ARMING VESSELS. - It seems
that The Day Book has gone over on
the side of the jingOs when it claims
that the president is right in arming
merchant vessels and should use
force to break the blockade. Besides
it is not quite neutral, either. If the
president thinks it necessary to arm
the vessels now, why was it not nee
essary before, when the U. S. was
shut off from commercial or any
other communication with Germany.

But simply obeyed all the statutes in

What wonder I sigh for the old-fash.
