The Menace of the Deutschland.

The Deutschland has left our waters and is
reported safe at sea, with her nose turned home
ward. Her arrival in our waters was greeted
with popular applause and her evasion of the
fleets off our capes acclaimed. While her
crew sojourned our soil we did not withhold
the hand Of friendship
Perhaps our reception was the most notable
evidence since the outbreak of the war that the
people Of the United States and the people OF
Germany can be friends In all the time that
the Deutschland in our waters there was
no indication that we had not forgotten the day
a little more than year ago when the Lusi-
tania went down, victim Of U-boat flying the
same flag the Deutschland manned by men
of the same nationality as those on the Deutsch-
land, and serving the same government that the
Deutschland served.
But the Deutschland, coming in peace and as
a friend menace to the friendship between
the German and American people
Had the Deutschland been blown up while she
lay in Baltmore's harbor, it is reasonable to
suppose that the popular indignation in Germany
would have been as great the outburst of
feeling in the United States when the Maine
was destroyed. 1t would have been difficult to
convince the German people that the act was not
in retaliation for the sinking of the Lusitania.
They would have believed US guilty of one of
the worst kinds OF treachery and their anger
perhaps would have been difficult to control
With Germany today wavering as to whether
1t shall add to its Uboat war the methods against
which the United States has protested, an out
burst OF public feeling such as would have been
caused by the destruction of the Deutschland,
probably would have been more than sufficient
to cause decision by Germany that would ulti-
mately lead to the severance of relations between
the two governments
The Deutschland was we'll guarded by her
crew and by Federal agents while she was in
Baltimore Harbor, and she escaped harm. When
she put out to sea she again faced danger that
was shared by this government. 1t was our
duty to see that harm came to her while she
was in Our waters. In the darkness and mist
between the capes the task was not easy Fortu-
nately, no allied vessel invaded the three-nile
limit, the Deutschland made her escape and the
dangers that she involved ceased to exist
In wishing Capt. Koeng and his crew Cod
speed, our people may also congratulate them
selves that the Deutschland has departed.

Abraham Lincoln would not have de-
eiined the nomination for Vice President
even In 1850. Some of his Illinois friends.
however, notably the late David Davis,
old not share an opinion which prevailed
IN Illinois in 1856, which was strongly in
iavor of the nomination of Lincoln for
Vice President.
Judge Davis was apprehensive that II
Lincoln were nominated for Vice Presi-
oent on the ticket at the head of which
was the name of. Gen. John c. Fremont,
and If the ticket were defeated, that
would probably end Lincoln's political
career at least SO far as the Presidency
was concerned. Years later, Judge Davis
said that If Lincoln had been nominated
rs candidate for Vice President in 1856 he
probably would not have been regarded
as candidate for President in 1850.
Judge Davis was therefore, glad when
ne learned that William L. Dayton, of
New Jersey, had been nominated for Vice
president instead OF Lincoln, but the
judge was also pleased that Lincoln
should have received as many votes
about l50-as he did receive in the con-
vention in support of his nomination for
the Vice Presidency.
As late as February, 1850. Lincoln, ac-
cording to some Of the political leaders
in New York who met him at the time
OF his visit to that city for the purpose
OF delivering the now traditional Cooper
Union address. was persuaded that Will
lam H. Seward would be nominated for
President, and he thought that the
chances were excellent for his own NOM
ination for Vice President in that case.
The Washington herald., 1916-08-05

William NJ Evarts, who made the
speech for Seward at the Chicago conven-
ton, was always of the opinion that II
the convention had nominated Seward
for President Lincoln would have been
nominated by acclamation for Vice Pres
ident. Mr.. Evarts had learned that while
Lincoln was in New York in the early
spring he spoke rather freely about the
possibility of the nomination Of himself
for Vice President.
One day Lincoln met a New York
friend whom he had formerly known in
Illinois, and they chatted for few
moments about old times The friend
congratulated Lincoln upon the profound
impression which his Cooper Union
coin II he were well 10 do financially.
and in reply Lincoln said that he owned
his house at Springfield, Ill, and had
about 5000 in addition. He added that II
they nominated him for Vice President,
as some of his friends thought the con-
vention might do, and il he were elected.
he ought to be able to save half his sal
ary of Vice President-about sl6,Ooo-and
If he did that he would be comfortably
off
This remark was repeated to some OF
the political leaders in New York at the
time and they interpreted it as meaning
that Lincoln looked TO the Vice fresi-
Dental nomination and would have glad
ly accepted 1t IL 1t came to him, realizing
that his four years service as Vice Pres
ident would put him in possession Of
what for him at that time would have
been a comfortable little fortune.

The Guard Not GrumbIers.

The German soldier engages our respect and
lres our enthusiasm. But the German soldiers
have undergone an admirable training incom-
parably better than anything our Guardsmen
know The armies that shifted in box cars
taught how to make the best Of transportation
under such conditions; the National Guard has
had no experience in these matters. Yet if cir
treatment, they would not whine over anv neces-
sary trials, though they would unquestonably
roar nobly # stupidity, laxness, inefficiency or
lack OF provision made their lot harder than it
need be; and in this every sensible would
support them-New York Sun.

Strike Clouds Darker.

