SHIPPING FOR FOREIGN PORTS
Twice as Many American Sailors
Leaving Now, Is Report.

Twice as many American sailors are
shipping for foreign ports now as at
any time prior to the war, declares Dr.
George Sidney Webster, secretary of
the American. Seamen's Friend Society
of New York
In announcing the six months report
Of the society. DR. Webster says:
The past three years have marked
an almost unbeli"va Bile increase in the
number of Americans who are shipping
as sailors from our own ports. At our
sailors home on the North river front

We're almost entirely British, Swedish

or should have mingled in with this
company he would have been more or
less conspicuous. Today we frequently
lodge American sailors. and they are
practically all men who had not seen
service in the merchant marine prior
to the outbreak Of the war. 1t is a
very fair estimate to say that fully two
and one-half times as many Americans
are now seafaring men as prior to the
war. We can no longer say that the
American is landiubber.
I'VE venture to predict at the Ameri
can Seanens Friend Society that the
proportion Of American-bor sailors to
those of other nationalities will i'm
mensely increase after the war. In case
there is a slight lapse in industrial ac
tivity the seafaring life will doubtless
be an attraction to many who have not
heretofore considered it's desira bility.

AT this moment, when the people of
Belgium are being dragged into slavery
by thousands. in shocking violation of
every principle of international law, it
is no time for the President of the
United States to demand of Lloyd
George any further declarations as to
the terms upon which peace may be Sc
cured. Every real lover of peace should
now strive to uphold his hands by CIV
ing him at least moral support while
he is standing by statements already
made.
1t is sad. indeed, to review the un
broken series of blunders that have
marked our diplomacy since President
wilson's inexDerience and inaptitude
undertook to direct our foreign affairs
in Europe and in Mexico. England once
had an added parliament Surely we
nave had long period of added di-
piomacy. Sooner o: later the United
States. as the greatest of the neutral
