horror list OF the Lusitania. II was
sunk by a submarine without warning,
going down FIVE minutes after II was
hit by the torpedo. One American life
was lost, that OF Consul McNeely. So
far the dispatches fail TO state whether
II was an Austrian or German sub
marine that fired the torpedo, but
either the one government or the other
is guilty OF a criminal violation of
solemn pledges formally given TO this
government.
II is somewhat singular that the
Persia disaster should follow on the
heels of the Ancona. as did the Arabic

John 4. Sleicher in Leslie's.
Fear and love are the dominating
passions of the human mind. II there
were no fear OF punishment. anarchy
would prevail. But for the love OF
God in the human heart, not a church
would be open.
Service from fear is never helpful.
II leads to evasion and deception. IL

counts loyalty and banishes fidelity
forever.
Fear is the companion OF dstrust
and the father OF despair. II is as
far removed from love as pole from
pole. Fear never lifted a life nor
saved a soul.
The rule Of fear is temporal. It lasts
as long as the victims feel that protest
is useless and rebellion impossible. But
even the slavery Of fear has an end,
for the worm will turn"
Love is the opposite OF fear. Its
dominion Is wider. its scope universal.

self. Idleness and wasteful leisure are
not the characteristics of the Ameri-
can gentleman. and we can well be-
lieve that England was very attrac-
tive to Mr.. Aston for the exploitation
OF his only accomplishments.
But there was something else in the
eXpatriated Astor mind-the English
peerage. After many rebufs and dis
appointments he realized his hopes in
being made Baron by King George
on New Years day. an honor that was
simply wrenched from the throne by
the lavish use OF money. and not be-
slowed as recognition Of any distin-
guished service 10 the crown or the
country. Mr.. Aston can now sit with
the peers of the realm, and dispense
his sneers at American democracy II
he wants to. The United States will
try to get along in spite Of this evil
dence OF its Reputation. We have an
idea that II will get along better. II
has no use for drones. Mr.. Astor as
citizen was not overly desirable. lie
was nothing but an automatic accumu-
lator OF wealth. The community Of
New York worked for him: he toiled
not, neither did he spin. but here the
comparison with the lowly flower Of
the field ceases. He added nothing TO
this country's greatness or his city's
fame. He did not build his great show
hotels; New York city built them
through the increasing value Of his i'm
mense real estate holdings. and for
which William Waldorf Aston himself
never paid cent. But is Mr.. Astor
the gamer by his expatriation? Does
he not relinquish a sovereignty to be
come a subject II he is satisfied by
the exchange why should We worry.

Americans achieved their place
In foreign commerce by sheer
weight OF natural advantage in
the production of raw material
and the fairness OF the soil: this
position sustained and made even
more secure by willingness TO
use any and all methods. no mat
ter how daring. to cheaper the
cost OF production These methods
were successful in all lines where
the production OF the finished
product was based upon an I'M
limited supply of cheap raw ma
terial, cheap fuel and cheap
transportation. These advantages
outweighed the higher cost of
labor.
As soon as the war comes to an
end, and no matter how II may
end. the great Clree-cornered
struggle for supremacy in foreign
trade will be resumed BY the three
nations. America will find that the
competitive power of the English
and the Germans, especially the
latter, viii be as great as ever
and that their determination to Sc
the trade Of the world is stronger
than before because back OF this
determination will be the inspir-
alton of necessity.
The one great secret of the con-
tinued increase in volume and
value of English foreign commerce
Is the freedom of English industry
and comerce TO follow the dictates
OF those who sch-sne and plan for
It's expansion, individually and in
groups. Strange To say. In spite OF
plans OF organization and methods
Numerically opposed to those OF
the English. the Germans have
achieved their great industrial and
commercial position through the
exercise OF this same principle of
freedom OF operation. Such sue
cess as has come TO American for
eign trade has been achieved in
spite OF an amount o. restriction.
legal and otherwise. which, but for
the momentum given by the
weight of natural products out
pouring from every State, would
have strangled the greatest efforts
towards an expansion which Is
made only in the case OF competi-
ton with the best and boldest for
eign traders in the world. those
OF western Europe.

FIRST ARTICLE

Much has been said recently
about the commercial advantages
that will accrue to America from
not having been at war. IL is as
sumed that i'm consequence OF a
continued neutrality America will
be fully equipped and able to step
in and take the trade OF erstwhile
rivals because of their war-weak-
ened condition. To expect any
such course OF events is abysmal
folly and to indulge therein is TO
rob ourselves OF what real ad-
vantage can accrue II We make
our deductions with clearer vi
sion. Certain slight temporary
advantages may be made appar-
ent. but these advantages will be
slight and few OF them perma-
nent.
At the beginning of the war.
the three greatest trading nations
IN the world were the English.
German and American. The Eng
lish had built up their great trade
after several centuries of foreign
VI " AAANu the bIlllEn
Empire is the result. creating a
foreign trade so great that the
prices of many of the worlds sta
pie products, few of which were
produced in Great Britain. were
liked in London. II was a trade
built upon solid foundations; no
subsidies. no Government assis-
lance other than diplomacy. no
preferential rates and even little
or no cooperation among British
traders.
The Germans had reached n
point where they challenged the
Americas for second place. They
had accomplished this in practi-
cally twenty-five years by the
most wonderful exhibition of
team work between the govern
ment finance. science and indus
try the world has ever seen. Nat
ural advantages were fostered
and utilized to the utmost. Great
natural disadvantages were over
come by artificial means until
they were almost forgotten by
Germans. as well as others. and
Germany was rated as a fully
equipped and powerful bidder for
first place in the trade OF the
world.