The people of the United States have had
ample time in which to form an opinion in the
controversy between the railroads and their en-
ployes. The threatened strike, which now seems
almost inevitable, has been brewing for months
and it is to be assumed that the thinking people
of the nation have studied the issues involved and
formed their opinion If a careful study has
been made it is not at all unlikely that the case
has been decided against the employees who
threaten to strike. If such is the case, the EN-
poyes face the problem of striking without that
which in nearly every strike is strong, and
sometimes deciding element-public support.
The strength of public support is not easily
estimated, but it is fact, borne out by records,
that few strikes have been won without the
support of public opinion. The employees very
probably have carefully estimated the trend of
public opinion, but apparently have decided to
risk the fight without the support which is in
most cases essential to victory This leads to
the belief that the employees have decided that
the present is the most opportune time to strike
and that if they delay they probably will not
have such chance again in years
Their reasoning in this particular seems sound.
The railroads enjoying an unprecedented
traffic and their profits are large 1t is reason
able to suppose they would take almost any step
to prevent tie-up that would halt the heavy
business and big profits. There are many indi-
cations that now is the time to strike and this
seems to be the chief reason for the threatened
strike.
1t does not matter, apparently, that a strike
would paralyze commerce, throw thousands out
of work and infict incaculabe hardship on mil
hons OF persons who have no voice in the con-
troversy The only thing that seems to matter
is that the employees believe their demands are
just and that they intend to force compliance
to their demands, whatever the cost to them
scelves and Others
strike would produce chaos and if it was
not speedily ended it is more than likely that
the Federal government would have to step in
and take temporary control of the railroads. This
was done by the French government when the en-
ployes sought to tie up the lines of that coun-
try. Such would not be taken except
in desperate circumstances, but the nation would
soon find itself in desperate circumstances if a
strike was declared
The railroad companies have offered to arbi-
trate or to refer the case to the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The representatives of the
employees apparently intend to refuse both offers
Unless the demands of the strikers are unreason-
able why should they fear to lay their case be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commission? This
commission probably knows more about the rail-
road situation than any other impartial body in
the country.
There is a law under which such contro-
versy may be settled and in the Department Of
Labor is the machinery for carrying out the law
If that machinery fails then President Wilson
may properly take a hand in the situation and
act according to the best interests Of the most
people.

England PAYS.

England has been saved in this war from the
worst results OF military unpreparedness. Her
allies have fought the Germans on land while
a big British army was being built up. We in
the United States might not be given so much
time in case of the sudden outbreak of war.
Kept her cities comparatively safe and her trade
| routes open But even with her fleet and her
allies, England is now put in position where she
land lost IN those first weeks of the war, when
she was able to give France but small and
inadequate asslstance.-Cincinnati Times-Star.

From Dream to Reality.

-. For two years Germany has battled furiousIv
Victory has followed victory. Her arms seemed
,,rd' lnylnelbie' her foes always too slow and too
uncertain to meet her magnifcently organized
attacks Thousands OF miles have been brought
beneath the rule of her war lords; her own terri
tory has been held inviolate
And yet, after all this, the dream that lured
her on seems fading before her eyes 1t is
beginning to dawn on the German people that
while their generals have been winning battles
they have been losing the war. The enemies
that ought to be weakened, discouraged and de-
fcated, appear to be stronger than ever better
equipped, better supplied and better co-ordinated.
The hight that should be over by now is. in
truth, only beginning.-Chcago Post

King George, on the second anniversary Of
the day that England took up arms to resist the
violation of the neutrality of Belgium, sent a
message to the King of the Belgians saying:
"The united efforts of the allies will liberate Bel
gium from the oppression of her aggressors and
restore her to the full enjoyment of national and
economic independence" Apparently Germany is
going to pay for the restoration of Belgium, but
who is going to pay the men, women and chill
dren thrown from the happy pursuits of peace

The conference of the Progressive leaders in
Indianapolis denounced as traitorous the action
OF the Progressive National Committee in endors-
ing Chares F. Hughes for the Presidency. This
recalls that about four years ago these who
now shout traitor" were themselves so styled
for their nomination of Col. Roosevelt How
ever these so-called traitors who call others
traitors seem to have recorded one act of wisdom
in their conference by deciding not to call an
other convention and granting permission to all
Progressives to vote according to their indi-
vidual judgment. This action may be interpreted
as the last gasp of the dying Moose.

ing that he insists on the withdrawal OF Ameri-
can troops before permitting his commissioners
to open negotiations for a settlement. The ar

the border The State Department apparently
is willing to ignore his silly efrontery while the

Every person who has sincere interest in the
progress, development and welfare of the Dis
trict hopes that the District appropriation bill
will not fail of passage. The bill was submitted
to the conferees yesterday with number of diff
ferences to be settled. Chief among these differ
ences is the half-and-half plan of appropriating
for the District. The Senate stands firmly in
favor of the plan. The House stands as firmly
in opposition. The situation presents a remark
able spectacle 1t is seldom that two such great
legislative bodies hold such divergent views
Should it be impossible for the differences to be
settled the District will suffer. Many residents
OF the District likewise will suffer An instance
may be found in TIE of police and iremen
who would have to await adequate pensions for
probably another year after half score of years
of waiting.
