AMERICANS ON ENTENTE SHIPS

Contraband is not criminal blockade
running is punishable not by death, but by
confiscation- of cargo alone
according to the better practice-in the
case of neutral vessels.
Because these principles are imperfectly
understood, there is disposition in some
quarters to blame Americans for shipping
on merchant vessels bound for the pro-
scribed zone-an error into which so clear
a thinker as Ex-Governor Gilchrist falls
when he says, mo patriotic American will
ride on a neutral ship"
The same reasoning would declare that
mo patriotic American will ride on an
American ship" and "no patriotic Ameri-
can will dispatch an American ship" and
the United States is guilty of an unpatriotic
act if it gives clearance to an American
ship"
It is not a question of patriotism at all,
but of liberty. Americans have certain in

THE OVERT ACT.

Inasmuch as there were thirty-five Amer
leans aboard the steamer japanese Prince,
torpedoed without warning, and only one
aboard the California-no lives being lost
in either case-the former was thirty-five
times as great technical violation of
American rights as the latter. The fact
that the lone American was cook and the
thirty-five muleteers, has nothing to do
with the case Mules are no more contra
band than shells or wheat or oil.
But even before the Eavestone and the
California and the Manitoba and the Jap
anese Prince were sunk, the overt act" had
been committed Because of the German
announcement, the ST. Louis and the St.
Paul have not dared leave port. They, by
the way, are not contraband carrying yes
sels-a detail, however, of no Importance.
They and every American transatlantic
ship are barred from the seas and they are
b1ockaded as effectively in American ports
as if the German vessels.were investing our
coast and not the English. Every day in
port has meant the loss of thousands of dol
lars to their owners-and there is only one
light in which a government that guaran-
tees its citizens protection in property, as
we'll as in person, can view such condition.
To national prestige, the blow is Just as
deadly In 1912 the United States went
to war oyer sailors, and for purely senti-
mental reasons, Americans today would
prefer to make muleteers their cause than
milhonaires; but it is case of priority and
the shipping interests described were the
first victims of the abridgement
Inasmuch as our government would not
declare war, no act of CHASTITY violence is
needed to force it to measures looking tc

ing American ships, as we have already
pointed out, is the first step in that direc
ton; and announcement now comes tina

As things now stand, Germany has sim

does not necessarily mean war. Battl
fleets need not be engaged, armies need no

THE UNIVERSAL SERVICE BILL.

Though there is small possibility that
congress will act upon the matter at this
session, the senate sub committees pro-
posal to create military and naval force
brings the question of universal training
directly before the people, at time, too,
that could not be more opportunely chosen
for breaking down opposition to measure
of obvious necessity.
Denying naturalization until service has
been at least begun, closing government
employment to all who have not fulfilled
their obligations, or are exempt, and pro-
hibiting private employees from employing
any man who evades military service-be-
sides other penalties-the bill establishes
military training as duty of citizenship.
How 1t ever came to be regarded otherwise
is indeed a mystery, for self preservation,
the first law ofeEature applies to national,
as well as to individual life.
Enactment of the bill into law would
train 100000 men year. Every youth, not
nineteenth year; and they would be fur
loughed into a reserve for nine years after
the training period. After the first nine
year cycle, therefore, the United States
would have force of over 100000 men
who had received six months training, and
who would be subject to call in the event
of defensive war
Classes exempt are: Members of the
regular army and navy, the physically un-
| fit, those who are the sole support of de
pendent relatives, and members of religious
creeds which forbid them to carry arms
These latter, however, are liable to service
in the non-combatant branches of the army
Rich men could not hire substitutes to dc
their bit.
No change in the national guard system
is provided. Credit is given for preliminary
training in military schools
The principal difference between this uni
versa1 service bill and the one being pre-
pared by the general staff is in the amoun
of training deemed necessary. According
to the general staff, at least one year o
intensive training is necessary to fit a sol
der for duty
Another problem which has not been me
is that of officers To train 100000 mef
will require 1900 officers, half of whom
should be professional soldiers Under TIL
defense act, the full commissioned strength
of the American army will be $4,000 off

whom for training purposes, would weaker

These and other points are provided 70
in the universal service bill being prepare,
: by the general staff But whatever the de
ficiencies of the senate committees bill
at least represents a greater step forwar
than would have been deemed possible ST

With Villa growing stronger every

Drinking is increasing among fash

The bitter silence being kept by
Col. E. M. House suggests that he

at all, he will leak a clue.
The only thing that keeps Ambas-
