It is Ours to Act or Back Down

The American government is in very embarrass- ing position put there partly by the state department partly by frmness of the allies in adherng to their right to and divert neutral mails, and in their time forward it to it's destination un less they confiscae or destroy it. If our state department meant what it said and spoke from a full knowledge of the facts when it declared in note Great Britain five months ago when it de- nounced these seizures lawless practices and said that "only radical change. restoring to the United States it's full rights a neutral power will satisfy this government" it was justified in making that dec laration The character of those words has made it necessary for this government to proceed to abate these 'lawess practices of the allies back down.
 The allies have declared that they will not be abated but that they will be carried with the least possible inconvenience to neutras and they further that they have been carried on Therefore. will be change, radical otherwise unless we force one This government will be satisfied by restoration of it's rights neutral unless it stores them itself by force retaliation.
 The allies note claims precedents for it's and cites order by President Lincoln in the civil war It claims. moreover that it has violated right of neutrals under international law If that is state department made pitiful spectacle of itself when issued it's of last May. If the state de- partment was right then it will make a pitiful spectacle of itself if it lies down now, seeks a com promise resorts it's favorite pastime of note writing It has demanded the restoration of this gov ernments full rights" part of it's rights of which it says has been divested by "lawless prac tices"
 IL was the diversion and holding up of ordinary mail that moved department to pro test in such vigorous and unequivocal language. It was the long and accumulated complaint of American business that their mail addressed to neutraIs furnished information which turned Brit ish competitors who then after the business lated in the detained letters. Some confirmation of these complaints afforded by investigation by Consul General Skinner London who had pre- vously reported that the limitation placed by orders In council, the volume of goods neutrals might had been used in the interest of British manu- lecturers and merchants that these orders mercisl measures in the guse of measures.
 The issue between the United States and the al lies Is now absolutely clear If our government was wrong in the first instance it is right If ii wrong in the first instance that inexcusable If t is right and fails promptly assert itsel effectually that will be inexcusable. But look fo neither prompt action a prompt backdown bu rather for period of writing that will carry thu matter until after November '.

The testimony in .ne case was clearly against the de- iendant. In fact so strong was the Web or circumstances against him that ne confessed to the purloining of the animal, but strenuously insisted that It was used by himself and family and mat he had not entered into compe- ,itlon with the butchers trust in of ferin9 it for sale at a price which might be ruinous to it. No one was permitted to Dartake of any of the Juicv chops or roasts from the ami mai except himself and family and the appropriation was on account of an unsuitable hunger for mutton which he allayed in this manner.
 In reviewing the testimony Judge Supervise, who was conducting the trial said that there was no doub: tha- the law prohibiting theft had been violated. but as the law does not provide that the possession of . sheen in itself is unlawful. and as ths defendant had taken this particular animal to satisfy the appetite of th' l oNlpem IdmliN ne mad committed H.

 Earlier in his speech MT. Hughes had pointed out that the loss of American lives including many women and children, the Lusitania had been direct and natural result of President Wilson's being too proud to fight and of his persistent habit of publicly saving ity and privately doing quite the contrary that his supporters might contend that had kept us out of war When asked to comment the exploits of the submarines off Nantucket MT. Hughes declined say ing he could discuss events because he determined to do nothing which would embarrass Mir Wilson in effort he might make protect Amer ican rights.
 MT Hughes further elcited wild enthusiasm when he declared, T repeat in Philadelphia what said in Milwaukee.
