ing the boldest and the most inde-
cent Of all his ventures to iniure the
United States and to benefit his own
government He desires to make US
the servants of Germany and to de-
stroy for all time the lOng-standing
bonds OF amity between this country
and France and Great Britain
But even as he is attempting to do
this Count Won Bernstorm does not
disguise his contempt for the timid-
ity OF the Administration. Again and
again in recent days he has authorized
the statement that any concession
Germany makes now will be condi-
tional. He has authorized the state
ment that the immunity from muir
der bestowed upon American citizens
on the high seas will be withdrawn
hereafter unless the United States
shall meet the German expectations
in dealing with the British blockade.
Germany. for a price, is to stop assas-
sination for a time, but If she cam
not get a sufficient price for tenn
porary recognition OF the ordinary
considerations Of civilization, she is
going back to murder.
This is the Bernstorf thesis. He
believes that if he can only persuade
Mr. Wilson to accept his proffered
victory, so necessary to Mr.. Wilson's
political fortunes, he will then have
Mr.. Wilson in his power. Il will
lie i'm his power to procure another
submarine incident, and he believes

would reduce Mr.. Wilson's victory to
ashes, will make the President his
reluctant but obedient tool in an at
tack upon the British blockade.
Such are the facts: Why will Mr..
Wilson and his advisers not recog-
nize them? Why will they not abon-
don useless discussion with a govern
ment devoid Of faith. honesty or even
ordinary decency? Why will they not
repulse the shameful offer now made
and send Bernstorff home? Ger
many is playing with the United
States and it is playing with Mr.. Will
son. Il has taken his measure and it
has resolved to profit by his weak
ness And II Mr.. Wilson thinks that
he will ever obtain the German-Amer-
4 lean support, he is making the great
est mistake in his whole life. He
has lost that forever. Why will he
continue to throw away the American
support that he might always have
had. that he might still command; /;
why will he repulse the Americans,
who without regard to party were be-
hind him last summer and stood with
him until his position became utterly
impossible, merely in the hope OF re-
gaining what has been lost irrevo-
cably?
/ No man ever had greater oppor-
/ tunities to rally the support Of a ma
ton than Woodrow Wilson. No man
ever had a better chance to. command
the support Of all men of all parties,
whose fundamental allegiance was TO
America, than the present Chief Ex-
ecutive. Why does he continue to
; repulse those who hold America their
first duty in the vain hope of regain
ing the support of those who put Ger
many first and will make the single
condition Of their support the demon
stration by Mr.. Wilson that he places
German above American interests?

Editorial Opinion
JAPANFSE TESTIMONY As TO THE
EFFICIENCY OF THE SEAMENS


EfflNlLNNA VI LID HH-'" ' -
LAW.
From the New York Sun.
A special correspondent of the
Evening Post. writing from Toxic un-
der date Of December 26 of last year.
presents the subioined eXultant Jap
anese version of the shipping situa-
ton in the Pacific Ocean:
"The merchant marine of the bel
liqerent nations vanished almost
wholly from the Pacific during the
early days OF the war; and then
came the seamens bill at Washing
ton. which at one fell swoop wiped
American shipping from Oriental
waters, giving Japan just the oppor-
unity she needed TO consolidate her
shipping lines and get control OF the
routes. leaving her in a better posi-
ton TO meet the enormously in
creased demand for bottoms.
Europe and America, especially
the latter, are almost wholly depend
ent on Japanese ships to carry their
large annual imports from the Orient
as we'll as to carry their still larger
exports to the Far East.
AT one stroke the American gov-
ernment swept $4,000 tons of Ameri-
can shipping from the Pacific and
what would exporters have done had
not Japan been ready to step into
the breach?"
The Posts correspondent informs
MS that with the shipping routes so
largely in their own hands there has
been a natural decrease in European
and American trade with a CORE
spending increase in Japanese eX-
ports" Prosperity has been conferred
on the transportation companies and
on the Japanese shipyards The legis'
lation fathered by La Toilette anC
signed by Wilson has contributed
nightly TO their well being. Ough

sued the other day forecast OF the
latest German Lusitania cOmmunica-

that the dispute was as good as set
tied, before Mr.. Lansing and Presi-
dent Wilson had seen the note itself.
How long does one suppose an am
bassador at Berlin would have been
permitted to take such liberties?
When the United States Government
had at last plucked up its courage in
the Arabic case and the State De-
partment was talking about a sever
ance of diplomatic relations with Ger
many, Count Won Bernstorff put out
through THE Evening Sun" the most
amazing statement ever issued by an
ambassador OF one country resident
in another. He warned the American
Government in unmistakable Ian
guage that its course meant war. In
stead OF meeting such an arrogant
and impudent menace with frmness,
the Administration again lost it's
courage and its firmness disappeared
overnight.

earth more contemptuous Of Mr. Will

SWISS AND GERMANS.

