course. be interfered with. That feet
is the foundation upon which the
whole alliance rests. But, security
being assured by the existence of the
grand feet, all the rest can be thrown
in to secure that decision in the war
at sea on which. 1t is becoming more
and more apparent, the complete over
throw OF German military power de-
pends.
'The fact that Admiral Sims has
Joined in conference with Sir John
Jellicoe and the naval representatives
OF France and Italy is the most hope
full sign We have yet had of the in
tention to use sea power to the full.
THE question of the Belgian coast
must be settled; but it may, perhaps.
be settled by purely land action.
Greater interest attaches to the pos
sibilities in the north. The absolute
need of security in the North Sea has
up to the present compelled us to
leave the German control of the Bal
tic practically uncontested.
"As a consequence, the Germans
have been able to exploit and ter
rorize the Scandinavian countries.
But the great accession of force
brought about by the adherence of
the United States to the cause of free
dom and law at sea ought now to
bring immunity to an end.
THE small states which fringe the
sea board of Europe can be in little
doubt as to the consequence to them
of German victory. or even an in
| conclusive peace which did not Danish
the German methods of sea warfare
from the earth. The national life or
Denmark would not be worth IA
moments purchase. The control Of
the Belts and Sound would pass to
Germany, and the economic life or
| Norway and Sweden would be
strangled. Holland has already been
jockeyed out of the left bank of the
Ems. Would she expect to keep con-
troll of the mouths of the Scheldt?
THE fate OF Belgium was a painful
object lesson so long as the allies
seemed incapable of affording protec-
ton. But. with the United States in
the war as the protector of the rights
of neutrals at sea, and with the pre-
ponderance of military power now
possessed by the allies, there is a good
guarantee against the manifestations
of 'frightfulness.'
'On the other hand, the British
blockade, re-enforced by the American
embargo on exports TO neutrals, must
inevitably affect the trade of these
countries. They have their choice Of
placing themselves behind the block
aiding line or in front of it. They can.
IL they will, aid. rather by their posi-
ton than by their armaments. in put
ting down the monstrous and lawless
oppression from which their sea-borne
trade and the lives OF their nationals
have suffered so cruelty.
Sea power will only be effectively
used il 1t is used to deploy the forces
OF the alliance along a new line with
the definite objective of striking at the
| enemy's vitals. AS the hope of the
Germans is confessedly pinned to the
! submarine campaign, there can be no
question but that a successful blow at
their naval power would prove the
shrewdest blow we could strike them. %

! tary Wilson on Unionism.

For the purpose OF informing busi-
SIS men OF the country on the de-
pred policy of the government with
yard to labor matters in connection
n the war, a bulletin has been is
ID by a committee Of the Chamber
P6f Commerce of the United States
(which Is cooperating with the Coun-
ell OF National Defense. 1t is the re-
suit of personal investigation made by
Waddin Catchings. Of New York
chairman Of the committee
II is said when the President. Sec

administration desires information or
advice with regard to some labor
problem, reliance is had upon the Sec
retary Of Labor. Consequently, IL Is
the opinion OF the committee there
should be widespread knowledge of the
3Secretary's official statement concern
Ting his general position regarding Ia
Dor activities during the war and con-
troversies between employers and en-
ployes during this time.
With regard to the organization OF
unions, the Secretary said. the bulle-
tin states. that speaking solely for
himself. his attitude was that:
Capital has no right to interfere
with workingmen organizing labor any
more than the workingman has a
right to interfere with the capitalists
organizing capital The two are on a
parity on that point, and so my feel
.ang Is that in the present emergency
4he employer has no right to interfere
with you in your efforts to organize
S.the workers into unions, Just as you
fhave no right to interfere with capi-
talists organizing capital into corpora
fspns- II you can get a condition
Where efforts to organize the workers
are not interfered with and where a
scale of wages is recognized that
maintains the present standard Of liv-
ing. 1t occurs to me that for the time
being no stoppage Of work should take
place for the purpose Of forcing recog-
milton of the union"

New York. Aug. 26.-Demand for
freebooters, flibusterers and pirates
of various degrees of legality is at a
low ebb. The war has killed both the
call on these gentry and the supply
of them. Adventures of the whole
world, almost to a man, are in the
armies fighting the great war. Many
have fallen. At the same time inter-
national expeditions do not have the
free and easy time Of it they enjoyed
in the past. Armed enterprises start
ing inside their boundaries are frown-
ed on more than of yore by United
States and all other strongly organ
ized governments.
These were the facts learned when
it became known kind of magazine

lieyed to have been the last clearing
