No Formal Protest.

DR.. Bernhard Dernburg, the special
unofficial German representative II
the United States, in q speech in
Philadelphia Saturday declared that
Germany has never protested against
the export OF war munitions from
this country 10 the allies. but had
merely complained Of the incquity #
such exports while American food
stuffs were not permitted % reach
Germany 1t is strictly true that no
official statement has come from Ger
many denouncing the export Of war
munitions 10 the allies. but Ambassa-
dor Won Bernstorff's note OF early
April TO the State Department came
very close TO being such protest.
Read once again, in conjunction with
Dr.. Dcrnburg's speech. il IS plainly a
careful avoidance 81 actual denial Of
the right OF American nunition
makers 10 ship war materials, while
embracing a virtual accusation Of
unneutr atty on the part Of this gov
eminent IN permitting such traffic.
DR.. Dernburg's specific denial would
seem 20 make even more justified
than before the formal rcbuke adj
ministcred by this government to the
ambassador for his unwarranted a.
pensions upon its good faith com
prised in his memorandum.

Behind the Scenes.
From the New York Evening Post

The political drama-it is hard to think
Of it as a legal trial-which has been
playing for two weeks at Syracuse. has
made a various appeal The sort of
material which the historian usually has
to wait for fifty years before 1t becomes
available. has been shot at us as CO.
temporaries of the chief actors, still liv-
ing Letters. diaries, private converse
tions-here they are produced. not out
of musty archives of the past, but still
fresh and coming down almost to date
In this fact has lain for impartial stu
dents of our political history the main
attraction of the proceedings at Syracuse.
They beat the ordinary reading about the
period hollow,

Who will Solve It?
By JAMES C.. KELLY

Americans have been treating the liquor question in the same
way that the gentleman treated his watch when he sent it to a
blacksmith instead of a watch-make for repairs. In other
words, we have been leaving a deep and important problem to
an organization of individuals who know little or nothing
about it.
Take the socalled saloon problem for example. We have
been content TO let the prohibitonStw reStle with that and he
has been wrestling with it for almost a century, and yet we all
know that few prohibhionists have ever been inside a saloon.
How is a man who never saw a saloon except from the outside
going to solve the saloon problem?
Now am quite aware that these same prohibition gentlemen
will endeavor to put over a lot of comedy about the FOREGOING
assertions. Go to it, gentlemen. l am not addressing the class
TO which your stuff appeals.
When want information about the liquor problem or the
saloon problem, | 60 to the liquor business and the saloon as
we'll as to those on the other side who would destroy the liquor
trade. That is just common justice and common sense. TheV
brewer and the retail liquor dealer may have some valuable
suggestions also, for a big majority of those engaged directly in
the trade are very familiar with those mistakes which have
harmed their business and which have at the same time created
some nice3a jobs for the dry" agitators.
AS to the value of suggestions coming from the liquor men,
they are just as likely to be free from prejudice as those from
the rabid prohibitionist. And when it comes to sincerity, the
public will be as likely to look to the liquor industry, which
knows that its salvation depends upon a satisfactory solution of
the liquor problem. as it will to depend upon those oratorical
gentlemen who know that when the liquor problem is solved.
they will lose their jobs.
Like most other questions. the liquor problem has two sides.
1t is not going to be settled until the people hear all the evil
'dence.-Adv.r

BRITISH MAKE
FOOD CONTRABAND
NOTIFY l.. $. THAT ALL SHIP
MENTS TO GERMANY WILL.
BE SIEZED.

Washington, ID. C.--Ambassador
partment yesterday that the British
fleet had been ordered to treat car
goes of grain and -four destined for
Germany or Austria as conditional
contraband, subject to seizure and
confiscation. This step, the ambassa-
dor explained, followed the announce
ment that the German government
had decreed confiscation CT all grain
and -four to conserve the nations
food supply.
Since the publication of the Ger
man order. the German ambassador
here Count Won Bernstorff, personal
ly has assured the American govern
ment that no foodstuffs imported
from the United States or other neu
trail countries would be subject to
seizure and press dispatches have an
nounced the issuance of a modifying
decree. making such exemptions by
the German government.
To Except Wilhelminia.
Ambassador Page said the British
government had informed him that
because the steamship Wilhelmina,
now bound from New York to Ham
burg with grain and other food, had
sailed before the issuance of the Ger
man decree an exception would be
made in her case.
The vessel would be seized, 1t was
said but she would be released and
the cargo purchased at invoice price
by the government. Warning was
given. however, that other shipments
| ol.c ~ lnc
tined for Germany, directly or indi-
rectly would be seized as we'll as the
vessel carrying them, without COM
pensation being paid.
The announcement put an entirely
new complexion on the negotiations
that have been in progress intermit-
tently since the beginning of the war
in regard to the right of neutral
states to ship food supplies to bel
ligerent countries.
Case of Dacia.
| In the British note to Secretary
Bryan regarding the Dacia, it was
stated that the conclusion had not
been reached to Interfere with such
shipments, providing they were for
the noncombatant element Of the
lnoncombatant element of the p0pula-
ton and not for the army of belli-
lgerent state with which England was
at war. 1t is intimated then, however.
that the exceptional conditions of the
present war might ht-warrant some such
action as an act of retaliation.
