Our Own People

JNSISTENCE by German government officials
1 and by German sympathizers in this coun-
try that acceptance of the position of the
United States as to the rights of neutrals on
the high seas would serve to protect allied
merchant shipping against submarine attacks
is justified in sense. but only in the sense
that the same protection is afforded by the
dictates of humanity and plain mandate Of
international law.
The destruction of the Lusitania as has
been pointed out frequently. was not rendered
more unlawful or more barbarous by the pres
ence Of American citizens aboard that vessel
Its illegally was decreed by the law Of ma
tions. embraced in the naval code Of Germany
as we'll as in that OF every other civilized
land; it's essential inhumanity was in the
causeless slaughter of noncombatants gem
orally, and of women and children especially
That Americans were among the victims
affected the situation only in that 1t conferred
on this government the right, as we'll as the
obligation. TO make solemn protest and de-
mand reparat ton.
When President Wilson tells Germany that
she must exercise the privilege of visit and
search, SO that her naval officers may assure
themselves that a suspected merchantmen is
subject lawfully to destruction. he merely
repeats a rule Of law He insists that the
law be observed because its violation menaces
American life and property. Abstract prin-
ciples OF humanity are involved only Incl
dentally; the President acts because 1t is the
duty of government to protect its nationals.
Yet ii should be noted that Germany is
asked 10 abandon no right the law gives her
American citizens who step beyond the circle
or the laws protection must be left to their
fate. 1t is noteworthy also that the United
States will not undertake to enforce inter-
national law save in cases where American
interests are involved. Every time German
submarine destroys without warning British
or French merchantmen, international law in
the American Interpretation, is violated but
protest has followed. md will follow only
when Americans have been slain. In other
words, we are trying to make Germany obey
the Law and respect the dictates OF humanity
as TO our own people-and TO them alone
That she must do. or peaceful and friendly
relations cannot continue

Tapping the Rappahannock

Z OR many years plans have been discussed
1 for railroad 10 connect Richmond with
the Rappahannock River near the bay. Al
one time it was thought that the electric rail
way from this city 10 Ashland would be en-
tended to Urhanua, but nothing came of the
proposition. Now the alternative of building
a road from West Point to Urbanna has been
brought Up again
The interests behind the movement are OF
considerable Importance, and If Richmond
bestirs herself the railroad should become
reality 1t would mean great business gain
for this city. The lower Rappahannock and
the Northern Neck are at the present time
commercial tributaries OF Baltimore, but
transportation is limited to steamboats,, and
i'll winter traffic almost ceases because OF the
uncertainties OF the steamer schedules.
Lack OF railroad facilities has prevented
the development OF the section, which is very
rich naturally. Connection with Richmond
would be OF great value both 10 the country
penetrated and 10 this city.
The Richmond party that has gone to look
over the possibilities OF the route and meas
ure its advantages deserves encoura cement
We hope encoura cement will be supplied
both along the Rappahannock and here at
home.

by the generally unsatisfactory nature OF the
testimony and by the fact that tho trial judge
himself expressed doubts to Franks guilt
and asked that the death sentence be COM
muted.
So long as Frank lives efforts to clear up
the murder of Mary Phagan will he continued.
as we'll by Franks friends us by his enemies.
So long as he lives there is reason to hope
that the truth will be ascertained. For the
man himself, there may be sympathy con-
demnation, but with the pursuit of truth
public sympathy should be universal.
Our own hope is that the investigation on
no account will be suspended. whatever the
outcome of Franks wound. The mystery
should be cleared up and every reasonable
doubt resolved.

Gods Ways in Time of War

D UDDHISTS, it is stated. are so encouraged
- by the European war that they are plan
ming a great revival OF their religion Ash
aucs at ono time were so impressed by the
superior energy and science of the Occidental
that they lost their self-confdence and began
to look towards the West for inspiration and
guidance. But the wonderful DEVELOPMENT
of Japan and the terrible war devastating
Europe have gone long way towards shak-
ing the Orientars belief in the superior wis
dom and virtue of the Westerner. Hence the
threatened revival OF Buddhism
Conversely, Christians all over the world
have been greatly depressed by the war. The
war has been loudly heralded by some per-
sons. among them Ex-President Eliot. of
Harvard, as proof of the failure OF Chris
Nanlty. Yet there is another way of looking
al It which might prove stimulating 10 faith
instead OF depressing. War is kind OF
divine audit; it is the settlement for national
errors and crimes
Fortytve years ago France was over
"heimed as by a whirlwind. For many years

SONGS AND SAWS



There dwclt maid in Richmond town.
Who was a peach: her smile was merry
She never learned the way to frown:
Her lips were red any cherry.
ier voice was music. and her grace
Beat any fawn'S that e'cr existed
SWANS who gazed once on her fair face
Knew she was not to lie resisted.
Her suitors hung around i'm herds
And clamored for this maids affection.
They woocd with roses, sweets and words,
Used every art in loves collection.
Her opportunities great
To land husband worth her choosing:
Twas not held subject 10 debate
She had the smallest chance OF losing.
And yet when she agreed to wed
And gallopcd up to Hymens altar.
She'd picked hopeless muttonhcad.
Fit to adorn a hempen halter.
Tis thus made clear. beyond all doubt.
That blind as any bat is Cupid.
Who links the beauty with the lout
And makes the wise endure the stupid.
