Closing the Gap

The purpose Of the new notice Of
the British Admiralty requiring neutral
ships 10 obtain permission before at

to Scandinavian countries, is 10 shut of
GermanV's last remaining source Of
supplies from the outer world. The
entrance Of Italy into the war effect
ually blocks the southern avenues Of
approach TO the beleaguered Teutons,
How important that avenue has been
is shown by the fact that American ex,
ports TO Italy increased from SIS, $751;
727 in the nine months ending April
/, 1914, 70 $l38, 778, los in the same
period ending April /, 1915, a differ
ence Of $50, 900, 900, virtually all Of
which, no doubt, found its way into
Germany and Austria, for there is no
reason TO suppose that exports for Ital-
ian consumption would have shown
any material increase. An overseas
trust" has been Grated in Holland, to
which all goods 10 that country must

tees that no shipments Of the classes
prohibited by Great Britain shall be

many's needs, and it is evidently the
design of Great Britain new 10 con-
centrate her Efforts upon those countries
and to prevent, if possible, the passage
OF prohibited supplies TO Germany by
way OF them. The American export:
to Denmark, Sweden and Norway in
the nine months ending with March
amounted to s16O,O0O,0O0, compared
with S3O,OOO,0OO in the same nine
months Of the preceding year. 1t MAJ

MisplaCing the Irony
year.,

The French papers that call the rep
reservations Of the United States TO
Germany ironical are mistaken as 10
the tone OF the American statement Of
position. What this country has TO
say on the rights Of its inhabitants is
entirely serious and without rhetorical
flourish. II presents the facts and
bearings Of case Of great international
gravity in courteous terms, hoping TO
convince, not to add to excited feel
ings. The irony is not in the American
document, but in the general situation
in Europe. No one can write about
its phases without realizing that the
conflict is a mockery Of civilization.
1t would be irony to print at this
time a picture Of the peace palace at
The Hague, or to dwell on the TACT
that FIVE years ago vas founded a
$40, 100000 peace endowment, one
object Of which was 10 aid in the de-
velopment of International law" A
more rational purpose at this time would
be to arrest and reverse the sort OF de-
velopment that has been going on Of
late. The founders Of the peace fund
sought 10 establish better under
standing Of international rights and
duties. more perfect sense of inter
national justice among the inhabitants
of civilized countries and TO promote a
general acceptance Of peaceable meth
ods." But Europe has been sliding
backward far and fast. Ironical as Z
result, but lamentably true.
The United States is firm in making
known its intention TO protect the lives
and property Of its citizens under in
ternational law. If it has beccmt

proportion Of this would have come

An Unconventional War

When the Hague conventions were
first published they were verv impres
siye. The unsophisticated reader, as
he went throtgh the various articles,
felt that the horrors which had chayac-
terized previous wars would be greatly
mitigated in future conflicts. But the
present war might be called unconven'
tional, Every beligerent seems to
follow its own will When its atten'
ton is called TO a fragrant violation Of
some convention it always has some
excuse ready. The principal plea is
that particular convention is not
binding because it was not ratified by
all the parties to the present war. In
view OF the number OF belligerents par
ticipating in the present unpleasant
ness, this excuse is usually available.
But occasionally there is a violation
Of a convention which every nation
signed, because nobody in time Of
peace conld urge any reasonable OBJ
lection to it.
Last October the British destroyer
Meteor captured the German steamer
Ophelia and took it to Yarmouth.
The yrize court has just decided that
it was a lawful prize. Germany pro-
tested that the Ophelia was a hospital
ship and as such was immune from
capture, according to The Hague con
yention. Great Britain admits that a
genuine hospital ship is immune from
capture, but insists that the Ophelia
merely purported to be a hospital ship
that it was really masquerading as such
such for scouting purposes. Since the
prize coutr was conducted by Great
Britain, the British contention was nat
urally sustained. Such proceedings
make mockery Of The Hague con
ventions, so far as clashes between
belligerents are concerned. While
the proposal Of an international court
clothed with powers to enforce its
judgments by force may be a dream,
there should be an international trihu-
nal to pass on questions Of fact in such
cases as the seizure OF the Ophelia.
The present system is grotesque.

silering her answer, and careful con-
sideration indicates an anxiety to avoid
arupture with the country. II she
had been disposed TO provoke quarrel
with US as some persons have i'm
agined, she would have replied quickly
and in such terms as 10 leave no al
tentative. But she is taking her time
about it, and this being the case, it is
incredible that she would deliberately
increase the difficulty Of an amicable
settlement by a continuance Of the
very acts that compelled our indignant
and altogether justjfable demand for
their cessation. Such a course would
be unbelieyably stupid, and whatever
one may think Of German policies,
stupidity is not term that can
properly be applied to its diplomacy.

