pisAvoWAL is NECESSARY.

In insisting upon the disavowaI of
the act of the German submarine COM
mander in the sinking of the Arabic
and the taking of American life. it
ought to be realized by Germany that
nothing more is being demanded of
that country by the United States than
ought to be expected. It has repeated
~ disregarded its obligations under
International law; it has not been
guided by the promises which it has
made to this country; it has set up
series of excuses for it's acts which
nre neither satisfactory nor accept
nbIe: It has pursued O course in this
regard which does not convince that
Germany is sincere, and what this
country wants is some conclusive evil
dence that Germany does not back
I'D such acts as have been committed
by its submarines and that can be
given through a disavowal Of them.
III Germany does not approve of
such acts it is high time that it said
30 and in such q. manner as to assure
those concerned that it is sincere and
not making promises which it can
crawl from under at the first opportu-
nifty. That is where this country
stands. 1t wants definite under
standing as to Germany's future
rourse, a course which it is possible
10 interpret In straightforward man.

United States is going to bubble along

from the taking OF American lives ev.

Dthers, has sworn to protect them. 1

FOR THIS couNTRYs INTEREST

! Sight should not be lost of the fact
that the endeavor of the British and
French bankers who are at the pres
ent time comforting with financial
leaders in this country is not a mat.
ter which concerns solely the allies
and the bankers, for there are consid-
erations involved which are vital to
every branch Of American industry.
Opposition has been intfmated from
pro-German sympathizers but it is
the sensible view which is taken by
a leading banker among the pro-Ger-
man banking houses when he declares,
There IS no doubt in my mind that
many banking houses with Teutonic
Affiliations might be induced to take
part in this undertaking, despite the
natural course of their smypathies, not
because it would be helpful to the
allies, but because it may be essen
tial to the maintenance Of the COM
merce and industries of the United
States"
This is view which gives first
consideration to the United States and
that is where it belongs. Upon the
success of the loan depends the
amount of. business which this coun-
try can get from European countries
at war, and this is not confined solely
to munitions Of war but to. all ex-
ports OF products from factories and
farm. Unless such credit as is pro.
posed can be established it means thai
american industry is going to suffer
and such a suffering would give M
benefit to the Teutonic allies. It would
simply mean that the supplies would
be obtained elsewhere. 1t is inpos
sibIe to overlook the opportunity which
such loan gives for keeping oul
goods before the world.

WISE PREVENTIVE MEASURES.

It matters little what the blaze is,
or how serious the consequences,
whenever fire breaks out in the hold
Of vessel destined to countries which
are involved in the war, suspicion at
once is directed to the secret agents
OF the enemies OF those countries
Fires have occurred on ocean steam
ships before and they will. continue
to break out from natural causes, but
the discovery of bombs and infiam-
mabie material forming no part of the
cargo but placed with criminal intent
permits of no other conclusion than
that they are the work of enemy
agents who are willing to endanger
the lives Of -combatants for the
sake of destroying material which
might be- used by the forces with
which they are not in. sympathy.
The suspicion is increased by the
outrages which have been commit
ted in other ways without any deter
mined effort 70 counteract them. For
tunately, however, has the necessity
of establishing a close guard a1ong
all steamship wharves been recognized
and met. NThe far reaching wireless
has also served to give warning tc
vessels which it was believed it has
been intended to destroy by fire or ex-
| plosion so that thus far preventive
| methods have served to check any
| ocean horrors.
Thus while every fire in a STEAMSHIP
on the high seas may not be the re,
suit of a prearranged plan, there Il
nevertheless the best of reasons foI
exerting effort to keep suspicious
characters off the vessels while in docl
I and to carefully watch the cargo ant
workers while ships are being LOADED
and unloaded. 1t has proved thus IA
to be worth while.
