Sees No Use In Grand Juries.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
1t has always been a wonder to me
that grand juries were not abolished

legal procedure Is hardly conceivable.

tagonists Of Germany must regard
the peace as no peace, but merely
truce. They must look TO the fu-
ture. They must recognize that tho
commercial blockade instituted in
time of hostilities must be continued
in time of peace, in order TO keep
Germany from recouping.
This is what the threat Of COM
mercial boycott really means. Ger
many will doubtless determine, by
her own course, whether her op-
ponents in war shall also be forced
to continue her enemies in peace;
whether 1t shall be necessary for the
rest Of the world to starve her in or
der to prevent her regaining the Gu
pacity for more mischief.
A widespread boycott Of Germany,
so very dependent on foreign trade,
could in a few years exert a pro-
found effect. Merely to have Topped
off the trade which it has done with
Britain and the colonies, would be
to precipitate great depression,
which would cause millions of Ger
mans to emigrate. This would be
the most effective Of all methods Of
breaking down German power of re-
habilitation. Germany will need her
people, after the war, as never be-
fore. If instead Of keeping them she
is compelled to let them 60 else
where to seek livelihood, the power
of Germany will be lessened just as
effectively as by the attrition Of
trench war or the awful losses of a

ARMED snip INSTRUCTIONS

British admiralty instructions to
armed merchantmen, now given 70
the public, make it perfectly clear
that such vessels are armed for de-
fense only. They must not attack a
submarine, they must neither attack
nor interfere with merchant vessels,
hshing boats or any craft whatso-
ever under any circumstances. This
particular paragraph seems. to estab-
iish beyond question the good faith
Of the British admiralty in it's denial
Of the German contention that Brit
ish merchantmen are armed for the
purpose Of deliberate attack upon
submarines. It and the previous
paragraph are worth studying:
GUNS SOLELY TO RESIST ATTACK.
q Armament is supplied solely for
the purpose of resisting attack by
an armed enemy vessel and must NOT
q An armed merchant vessel.
therefore, must not In any circum-
stances interfere with or .obstruct
vessels or fishing craft. whether
these are friendly, neutral. or hostile.
Il is when we come to one Of the
subparagraphs, circumstances sun-
der which armament should be en-
ployed," that we find the undoubted
basis Of the German contention. This
paragraph reads:
.. Experience has shown that hos.
tile submarines and aircraft have fire.
quently attacked merchant vessels
without warning. 1t Is important.
therefore, that craft of this descrip-
tion should not be allowed to APP
proach to short range. Mt which
torpedo or bomb launched without
notice would almost certainly be cf-
fective. British and allied subma-
rines and aircraft have orders not
to approach merchant vessels. Con-
seauently II may be presumed that
any submarine or aircraft which de-
nberately approaches or pursues
merchant vessel does so with hostile
intention. In such cases fire may
be opened In self-defense in order to
prevent the hostile craft from clos
Ing to a range at which resistance
to sudden attack with bomb or
torpedo would be impossible.
The admiralty assumes here that
the submarine approaching a mer-
chairman intends to torpedo the ves-
, sci without notice. The mere ap-
proach of the vessel, therefore, is
held to be the beginning of the attack
to which resistance, under the ad-
miralty orders, may be, indeed should
be, offered.
II that paragraph were out we
doubt whether even the Berlin for.
eign office would question the sin.
cerity Of the instructions, though
they might still press for our accept.
ance Of the new doctrine. But with
that paragraph in the instructions
the Germans have taken the whole
admiralty purpose to be the exter.
mination of submarines by a cam.
Daign Of armed merchantmen.

Open Our Mills Instead Of Our

fOrtsI
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Your editorial discussing James j.

American trading In the products OF
Europe. so as to facilitate Europe's pay.
ing America what she owes us. is right
10 the point.
Permit me TO add some suggestions to
your reply.
We American common people" who
nave not Invested millions In European
bonds, while sympathizing with Eu-
ropes distress, are really not hal, SO
much concerned In providing Europe
with business prosperity as we are In
prosperity at home. Safety first Is .
great slogan, but II is no more insistept
than home industry frst!"
Mckinley's retort to Bryan is still ap-
plicable TO Mr.. Hill, II we change but a
word and make II. open the mills in
stead OF the ports" Our mills. not Eu-
ropes. We are not obligated to cause
our own people to suffer hardships ~
order to enrich those nations whose
bonds are held ~ Wall Street
You are only partly right In saving
that III our sarmers and other producers
suner because of free trade so will the
railroads suffer bv the decrease in ton
mage. Ultimately that may be, true,
but In the meanwhlle--and this is the
selfish view of the transportationists-
the freer the trade the more will we be
getting our supplies from distant
source. and that means the mere tran
sportatiOn, the more business for the
railroads. PAUL V. COLLINS.

SEARCH U. S. STEAMER
BRITISH VIOLATE NEUTRALITY
BY HOLDING UP VESSEL.
Probable That Great Britain Will Be
Called Upon to Retrict Her
Squadron's Operations.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Brigadier
General Light, commander of Ameri-
can military forces in the Philippines,
reported to the war department facts
that show a clear violation Of Ameri-
can neutrality when a British destroy
er held up the American steamer Cebu
off Carabao island early Monday.
General Light reported that the
Cebu was a mile and half inside
American territorial waters when she
was stopped and boarded.
The Cebu's captain was compelled
to give Lieutenant Bellies, the British
commander, the ships manifest and
passenger list.
The official report was laid before
Secretary of State Lansing by the war
department.
On releasing the Cebu, the lieuten-
ant made this note in its log: Board
ed at 3 80 a. M, 9-11-16, examined and
passed"
There has been more than one COM
plant about the activity Of the British
vessels around the Philippines, and
while General Lights report fur
nishes the basis for a specific protest,
it is probable that Great Britain will
be called upon to restrict the opera
tons of her patrOlling squadron gener-
ally in and near the islands.
