The Germans think it perfectly proper that
they should be enabled to get the munitions
of war from anywhere they can but they have
filed protest with Uncle Sam against the
Allies being given the same privilege, especl-
ally in the line Of American built submarines.

The death of Frank James, the famous

was director Of the Hamburg American
Line"
The fact that Secretary McAdoo had re-
fused to state just what were the Administra-
tions intentions, after it had been publicly
charged by the Republicans that it was to buy
the German vessels, naturally makes us suspi-
cious.
The brother of one of the Hamburg Ameri-
can Lane officers being On 3Ir. McAdoo's
Federal Reserve Board doesn't look good,
when it is virtually admitted that McAdoo
will be boss of the Shipping Board, and chat
he intends to buy German ships.
Like lightning out of clear sky, came The
announcement in the daily papers Of Feb. ?
that the Shipping bill had been recommitted
by the aid OF nine Democratic Senator's. and
that the recommitting may mean the bills
ultimate defeat.
Why this change Of front on the part Of
the Democrats?
Was it because Of the charges hurled at The
bill by the Republicans?
Was it owing to the fact that Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice had protested to Mr.. Bryan
against the purchase of belliceront ships, as
the Republican Senators charged-was it be-
cause of the Lodge insinuation about Mr..
Warburg?
Seven of these nine Senators had been
fighting for the bill all the way through-they
had helped kill the Lodge amendment proyid-
ing that no ships should be purchased from
any Of the beligerent nations they had stuck
to the bill all through the thirtv-seyen, hour
debate of Friday and Friday night, enduring
the discomforts of an all-night session in their
effort to exhaust the Republican filibuster,
So why this sudden change Of front on the
part Of these Senators when the bill was taken
up the following Monday?
The true answer will make interesting read
ing.
