ARMED MERCHANT SHIPS.

The position about to be assumed by
the German and Austrian governments
in relation to armed merchant ships OF
their enemies is not unreasonable by
any means and is something toward
which the United States government will
have difficulty in finding ground for pro-
testation. There may be line OF de-
narration between merchant ships which
are armed merely for defense and mer-
chant ships which are armed for attack;
but the line is so beclouded that an
enemy might not easily differentiate. In
fact, ship supposedly armed merely for
defense might so easily be converted
into a ship that meant to attack when
an easy chance came that it would be
hard to draw a hard and fast line be-
tween them. A good deal depends, OF
course, upon the size of the guns car
RED but even that means of identified
tion might readily be concealed. War
ships of Germany and Austria would be

as well not to attempt interference in
this matter, for there is little basis for

II is one Of the commonplace most IN
vogue at dinners in the city at which the
critic of military operations has replaced
the affected man of the world to say that
"this war Of the trenches is very dull and
very undistinguishable; that it is highly
regrettable that in such warfare the Juror
Gallicus has no chance TO manifest itself
in all its ardor; that there Is no longer
any scope for that brilliant hand-to-hand
fighting. sword to sword and body 10 body
with which the whole history Of France
has been embelished."
Nothing is more foolish or more empty
than such statement. One can make 1t
without any challenge only because in
these days in which we live-and in which
so many die so ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS are
no longer Of any great Importance. Action
has taken that place of honor from whict
it was too long exiled.
II was only few months ago that
what one said sufficed to fill the life and
the thought of many people. THAT which
dream is everything to me- affirmed
Alfred de Vigny, who was forced 10 roll
his tower of ivory TO the base of the
pvrenees. A detestable idea, let it be said
in nassing; for loopholes for musketry fre
cannot be cut in towers Of ivory. Today
there is no nobility, no beauty, no real me-
cycept on the firing line-which IS the line
Of glory.
Moreover. the very Partisan opinion TO
,rbicb have referred is absolutely erro-
neous No war has made more demands
