A Raid with an Obvious Purpose

1t has been suggested that the re-
cent German raid in the English
Channel was probably conceived as
a diversion 10 cover the escape of
commerce destroyers from the North
Sea. 1t is hardly necessary, how
ever, TO look for an indirect object,
considering the obvious usefulness of
interrupting or hampering the cross
Channel transport service. II hither.
TO the Germans have failed TO inter
fere effectively with the passage Of
troops TO the Continent it is not be-
cause they have thought it super
huous TO do so; and to suppose that
the enterprise must have been merely
a feint is unreasonable, not only in
the light of the partial success
achieved, but also because of the i'm
probability Of facilitating a second
airy sally by such means.
Whether the attempt was really
justified by the event is another ques-
tion. The German official report is
too indefinite TO be Of any use in
estimating the Importance of the af-
fair. 1t speaks Of two or three Brit
ish destroyers or torpedo boats and
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-10-30

at least eleven other vessels "eltner
sunk or damaged" a circumstance
enabling the German newspapers to
make headlines about twelve British
ships sent to bottom" There is no
reason to believe, even on the strength
of the German claim, that more
than two destroyers were lost, the
other "ships" being probably small
craft employed as lookouts. On the
other side the British profess to have
sunk two German destroyers. This
is denied, but it is difficult to accept
the denial. The statement that the
flotilla returned without loss" is no
more trustworthy on the face of 1t
than that which was given out after
the Battle of Jutland and subse-
quently amended by the admission
that a battle-cruiser and two light
cruisers must be added to the list of
losses.
There is naturally some disap-
pointment in England at the success
full escape of eight of the ten torpedo
craft engaged in the raid. 1t is true
that only one transport-an empty
one-was sunk, but it is the posi-
bility of making a raid of this kind
at all that is disconcerting. For
more than two years troops have
gone regularly back and forth across
the Channel with such evident i'm
munity that people had ceased to
think of the perils of the service.
The risk run by the Germans must
have been great, and they deserve
credit for extraordinary daring. 1t
is unlikely, however, that such raids
will come to be a matter of routine,
for supposing two destroyers were
lost the result was not sufficiently
encouraging to justify the risk run.

An Untimely Notice

At any time such a notice would have
been gratuitous, for obviously any bel
ligerent that accidentally sank an
American submarine would acknowl-
edge liability and make reparation.
Why, then. with the cries of American
women and children, who were obliged
to be lowered by ropes into boat and
committed 20 the mercies of the sea
still ringing in his ears, did the Presi-
dent take this especial occasion to warn
the warships of the Allied powers that
they must not in their attempts to
save the lives of their citizens and
our citizens from sudden death through
submarines make any mistake as TO
the nationality of the submarine?
While such caution must be exer-
cised. vet the time selected for this
unnecessary pronunciamento seems
most unfortunate and only too well
calculated to give the erroneous i'm
preston TO foreign nations that this
government was more intent upon pro-
tecting German submarines than the
lives Of its own citizens upon the high
seas.
The President did something more
to safeguard the lives Of his fellow
citizens. 1.-THE Herald" radio station
had sent out statement simply Civ
ing as current news the names OF the
vessels sunk and the localities Of the
disaster. For this it was reprimanded
and disciplined by Secretary Daniels.
Thus, even the American press must be
strangled to permit the submarine to
creep more surely upon its quarry.

Safety for Non-combatants

When the war broke out no princi-
pie of international law was more Sc
curely established than that war should
be so conducted that injury, death, or
even undue jeopardy should be spared
to non-combatants, so far as was rea-
sonably possible. Applying this rule to
the question of commerce destroying in
naval warfare, it was held that neu-
trail vessel could not be destroyed.
even though it carried contraband, un-
less its continuance in some way i'm
perilled the attacking vessel. While
the right to destroy the merchant ship
of bellgerent was clearly recognized,
vet it was subject TO the condition that
provision must be made for the lives
of passengers and crew. This could be
accomplished. according to the then ex-
isting practice, either by the war YES
sci putting prize crew on board the
merchant ship and taking it into port
to be adjudcated a lawful prize, or by
taking the passengers and crew upon
the warship and Transporting them to
place Of assured safety. II neither
OF these conditions could be observed
the warship was then obliged to per-
nit the merchant vessel, with its pas
sengers and crew, TO proceed on its
voyage after the contraband cargo, II
any. had been effectually removed or
destroyed.
Germany carried the rule to the ex-
treme of holding that the crew Of n
belligerent merchant vessel could not
even be regarded as prisoners of war,
and in 1870 protested against the ac-
ton of the French government in de-
tanning as captives the crew of a Ger
man merchant vessel.

