A New Third Party.

"Get-together" movements in politics this
year appear to be confined to Republicans and
Democrats. We have had alluring prospectuses
teriallzed. For several weeks the public has
been assured that the Progressives the Prohi-
bitionists, the Populists and other political rem
nants would come together at St Paul this week
and create formidable third party to keep un-
certain the result in November Henry Ford was
to be the candidate and angel of the new party.
But Mr.. Ford has not appeared at ST. Paul.
Former Gov. Eugene Noble Foss, Of Massachu-
setts, was in line for the Presidential nomina-
ton, but Mr.. Foss doubts his availability For
mer Gov. Hanley, OF Indiana, was another pros
pectlve candidate, but he is a member of the
flying squadron OF the Anti-Saloon League and
that organization is probably the most bitter op-
ponent Of the Prohibition party. The outlook is
for a closer contest between the two older par
ties without third-party interference than we
have had for several years.
The embarrassment of the Prohibitionists is a
radical difference of opinion as to how national
prohibition can be accomplished. The old lead
ers OF that party still hold to the old idea
that radical political reform can only be ac-
complished by political party representing that
IoIOIiH dHu inviting the support or the people,
just as do Republicans and Democrats, Popu-
lists and Socialists. That is the main purpose of
the convention at St. Paul
The Anti-Saloon League does not subscribe
to that kind of prohibition. The league pro-
fesses to be non-partisan, working with all po-
litical parties to national prohibition II
has not met with better success than the Prohi-
ibtion party 1t has failed to secure recognition
from any Of the parties in their platforms but it
puts on smiling face and proposes to raise
large campaign fund.- million or more, to de-
feat all Republican and Democratic candidates
for Congress who will not pledge their votes in
favor of prohibition amendment to the Consti-
tuition. That plan appears rather futile with
the amendments proposed in Congress to the
law to regulate and limit the campaign expenses
of candidates for Congress. The only way to
defeat candidate is to support another can
didate, and if the campaign fund of a candidate
for Congress is to be limited to S., 500 there
will not be much room for the big fund of the
Anti-Saloon League, if that ever gets beyond
the prospectus stage.
The real trouble with all these Prohibition
lists is that old one of materializing pre-cam-
paign dreams. 1t is one of the simplest things
in politics to organize party paper and with
a clever advance agent to secure plenty of
publicity. The circus agents taught the poll
ticians how to do that. But getting together
for a political campaign is another proposition
and new parties fall by the wayside every week
because they have no backing with the voters
They are based publicity and when they
cease to produce novelties to win publicity they
are forgotten

1 was pleased an surprised to find how
the suggestion took. Adams did not ap-
pear to have much influence in New
York and did not seem to be making the
slightest effort to secure a presidential
nomination. ! thought this all in his
favor. The result was that Adams was
accepted as a candidate, and then ] went
to work in order to secure for him strong
support in the New York state legisls-
ture. which at that time chose the presi-
Dental electors. ! wished that the peo-
pie then as they do now voted for presi-
Dental electors because I felt fairly con-

Threats Of a New U-Boat War,

A large number of persons in the United
States have credited President Wilson with
brilliant diplomatic victory in forcing Germany
to stop violating international law with her
U-Boats Others have taken a different view
which gives little credit to the administration.
These persons have contended all along that
the British navy put an end to the unlawful u
boat warfare They have believed that British
measures of fighting the undersea boats were so
effective that the German U-boat fleet was re-
duced to an almost negligible factor.
Dispatches from Berlin of recent date seem
to bear out this view, in part, at least. These
dispatches contain an interview with Eugene
Zimmerman, general director OF the Lokal An
zeiger, whose views, it is stated, have reflected
the opinions held in government circles. The
dispatch says:
Herr Zimmerman goes to say that the
political reasons which shaped Germanys
policy included the wish to preserve the
good will of neutrals, and adds
But if Great Britain succeeds in making
neutrals passively and actively hostile to US,
one important reason for Germanys deci-
sion at that time would cease to exist. 1t
makes no difference whether neutrals yield
through fear.
Even Americans should comprehend and
appreciate the situation as it would be
changed for the central powers and the
conclusions they of necessity would draw
therefrom. We can only strike a balance
again of all political and military factors
and choose what is most useful for Ger
many, what best secures German victory"
Herr Zimmerman then ntimates in
veiled manner being unable to discuss this
phase more freely, that the submarine power
OF Germany has undergone a favorable
change since spring; evidently meaning that
either their numbers or their efficiency have
been increased considerably He concludes
his article with the assertion that all signs
indicate that new decision on the subma-
rine question will be necessary very soon.
Passing the various phases of interna-
tional law involved one finds a most significant
meaning in the statement that "the submarine
power OF Germany has undergone a favorable
change since spring; evidently meaning that
either their numbers their efficiency have
been increased considerably.
Many months have elapsed since the U-boat
war halted and in those months Germany
has had time to build large number OF sub
mersibles. Certainly German shipyards have
that Germany has not been confning her
building to boats of the Deutschland type.
Those who have given credit to the British
fleet rather than to President Wilson for stop
ping the murder OF Americans and other neu-
trails may find some arguments in the fore
going dispatch from Berlin and those who have
contended that the Berlin government has no
regard for international law, scraps of paper
and diplomatic notes may find new basis for
their contention if the Won Tirpitz style OF war
fare is renewed
The Washington herald., 1916-07-19

One reason why the sea-lawyers are having
SO, much trouble fixing the status of the German
submarine merchantman is that the law to which
tney nave been accustomed to appeal was long
ago Shot to pieces by German naval submarines
and British orders council. According to all
appearances at this time, the Kaisers undersea
trader has no rights anywhere on earth except
hrm stand taken by the United States govern
ment Tor the freedom of the seas. Thus the re-
markable voyage of the commercial submersible
ity 1t has shown that Germany itself is now
depending upon the very law which the United
States upheld in its utinlatum against the Tirpitz
savageries.-New York World.
