Editorial Opinion
TOO MUCH sHILLY-SHlLLY.

From the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
The interminable spools of red tape
winding about the German cruiser
Prinz Eitel are more significant of in
trinity of purpose on the part Of those
authorities than of an intelligent anx-
iety to observe all the requirements
OF neutrality international law has
been stretched to the limit already 70
give safe harborage to ship which
came into our waters fresh from un-
warranted destruction of a peaceful
merchantmen flying the United States
nag. legitimately under American reg
istry and owned by American citizens.
After the commission of such AN act
il savored of insolence that the per-
petrator should seek asylum in Amer
ican waters and strict justice would
have demanded that our government
should have taken possession of the
Prinz Eitel and held her and her Of
ficers and crew in forcible detention
until Germany had made full repara-
tion for wanton trespass on the dig
nifty of this nation and reckless disre-
gard of the property rights of our citi-
zens. The Eitel has been repaired,
provisioned and rc-coaled and accord
ed the full latitude of privilege which
strained construction of law and
precedent would cover. Her comman-
der, who seems indeed TO be as mild a
hammered man as ever scuttled ship,
has been treated as an honored guest.
II is time now. full time, that this pro-
tracted farce should be brought to an
end, this unbidden visitor be required
either 10 relieve us of the embarrass-
ment of his presence or formally ac-
cept internment for the duration of
the war. All the valid conditions of
a longer stay in our waters have been
exhausted unless that stay is TO be
made obligatory until peace shall be
declared II he wishes pending that
declaration the protection in our wa
ters of the flag he has outraged, il
will be given him. n not. let him say
so and sail away beyond our iurisdic-
ton. Unless that alternative be
promptly forced. the United States
will be going beyond the province oI
neutral.

BULGARIA AND THE BALKANS.

Information that comes from the Balkans be true
Bulgaria may cast her fortunes with Germany
and Austria and take an active part in the war
From Nsh serya it is reported that Bulgarian forces
commanded by regular Bulgarian army officers have in
yaded ser'ian territory and made attack That in
dicates that German intrigue has been successful to
certain extent with the Bulgars and that the efforts OF
Great Britain, France and Russia to line them up
against Germany and Austria to keep them neu-
tral have failed although only short time ago they
were so promising.
National enmiy born Of the second Balkan war in
which Bulgaria Jared badly, is largely responsible
for the present attitude Of the Bulgars who hate the
servians with undying hatred That feeling has stood
the German dipomatiss in good stead in their nego-
uation. What the Bulgarians have done probably will
force Roumania and Greece into the conflict on the
side Of Serva and Montenegro. with Great Britain
France, Russia and Italy cooperating with them to
hold the situation in check against both Bulgaria and
Turkey.
Within the last week news came from Europe that
Turkey, fearing attack by Bulgaria was mobilizng
troops the Bulgarian frontier II that mobiliza-
ton not due TO fear but information that Bull
gara about TO declare itself i'm favor of Germany
Austria and Turkey. then the world soon will witness
the remarkable spectacle of Bulgarian and Turkish
troops fighting side by side ground on which in the
near past they have met repeatedly in merciess con-
nict
It is unfortunate for the Allies that following the
great victory of the Balkan League over Turkey Bull
garia treated so shabbily by Greece servia and
Roumania when it to a division OF the spoils
Only for that treatment and the bitterness growing out
Of and the second Balkan war the old Balkan League
might have been reformed and used with good effect
against both Turkey and Austria in the present con-
hict

MiIIiOns of SheIIs for Foreiqn BaHIefeIds
(From The Iron Trade Royiew)

Foundry Co. The Canadian and the
American concerns have different i'm
pressions as TO the design of shell
to be made and until this matter is
settled none of the concerns involved
will begin making the shells. I'm the
meantime, closing on large machine
tool requirements will be held in abey-
ance. incidentally. number of other
concerns who have been figuring on
still other subletting Of this contract
are delayed in making any decisions
in this connection. Among the con-
Germs which now are figuring on shell
or shrapnel contracts are the Spicer
Manufacturing Co., Plaindeld, y. j.;
the Barney & Smith Car Co.. Dayton,
o., and numerous others. The Snead
& Co Iron Works, Jersey City. ~.
j., which last week was reported as
having abandoned negotiations on a
French contract, now is figuring on
an English contract. it is understood.
Charles r. Flint. 25 Broad street, New
York. has hooked a shrapnel contract
and is inquiring for forgings. In addi-
ton to the war demand at home there
continues an active demand for ma
chine tools for export. largely to tho
belligerent European powers, but also
to countries as yet neutral This de-
mand involves large quantities OF en-
gine lathes. turret lathes. vertical
milling machines. cold saws and cutt-
ing-off machines. The export demand
for grinders and automatics now is
not as large as formerly.

THAT BRITISH BLOCKADE.

TN HAT two do not make right seems to
L be the view taken by the Wilson administration
in its protest against the commercial blockade which
Great Britain and her allies put into against
Germany in reply TO the German submarine blockade
against Great Britain.
IF the Of the present enemies OF Great
Britain should prove to be in fact tainted by nlogay
and disregard the principles of sanctioned by
enlightened nations it be supposed and this
government does not for moment suppose that His
Majosty's government would wish the same taint to
attach to their actions" the the Wilson
ministration says
II also asserts that the United States Government
admit either the right the Allies or their
claims for justification in placing embargo
tries The note adds that for this country to admit
II would be TO attitude of unneuraty