Hollands Protest

Holland, small nation, existing in
the very shadow of Germany and
threatened with destruction if Germany
should prevail in this conflict, was,
nevertheless, not slow to express its
condemnation of this latest activity of
the submarine. As one of the five ships
which was sunk was n Dutch vessel, NJ.
Loudon, the Minister of Foreign Affairs
for Holland, at once made a public
statement in which he expressed his
confidence that Germany would dis
avow the act of her commander and
tender reparation for this absolutely
unjustifable act"
Holland has also promptly forbidden
the entrance of belligerent war vessels
into her territorial waters, except under
stress Of weather or damage, while
Norway, also a little state, promptly
followed the exploits of the subma-
rine U-53 by issuing an edict, dated
October Is, 1916, which forbade the
entrance of any submarine into her
waters unless it remained on the sur
face and flew it's flag.
While Holland and Norway were thus
bravely asserting the majesty Of in
ternational law the greatest of neu-
trail nations remains silent, unless we
except the semi-ofiicial statements that
have come from Shadow Lawn and from
the State Department to the effect that
the Wilson Administration is not dis
posed TO regard this act of the Ger
man submarine as in violation of Ger
many's pledges.
1t is therefore not surprising that

ictary Of Foreign Affairs for Germany,

dismissed the Happy Hollow school
and started home when Art Turner
called to him to come and join the
crowd to fight fire. Putting spurs to
his horse he soon caught up with the
crowd that had stopped at Jim Hardys
well for water In his excitement he
took all his coat and plunged in into
the water trough giving it a good
SOAKING, for he expected to use it In
fighting the II, Saes. He was soon ON
his way in pursuit of the others, who
were in adyanc,, After a wild ride
through the Little Bad Lands, hang
ing on to the d.ipping coat, he at last
discovered that the fire was long
way of. Turning homeward, he
lamented the condition of his coat,
but happy to know the homes of the
entire community were out of danger

fun with him over the incident, but
they ali admire him for his pluck
and are assured hewill do his part, il

Came Home Sore.

Tuesday night about eleven o'clock
q telephone call came from Carter ask
ing assistance to fight prairie fire
that was raging south of that town.
The alarm was sounded and two car
loads of volunteer fire fighters left
within fifteen minutes after the call of
distress was received After taking
an invoice of the cars in town it was
found that Leland St. Clair was the
only one who had car with lights in
working order, but George Smith of
Winner was here, and he volunteered
to go, but would not promise to bring
the fighters back, because the fire
was headed for Winner, but the brave
volunteers went any way, and run the
risk of getting some of the good peo-
pie of Carter to bring them home.
The fire was three miles south of Car
tor, and it was not long until our vol
unteers arrived there, and they did
valiant work. Mr.. st. Clair brought
back his bunch of volunteers about
$50 a. M, but the bunch that went
with Mr.. Smith, were left at Carter,
About 6:00,a, m. a phone message
was received here that they were
stranded at Carter, hungry, cold and
tired, and asking Tor car from here
to 20 after them. A car was gotten
ready as soon as posriple, but before
1 ii was started another message was
received, stating that the party had
started on its waythome with u Cal
from Carter. Finally word reached
town that the Carter car had unioadeo
the brave fire fighters six miles cas-
of Wood, and they were compelled tt
a walk that distance without breakfast
! The fire fighters arrived here abou
$40 pretty sore from fighting th'
angry flames, and Also feeling rathe
peeved over the shabby treatmen
they had received from the good peo
pie Of Carter, who sent "a call of dis
tress and to which they'responded 81
willingly.
