Views on all sides of timely
 questions; as discussed in ex-s changes that come to Herald
 office. u
Why We Must Ship Arms.
Bridgeport Telegram.)

There is one great and important | reason why this nation should con- 1 tinue to ship arms and ammunition to the belligerents in Europe. This ] reason is we'll understood in Germany l and Austria although it is never ] admitted by the anti-ammunition brl- gade in this country who are shriek- ing for an em mbargo.
 Our right to ship arms and ammu- l n.tlor Is not questioned by anybody. we are asked to stop on higher l moral grounds" and dictates of ex- ped1ency. But there is one dictate to which we must listen, and that IS the dictate of self-preservation. To for te1t our right to ship arms, by plac- Ing an embargo, would likewise for telt our right to receive arms in case CT war between us and some other nation. pr. Constantin Dumba, re-
 called ambassador from Austria un-
 derstood this very thoroughly and
 apparently did not disagree with the
 position. In his report to his own
 government (seized among the Arch
 ibald papers,) he puts the case for the United States very succinctly and clearly. Here is what he says:
 The true ground for the discourag- ing attitude of the president Gin re- fusing an ammunition 'embargo) as his confident, Mr. House, already in formed me in January and now has repated, is the fact that, the au- thorities in serious crisis would have to rely on neutral foreign coun- tries for all their war materials
 At no price, and in no case, will MT. Wilson allow this source to dry up.
 This is simple and direct enough, and it is evident from the way that Dr. Dumba put the report to his gov ernment that he realized the force of the argument and the hopelessness of attempting to contravert it. In fact, he specifically advised his gov ernment that to reopen the question would not only be inadvisable, but distinctly dangerous.
 After Dr. Dumba has thus set forth the case to his own governm ent isn't it time for the unofficial German pro- pagandists in this country to "dry up'' on the subject?

A Step Forward.
(NorWich Record.)

When the MI entered the water at Quincy Mass, the United States made a marked step toward a proper degree
 of preparedness, for this is the larg- est submarines ever launched in this country, and is in every way superior to any owned by Uncle Sam. But of course, it is not the confidence the nation places in this single under-wa- ter boat that lent importance to the event, but the proof that the naval authorities are beginning to develop form of protection for our coasts that has heretofore received altogeth-
 CT too little consideration. While the Mi is not the largest submarine in
 existence and possibly not the best
 yet turned out, it is vast improve ment over any flying the American flag and leads the way for others of a more powerful and better type, sev- eral of which are either building or planned. With 50 or 60 of these ves- sels distributed along the Atlantic coast and an equal number in the Pa cific no nation dare attempt to send troopships here for purposes of in vasion. Without them the case might be entirely different. And because of the remarkable effectiveness of the submarine this. country should lose no the world, ship for ship. Tn the task of strengthening the naval forces of the United States beginning has been made at the proper point But the navy must have ample ships for every purpose of warfare and the sub- marine is but one arm of the service.

PajaTnas.>
(New York Tribune.)

It is only about a quarter-century ago that pajamas became fashionable as night garment in this country. But in that time they seem to have lost their novelty with large num- Der of us, and like woolen suits for street wear in summer, we have &C., cepted them as a necessary evil one of life's crosses to be borne patiently, uncomplainingly, in the name of con- vention. Whether of silk or linen, or even of cotton, they preserve ones modesty equally with ones perspira- tiosl in the opaque night; they cut sharply into ones waist line, and not infrequently the heavy knobs and frogs with which the jacket is ce- mented in front leave scarlet indenta- tions on ones chest of a morning merely to mark we'll the line along which to mark we'll the line along cut one in two. A splendid garme ent for coaling ship! s. d. And that is just the service which the bluejackets of Uncle Sam's navy conceived it best fitted for. One hundred thousands suits of pajamas were provided for these young sav- ages and of these they drew 3O,OOO but not for night clothing. Those who did not coal ship in them used them as underclothes. Though we do not advocate the latter use, it may be worth while to point out that at least it involves no abandonment of ones body to the straightjacket while unconscious.
 But pajamas were meant originally to be concealed neither, with other garments nor with the hospitable shades of night. They were de- signed, in India, for street wear and the East Indians, it is presumed would as soon think of sleeping in them as We would of passing the s night in a boiled shirt and spike tailed coat (this we som etimes do, but under the circumstances which suffi- -,ciently condemn the practice.)
 The old-fashioned nightshirt de- serves a renaissance.

oRDUNA CASE GRAVE.
Attack, If Without Warning,
Will Further Strain Rela-
tions with Germany.

Washington, July 17.-Into
the grave situation that has de.
veloped between the United
States and Germany over the
sinking Of the Lusitania was
thrust another issue today when
it was revealed that the British
steamer Orduna, carrying a
score Of Americans, had been at
tackled by a German submarine.
In official quarters news Of
the attack on the Orduna came
as shock for it had been con-
fidently believed as result Of
the informal expressions Of
Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador, and press dis
patches from Berlin concerning
the care being exercised by
German submarines, that Amer
leans on passenger vessels, at
least, would be safe from at
tack. The incident increased
the general uneasiness which
has been felt since the last Ger
man note failed to give the as
slrances asked for by the Unit
ed States.
No intimation has been given
as yet in official quarters Of
what the next American note
would contain, but it was admit
ted among those in authority
that the communication doubt
less would contain some hint
of the purposes and intentions
OF the United States in case
there was further violation of |
it's rights.
The note probably will be
brief, and, according to well in
formed opinion, will be in the
nature of a warning that sub
sequent violations of the princi-
pies contended for by the Unit,
ed States will be viewed as hos
tile acts, making difficult the
continuance of diplomatic re-
!at!ons.

meath the car, practically wreck
