Seattle, Wash, May 30.-tifteen
IONS of dynamite stored ON scow

have been awaiting shipment to RUS
sia, exploded at 9 o'clock this morn
ing. completely wrecklng the scow.
Damage estimated at $4,000 was
done to plate glass windows in Seat
tie. Al unknown Waterman who is
supposed to have been guarding the
dynamite, IL missing and doubtless
was Killed.
Roy Llllico, manager of the Lillico
Launch and BOAT company, who had
supervision of the explosive, said he
had hired the Waterman Saturday
without learning his name TO take
The place Of two men, who usually
guarded the scuw in launch but who
had been sent to Tacoma for a tow.
The cause of the explosion is un-
known but Port Warden A. A. Paisee

Shipment Delayed.
The explosive was brought To Seat
tie from San Francisco on the steamer
+. s. Hoop. May 10. and was trans
ferred to the scow upon the steam-
crs arrival Mr.. Lillico said the ex-
plosive was awaiting the arrival of a
steamer TO take it to Russia.
Mr.. lillico, in a statement To the
police, said the shipment was to have
been sent q week ago on the Japanese
steamer Shensie Maru, but that that
vessel would not takesit and the con-
signment was being held for another.
The shock of the explosion was tre-
mendous. Buildings throughout the
entire downtown district rocked as if
they were about TO fall and hundreds
of plate glass windows fell into the

A Real Patriotic Service.

For what he said at Lake Mohonk, DR..
John Grier Hibben, president Of Prince
ton University, deserves the thanks Of a
whole nation. He has told the truth where
the truth has not been heard for many
years. He has told it at q time when it
was necessary for whole nation TO recog-
nize it,
Altogether too long have the American
people listened to Missionaries and propa-
gandists like Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler,
eagerly spreading the peace gospel accord
ing TO Andrew Carnegie and obscuring
the vision Of their fellow countrymen.
Nearly eleven months of world war,
the tragedy Of Belgium. the massacre of
the Lusitania, have established the fact
that there is no protection from attack in
innocence, in hatred Of hostilities, in hon
est and sustained love Of peace.
Within the past two weeks the United
States has stood nearer to war than at
any time since 1898. 1t stands there now
and for the dark shadow it has not the
smallest esponsibility-its sole offence
the sole offence Of the Belgians, was that
they stood between 4 great power and
the realization Of its purpose.
DR.. Hibben has told g truth at the
headquarters Of inveracity, not inveracity
Of intent, but that even moro dangerous
inveracity that flows from incapacity to
see the fact-to grasp the actual. In doing
this he has rendered real patriotic SER
vice. His solemn words should be read
by an audience nationwide.

"Germany's Noble Heart. -

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: read with much disgust letter writ
ten by al f." and headed German Hate
RENTED" in to-day's Tribune.
The sentiment Of the letter is so decidedly
pro-German that It almost becomes rdicu-
lous. There is a certain brutality OF thought
in tho letter. Referring TO the unfortunate
American citizens who lost their lives on the
Lusitania he says: They have marred Ger
many's triumph in her latest brilliant
achievement, q triumph which would have
been complete and glorious had British pas
songers alone been sacrificed" This conveys
absolutely the German fighting spirit. They
do not consider the ordinary civilian, and it
certainly is heartbreakng TO know that limo
cent people, particularly children (of whom
there were many, and also mothers, should
perish in the twinkling OF an eye" without

"Frightfulness" in Prisons.

