From three to five weeks leave from
the army is to be granted to as many
Hungarian peasants as possible to go
home for the spring sowing. They
are told that after they have done the
most urgent work on the land where
they usually work they are not to take
any time over less important things,

work for their neighbors who are
kept at the front. The women and

Only One Interpretation.

II has, Of course, accepted the sue
cessive explanations and assurances OF
the Imperial German Government rs
given in entire sincerity and good faith,
and has hoped. even against hope, that
it would prove to be possible for the
German government so to order and
control the acts of its naval command
ers as 70 square its policy with the
principles of humanity as embodied in
the law of nations. 1t has been willing
to wait until the significance of the
facts became absolutely unmistakablc
and susceptible Of but one interpreta-
ton.
That point has now unhappily been
reached. The facts are susceptible Of
but one Interpretation. The Imperial
German Government has been unable
to put any limits or restraints upon its
warfare against either freight or pas
senger ships.

German Faith in Question.

If this instance stood alone, some
explanation, some disavowal by the
German government, some evidence OF
criminal mistake or wilful dsobedience
on the part of the commander Of the
vessel that fred the torpedo, might be
sought or entertained; but, unhappily,
il does not stand alone. Recent events
make the conclusion inevitable that it
is only one instance, even though 1T be
one of the most extreme and distress
ing instances, of the spirit and method
of warfare which the Imperial Ger
man Government has mistakenly
adopted, and which from the first ex'
posed that government to the reproach
of thrusting all neutral rights aside in
pursuit of its immediate objects.

Neutral Rights Ignored.

Notwithstanding the earnest protest
of our government, the Imperial Ger
man Government at once proceeded to
carry out the policy it had announced.
II expressed the hope that the dangers
involved, at any rate the dangers to
neutral vessels, would be reduced to a
minimum by the instructions which 1t
had issued to its submarine command
ers, and assured the government Of the
United States that it would take every
possible precaution both to respect the
rights of neutrals and TO safeguard
the lives of non-combatants.
What has actually happened in the
YEAR which has since elapsed has shown
that those hopes were not justified
those assurances insusceptible Of being
fulfilled.

Insists U.BOat War Cease.

II has, therefore, become painfully
evident that the position which this
government took at the very outset is
nevitable-namcly, that the use of sub
marines for the destruction of an en-
emy's commerce is OF necessity, be-
cause Of the very character of the YES
sells employed and the very methods Of
attack which their employment of
course involves. incompatible with the

French cross-channel steamer Sussex. II
must stand forth, as the sinking Of the
steamer Lusitania did, as so singularly
tragical and unjustifable as to consti-

Recalls Lusitanis Horror.

Again and again the Imperial Ger
man Government has given this govern
ment its solemn assurances that at
least passenger ships would not be thus
dealt with, and yet it has again and
again permitted its undersea command
ers TO disregard those assurances with
entire impunity.
Great liners, like the Lusitania and
the Arabic, and mere ferryboats like
tho Sussex, have been attacked without:
a moments warning, sometimes before
they had even become aware that they
were in the presence Of an armed ves-
sci Of the enemy, and the lives of non
combatants, passengers and crew, have
been sacrificed Wholesale, in a manner
which the government Of the United
States cannot but regard as wanton and
without the slightest color Of justifca-
ton.

Ruthless Attacks Increase.

In pursuance Of the policy OF sub
marine warfare against the commerce
of it's adversaries, thus announced and
entered upon by the Imperial German
Government despite the solemn protest
OF this government, the commanders
of German undersea vessels have at
tackled merchant ships with greater
and greater activity, not only upon the
high seas surrounding Great Britain
and Ireland but wherever they could
encounter them, in way that has
grown more and more ruthless, more
and more indiscriminate as the months
have gone by, less and less observant
Of restraints Of any kind; and have de-
livered their attacks without compunc-
ton against vessels Of every national
ity and bound upon every sort Of err
rand.
