Settlement Of Issue Is Probable

I + II Is true. as now seems likely. that this
1 government is willing to discuss the ques-
ton OF what may properly be regarded as
defensive armament on Il merchant vessel it
is probable that way will be paved for the
settlement ri the armed vessel issue between
this country and Germany.
Though complicated by Germany's an
nouncemcnt OF her intention to sink armed
vessels of beiligcrents and by the threat of
a warning resolution OF Congress to Ameri-
cans against taking passage such ships. the
question narrows down TO the clear issue
have merchant vessels a right 10 carry arms?
Under the strict rules OF international law
they are within their right. if their armament
is for defensive purposes only.
Since the development OF the submarine
as weapon OF war. however. the right OF
peaceful ships 10 carry arms, even though
ostensiby for defensive purposes only. has
been questioned on the ground that such
arms effective weapons OF oiIcnse against
submarines. and Germany contends that a
ship which is so armed 10 be able to sink
a submarine cannot claim the immunity &C
corded deieu@eless merchantmen.
This contention President Wilson has
stcadfastly comhated On the other hand,
there has been fear that Congress would so
far yield TO Germanys claim OF right as to
warn Americans that this country would not
protect them ii they sailed on armed vessels.
Any such action the part OF Congress
would have been altogether reprehenSibe,
not only because Of the disloyalty TO tho Presi-
dent which It would have cntailed, but be-
cause il would have amounted TO ostab-
lishmenr ny Congress OF a new and radical
principle OF international law, contrary IN
that founded on custom and followed Ivy
common agreement OF the nations.
Whatever action may have been contem-
plated by Insurgents in Congress has been
prevented by the foresight aud patriotism OF
Leaders in thai body. and now. in view OF the
confident challenge n' Representative Carter
Glass TO The disaUcctcd it would seem that
there is little DANCE. that any attempt to
cnharrasS the President and hamper his
efforts in behalf Of this country's honor and
50 fcty would meet with success. Mr.. Glasss
challenge is alive with 'hc strength Of courage
and conviction
But. pointed out by The Times Dispatch
several days ago. 1t is well within the right
OF this government. and perhaps its duty, 10
determine and define what the term "defen-
sive armament means. certainly so far as the
phrase and The weapons ii Includes or ex-
cludes. bear on The safety of American
citizens. The report that Berlin may pro-
pose discussion OF this question and the
statement from Washington tina, Secretary
Lansing will agree TO enter into such discus
sion make i probable that the United States
viii take advantage Of this right OF definition
and that reasonable and satisfactory solu-
ton OF an Intricate problem will be
worked out.

Curing the Leper

one OF the greatest achievements OF
medical science in history is Indicated
in the report from the Philippine Is
lands that twenty-three lepers have
been pronounced free from all trace Of
disease for period of two years or
more. According to number OF ex-
amining scientists these men and wo-
men are now entitled to return to
their homes.
The lepers were under treatment in
an asylum under the direction OF the
United States Hospital Service In the
Philippines. This asylum is far In ad-
vance OF most similar Institutions. It
is n model village, with the best
equipment for sanitation and comfort