Deputy Police Commissioner Lord is the
latest mouthpiece for the criticism Of War
den Osborne's prison methods at Sing Sing
and the demand for "frightfulness' IN
prison discipline. "Give criminal good
stiff term and some rough treatment up at
Sing Sing and he will hesitate about going
about his profession on his return" Mr..
Lord is quoted as saying. "You put a
premium on the crook when you treat him
with kid gloves. He comes from Sing Sing
and says, Boys, played shortstop on the
team up there and served as juror; it's
lots of fun That's not helping the police
and Justice; it's hampering US great
deal"
Because Of his experience in the Dis
trict Attorneys Office and his present con-
nection with the Police Department Mr..
Lords opinion is bound to carry some
weight. But is it not rather the express
sion of minority opinion than a voicing
Of view generally held by police and
prosecuting officials and judges to-day?
Severe punishment has been tried unsuc-
cessfully from the foundation of the world.
Capital punishment and stiff terms" with
all accompanying degrees Of rough treat
ment," were the rule for slight offences in
medieval times. The record shows that as
society became more enlightened and pun
ishment became less rigorous, the crimes
for which the most severe punlshments
were imposed abated-to some extent, at
least The experience Of the last half
century in this country is that stiff
terms" and trough treatment had no
glowing success in diminishing crimes gen
orally or reforming individual criminals.
The individual who gets into jail
iustly-is off the normal. 1t is possible
that there are some so constituted that
"frightfulness" will terrorize them into a
law -abiding life; but the old system has
proved that they are not a majority. II
is possible that the new methods roughly
known as "prison reform" may fail TO ter
rorize some convicts into honesty; but II
is impossible to believe that there are
many who will consider Sing Sing fun"
and desire TO go there or stay there, even
with imprisonment mitigated with base
ball and some amount of self-government.
Meantime society, DESTROYS Of utilizing

Haldana The same visionary, utopisn
dreams which led the AsQuith Cabinet to
forget the real Europe In its effort TO eon-

strucs All imaginary Europe Is unmis-
taxable in Mr.. Wilson's Cabinet, and, In
deed. In many Of the utterances Of the
President himself.
What has happened in England is more
than a temporary crisis, a mere change In
ministers or in the personnel Of minis
try. In fact, It represents the dismissal
Of some mon who failed hopelessly in a
time Of great responsibility, who closed
their ewes to facts and followed their own
humanitarian ideals and aspirations. SO
firmly convinced were these men that what
they desired should exist, did exist, that
tho thunder Of the 42-centimetre guns in
tho walls Of Liege and Of Namur found
England practically without an army, In
capable Of saving the Belgians she had
encouraged to fight, unable to do much to
prevent the German horde from sweeping
to the walls Of Paris.
One by one the dreams Of the last thirty
wears are giving way 10 the facts Of all
preceding human experience. We in
America. the French and the British have
al in our own ways followed the call Of
the pacifst and listened to the persuasive
arguments Of those who would have US
disarm. France and England have paid
the price of this The French and Brit
ish statesmen who proclaimed the new era
are going TO the rear, only mere frac-
ton Of the millions who are suffering for
their errors, not Of intent, but Of judg-
ment.
The present Cabinet crisis IN England
is q final evidence that the British people
ere at last awake to the meaning Of the
German war, 70 the meaning Of the Ger
man idea and ideal. It means stronger,
sterner, more incorporating spirit in
the conduct Of the war. 1t means a final
elimination Of the men and the ideas
which have ruled democracies everywhere
for two decades. 1t is a return TO the
England Of Pitt, as the French Cabinet
change WAS a reversion to the Republic Of
the elder Garnet.

or Of The Trihnne.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II Is interesting to note how the Ger
mans toll to explain away their latest crime
all person has 10 do when contemplating
murder Is TO notify the victim beforehand
This will have the effect Of rendering the
perpetrator wholly innocent.
If this latest phase of Kultur should be in
corporated into our laws II would be a mighty
good thing for the gunner, thugs, cut
throats, ct hoe genus omne, generally.
Jack the Ripper, the land submarine OF
Brooklyn, has been so kind as to notify the
distracted parents that he intends to take the
lift Of third innocent. But what more could
be desired? II murderer is so consderste
why should he be declared guilty, even though
he be hend in human FORM
German reasoning seems to be in q class
BY itself.
A German recently said 10 me that Eng
land, as was her custom when dealing with
small nations, left Belgium In the lurch, for
when Belgium was invaded there were no
English in sight 20 assist her. An hour later
| heard the same man tell some one else that
Germany had a right to violate the neutrality
Of Belgium for the reason that there were SO
many English there
Again, ! heard German say that as Ger
many had illimtable resources in men
money, food, supplies, equipment etc, it would
be impossible TO starve or conquer her and
that she would win easily. Yesterday heard
this same man in an effort 70 justify the lat
est horror say: Germany is obliged 10 do
such things as she is forced TO fight for her
very exstence!"
Verify. to follow the tortuous ratiocination
OF the Teuton Is too much OF task for the
"untutored mind" OF the average American.
