AMERICAS contribution to the cause
"A of commerce by the Atlantic trade
routes must sooner or later be the build.

chant marine available for trade with
England and France is not large enough
to be of decisive aid to them by its activ-

tiy. But 1t must always be remembered
that the submarine campaign is launched
against allied ships not only in the hope
of winning the war for Germany, but
also to cripple the English merchant
marine so that shippers will depend on
German vessels after the war.
This is what the cry of the English,
Ton for ton," means; that England will
not make peace until the Germans have
replaced or given the equivalent of every
ton they have sunk. But that will not
help matters. For Germany, deprived of
her ships. will still need ships after the
war, no matter what flag they may be
under. 1t is a question Of huge net loss
to the worlds total tonnage. If Germany
does not win, she is at least assured of
one revenge upon the whole world. unless
America hastens to build She will have
placed an unprecedented, In some cases
prohibitive. tariff on exports, through
the agency of high freight rates.
Reports from London say that the
Gripping of after-the-war trade is more
seriously feared than possible starvation.
A great shlpbuilding campaign in Amer
lea in the next year would do much to
take the heart out Of Germany. She can

MR.. SCHWARTZ ANSWERED
To tho Editor Of the Eucntn0 Ledger:

To the Editor OF the Evening Ledger:
Sir-In your issue of March is a letter
written by Ruprccht Schwartz, stating that
he can't understand why all Irishmen are
not supporting England, against Germany,
in the present war.
Now, Mr.. Schwartz. have no preference
between the Hohenzollern dynasty and the
SUCCESSORS of the infamous King Henry and
Anne Boleyn, but being an 1rishman
having lived and learned there. ! am In
position TO tell you why Irishmen are not
anxious to fight for England.
In the first place, Irishmen are not
anxious to fight under officers who refused
to dsarm the North of Ireland men, who
raised and armed about 100000 men with
the avowed intention Of resisting home rule,
which the Liberal Government, with the
assistance of the newly enfranchised work.
ingmen of England, had passed. Those
officers are chiefly the sons of landlords,
who hold tens of millions of acres of land
in Great Britain and ireland.
About 5000 Nationalists in Ireland
Joined tho army at the solicitation of John
Redmond and some of tho Catholic clergy,
hoping that the English might keep their
word about their boasted fairness to small
nations but only five per cent of the officers
put in command of those men were Nation
elists, or Catholics. so the wearing of Eng
lands hated red coat became as unpopular
as before the war.
Ingratitude is not trait of the Irish,
as history can tell. After the Treaty of
Limerick, a treaty which was broken be-
fore the Ink with which 1t was written had
dried, as. indeed, all other promises by
England to Ireland have been, Irishmen
fought for France, against England. from
Dunkirk to Belgrade winning many VIC
tories, the most decisive being at Fontenoy.
France gave the poor Irish exiles an asy-
lum when they were prosecuted in their
own country.
1t is a satisfaction to know that this
war will probably see the end of kalsers
and Kings in Europe. as the working people
of England are tired of supporting lot
of titled darlings. most of them descend
ants of the soiled doves of the English
court. The same applies to the German
nobility. and when the war will be over,
instead of the Germans shouting, "Hoch the
Kaiser !" they'll put him in hook, and we'll
send George along to keep him company.

in his heart, would destroy vacant lot by
placing a building upon it.
These may seem harsh terms to use
against n class of men who enjoy the re-
spect and confidence of the community, but
IL they are not wicked and criminally de-
signing, why should extra charges of taxa
tion be placed upon them for doing what we
make pretense of believing is a meritorious
action?
Let us suppose A and b the possessors
or two building lots adjoining each other
and of equal value. Both of these lots have
from time immemorial grown nothing but
weeds, or in other aspects. remained ugly,
insantary and absolutely useless
A gets tired of this and causes a dwelling
Gao lie of giving a desirable home to sew

mechanics and laborers to get busy in useful
employment. Immediately our taxation
claps an extra tax upon him over and above
the fine assessed against his neighbor b.
Would 1t not be a more equitable proceed
ing for us to reduce the tax laid upon
and make up the difference from an extra
TAX on b. A puts land and labor to work,

AN ERROR CORRECTED

An article published in these columns on
January 22, 1917, concerning the bitter
mayoralty contest then being waged in
Coatesville Pa. set forth that W. l.. w
Jones one of the candidates for Mayor, had
been removed from office ION charges of en-
bezzlement."
AS matter Of fact Mayor Jones was not
removed from office on charges of embezzIe-
ment. His removal was because of technical
defects In the election machinery, for which
no was in no way to blame Certain charges
OF lrreguarty had been made against him.
at or about the time of his removal from
office, but they were not the cause of his
removal These charges were tried in the
courts of Chester County and Mr.. Jones was
found mot guilty"
The error contained in the EVENING
LEDGER article consisted IN improperly
connecting the removal of Mr.. Jones from
office with the then pending charges.
