TWO WRONGS MAKE NO RIGHT.

What Germany's stand in the submarine
issue means is that International law must be
subordinated to "frightfulness. " ...-.
What Germany cannot do with observance
of neutral and nom-combatant rights-break up
the steady stream of trade TO and from the Brit
ish Isles>-she proposes to do by overriding the
dictates of law and humanity. ". ~
The German submarine campaign is now
fourteen months old As shatterer Of British
commerce it has been a failure Day after day
the Teuton submarines have sent to the bottom
steamers, sailing ships, trawlers and other less
pr craft, but they have not struck even a vital
blow at English shipping. Nothing is left for
hem, no effective recourse, but redoubing
Of policy of "frightfulness" which, her adj
nirals and warrior officials hope, will scare off
The trade when itcannot be driven off by lawful
hffack at sea.
l'p TO about the first of April, British mer-
fhart shipping had suffered the loss of $40
Stpamers, amounting to 100000 tons; of 81
sailing vessels $4,000 tons, and 237 trawlers.
iris is about five per cent of the total British
shipping. In the meantime Great Britain has
edsled so rapidly to her shipping that official
Ilepres show her stronger in maritime com
nerce now than at the beginning of the war.
So Car as stopping the British trade; so far
affecting the British food blockade of the
CENTRAL Empires, Germany's submarine cam
paign has been ineffective.
So far as slaughtering inoffensiye neutrals
and noncombatants engaged in legitimate and
awful errands upon the seas, Germany's sub
marine campaign has been effective
II may be that Germany hoped that after a.
few American citizens had been killed the
United States would induce Great Britain to
lift the blockade of food The United States
has plenty of grievances against the Allies and
the Illegal application of this economic warfare
|sainst the Teutons is one of them, but the
|pited States does not propose to bargain with
The lives of her subjects Germany cannot evadeI
I1sponsiHlity by complaining of what England
his done or is doing. Two wrongs never made
right.

James Sullivan, our ex-minister to Santo Do
mingo, who somehow has got himself mixed up
in the Irish rebellion, was found temperament
ally unfit for his Dominican post. 1t appeared
according to the charges made against him, that
other diplomats, calling to discuss affairs OF
high moment in Santo Domingo, used to find
Sullivan in shirt sleeves and without shoes, also
sitting in an easy chair with his stocking feet
elevated at an acute angle. How he qualified
as an Irish revolutionist is problematical, but
his name was probably sufficient to arouse the
suspicious of the sleuths of Albion.

Senator James o 'Gorman of New York, who
announced yesterday that he will retire next
March, is probably willing to quit public life on
account of differences with the administration,
which have been numerous and marked. The
New York papers have criticised him sharply
on several occasions. O'Gorman, while an able
man, is credited with being rather closer to
Tammany Hall than to the White House. His
term expires next March, SO that his announce
ment means he will not be candidate for re-
election