TF the sentiment in Lausanne may be accepted as
the sentiment throughout Switzerland. then GER
tainly the Germans have little hope Of obtaining either
aid or comfort from the Swiss. The government is
doing it's utmost to suppress the disorders and to
maintain the neutrality Of the small but plucky AL
pine republic Everything indicates, however, that the
sympathy of the people is with the Quadrupe Entente
and that it will hesitate to fame whenever
provocative act is committed by the Teutonc alli-
ance.
Thus far there have been three anti-German out
breaks in Lausanne. In the last the German flag
raised the German consulate in honor Of the birth
day Of Emperor William torn down and rioting
followed. In view of the position occupied the
tnent by Switzerland this attitude by the Swiss
pie should be very pleasing to Great Britain, France
and Italy.

ExAspERATINC PROCRAsTINATION.

THE German disposition TO play fast-andoose with
the United states in relation to the demands made
by this country to the destruction of the Cunard
liner Lusitania and consequent loss OF life does not
meet with favor this side Of the Atlantic.
The Americans have been very patient but their pa
tence Is about exhausted. The crime was such
ood-boodod and heartless and affected the lives
and happiness of so many Americans that Germany
must dlsavow it or take the consequences Nor must
she persist much longer in her policy Of procrastna
ton. It has become exasperating.

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
GOT THEM GUESSING.

From the Delmar News-Herald.
The recent survey Of the town to as
certain the cost of installing a sewer
age system in Delmar. has got the
town people guessing Some are wor
rying about it and claim that the town
is not able to put in the sewerage
system now. But if we wait until the
town has the money to pay for the
work when finished, we will probably
never see Delmar a sanitary town as
il should be, and the town needs this
improvement; we had just as well
have il now as TO wait five years. We
would probably be no better prepared
then than we are at present, so let's
have a good thing while it is on the
minds of the people.
We can never have good streets as
long as the town is expecting to in.
stall sewerage, as it would money
wasted to put our streets in a good
condition and probably in a year or
so tear them all up to put in a sew
erage. Why not go ahead and put
in the sewerage and then put our
streets in first class and lasting con-
dition.

How much longer is il to be before
timid, oredulous. politically embar-
rassed Administration at last wakes
up to the fashion in which il is being
used to serve the purposes of German
diplomacy and to act as catspaw
for the adroit German Ambassador in
this country?
Germany has murdered American
men. women and children. Our Gov
ernment eight months ago demanded
that the act be disavowed and the
practice discontinued. The practice
was continued until British sea power
made il no longer profitable. Then
German diplomacy set out to fix a
price with the nation whose children
il had murdered for the abandon
ment Of the practice.
This price has never been hidden
from the Wilson Administration. and
there have been disquiehng signs on
many occasions that the Admnistra-
tion was about to make some sort OF
bargain with the German murderers.
because OF its own political troubles
at home.
In substance. the German Ambassa-
dor has said to Mr. Wilson time and
time again
For your own political advantage
you need a moral victory over Ger
many in the submarine controversy.
Well. Germany is prepared to give
you that victory. with perhaps a little
reservation on the question Of disa-
vowal, If, in return. you will attack
England and break her blockade
That is what the German negotia-
tions have amounted to; that IS what
they still mean. To Mr.. Wilson is
still offered a victory for his policy,
to be bestowed by that German Gov
crnment which has come to him with
its hands stained with the blood of
murdered Americans. il he only meet
the Germans half way and begin
against Great Britain a campaign far
more drastic than any that he has
ever conducted against the nation
which has deliberately slain Ameri-
can citizens and continued to slay
them while the killing was profitable
Only a weak administration could
listen to such a bargain. Only a poll
tically cowardly administration could
permit Count Won Bernstorff to re
main in this country. in the face OF
the evidence. published and not yet
published, which IL holds-evidence
revealing all of the interesting activ-
ities OF the German Ambassador.
The reason why the Administration
will not send Count Won Bernstorh
home is that he is not merely the
German Ambassador, but the master
of the German-American vote press
in this country. He has been permit
ted to remain despite his OFFENDING
because the Administration still cher
ishes the delusion that by permitting
him to remain it will save for itself

vote
There could be no greater folly. TC

in your timidity and to capitalize
your domestic political difficulties Is

ernment could do. And from the
outset this is what Mr.. Wilson hal
