GERMANY'S COSTLY ERROR.
Richmond JournaD

While it is a grim joke on the
pessimistic German owners of in
termed ships that the damages they
have inflicted upon their vessels
must fall upon them, their reasons
for the destruction Of so much waltz
able property are readily apparent.
Germany had no doubt that in the
event of war her big steamships, in
termed in American ports, would be
used to send food supplies and NUM-
tions to Great Britain and might also
be employed as transports.
Later, it was officially announced
from Washington that, regardless of
war, all private property would be
respected, but the damage was done
and the too efficient Germans had to
admit they had blundeted. Had it not
been that the Kronprinzessin Cecilie
was nominally in charge of the
United States marshal, owing to It'll
cation, the facts. as elected at the
hearing of Captain Polack, might
have remained mere runfors. Evil
IDENTIFY. Won Bernstorff well knew that
the break must come, but even he
could not forsee that the United
States government would be re-
specter of private property. 1t Will
prove a costly error for German ship
owners, for, as we have previously
shown, in the wake of peace, the In
termed ships will not be ready to take
to deep water for several months.

MODERN COPPERHEADS.

While the great mass of the people
of the United States are naturally
incensed at the attempt to deny
American vessels the use of the
high seas and are ready to assert
their rights, there are some who
call themselves Americans who are
ready to pocket any insult or submit
to any injustice in order to avoid hos
tilities with an unreasonable foreign
power. The United States has ever
been infested with pacifists. We
had them in 1912 when Great Britain
did not suppose the United States
had any rights she was bound to
respect. We had them again during
the war between the states. They
were called copperheads, and wanted
hostilities brought to close at any
price. Their offspring are among
us in the twentieth century.

ton of grave doubt with many OF
the Virginia Representatives whether
or not they will be best serving the
prohibition cause in Virginia if the!

barring the shipment Of liquor into

and has only been in force since No

many persons in Virginia who have
formed drinking habits. They can
not be cured by legislation. Which
ever way We vote We will be mlsun'

and several of my colleagues,
frankly admit We do not know what

JUST CRITICISM.

Secretary of Commerce Redtield, IN
appearing before the House Commit,
tee on Appropriations, urging liberal
concentrations for the development
of American fisheries, sharply crltl'
cized Maryland and Virginia for then
neglect of the fishing industry in the
Chesapeake Bay and in the Potomac
James and York Rivers. He declared
fish nets clog the waters of the bay
and it's tributaries, making condi'
ton which is "the worst in the coun'
try" The secretary stated he has
been promised relief by Maryland.
: The. fishing season is less than
month away, and there is every rea.
son to believe that conditions similar
to those which have beset this section
for many years are again to be II
evidence-that is the bulk Of the shac
will be caught as soon as they enter
Chesapeake Bay, and if people living
as high up the Potomac as Alexan'
dria and Washington desire to in
dulge in shad they will be compelled
to pay fancy prices for them.
During the past two score or more
years complaint has been made tc
the Virginia and Maryland authori,
ties concerning this great injustice
We are glad to know that Maryland
is about to act. Why should not Vir'
ginia have taken action many years
ago?

BERLIN AMER1coNs CONTENT

Optimistic as to War Outlook, But
Germans Not So.
Copenhagen, Feb. 2O.-iAill Ameri-
cans arriving from Berlin, so far as
Americans are concerned, is little
changed since the departure of Am
bassador Gerard.
The Lokal Anzeiger, The Deutche
Tages Zeitung and several other
newspapers of Berlin and the prov
inces have prited unpleasant things
about America and Americans, but
there appears to be no disposition tc
make trouble for Americans remain
ing in Germany. The only lncon'
venience has been inability to gel
permission to leave the country. Even
this is noe felt seriously by large
part of American residents, who nave
determined to remain in Germany
regardless of developments and who
with the usual optimism of Ameri'
cans in a similar crisis, are becom-
ing convinced that matters will no

tured relations.
This, however, does not apear u

ing those in official positions, who
seem to believe that the two coun'
tries are steering toward actual hos
tilities and that there is very little
chance of ultimately avoiding war.

PHASES OF THE WAR CLOUD.

While not in better position To
know what is really going on IN the
diplomatic world than others, tne
Gazette never has viewed seriously
the strained relations between the
United States and Germany, enter
tanning the hope that the sens'ole
men at the head of both nations MIL
finally steer clear of actual hostfllties'
Germany must have known from the
beginning that the unreasonable &C.
mands of the imperial government
could not be complied with by neutral
nations. Hence the earnest protests
against her announced campaign Vi
ruthless summarizing which has gone
forth from both hemispheres was
doubtless expected. The fact that
unarmed American merchantmen &:e
arriving and departing from the pre-
scribed zone daily shows that the
threat of the Teutons is not beng
carried out.
1t was announced in Washington
yesterday that the President aid
defer his visit to the Capitol for the
present. This is significant.
One of the Washington papers to-
dav called attention to the fact that
the reaction of Berlin against it's own
"frightfulness" has already set in.
The sacrifice of American friendship
has been decreed by Hindenburg,
Ludendorff and the military caste
dominating German policy at the
present hour, but it does not follow
that the nation at large approves
of such program. The Ge>.n
people. may acquiesce in it, believing
in the assurances of Hindenburg that
submarine ruthless will bring the
war to victorious end What if, it
becomes apparent that the U-boat
campaign is doomed to failure?
What if it already is on the brink of
failure? Will not the Hindenburg
grip on Germany be to a certain eX
tent broken?
The administration is in possession
of information showing that the
British navy will soon attain large
degree of control over the submarine
menace. The problem confronting
it is: Is it better to adopt a drastic
policy with Germany now, or to
"await events" not inviting the bit
ter antagonism Of the peoples of The
Central Empires, but to deal patient
~ with them, to gain their conf
dence, and to further the interests
of democracy among them when the
time for peace negotiations arrives?
Should 1.-THE campaign show no other
tangible results than to align the
whole neutral world against Germany,
the Teutonic peoples will have some
thing to say, and it will be well if
the American people can then speak
to the Germans not as an avowed
enemy, but as restrained and pa
tient friend who was compelled to
break relations because of an AFRO
giant aatocracy that did not rightly
represent the people it ruled.
