SHIPS, NOT HEROES, NEEDED

Mr. Roosevelts warning that We must not
fight a dollar war" needs to be supple
mented by warning that we must not fight
n sentimental war nor superiluous war
nor a catch-phrase war nor war Of empty
gestures The first business before us is so
clear that it is mere confusion of thought
10 label il with some moralists phrase. The
limited States must insure the communica-
tions to France and England. If they are
cut we are impotent, We can raise armies
and make munitions without end-if they
cannot be transported to Europe they are
dead loss This is what Germany is count
ing upon She belieyes quite correctly that
IL she can destroy the worlds shipping
faster than it can be built. 1t doesn't matter
how many new enemies there are overseas
Germany could ask nothing better of us
than that we should turn our attention
from the shipping question on the theoret-
ical ground that 1t wasn't heroic We
couldn't mako a worse exhibition of our
selves than to forget the simple common
sense of the situation and lose interest in
the intensely prosaic but absolutely funda-
mental need for vast supply of ships
ONLY IL the submarine is checked can
Americas power be used. If the Atantic's
highway is blockaded the Allies are cut off
from their ultimate base of supplies. With
that highway open the chances of German
victory are ended.-The New Republic.

NOT FIGHTING BY THE BOOK
OF ARITHMETIC"

THE widespread and deep satisfaction
l. that President Wilson has based his
plea for war not solely on the mere eye
foran.eye accounting for submarine out
RACES, but also on the larger and more
spiritual principles of our democracy, Is
striking proof of the unshakable ideallsm
that abides In American hearts. Despite
the freouent structures on our greedy
commercialism," on our cold'blooded,
self.seekfng interest in the main business
chance. so often voiced by unthinking
critics, this nation has ever detested fight
ing by what Mercutio calls "the book Of
arithmetic"
All our history attests this. Perhaps
the sole blot on a record of wars, uncom.
monty large for a republic whose alb.
horrence of blatant militarism has been
repeatedly expressed by all her great
statesmen, is the conflict with Mexico In
1S46. A fair-minded retrospect shows a
leading cause Of that struggle to have
been the southern desire for an extension
of slave territory. But as a result Of
this knowledge there has always been less
public pride over the really superb ac-
complishments of Generals Scott and Tay-
lor against Santa Ana's armies than Of
any other brilliant military achievements
in the life of the nation.
Surely it was glowing ldealism-that
misrepresented quality whose mighty
force Is so continually discounted by
tyranny-which inspired US to take up
O., In 177H iptarna-
tional justice in 1912, for the suppression
of slavery by the North in 1851 and the
spiritual vision of State rights by the
Confederacy, and for the liberation Of an
oppressed people in 1898.
II is sometimes said that the sinking
of the Maine provoked the Spanish War.
True, 1t was the immediate cause of in
tensifying the strain of our relations with
Madrid. But the loss of our battleship
alone, especially in view of the fact that
responsibility for the disaster was never
convincingly fixed, could never have made
us interfere in the West Indies. Free Cuba
was the shining ideal which the men OF
nineteen years ago espoused And Is
there any page In history more re
than that which tells how Cuba was un
| chained?
The arguments Of opponents Of war to
| day. that the loss Of few American
| lives at sea may not be worth the death OF
perhaps many thousands Of our country
men, indicate a complete misconceptior
| of consistent national purpose.
Such observations are culled from the
