MIR. Balfour's Sensible Admission

LINGLISHMEN of all political parties are
II supporting their Government in this
crisis, the statement given out by the
Rt. Hon. Arthur ]. Balfour. defending the
order in council, is remarkable not for the
fact that 1t comes from a former Conserva-
tive Premier, but because it seeks to justify
a disregard of the letter of international law
by an appeal to the necessities of the case
He admits that, technically, the British have
disregarded the rules of the law of nations
in ordering the blockade that is not block
ade. But he maintains that the circum-
stances are such that it was necessary to
trample on old precedents and to make new
ones.
The distinguished British statesman is un-
doubtedly right. The conditions under which
this war is being fought are unprecedented.
Both groups of belligerents have been doing
unprecedented things. The Germans have
denounced the Allies for their disregard of
the old customs, and the Allies have even
more bitterly denounced the Germans for
their adoption of such methods as seemed to
them necessary under the new circumstances
The fact OF the matter is as has been said in
this place many times since the war began
that necessity makes its own laws and that
new international law must be made to fit
the conditions of warfare with airships and
submarines and to regulate the rights Of neu-
trails on the sea when a continent Is in arms

The Ships Must Come Back Home

THE one regret of those who saw the
i steamship Northern Pacific sail from this
port was that she is not expected to re-
turn here She * now steamng to the Pacific
Ocean by way of the Panama Canal and will
run between Portland Oregon, and San Fran
cisco, splendid example of the kind of ves-
sells that can be built on the Delaware.
The Deaware-bult ships ought to come
back to their native waters No one has any
desire to restrict the scope of the business of
the great shipyards here, but every alert and
progressive Philadelphian would like to see
the port developed to such an extent that
harbor room could be found here in the course
of the year for every vessel launched in our
shipyards. Philadelphia ought to be the
terminus, or at least port of call, for every
merchant ship built here.
OF course this cannot be, for coastwise
steamers are needed on the Pacific. Yet
there ought to be a spirit in this old town
which would put into every sheet of steel and
every plank and every rivet that goes into
vessel a homing instinct which would bring
the ship back here at least once on every
voyage that it makes The time may not be
ripe for it yet but the day will come when
Philadelphia will be so instinct with life that
it can put a soul even into an inanimate
ship and make it show allegiance to the place
of its creation

There Is No Embargo on Ideas

TT WOULD be easy to fall into the error of
L assuming that Great Britain has returned
to Professor T. II. Morgan, formerly Of Bryn
Mawr College, what purports to be an essay
on "Heredty" for a German periodical be-
cause they have decided to prevent the i'm
portation of foreign ideas into Germany as
well as the importation of food and muni-
tions of war. The essay was on board Ger
man ship seized by the British and sent to
prize court. No part of the cargo was for
warded to Germany not even this apparently
harmless essay.
The real reason for its return to America
Will doubtless be found in the conclusion of
the British censors that it is a cipher doc
ument disclosing to the Germans much secret
information. As Professor Morgan is an eX-
perimental zoologist it would be perfectly
easy for him to use the terms of his profess
sion in describing the British and in reveal
ing such secrets of British strength as he
might be possessed of. The fact that he
married his wife in Germantown is sufficient
proof that he is a German sympathizer and,
II that is not enough to convince the skep-
tical, his book on the development of the
frogs egg is nothing but gibe at the
Frenchmen in the favorite terms of the Brit
lsh of the last generation. No, there is no
British embargo on ideas, but very proper
embargo on all documents which might be
of value to the Germans.

A National Fourth

1HE national celebration of the Fourth OF
July, in Philadelphia, in Independence
Square. was begun as an institution last
year. when the President journeyed to the
shrine Of our liberties, to drink afresh its in
spiration and feast once more from its In
exhaustible sources of patriotism
Let state and city unite in urging him to
come again this year. Let both be liberal
in appropriating for the necessary expenses
Of the undertaking. Governors, Senators,
Representatives, leaders in all forms and
phases of Amercanism should be called on
to join in the commemorative services. And
from every church in all the nation should
arise at the same hour prayer for peace,
led by the President here.
Philadelphia cannot be neglecful of her
historic assets The nation expects her again
to do her duty, again as generous host to
assemble her guests together and once more
to lead the way and point the course. There
is tension in the world that renders this
spiritual celebration necessary. There must
be no tagging behind no hesitation. no draw
ing back
Once the Fourth saw the nation born and
once it saw it saved. Let the Fourth this
year be laureled yet again by the unprece-
dented spectacle of a hundred millions Of
people bespeaking mercy for their desolate
in foreign lands. while at the same
time they accord their solemn testimonial
Of thanks to the Creator for the peace and
quiet which they themselves enjoy.

Where viii German Generosity Stop?

CERMANY has been making free with the
VI territory of Austria and Turkey in an
effort to strengthen her position She has
offered to give to Bulgaria all that part OF
Turkey which the Bulgarians won in the
Balkan War provided Bulgaria will keep out
of the present fight, and a few days ago she
offered to Italy big slice of Austria on the
same conditions.
She has not yet offered to give a slice of
German territory to any of the warning ma
tons But Austria and Turkey may be eN-
pected to suggest that while Germany is in
the business of partitioning Europe at the
expense of her friends. she should begin to
think of buying peace at the price of some OF
her own territory. 1t is possible that the
suggestion has been made and that Germany
is getting ready to surrender Alsace and Lor-
raine to France and to return Belgium to the
Begians There are rumors that the war is
to end in 80 days, rumors that are at present
Incredible; but if Germany should seriously
consider taking the medicine which she has
been prescribing for her friends. no one can
tell what desirable result might follow.
