Nearer 10 the Rule

One German submarine captain has found Il
expedient to very nearly, at least, observe the
lule laid down for dealing with merchantmen in
tercepted at sea, when he required the captain
of the Norwegian vessel to jettison that part OF
his cargo held to be contraband.
This practice may not be generally adopted
IA the course OF submarine warfare on commerce.
but II is = decided improvement on the methods
heretofore employed. II would seem TO be we'll
in keeping with the effective use Of the sub
mersible in blockading commerce in enemy
waters too. II the submarine may be thus en-
ployed, and commerce be so interfered with,
much OF the objection TO the use OF the under
sea boat will be removed. II has been the in
human practice of sinking the ship on moments
notice. and. at times. without notice that has
aroused the indignation OF the nations.

Greater omaha Opportunities.

The achievement Of Greater Omaha con-
solidation is chiefly important by reason OF the
opportunities IL will afford our own people II
they will only take full advantage OF them. Up
to this time we have always had to be
planning how what was really one city happened
10 be divided artficaly into two cities and
several suburban towns and the explanation
seldom penetrated. The thing we want to do
first of all, therefore, Is to have the status OF
the Greater Omaha officially fixed so that our
rightful rank among the cities OF the country
will be accorded without a special demand in
each instance.
Although the merger Of the cities does not in
itself add a single inhabitant to the number al
ready here. it ought to be a substantial factor
for attracting population and capital invest
ments. II ought especially to enable us to put
forth more effectively our claims to recognition
as the national location for distributing
branches, or agencies, OF the great manufactur-
ing establishments that find a market for their
wares in this section. Kansas City, for example.
is just opening a s1,5O0,O00 warehouse and
plant put up there as a branch Of gigantic
mercantile concern, whose main headquarters
is in Chicago True, Omaha, already has che
distributing houses for many national manu-
facturers, but we should have more of them
should have all of them.
While inviting new concerns, we must not
neglect our own home industries, which should,
whenever possible, have preference over out
side competitors. because their growth means
steadily charging employment for home people,
who in turn spend their earnings in the chan
nels OF local trade.
In a word--Greater Omaha, as applying to
unified city government, means mostly a greater
and more unimpeded field for development.

Dealing With Great Britain.

Overshadowed by the more important nego-
tiations with Germany, the dealings between
the United States and Great Britain the sub
ject Of overseas commerce almost has been lost
sight OF by the public. II is again brought to
view by the receipt OF communication at the
state department from Great Britain, the text
OF which is not as yet made public. publication
OF its contents rests with Great Britain.
The fact remains. however, that the United
States has never ceased in its protest against
the British order in council which was sub
scribed to by the other powers OF the Triple
Entente, setting up a constructive blockade OF
German ports, and undertaking to Justify gen
eral interference with traffic between the
United States and European neutrals. Our gov
eminent has steadily and mistakenly upheld the
right TO freely traffic with neutral ports, and
assurance is given that this position will not be
abandoned.
Many cargoes shipped from or destined to
the United States now being held up by Brit
ish interference. and for the liberation Of these
representations are being made to the British
government. Tho right OF neutrals TO trade
in non-contraband articles is the basis OF the
protest sent from this country, and there Is no
indication of any intention to reeede fIom the
stand taken on the point. The situation is not
acute nor is It likely It Will become so. but the
attitude OF the British government presently
will have to be finally declared.