Mine or Torpedo

The suggestion from London that
the American ship Nebraskan may
have struck a floating mine seems
plausible, and America hopes that it is
the true explanation, No submarine
appears to have been sighted by the
crew Of the vessel, no CLINT Of the
rushing torpedo, and the location Of
damage at the forward end Of the
ship, while it does not prove the mine
theory, is a point in its favor. But
the strongest argument against the tor
pedo, positive evidence for or against
it being lacking, is the fact that Ger
many is at work on a reply TO the
note Of our government demanding
that American lives and American ships
be no longer impeiilled by submarine
attacks. That government has showl
by her delay that she is carefully con

Doing Something in Mexico

The murder Of Americans in the
Mexican State ofSonora is hardly 10 be
called fact constituting new. The
latest Of there outrages, perpetrated a
few days ago, was the work Of Yaqui
Indians but earlier ones, such as the
devastation Of a Mormon settlement
more than a year ago, were done by
marauders attached to Mexican military
forces. Yet now the government has
ordered two companies OF marines, with
all necessary equipment, to board the
cruiser Colorado at San Diego and to
be landed at GuaymaS for active ser
vice against the Yaquis if necessary,
II any protest was to be made, this
was the only open course OF action.
There is now no Mexican Government
to be addressed, even as a de iacto
government. Neither Villa nor OBJ
regon, in all probability, would in any
event, proceed against the Yaquis,
constituting a fighting force which all
oil the Mexican factions are constantly
attempting to make on good terms
with. There are possibilities OF larger
events in this situation but equal pos
sibilities that, if the marines are land
ed, the storm will blow over, leaving

There is an aerial machine far more
economical Of energy than the best
aerop!ane invented, and that is the bird
known as the golden ployer. This
bird, according to department bulletin
No. 1S5 on Bird Migralion," can fly
2,400 miles without a stop, making
the trip in not quite 46 hours, and
using only two ounces o! fuel in the
shape Of body fat, A thousand-pound
aeroplane, il as economical Of fuel,
would consume in a 20 mile flight not
the gallon Of gasoline required by the
best machines but only single pint.
The fact that the screw propeller OF
the aeroplane has no lost motion, while
the to-and fro motion OF the bird S
wings appears to be an uneconomical
way Of applying power, makes the fact
regarding fuel seem even more strange.

Italy Makes Defense

Italy's note to neutral nations may
constitute justification in the mind
Of Italians, eager to realize aspirations,
based upon tradition, nationality and
Italy's desire for position in the
Adriatic," but it will not be very per
suasive to anybody else. The ancient
grudges against Austria may account
for the Italian hostility toward Austria
that has been evident since the
great war began, although early OBJ
servers ascribsd much Of the popular
feeling in Italy to racial sympathy
with the French" Austria is reproach'
ed for sending an ult;matum to Servia
without consulting Italy. But that
happened last July. Austria is also
accused Of having tried long before
that to Austrianize certain possessions
in which there was large Italian
population. Italy admits that this
did not violate the formal agreement,
but argues that Austria had a moral
obligation TO respect the use Of the
Italian language and the maintenance
Of Italian tradition and Italian civiliz'
alton" in its Italian provinces.
Instead Of annulling the alliances at
the time Of these alleged violations
on the part Of Austria, Itlay began long
negotiations. The world is familiar
with Italy's atrempt to barter with an
ally. Bluntly expressed, it was case
Of international blackmail. The cit
ing OF Germany's efforts to persuade
Austria 10 make concessions as recog-
milton Of the propriety and legitimacy
OF the Italian attitude" is almost hum
orous. Germany felt that the conces-
sions were not too great price TO
pay for Italian neutrality. 1t is not
charged by Austria that the negotia
tons were dragged along by Italy SO
that it might have time to prepare
for war. The rest o! the world has
suspected that some uncertainty is 10
as 10 the outcome OF the great war was
one cause Of Italy's hesitancy. 1t is
also suspected that the Austrian con
cessions would have been accepted il
Italy had believed them 10 be irevoc-
able. Had Italy remained neutral, it
could not have expected any aid or
comfort from the allies in enforcing
Austrian concessions. All the circum'
stances indicate that Italy's course is
prompted by the prospect Of realizing
those aspirations to which the note
incidentally refers. It's iron bound
contract with the allies, formed SC
quickly as TO force the conclusion that
it was prearanged, strengthens thi:
view. Italy has gone into this war fol
what it can get out Of it.-Gobe- Dem
