Blue Monday

tFron The Pittsburgh Chronicle Telc0rophJ
Grouchness is more prevalent on Monday
morning than at any other time in the week,
and to such an extent that life is made dis
agreeable temporarily for many families and
for many co-workers. That such manifesto
tions OF III feelings are detrimental to private
and public interests is widely acknowledged,
but IL has remained for Dr. Samuel G. Dixon,
State Commissioner Of Health. to direct pub
lie attention to the Monday morning crouch
and to tell how it can be done away with.
"The majority Of people" DR.. Dixon says,
"are apt to fall into two general divisions.
One class tries 10 crowd too much into the
time between one weeks end and the begin
ming Of the next weeks labor. They take up
.heir business on Monday morning exhausted
and overtired instead of refreshed by the day
Of rest The other class goes to extremes by
overeating and underexercsing, and the re-
suit is equally unhappy
To these causes the doctor could have added
the hangover" from Saturday night for that
there is more dissipation then than during
any other night in the week is beyond dis
pute. This is followed by late rising on Sun
day morning and If the stomach will permit
the eating Of three meals, which are always
heavier on Sundays than on other days. The
remedy, then, lies with the individual, and II
consists in abstinence from liquor Saturday
night and less eating and more exercise
nothing better than long walk-on Sunday
By following this plan what is known as
"blue Monday" will be wiped Of the social
and business calendar and everybody will be
ft TO enter upon the duties OF the week.

A Growing Menace to Shipping

According to a statement given out by
the Marine Amt at Berlin, more than
400, 600 tons Of shipping were destroyed
by naval forces OF the Central Powers IN
the month OF November. or merchant
vessels Of the enemy the number is given
as 1873 Of 3l4.5O0 tons, the British tonnage
alone amounting 10 244,500; Of neutral
vessels, So Of $4,000 tons. The latter, 1t
is explained, "were sunk for carrying con
traband TO the enemy
There is TO reason TO suspect the com
pliers Of these figures of serious eXag-
geration. In the last four or five months
the activity of the German submarines has
increased prodigiously and it may be noted
that in the first ten days of December the
English papers announced the sinking of
no less than seventy-four ships. Indeed,
the average daily loss in the last two
months cannot he far short Of 10000 tons
at the most favorable computation. The
increase is not wholly due to improved
efficiency, though it may doubtless DE at
tributed in the main to the greater num-
her OF submarines at work and TO the SUI
periority Of the newer types; it is due in
no small measure to indiscriminste sink
ing of neutral vessels, among which our
own alone enjoy for the present relative
immunity.
The object of the submarine war is to
reduce Britain to terms by cutting off all
sea-borne supplies, and it is believed IN
Germany that this may be done; but 1t
can only be done by unrestricted attacks
on eli vessels, British and neutral, and the
weaker neutrals have been obliged to sub
init. The possibility of starving England
in this way is doubted by some competent
observers. Thus, Sir A. Norman Hill estt-
mates that in twenty-seven months OF
war the British losses have amounted to
about II per cent in tonnage, or less than
half of / per cent month, while the loss
in cargoes is calculated at O.49 per cent
Of the total carried. He concludes, there
fore. that "a los. in 500 blockade viii
never starve US" The disquieting circun-
stance, however, is that the submarines
are doing more and more damage, and that
no way has as yet been found to deal with
them effectively.
It is supposed that measures have been
taken to arm as many merchantmen as
possible, but the process is slow. 1t has
been pointed out already that thousands
Of guns and perhaps tens Of thousands OF
trained men would be required to equip
all ships according TO the standards re
ouired by many to-day. The value OF
even one gun in the stern has, however,
been pretty well established, for expert
ence has shown that the Germans are dis
inclined to attack vessels defensively
armed. But the guns used in the early
days Of the war are no longer sufficient
since those mounted in the later sub
marines easily outrange them. 1t is there
fore no easy matter to insure the adequate
armins Of the whole merchant fleet.

