OUR DUTY
TO CIVILIZATION.

~ SiNiLIZAiION
During debate in the United States
senate the other day. several sena-
tors insisted that Americans should
keep off beiiigerent ships, or be kept
of by the government to avoid In.
volving us with the European powers.
Thereupon Senator Nelson of Mime
sofa quietly punctured their argument
by calling attention to the fact that
the neutral countries of Norway,
Sweden, Denmark and Holland have,
altogether, lost as many ships as has
the British government"
That is to say, neutral vessels seem
TO have been no safer for neutrals and
noncombatants than Brisish vessels.
The governments responsible for the
murderous submarine warfare have
pretended to differentiate between
neutrals and belligerents, but they
have not done so scrupulously. And
even the concessions which have dimiu.
ished the proportion of neutral ships
sunk in the last few months were
made solely because of the indignant
protests of the United States.
Therein is the point OF the whole
business. The only hope Of maintain
ing international law and human
rights lies in the unfinching cham
pionshlp of them by our government
II we yield the right Of American
citizens to travel on peaceful ships O
any nationality whatever, we there
by surrender such ships to the mercy
OF new, barbarous warfare void o.
mercy. And II we permit one breact
In the wall of neutral rights. the whole
wall crumbles. If we will not defent
our citizens travelling lawfully under
allied flags, how can we defend them
when travelling under neutral flags
even under our own?
We have right to sail the seas
without any new and artificial restrict.
ions imposed by Austria and Germany
or we have no rights at all-at least
none that the Central Powers will re.
pect.
And the assertion of such rights Is
not mere pig.headedness of selfish
pride. Our government is tho spokes
man of all neutrais. and therefore OF
international law and sanity, and OF
civilization itself. II our rights are
surrendered, We surrender with them
the inalienable sea rights OF all ma.
tions who keep peace and attend to
their own business.

manner. The monument which is 75ft.
