Though the absolute damage done
to the allied shipping by German sub
marines has been considerable, and a
natural cause for moral shock in the
world, the relative hurt to British
commerce has been small. OF 10000
sailing in and out of Liverpool since
the submarine war began, only two
voyages in a thousand have met tor
pedoic disaster.
What is true of Liverpool is true,
commensurably, of other British
ports. Germany has thus far failed
in establishing the least semblance of
a blockade on British Shipping. All
Germany has been able to do is to
make a beginning.
This, to be sure, is, somewhat for
midable. OF late, especially, subma-
r1nes of larger type have succeeded in
running down some pretty big ships,
and is doing it pretty often. If the
war would last long enough, Germany
might have fleet sufficient to really
stop British commerce. But such
fleet would also be able to wipe out the
British surface warships, or drive
them into uselessness.
It strikes US that the submarine is
at present much more horribly spec
tacular than effective as D naval arm
for Germany; that the inhumanities of
its present use are inexcusable, con-
stituting useless cruelty, and that Ger
many would be sensible to give up the
game weighing the friendship of the
United States as more worth while
than any advantage she may reason
ably hope to win by continuing the
murderous recourse of something that
at the best is very like piracy, and very
little like manly fight.

Walsh Responsible.
(NorWich Bulletin).

* III ~
Chairman Walsh of the federal in
dustrial relations commission is still
speaking and in his latest address to
a st. Louis audience admits that he
is personally responsible for all crit
sicism that has been directed against
the commission. Such will be agreed
to by all who have followed the work
OF the commission and the course
pursued by the Chairman s.@
In an attempt to justify his action
Mr. Walsh declares that my duty
was to investigate the truth, not
smother it, and, did my duty" That
the duty of the commission of which
ne was chairman was to investigate
the truth cannot be Questioned It
was named to find out the true con-
ditions which. exist relative to indus
trial relations throughout the country
and report thereon but the trouble
with the chairman was that he over
stepped and disregarded his duty.
Mr. Walsh has been possessed with
the idea that a part of his work was
to put forth the results of the inves-
tigation in public addresses before
the work Of the report were completed
and In the hands Of the body which
created the commission. Not only did
he deal with these matters on the
public platform while the hearings
We're still going on but his statements
We're SO distorted and his conduct OF
the hearings such that they called
forth justified protests from wit
nesses who had been misquoted and
by the members of the comission
who We're incensed at his methods
Mr.. Walsh's duty was to make as
possible but nothing has contributed
so much towards making it a tizzle
as the acts of the chairman.

2 Both Houses Of Congress We're
thrown into state of pandemonium
and discord was set up on both sides.

defeated
Five Of the seven democratic sen

ministration's measure and refused 70
listen to White House entreatles -
fall into line were from the Soueh'
the stronghold of Democracy
These senators voiced their dlsap-
nrova1 against the socialistic features
of the bill Their main ooJectioh was
that such a public ownership ana
operation would be a very unwlse
thing. state socialism on larger
scale would exist as the result of SUCH
d. plan, they contended. They ieareo
the idea would permeate the Wnoie
country and would result in pubic
ownership Of utilities.
Probably no fight in any recent Con-
eress eauaIIed the fight over the ship
n,1rchase bill 1t has not been SO
many months ago since the FUR was
fying thick and fast. and still we are
in the same predicament. We have no
merchant marine. We are still at the
mercy of foreign carriers. War is
still going on and the dawn of peace
has not yet appeared over the horizon
The. country is still impatient. When
Congress meets again this question is
going to cause another big fight, but
this time party lines must be forgot
ten and something done for the good
Of the nation. This must be done,
whether in regular or special session

New Britain herald., 1915-07-13

To the American mind it seems
equally Il matter of false pretense
that Germany militarism Is only the
nation IN arms for it's own de-
Tense. Nobody was attacking or pre-
pairing to attack 1T. No other ma
ton except Austria Hungary. which
furnished the pretext, desired the
war or was prepared for it. Not
only was there no menace of war
against her made every effort to avert
II. That is history plainly written IN
this last year and it cannot be obli-
terated. For the fact that Germ ny
had been preparing for the war which
she now calls one of self-defense for
at least a quarter of Il century there
is overwhelming evidence, mostly de-
rived from her own rulers and
writer's. The preparation was avow-
edly for the purpose of extending
the power and the possessions of the
Empire. and could be defensive ony
as the defense of a deliberat poll
icy which was sure to encounter re-
sistance and to be carried to success
only by war for which full prepara-
ton had been made. There is no
misunderstanding by Americans
about Prussian nniitarlism. There
, Is too much well known history back
