THE RIGHT OF SEARCH

The searching of an American steamer by British cruiser and the seizure of SS by the cruiser will stin further mudde the diplomatic waters. if the story as printed be true It Englands bulheaded policy in claiming the right search American vessels for alleged deserters from British ships that precp taed the War of 1872 between the United States and Great Britain However there Is stn later precedent for right that has regarded obsolete since 1874 During our Civil War. an American cruiser stopped Q British vessel on which as passengers Mason and siden. commissioners of the Confederate States en route to Europe on mission for their government The British government immediately filed protest at Wash ington. and the commissioners released by order of President Lincoln who thereby added to his troubles for he was subjected to the vtuperatve denunca tions at home and was charged with having been ntim- dated by the British government But in all that he
 did during those sressful times Lincoln believes that he was right and he paid attention to the storm that broke about his devoted head History has sustained his action
 Of course. without full knowledge of the details in tbe case of the china-the American ship from which the Germans were taken-the matter only be dis cussed from superficial point of view. From the in- formation at hand however. 1t would seem that the commander of the British cruiser has been guilty of an lndefensble act and it may be assumed that he win not be upheld by h.s government matter of cold fact the act savers of piracy on the high German sub iects surely as well as the nationals of all other cOun tries should be safe from molestaton as peaceful pas sengers or sailors on a neutral vessel.

There are some straws which would seem to ndi cate that Germany is getting tired of war This is seen in the acknowledged activity of her agents in neutral countries That Germany has carried on propaganda of many kinds has been proved beyond the shadow Of donbt Some of these have been high-handed others have been questionable And these prOpagandas have not been confined to the United States German agents have been busy in all the neutral countries and. in some effective work has been done The greatest ac- vity SO far as is known of has been In the United States The campaign to induce our government to place an embargo on the exporaton of munitions Of war 1t is charged has been aided by German money although must be admitted that there many Amer cans who would welcome such embargo for humanitarian reasons In India and other Mohammedan countries German agents have without doubt been fomenting re- belon and how successful they have been. so far as India is concerned is matter of doubt. in view of the strict censorship maintained by the British gov enment in India On the whole perhaps little substan- tia progress has been made n melting the native peo pie of India against the British
 The point of the matter is however. that, If the German government felt absolutely assured of the sue cess of it's arms. the interfering and ntermeddlins with the affairs and government of neutral nations would be unnecessary Speaking generally the German propagandiss have not succeeded in materially aiding Germany On the contrary their activity has injured the German cause and lost that country the sym pahv of many people who otherwise were disposed tc look upon Germany with approval because of the pro
 ressive spirit of her people industrial and economic matters and also because of the marvellous efficiency that has been conspicuous feature of that nations rise and progress in the past forty years.
