SAYS PROF. E. c.
COlumbia's Authority on International Law Urges That
Great Britain Now BE Brought to Book
"U. S. Otherwise Unneutral."

We ought therefore as a people he
lieNing in that respect for international
law which we have protested in all our
notes. and recognizing that we have been
wrong. to accept the German not for
what IT il evidently meant to be-a sub
stantial compliance with the demands of
the United states in order to prevent a
rupture OF peace between the two Gov
ernmcnts.
II our Government pursues this wise
and proper course We should at once
have fecours to effective measures to
compel Great Britain to respect our
rights and for her part TO observe the
rules of international law which she has
so s~ignally and so persistently ignored.
Unless We are ready to take such II
course We ought to join England as an
honest ally and cease to he a disloyal
neutral.
In the Introduction and body of the
note. leading M to the promise To- which
We have referred. Won Jagow touches
upon various other questions. bu, they
are not material to the points at issue.
The whole note is a triumph for in
ternational law. Germany in the note
recognizes az fully as this country has
ever done that there are fixed principles
OF International law governing visit,
search and the destruction of merchant
vessels, but she contends she was forced
tn disregard the strict application of
these rules by way of reprisdls against
Great Britain's Illegal acts. since Ger
many nevertheless agrees 10 abandon
these reprLsals. which she considers lcsjt-
innate. II Is not necessary to discuss
the important question whether the re-
prisalS to which she had recourse were
reasonable under all the circumstance
OF the case.
Now that Germany frankly agrees to
conform to international law the United
states Is put upon it, honor To take
what reasonable measures We may 10

PREPAREDNESS AND COMMON SENSE

You and are protected by our laws
because behind the law there is force.
International law has no force be-
hind It. Some day, we hope and in
tend, 1t will be made unsafe 10 break
the law of nations. AS yet, however,
each nation must still go unprotected
or protect itself. Until the nations
unite together to enforce interna-
tional law, our best hope for peace
lies in making It dangerous for any
nation to attack us.
You and / belong to a great peace
loving people. We hate war and de-
for any means that will hasten the
coming Of permanent peace. We are
ready to do everything that is just
and honorable to secure 1t. Doubtless
we join with every lover OF peace in
looking forward to the day when rea-
son and understanding will settle or
prevent disputes among the nations.
But the road to peace does not lie
through fiabby weakness, as the his
tory Of China proves. but through self
respecting strength. That is why
believe in national defence. The mere
desire for peace. and the best lnten-
lions on our part. can not always Sc
cure peace. Among nations. as among
men, II often takes but one to make
a quarrel.
Last year ! was in Belgium. What
I saw there shall never forget. No
sacrifice can be too great to prevent
our people or any part OF them from
being ruled by foreign bayonets. Talk
is always cheap, but never cheaper
than when 1t sets guesses and wishes
against the tremendous facts OF the
world war
Guessing and wishing are no de-
tense. Guessing and wishing can not
even keep the peace between our citi-
zens. The force behind the law does
that. How then can we trust them to
keep the peace between the nations :?
am for preparedness because | be-
lleve. 1t offers the best chance to es-
cape war. 1t Is cheap insurance at
the price.
The Sunday telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1914-1927, 1916-05-28

nust keep us safe.
1t will not do. however, to forget
that genuine preparedness includes
Sar more than arms. A navy and an
army are not enough. In modern war
nations fight not alone with weapons,
but with all their natural resources,
with their industry and transportation
and above all with the patriotic devo-
zion Of their citizens.
Rounded national preparedness on
modern lines works not only toward
securing peace. but also toward max
1ng this country better place to live
an for all OF us when peace has been
secured. The great natural resources,
like coal, iron. copper. and WATERFOWL
or, are the raw materials OF prosperity
as well as the raw materials OF ma
tonal defense. They must be made
available for the use OF the people
both in peace and in war. But above
and beyond all else, we must have a
country defended against attack from
within and without by equal oppor-
tunity and social justice-a country
whose people will stand by 1t because
It has stood by them.
Let no man imagine that because
he lives inland he is safe from injury
by war. The capture OF New York
or San Francisco would break the
routes Of trade. and the resulting dis
location OF business would be left in
every home in the land. Farmer, min
or. merchant, wage Garner. employee
every man who works would find his
livelihood in danger II the normal de-
mand for labor and the products OF
labor were overturned by war.
recognize that in the manufacture
OF munitions and supplies for war cx-
cessiye profits are often found. | am
In favor of eliminating them with a
strong hand But It seems to me as
foolish to decide against national de-
Tense because there is graft as 1t
would be to abolish the police force
In any city because there is graft. The
thing to do is TO drive out the graft,
and yet maintain the protection which
Is so necessary to all our people.

DEMOCRAT ROW
IN BRYAN STATE
GAIN TO G. OPP.
Support on State Ticket Cut to
Pieces as Result of Com
moner'S Humiliation.

LINCOLN, Neb.. May 27.-Party
lines will not be closely adhered to
by Nebraska voters in the coming
election unless there is a marked
change in sentiment between now ard
November.
The division among the Democrats
Is so pronounced that one authority
makes the estimate that one-half of
the followers of W. ]. Bryan will vote
for the Republican candidates for tn ,
United States senator and governor
and smaller number for some of
the minor state officers. This defec-
ton will not extend to the national
ticket. and President Wilson, In the
event of his nomination, will receive
practically the united party support.
The detection on the state ticket is
due largely to the liquor question and
the chagrin of the Bryan faction over
the defeat OF their leader for place
on the delegation to the Democratic
national convention.
Particularly Is this faction embit-
tered toward Senator Hitchcock, who
is accused of chief responsibility for
humiliating Bryan. Only in slightly
less degrees does the hostility extend
to Keith Neville, nominee for COVER
nor. who defeated Charles W. Bryan
at the primary election.
For the first time in many years
the Republicans are united save on
the question of the prohibito"v
amendment, but what proportion viii
desert Judge Sutton. the candidate
for governor and a pronounced advn-
cate of prohibition, is difficult to as
certain.
Republican party leaders say the
detection should not be large. for the
reason that the governor has little 20
say in any event IL the amendment
carries. and both Sutton and Neville
have pledged themselves to abide the
the result of the election in the en-
forcement Of the law.
