War Is Not Imminent.

While the severance OF diplomatic relations
between the United States and Germany may
lead to war, the assumption that it inevitably
will do so is not. justified. If war comes it must
be of Germany's making, and Germany will not
seek if it promises to result TO her disad-
vantage immediate or future. We may be quite
sure in this country that Germany not only will
avoid war with us so long as state of hostility
promises no gain for her, but that she will weigh
what is to be gained lost before deciding
whether to abandon her present methods of sub
marine warfare or sacrifice our friendship.
1t is difficult to discover anything but loss to
Germany in either or both of these eventuatics.
If the two nations remain on friendly terms Ber-
lin may hope to continue to use this country as
a base for various conspiraeies and operations
against her enemies, though these will necessarily
be somewhat curtailed as the result of recent
discoveries of plots against our own interests.
Without official representatives in the United
States her sources of information will be re-
strcted and her facilities for hampering the opera
tions of the allies reduced; while should a state
of war be reached Germany would lose her ships
now lying in our ports and we should be at lib
erty to give all the aid in our power to any of
the efforts of the allies to overcome her.
In what manner Germany could add to the
injury already done is not apparent Surely
we are in a position by this time to cope with
the methods that have been used against us in
the past and which have as a matter of fact re-
suited in acts of war; and our own fleet combined
with the fleets of the allies would make control
OF the seas absolutely secure. So where and how
can Germany gain by making war with US?
1t NAV reasonably be inferred that RerI;n
recognizes in our ultimatum a climax that has
been delayed longer than was believed possible,
and that the imperial government, we'll satisfied
with the destruction she has been permitted to
accomplish in violation of the laws of nations,
will be content to yield, because to refuse would
be loss to her greater than the gain, she may
hope for by continuance of present methods Of
submarine warfare. At any rate it is too early
to accept diplomatic break much less war, as
inevitable.

GENERAL GRANTS DRASTIC ACTIO

In May, 1870, Congress had passed an
act which put Southern elections and the
registration of voters In the Southern
States under the superintendence and
virtual control of Federal supervisors and
marshals, who were empowered to pro-
tect all voters in the exercise of their
right of suffrage, and whose complaints
were to be heard, not by the courts of
the States, but by the circuit courts OF
the United States At its next session it
still further strengthened the act.
The forty-second Congress met on the
9Th of March, 1S71. in extraordinary ses-
sion, to continue legislation to the same
end. Not merely the acts of registration
and voting needed to be guarded; every
privilege conferred upon the negro as an
incident Of his new freedom seemed in
need Of protection, the Republican leaders
were determined that the Fourteenth as
well as the Fifteenth Amendment should
be buttressed about by penal legislation
and the whole force Of the government,
IL necessary, brought to bear to put them
into effectual execution.
A committee Of seven Senators and
fourteen Representatives was appointed
to inquire into the actual condition of
the South and to ascertain the facts with
regard to the alleged outrages. there and
a drastic act was passed april 20, lS7l)
which was meant to crush the Ru Klux
Man ana all laWleSs bands acting after
its fashion.
Its provisions made such acts, whether
of violence or Of mere intimidation, as
the secret societies of the South had com
mitted conspiracy against the govern
ment Of the United States, punishable
by heavy fines Or by imprisonment, or
by both fine and imprisonment. and au-
thorized the President, whenever the
state authorities were unable or unwiIl-
ing to prevent or check them, to use the
land and naval forces OF the federal
government for their suppression, as
against an insurrection.
1t authorized him, also until the close
Of the next regular session of Congress,
to suspend at his pleasure the writ OF
habeas corpus during the continuance
of such rebellion against the United
States" in such portions Of the southern
country as seemed to him most touched

stoned and moving. is "The quality of mercy"

And he doth show then power likest Gods,
Whose mercy seasons justice.
There are those who maintain nowadays that
Shakespeare is not radical. 1t is true that he
treated kings with respect and glorihed certain
aspects of war and recognized class distinctions
But he nevertheless went to the root of the mat
ter in pointing out that what was most important
in life was right feeling. Though he accepted the
political and social conditions of the times he
recognized the wrongs behind them and he placed
the blame not in the institutions of man. but in
the weakness of spirit that made those institu-
tions possible. "How oft the sight of means to do
i-deeds," he says in King John, makes deeds
mankind. Only lover could have written those
plays and those poems, and only devoted child
of England could have burst into the noble trib-
ute that makes one OF the purple patches in King
Richard II:
This royal throne Of kings this sceptered isle
This earth of majesty, this seat Of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradse
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the Office of wall
Or as a meat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this Eng
land.
The Washington herald., 1916-04-21

Whether the work associated with Shake
speare's name was done by the man known as
Shakespeare or done by Roger Bacon or done by
several men seems to me of little account 1t is
enough that it was done and done by the power
that belongs to all of US and that it is ours for
ever. Why this concern over credit? The Ba-
conians are very interesting and impressive; they
pile up argument on argument; but so often their
zeal leads to kind of obsession which, in itself,
is deplorable. One argument that they insist on
is not in the least convincing to those familiar
with the mystery of authorship, that Shakespeare
was too ignorant to write Shakespeare. Ignorant
he may have been; but, like most writers, he
throve, not by using his own brains alone, but by
using other peoples brains. He was a marvel at
catching whatever came his way and making it
open vistas to his fancy.
