to convoy neutral merchantmen. A
warship is not permitted to give a
safe conduct to a ship carrying con-
traband. And il is up to the German
navy to interrupt the passage of con-
traband from a neutral country to
the ports of any of Germany's enc
mics. BY furnishing convoy the
United States would not only expose
American warships to destruction by
mines, but would also discriminate
against American contraband carriers
which have perfect right to enter
British waters on the same terms as
non-contraband carriers.
Moreover. the fact that the British
are making it very difficult for Ger
man submarines to hold up and search
merchantmen in British waters does
not in any way diminish neutral
rights. If submarines cannot do the
work of destroyers and cruisers. that
is not the neutral shippers fault. Be-
cause Germany is weak at sea we

cannot justify Germany in any irreg-

however. that the Germans have been held, hard and

Germany's reply to this govern
ments protest against certain impli-
cations of the war zone" order is
more conciliatory in form than in
substance. An effort is made to hedge
on the original threat to neutral ma
tions that German submarine COM
manders, not having the leisure TO
make proper investigation in adj
vance, might accidentally" torpedo
neutral merchantmen entering Brit
ish and Irish waters. More stress is
laid now on the peril to neutral ship
ping of the mine fields which Ger
many intends to plant off British and
Irish ports.
The menace of submarine attacks
on neutral vessels is CLOSED over in
cautious diplomatic phrases. But Ger
many's purpose to intimidate neutrals
and to extort aid from them in car
rying out a naval policy which she
has not the means to carry out un-
aided can be read as clearly as ever
between the lines of the German re-
ply.
The whole German argument is sim
ply an appeal TO neutral nations "a
help her to overcome the military
disadvantage under which she labOrs
from the inability of her fleets tC
keep the sea. If she had the naval
resources to carry through the am
bilious program of starving out Great
Britain which her Admiralty has an
nounced she would not bother to COM
plain of the failure of neutral com
mcrce TO maintain its rights on the
high seas.
The fact that supplies, including
munitions of war, do not move freely
into Germany and do move freely into
the countries with which she is al
war creates no moral or legal obi.
cation on the part of neutrals TO re-
dress that balance. We are willing

TnIAYING favorites for consideration in the mat
i ter of supplying freight cars to shippers no
longer is a pleasant profitable diversion to be en-
gagged in by railroad men in Canada In the semi
monthly news letter OF the Saskatoon Board of Trade
We find the following:
The first conviction under the Secret Commissions
Act that has yet been registered in the Dominion was
handed down by Judge Newlands at Saskatoon Su-
premo Court a few days A. E. Howes con-
ductor on the Canadian Northern Railway was iouhd
guilty of taking commissions from farmers IN inc
Goose Lake district in return for which he provided
them with grain cars The penalty was fine OF $500.
The outcome of the has been awaited with con-
siderable interest For years farmers have complained
of being held up for empty grain cars during shipping
season; but hitherto. such compainants have always
hesiated to provide proof doubtless fearing to prelu-
da their own future interests. This made very nara
Tor railways to locate offenders. II Is hoped now
ever that the present conviction will now wipe out
this Outstanding abuse.
That is a conviction that should interest in moral
and material sense every farmer and every railroad
man. not only in Canada but also in other countries III
which it has been necessary to grease the itching
palms Of railroad in order to obtain proper SER
