RUBBING IT IN

THE events Of the past weeks have made
j a certain conclusion inescapable. 1t is that
Germany's U-boat campaign is what it is in
contempt and defiance Of the United States
The proof of that has been somewhat dis
torted by conflicting accounts, but essentially
it remains sound. When Germany temporarily
gave up her submarine activity In Differences
to the views OF this country, critics OF the Ad-
ministration gave IL out that Germany had
yielded only because England had destroyed
an the German submarines. Now we know
that England did nothing of the sort ana Is
incapable OF protecting her commerce from
whateYer U-boats Germany has built or may
build.
The resumption OF torpedoing vessels with.
out warning now is a direct answer TO the
United states Germany found that she could
not do without that weapon. not even for US.
Her pledges are waste paper and her denials,
as in the Sussex case sound strangely un.
convincing from her lips. Day by day the
danger TO this country and to every neutral
country increases. It Is clear nov that the
German menace to the rights OF noncombat-
ants % the seas cannot be met b reason or
justice. Il Is Tor the Government d this

Germans were repuised. But It is not to be
supposed that either the withdrawal from

discounted by the murderous artillery which
still commands every position leading to the
city of verdun. When those positions have
fallen the German objective will be gained,
and not till then. Whether they will fall
before another action elsewhere on the front
is prepared is the question which the German
high command must determine.

FOR PEACE OR WAR

II has long been evident, though the fact
has not yet made its due impression, that in
dustrialism is the modern training school for
war or peace. 1t is there that men are actually
thinking of another i'm terms of war or
peace 1t is there that they learn to organize
for or against another The lockout and
the strike are distinctly warlke measures. Arbi-
tration is term of war, the most advanced
term looking toward peace, but still presupposing
a state of warfare. Cooperation in some of
its manifold forms, is the only distinctive term
of peace. 1t is such, not simply because 1t inn
plies sympathetic action, but because it educates
all concerned in those sobrieties which
democracy must at last rest" AS we recall how
many persons are in the training school of in
dustrialism how early they enter il and how
long they remain in it, and how various and
how influential are the experiences through
which they pass, can how far back the
peace movement must reach in its educative
work What can we hope to accomplish In the
training of our diplomats for carrying out the
policy of universal peace If we cannot train our
captains of industry, in the ranks both of cap
ital and of labor, TO think and to act in the
terms of peace?-William j. Tucker, in the

had as much to fear from England as from
Germany, seeing that the rivalry between Ger.
many and England was economic This fear
was demonstrated to have been well founded
when, in 1910, the Dutch considered fortifying
the mouth of the Schedt This could only be
considered defense against England, and
the proposal aroused a storm of wrath in
England and Belgium The Dutch had pros.
pered through their economic alliance with
Germany, said the English, and now they
were obeying German orders to make the
river mouth impregnabe. English newspapers
went SO far as to threaten the Dutch East
Indies, the richest colony in the world. Long
before that the alliance between England and
Japan had been source of uneasness to
Holland for the Japanese look with envious
eyes upon Java and Borneo.
Within the last fortnight Yusaburo Take
koshi, former Minister of Education of Japan,
has published an article seriously discussing
the advisablity of Japanese occupation of the
Dutch East Indies.
I'VE Japanese" he says, must devote our
attention to the islands of the Pacific Our
fleet has, in consequence of the war with Ger
many, taken possession of island groups like
the Caroline and Marshall Islands. But these
are mere rocks. We cannot be proud of our
possessions in the Pacific until we have Java
and Sumatra."
Such presumption the Dutch consider the
direct result of the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
Prepared Against Both Sides
So the Netherlanders have done what Bel
gum did not do-prepared defenses against
both English and Germans. The clief system
of defense, the inundation of part of the coun-
try is not much a defense against Germany
as it is plan to make fighting of any kind
impossible in that part of the lowlands. Hol-
land refused to be n cockpit And history
proved her fears justified. The suggestions of
a possible Allied raid at the heart of Germany
through a sympathetic Netherlands came from
English sources.
So we have the remarkable spectacle of a
little nation with 100000 men under arms
ready to fight off both sides at once Splen-
didly as Belgium has acted, what would not
have been the effect on the history of the
great war if the Belgian guns had been turned
simultaneously against Germany and France?
Could the other neutral countries have resisted
such an appealing situation and withheld
their armed support of such sincere neutrals?