Settling Ireland in the Trenches

Sanguine observers continue to hope
that the brotherhood Of the fighting men Of
Ireland may somehow in the long run
bring about real settlement of the ques-
ton of Irish government. Yet there are
difficulties 10 be met that are not suffi-
GENTLY considered by these enthusiasts,
difficulties indicated, for instance, but
hardly expressed, if, indeed, apprehended,
bv Major William Redmond in his recent
remarkable plea in the House of Commons
lie appealed to his countrymen ito give
nm their memories of historical events" and
to devote their thoughts "to building out
of this war a new and better country
North and South, Catholic and Protestant,
based ON the fact that all we're Irishmen,"
and as fit TO govern their country as any
other race.
Major Redmond spoke out Of his own
cxner; ,nce. He had seen men of the North
and men Of the South together in the
trenches of France and Flanders, and had
found them friends. "Get them together
on the floor Of an assembly or where you
will in Ireland" he argued, land | am
sure il is the opinion Of all Of us that a
similar result will occur" In conclusion
he insisted chat in common honor and
honesty when they had sent the men out
there they were bound to support them IN
every way, and for the time being, st any
rate. to be absolutely united in giving that
support"
This is ali well enough, but unfortu-
rately the difficulty lies in supporting two
,,roups of Irishmen with extremely d.
vergent political opinions. II the Nation
alist group went to the war, as Major Red
mond saws, because they thought their
country WAS going to get sef-goyernment,
he others went with equal confidence that
new would not be forced out Of the
v,ion." as they phrase it, and with a posi-
tive promise from their leader that their
tights as citizens of the United Kingdom
would be maintained.
The difficulty is made plain IN the OBJ
servAtions Of Jealous FISHERMAN on
Major Redmond's speech This IS his crit
icism:

Discreet Patriotism

No one can possibly quarrel with Mr..
A. G. Gardiner for warning his London
readers that only Germany herself can
tell III she must have peace before the
next harvest" and that hence it behooves
them on the coming Of the New Year to
weigh carefully the danger of sacrificing
hundreds Of thousands Of men whose
death would achieve nothing but vain mil
itary ambition"
Many will agree with him that valor
must still be governed by discretion, and
since they are not sure Of the collapse OF
he Central Powers they will be disposed
10 take whatever terms are offered them.
For it is impossible TO controvert Mr..
Gardeners plain argument that there is
no assurance that our position for dictat-
ing terms next New Years Day won't be
inferior to our position to-day
The conclusion is that as peace is con-
dition much to be desired, so those who
DO not care to run risks ought not lightly
10 reject it now. Mr.. Gardiner insists, Of
course, on "a just peace and thus dis
arms all critics who might possibly fear
that what he was arguing for was a peace
dictated by the Kaiser and his confed-
crates. For, seeing he lays so much en-
phasis on justice, it is impossible for any
one to deny that the encouragement Of
further carnage would he a crime on the
part Of the Allies
Some Of Mr. Gardeners readers, how
ever, will not have forgotten that his
conceptions Of justice are peculiar. When
England began TO talk Of GermAny's In
justice TO Belgium there was no one who
tried harder to soothe the ruffled feelings
of his countrymen. eve are under no
obligation" he explained anxiously, ito
defend against all and sundry the neu-
trality Of Belgium by force Of arms, and
if there is a political case for doing so IT
has not yet been presented, nor do we
believe it can be made out He was at
great pains. too, to insist on the necessity
of the British abandoning France and Bel
GUM and delivering them over to Germany
by remaining neutral. EFF the British Gov
eminent does this he argued. at will do
the greatest service to humanity in his
tory. If it does not do it, it will have
brought the greatest curse to humanity in
history"
Not that Mr.. Gardiner is wanting in
patriotism. The very thoroughness Of his
patriotism accounts, indeed, for these SEN
tinents, as is shown clearly enough in
the following passage published in his
paper as final argument just before the
war broke out:
II we remained neutral we should be,
from commercial point OF view, in pre-
cisely the same position as the United
States We should be able to trade with al
the beligerents $50 far rs the war allows
trade with them; VIC should be able to
markets; we should keep our expenditure
down; we should keep on. o. debt; we
should have healthy finances.
It is only natural, then, that having
failed to keep his country out of the war
Mr. Gardiner should be solicitous 10 pro
tect her from further trouble and TO save
the remainder of the trade which has been
so seriously damaged by the folly of those
who failed TO see how they might have
enriched themselves by estimating correct
ly the value of scrap Of paper.

THRUST THE LAW ASIDE.
Cromwell Had His Own Views on the
 Rights of an Embassy.


 Nowadays the invasion of Q foreign embassy would be a serious matter. but in the days when Oliver Cromwell was lord protector of England there was no fine discrimination to favo" members of an embassy. When such members committed crimes against the law of the land they were held to the same accountability as though they had been natives.
 So it was that on July 10, 1853, Don Pantalcon Sa. a Portuguese nobleman. brother of the ambassador from that country to England and a knight Of Malta, was beheaded on Tower hill. He had killed an Englishman, mistak. ing him for another. The Portuguese took refuge with his brother, the anl. bassador. who claimed that by the law of nations his house was an tnviolablc sanctuary for all his countrymen.
 Cromwell sent a messenger to state that if the criminal was not given up to the civil authorities the soldiers would be withdrawn from guarding the embassy and the mob left to do as it pleased Every effort was made by the Portuguese and other ambassadors to save Don Pantaleon's life, but with out avail. Cromwell made no other re. ply than, Blood has been shed, aud justice must be satisfied "-Indianapo lis News
