Germany Threatens Piracy.

FROM the Philadelphia Ledger.
Between the action of Germany in pro-
claiming a war zone" and the action Of
Great Britain in proclaiming a war
area. there is an obvious and vital diff

German naval authorities, on the other
hand, propose to leave such vessels to
shift for themselves. There is to be a pa

and Belgian ports, but of Dutch, Norwe-
gian. Swedish and Danish. . No protection
against the threatened peril is possible:
because 1t is a constantly shifting peril
which no human foresight can avert.
Submarines, with which Germany in
tends to prey upon commerce., without
overmuch regard for the nationality of the
victim, are entirely untitled for such work.
Their sole aim is to destroy, and they
have nc facilities for taking off non-com-

is needless to say that this is little less
than sheer piracy. 1t betrays a shocking
