pronounce sentence. Non-contraband bear
ing ships are in no case to be molested.
If German war boats captured vessels at
tempting to run the blockade, as the Eng
fish do, if they sent the prizes to port for
adjudication-and Germany has proved
that this is not impossible, and also that a
humane Uwar can be effeceive-if Ger
many even warned the ships and placed
the crews in some place of safety, affairs
would not be at the ultimate resort be-
tween that country and this.
To debate the causes of the war, to moan
over the failure of the peace proposals, to
bubble that Germany did not break a
promise to the United. States as she did
not give one, has no bearing whatever on
the subject. Peace and war between
European countries are European prob
lens. Breaking promise is a German
problem. But the property and lives of
our citizens are an American problem
that and only that, is the one which Presi-
dent Wilson has set himself to solve
