American rights impartially. not only
against Germany but against Great
Britain and in Mexico, our neutrality
would to-day be unquestiOned and
everywhere respected. In standing
firmly for wi rights we should have
aroused no hostilities that would not
have cancelled each other. Enmity
no more pursues the nation that
stands on It's rights and deals with all
alike than 1t pursues the man who
stands on his rights and plays fair
with all corners.
Neutrality's business may be over,
as the President says, but he has no
one but himself to blame for 1t. There
have been plenty Of opportunities for
him actually to serve humanity by
%espouslng the cause Of neutrals In the
present war. He Is n historian: does
he recall the time when the United
States Joined with Russia. Denmark,
Sweden, the Netherlands, Prussia, the
Empire, Portugal, Austria and the
Two Sicilies to curb British high
.handedness on the sea? That was the
Armed Neutrality; thanks to the
rights 1t championed our ships to-day
sail the ocean unmolested.
But Mr.. WILSON. far from being
equal to the championship OF the
rights Of neutrals, has been unable so
much as to protect American rights.
After letting women and children
perish In Mexico and on the high seas
he nov declares that neutrality has
become "intolerable." Your kind cer-
tainly has. Mr.. WILSON.

Mr.. Wilson and HIS Secretary Of War.

While Mr.. WILSON Is his own Bur
chard he has an able assistant, rs the
country now knows, in his personally
selected Secretary of War, NEWTON
DIEHL BAKER. 1t Is singular how
much alike the two men IRE. Mr..
BAKER has been described as a second
Woodrow Wilson. The President is
for peace at any price. Mr.. BAKER
has confessed that he Is for peace ut
almost any price. The almost was II
belatei concession to the demand for
prepa rdness.
II am II dreamer of Dreams" Mr..
BAKER once said. His latest vision,
Of n conspiracy to make trouble for
the Administration on the Mexican
border. Colonel ROOSEVELT has defined
rs n pipe dream. 1t was not unlike
the discoveries Mr.. WILSON has made
from time to time Of base intriguing
In Congress against the public welfare,
that Is to say against him and his
Legislative plans. Like the President.
Secretary BAKER is always saying
what he doesn't mean and appealing
to the context for ~vindication In the
case of both of them the context in
variably proves that they were not
misunderstood.
From II rhapsody on Mr.. BAKER,
written when he was appointed Sec.
retary, we quote the following: 'Of-
ten when the other boys were up In
the hay now or behind the barn.
thrilled with the deeds OF heroes
whose exploits were being recounted
In the paper backed novels, NEWTON
would be found In his fathers Office
delving in some classic like Paradise
Lost For this he became known as
the Angel Child" 1t Is credible and
may account for Mr.. WILSON'S selec.
tion Of him for Secretary Of War.
Mr.. BAKER had v played with tin
soldiers. lie told the reporters. and
knew nothing about the army-just

about the navy. They we're ideal ap-
pOlntments by n President who knew
nothing himself about either.
When Mr.. BAKER, wearing his new
honOrs as Secretary of War, made his
first call AT the White House he said:

time" 1t was quite characteristic.
When the late Tom JOHNSON took

declared: 81 nm Il follower OF the

rotary Of War Mr.. BAKER has fol-
lowed "the light of WOODROW WILL

Wilson's War.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: When
Democrats maintain that President
Wilson has kept the country out OF war
they are evidently referring to the" war
and not to our little border skirmish
with n Mexican bandit.
However uncomfortable and inappro-
pirate his so-called vacil!ating policy
may have been. President Wilson has

THE FIRST SUBMARINE.
II Was the P%eacemaker. Which Ante.
dated the Holland by II Years.

To II EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
statement repeatedly made and 80 far
uncontradicted that the submarine boat
Holland, soon to be placed In a museum
by Or. Gibbons. is the first one that
was successfully n~avigated under water,
leads me to draw attention TO the old
Peacemaker, which a~ntedated the Hol-
land by eleven years.
Tho Pcacemaker was built in 1885 at
the De'amater Iron Works and was
owned by the Submarine Motor Com
pany. OF which the late G. u. Sheppard
Of White Elephant fame was In control.
The boat was constructed after the
patented plans ~ Captain \. l., Tuck.
and made n number OF most successful
trips on the Hudson River. on Novem.
Der 90. 1856. came the hnal official
trial. when General William T. sherman.
General Schoicld, General Whipple, Com
mander ONeil. Lieutenant Zalinski and
several other prominent officers. besides
a host of business men. were present on
two steamboats,, l., representing the
London Daily Mail, was one OF the three
reporters on board, and I had the honor
of holding the candle for Pilot Holland
to steer by.
For over two hours on that day tho
Peacemaker was navigated under water
or awash at the surface. diving repeat
eddy and once going beneath a steamboat
IN motion. AZ Lieutenant Zalinskl after
ward said "She reminded me OF "A big
porpoise'' General sherman remarked :
This boat has solved the problem OF
submarine navigation" The pilot. Mr..
John q, Holland, was not n relative OF
the late Mr.. John u. Holland. the de-
signer OF the Holland. When the latter
submarine was about ready for its test
in 1897 the owners OF the Peacemaker
threatened to sue John j. Holland for
patent infringement. asserting that his
boat was a duplicate Of the Peacemaker.

BRITISH HAVE FINALLY TAKEN COMPLICATIONS ON THE

London.-Additiona gains along a front more than a mile and a half long were scored by the British in pressing their offensive north of the Somme, the war office announced. The Danube trench,o about one mile long, was taken and further territory on a thousand-yard front near Cour- celette was captured.
 At Moquet farm the British finally took the Notifications, for which the opposing armies have been contend ing for weeks. Quantities of war material and numerous additional prisoners were captured. The text of the statement follows:
 South of the Ancre our troops achieved further successes. In the vicinity of Courcelette, we extended our gains on a front of about 1000 yards.
 Tn the neighborhood of Thiepval we obtained a considerable success by capturing the hostile fortification known as the Danube trench on a front of about one mile. Here the enemy abandoned considerable rifles and equipment. We also captured the strongly defended work at Moquet farm, possession of which had been hotly contested for some weeks past
