rights have led President Wilson to say that neutrality is "intolerable.' ' War has become so worldwide, so un- limited as to national boundaries, that it is no longer the hostile army but l the hostile state, men, women and children, with its outposts all over the world, that Is involved.
 Illegal Phases of Blockade. First and oldest of the entente allied restrictions is the blockade, which our government has declared illegal be- cause it is both ineffective and dis criminatory in favor of Norway and Sweden in that it does not blockade the Baltic and because it attempts to blockade neutral ports contiguous to Germany, to which British goods are allowed to go. The case dates back to March Il, 1915, and the last note was the British refusal of April 24 last.
 Rationing of Scandinavian Countries.
 The rationing of Holland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark has been bitter ly condemned in the blockade notes, where it has been Ee!d to be an abso- 1utely unwarrantable interference with neutral trade directly between two neutral countries. England invokes the doctrine of continuous voyage and allows only enough supplies to enter these neutral countries to meet their ucSUS, uSSPllc tIIS 1cSI tlidL goods imported to neutral country become part Of its capital stock subject to re-exportation if desired.
 Censorship of Mails vexatious.
 A not less "lawless practice'' has been the entente allied censorship of mails which has been called 'vexa- tiously iuquisitoriaL" Here again is an absolute conflict between neutral and be1ligerent rights. Neutrals have %1. Jor,f oF ,,tJ;v correspondence; belliserents have the right to search mails for contraband. Obviously, mails cannot be searched and inviolate at the same time. A reply is due from this government to the British and French note of Oct. 15, which itself was over four months delayed.
 British Blacklist.
 The British refusal of the American attitude as to the blacklist which was called an arbitrary interference with neutral trade" has just come and will require answer. The British claim 1t IS merely municipal legislation to pre- firms aiding the enemy even if in neu- tral countries. The United States holds that in effect this is extending British control. over into American af- fairs.
 Protection of American Industries.
 The prohibition of importation of | raw materials from the British domin- | ions into thI3 courtry except under | guarantee that they will not reach | German firms is another gailing re- | striction, not so much because the + right of embargo is disputed as that | in it's administration the British em- bassy here decides finally what firms | shall ant; what firms shall not be fa- | vored This gives control over American industries and knowledge | of Amer,can trade secrets that is re- sented.

rine warfare. even if complying with the inadequate rules as to giving warning and affording some measure or safety for passengers is intolera- Dle Germany is known to be build ing submarines rapidly and there is the possibility of a starvation cam paign against England. Its effects would concern all nations.
 The United States might find it difficult to avoid complications
 American Attitude Flat and Final.
 The American attitude is fiat and fi- nal. No technicalities will be admit ted Ships must not be sunk without warning or without provision for the safety of passengers facing high seas or distance from shore. The armed ship issue undoubtedly will be ad- vanced by Germany. but will not be accepted. Secretary Lansing fore saw it last March when, without an- nouncing his reason. ne decreed that a merchant vessel could carry a small defensive. gun. If that endangers submarines, that is part Of their weak ness. The United States, anxious as a pacific nation opposed to armament, to- increase the power of submarines, recognizes their shortcomings, es- pecially in their vulnerability if sur prised and attacked.
 Rests Entirely With Germany,
 The future of the submarine situa- tion is felt to rest entirely with Ger many. With the American attitude known, the next step must come from Berlin. Two possibilities are feared; either that Germany will decide she can starve England by an undersea campaign or that she may endeavor to involve this country and thus insure in peace conferences of a generous enemy inclined toward just peace terms. Lusitania Case Unsettled.
 Beyond this. the Lusitania case re- mains unsettled Germany has ad- mitted liability and offered indemnity But the delicate matter of it's amount has not been settled Attempts made to close the issue have been repeated ly blocked by unexpected new U-boat 
 Ravages of U-53 Displeasine.
 The ravages of the. U-53 off New were displeasing to the gov but the incident was viewed as isolated. It was said that a con tinuarfce of the practice would not be permitted, as it would constitute a practical blockade of American har- bors.
 Relations With Entente Allies. , Relations with the entente allies are less clear-cut, less dangerous, but per- haps more nagging. Sea power has enabled them through the blockade. | the rationing of Holland and all Scan dinavia, the prohibition of imports into this country except under guar antee, the seizure and censorsffi;, of 1 mails and the imposition of the black list to destroy all foreign trade hos tile to them and divert all American commerce to their own use Constant l belligerent encroachments on neutral
