GERMAN
PROCEDURES.

A correspondent of the London
Times. who recently has been in Scan
dinavia, sends the following:
German submarines lately hav"
adopted the practice of stopping neu
trail ships in the North Sea and de-
handing that enemy passengers OF
a military age shall be handed over
to them"
The outcome of the present strained
conditions between the United States
and Germany is still yelled in uncer-
tainty. The Kaiser, by his acts, shows
he has no intention of abandoning sub
marine warfare nor paying attention
to the protest of neutral nations.
English ships are being destroyed ev-
cry day without regard to the nation
atty of passengers. and the Unite:
States is shown no more Difference
than the most helpless of European
countries. The Gazette is not a be-
lieNerainswar paint, and until hostili-
ties fare seen to be unavoidable will
entertain hopes that President VIII
son will do everything possible in or
der to prevent ar actual clash OF arms.

But should the unexpected come and
an actual casus belli be perpetrated
by Germany, we would favor fight
to the finish.
While we have ever attempted to
look upon both sides in the present
conflict, believing that the triple ELI
tente is honest in it's claims as wei!
as the triple alliance there are GER
tain occurances calculated to cause al
of the ship of a nuetral nation
Waving Germany's claim that trea-
ty is a scrap Of paper, the stopping
and of the ship of neutral nation
upon the high seas and taking there
from passengers has ever been re-
garded as verging closely upon an act
of war. During the early stages OF
our civil conflict, it will be reEenbef
ed, Capt. Wilkes of the United Stat
es ship San Jacinto stopped the Brit
ish mail steamer Trent in the BAHIA
ma channel and took Mason and Slid
ell, Confederate Commissioners, prls-
oncrs. England promptly demanded
their release upon the ground that
the act of Captain Wilkes was a
breech of international law, as when
any person took passage on neutral
ship he placed himself under the pro-
lection of the flag Of that country.
The United States acknowledged tn,
justice of the claim and delivered up
the commissioners.
According to the dispatch published
in the London Times, Germany will
lefy this generally accepted law, ano
It will probably be but matter Of
line when some peaceful United Stat
IS vessel will be stopped, searched and
people taken off. A very vital issue
will follow.

SUNDAYS
TRAGEDY

The killing Of negro by a special
officer late Sunday on North Lee
Street made the sixth member Of that
race shot to death by officers in this
city during past years. in 1886 des-
perate negro was killed by an officer
near the northwest corner of Prin-
cess and Fairfax streets. Later an
officer was forced to shoot two
negroes at the old Fayette street de-
pot. One died almost as soon as shot
and the other fingered but short
time. \ few years later another of
that race met his death near Spring
Park while endcavoring to shoot Of
ticers who were pursuing him. An
other tragedy followed close in the
wake of the latter, when desperate
negro, who was armed, took up .
position behind stone wall q short
distance north of Spring Park. In
addition to the above two men were
shot by an officer on the Strand a few
years ago. They were brothers and
had been engaged in fight with a
man. When the officer appeared and
attempted to place the brothers un-
der arrest they resisted and were get
ting the better of the minicn Of the
law when the latte" drew his pistol
and shot 10th. One died almost i'm
but the other survived his
wound and lived several years after
the shooting.

ALLIES ARE
JUBLIANT.

After the dispersion and destruc-
ton of the Spanish armada. during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth a med
al was struck upon which was the
following: "AfRavit Deus ct dissipan-
tur"- "The breath of God has is
sued, and they are dispersed. An
item in yesterdays Gazette stated
that the Muscovites regard the de-
feat of the German fleet in the Riga
Bay as direct answer to their
prayers Many persons in London and
Paris prefer to believe God is smil-
ing upon their cause.
At the siege of Troy invocationa
assembled to Mount Olympus some
to Minerva and others to Venus. The
gods were supposed to be watching
that elongated conflict even as the
present belligerents believe the
higher powers are interested in the
bloody war now disgracing the earth.
1nvocations to high heaven did no..
save Constantinople from the Turks
ago and incidentally the
Cathedral of St. Sophia nor did the
prayers of thousands save Notrc
Dame in Paris forty-four years ago
from the Teutons.

RANK AND FILE
SHOULD KEEP COOL.

Beyond the fact that the Arabic
has been sunk, the State Department
has no official knowledge whatever.
Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, has
been cabled to ascertain, if the Ger
man government has received any
official information regarding the
sinking of the Arabic, and to obtain a
copy of the report of the captain OF
the U-boat. Until he is in possession
of all the information that he re-
ouires President Wilson will take no
step.
In the meantime it behooves every
American to refrain from rash talk
and let the powers that be handle
the difficult issue into which the
country has been forced without any
fault of it's own. In this connection
the Baltimore Sun says:
'There are two public men in the
country whom we are coming to count
on as almost certain to do or say the
wrong thing in time of public Gil
sis. 1t is almost needless to state
that one of them is Mr.. Bryan and
the other is Mr.. Roosevelt. Personal
ly and politically they are the anti
podes of each other, but they near
ly always can be relied on so far to
cooperate with each other as to give
bad advice-not the same bad advice,
but advice calculated to disturb the
public mind or to embarrass the Gov
eminent. Mr.. Roosevelt figures now
in his favorite role of the stormy
petrol of war, Mr.. Bryan in that OF
the meek and radiant dove of peace.
"Mr. Bryan is open to an even more
serious indictment. Mr.. Roosevelt is
talking like an American, at al!
events, though it may be like a fool
ish and an indiscreet one. But Mr.
Bryan is talking like a German, and
seems bent on acting as the leader
of the German movement in this
country He not only takes this &C.
casion to renew his advocacy OF q
policy inconsistent with that to which
the American Government Is COM
mitted, but in his paper he urges
voters to write to members Of Con-
gress to force the Administration to
back down. cat its words and submit
humbly to whatever Germany chooses
to do. This is the program of the
Kaiser and of the pro-German party
in this country. 1t may be the prac-
tical application of the injunction to
turn the other cheek to the smlter
who has already struck you, but no
body will defend it as Americanlsm.
We hate to think that so pious and
Christian a man as Mr.. Bryan can
he swayed by average human emo
tions, but if it was anybody else we
should say that the person was III
spired by vanity, obstinate pride OF
opinion and a carnal desire to &C.
even with the man who has COM
pletely overshadowed him in public
life. No true American, no true pat
riot, would seize such crisis vt this
to promote an agitation that, if sue
cessful, must leave this country max
ed and ashamed before the world and
defeneless as a sheep before a hun
CRY wolf. y
