PONDEROUS PERSONAGES-MA
 CHIAVELLi
By George Fitch

Machiavelli was a much misjudged Italian who would smile contently for the first time in 300 years if he could get look at the remains of interna- tional law just now.
 He was born in Florence in 1869 and, after obtaining fair education, went into politics at the age of twenty -four and got a city appointment. Politics in Italy at that time was as risky an occupation as aeroplaning. The man who played the game only stayed up little while and usually got killed com ing down. Notwithstanding this fact politics in Florence for forty three years before he was banished. While his fame is not based on this fact it constituted a worlds record up to that time and should not be overlooked.
 Machiavelli had the job of organiZ- ing the Florentine militia. While doing this he studied statecraft Florentine statecraft included a conscientious use of murder, arson and prevarication in it's various branches and the statesman who could not drop a package of rat poison into the wine of a bumptious minority leader was a pale failure.
 Machiavell dodged trouble for long time, but it came plentifully at last. He was tortured by the Medicis and fired from Florence with loud report This did not offend him. because it was all in the name of statesmanship. But it took him twelve years to get up enough nerve to go back into politics. Tn the meantime he wrote plays, poems, essays and a number of books on Ital- ian politics. One of these was The Prince" It was a slim volume full of such shocking recipes for building kingdom that "Machiavelli' has be- come an adjective used to describe any thing slightly worse than develish.
 This was a great injustice to Ma chiavelli for he was a kind man who did not believe in Greek fire or poison ous gases. In fact he would be a little too soft hearted to be of much use in modern war.
 Machiavellis theory was that the state was too big and important to conform to petty rules of humanity or morality or honesty. which were only invented for common people. It has taken three hundred years for the world to understand this theory. but it seems to be absorbing it rapidly now and we may expect to see a good many statues of this great man erected in :he next few years.

A Happy Solution

We are out of the woods There is why We should trouble with Germany. The suggestion from Berlin Tuesday offers a sou 1on of the differences between this country and Germany methods of submarine warfare It may hardly be called a permanent solution. rather a recurrent solution be applied whenever the problem renews-itself: that is whenever merchant vessel with Americans aboard is sunk by German submarine The thing this solution is need interfere with Germanys subma- arrangement. It only keeps in a satisfied state of mind. And Ii a there is ger war; of diplomatic break It nlained efficient friends. the Germans discover the solution. Let hear more de- tracting "Kutur"
 The Germans have heard from the subma- rine which sunk the Arabic and along with it Americans what still distractipg, some slsoo00oo gold beside lot of securities all to be paying munitions and keep up the of English exchange The Germans have had report from the submarine commander who committed this crime They fear he is lost; that his submarine has been sunk, and that, there fore. be brought punishment.
 Other submarine commanders who had been operating that vicinity have reported to their stations. but they had heard of the incident of the Arabic. them. Doubtless they appalled, of life and of gold.
 The identity of the mscreant who struck the Arabic to death will probably never be known. The British. their usual folly have helped to They have permitted it be circulated that they have destroyed or captured forty-seven German submarines. course nobody believes that any than believe the official British statement that the admiralty had the sub marine situation well in hand. when twenty three ships had been sunk in six days-fourteen of them a single day.
 But the British story of destruction cap

It would be unreasonable for 10 ask more this particular commander. Repa- ration will be made for the two American lives lost but possibly. for s1SOOOOOO British gold.
