to refuse to
carry passengers on her ships laden
with such munitions. Germany should
guarantee against submarine torpe-
doing belligerent unarmed merchant
ships carrying no munitions of war.
Belligerent ships carrying munitions
OF war should be armed or conveyed,
should carry no -combatants,.
and should take their chances with
the submarines.

Abandon Unlawful Reprisals

In whatever way the opportunity
is offered Great Britain ought quickly
and sincerely to cooperate with
Germany IN abandonment of the pol
icy of reprisals which violate the
rights OF neutrals Both nations ought
to be glad to put stop to rivalry in
starving or killing by violence each
others women and children and in
spreading explosive mines through
the high seas. 70 kill whomsoever
they chance 10 strike. whether neu-
trails. the enemy or themselves.
The neutral nations demand respect
for their rights from both belliger-
ents. The demand upon Germany is
the more pointed and vehement be-
cause Germany in its methods of vio-
lating neutral rights has been homi-
cidal shedding the lifc-blood of un-
offending and helpless neutrals. But
Great Britain is under the same OBJ
though its violations OF these rights
may not up TO this time have in
volved the killing of neutrals, un-
less through British mines in the
high seas.
II Germany and Great Britain
should simultaneously abandon the
futile and barbarous attempts TO
starve each others non-combatants
there would remain the question of
blockades and submarine campaign
ing against the importation of NUM-
tions of war
On the assumption that American
bullets and American powder, bought
and used by the allies. have killed
German soldiers. unofficial Germany
has suggested that there rests upon
America a moral accountability for
German deaths Does Germany con-
fess that it is the murderer of all in
the worlds wars of the past who
have been slain by krupp products,

There is no denying the fact that
America is widely and advantageous
" advertised today. As world

better than ever before. and are be-
ing sought for service such as only a

subject. and pointing out rare oppor-
tunities for the employment OF Amer
lean capital Bankers are invited to
establish there branches OF their
home establishments. Manufacturers
and jobbers are asked to show their
goods. and are promised business on
good terms
Chinese business men-some thor
oughly deserving the praise that goes
to captains OF industry-are at pres
ent visiting US and soliciting the at
tention OF American capital to their
field. They are at pains TO describe
how rich in possibilities the field IS.
But we already knew how rich. We
have had our eyes on China as a
choice outlet for our expanding pro-
duction for years John Hay put
some of his best craftsmanship into
the open-door policy: and much de-
pends on keeping the door open. The
open door. and the passing through
il OF American bankers, Ameri-
can manufacturers. and American
merchants will mean much both to
China and ourselves China is quite
as desIrous as we are that the door
be kept open, and will assist US to
that end
Take their recognition OF us in an
other form. Belgium in her great
need turned to US for succor, and
has received it on an unparalleled
scale. Though in no measure respon-
sible for Belgian distresses. we have
done more toward relieving them
than all the other nations combined.
Not only have We fed the starving
and clothed the naked, but the whole
outlay has been supervised by Amer
leans dispatched to the scene for the
express purpose.
And Poland, advised of our re-
sources and liberality. and. as some
declare, in as much distress as Bel
gium, has turned to US for help. Mex

door neighbor we shall do all we can
for the relief of her people, stripped
as they have been by internecine
strife OF the means of subsistence.
We can reach them without great
difficulty, and can spare enough for
their needs
This is being world power in the
highest meaning OF the term. All
know OF our resources. and all appeal
to US with confidence at a time of
big opportunities to be improved and
pressing relief to be supplied.

men and newspapers are discussing.
but not word is coming from him
about any of them. The most adroit
and persuasive press interviewer asks
in vain for line-just line. No
body home.
Until now, Mr.. Roosevelt has been
very accommodating When other
interesting sources failed, he rarely

An article beginning. In an inter
view today Mr. Roosevelt said

But there are times for silence for

and in his case Mr.. Roosevelt has
probably chosen wisely. This is such
time for him. Topics are abundant,
but most of them dangerous for pub
lie men not charged with official re-
sponsibiity For them, close obser-
walton and deep reflection are the

He was shocked beyond expression
at the faults that he could find,
But willin' to be shocked some more.

He drew comparisons 'twixt folks
that didn't get along,
An those who like himself seemed
rather confident an strong.
He felt a bit superior an the feelm
kind o grew
That he hadn't no bad habits-least-
ways only one or two.
Yet his schemes fur reformation on
strictly wholesale plan,
They didn't seem of value to his SUI
term fellOW-man.
He sometimes gave expression to
opinions almost rude
To what he would refer to as "the
worlds ingratitude."
He took the failure to accept his good
advice to heart.
The folks admitted that his talk was
mighty fine an smart.
He didn't understand the ways OF
honest, kindly care.
Great wisdom amt uncommon, but
true sympathy is rare.
He stopped an thought it over an his
pulse beat fast an warm
As he said, Il wouldn't wonder if it's
me that needs reform!
