Lord Beresford Tells House of Lords
That 255 Ships Have Been
Sunk in March.

London. March 2S.-L0SseS of mer-

100000 tons thusfar in March have re-
suited from war measures of the CEN
trail powers. Lord Charles Beresford
said in the house of lords. ..-
In debate on the British blockade,
Lord Beresfnrd said that with longer
DAYS and caImer weather the losses
would increase and that the public
ought to have the facts brought home
to il. The number of vessels destroyed
thus far this month was given by him
as 255.
Lord Beresford expressed the opln-
ion that captures of submarines by the
British were not at all equivalent to
Che new submarines the Germans were
launching. He believed the Germans
had more men and more food than had
been imagined in England. ~
Tho foreign office, he said. had too
much power over the navy, to the detri'

and neutral vessels for February. he

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION NOT
terH SLAVERY.

Mr.. Gompers refuses to be comfort
ed. He contends that the decision OF
the Supreme Court of the United
States, declaring that congress has the
power to enforce compulsory arbitra-
ton in labor disputes on interstate
railways, means industrial slavery.
Mr.. Gompers was never more mistaken
in his life. There is no law to'prevent
any man from quitting railroad work.
There neverNwill be such law in this
country. But, while that is true, the
interests of tie public demand That
no class of railway employees shall
conspire to interrupt the public SER
vice.
Since the commencement of these
troubles this paper has contended that
conspiracies against the public veal
would have to be tolerated until con-
gress provided some lawful and just
means for the settlement tof sdisputes
between the railroads and their renH
ployees, but not one moment longer.
Our contention has been in line with
the recent decision upholding the
Adamson law. Hereafter the train
men must not jeopardize the rights of
the pualic when they have differences
with their employers. They must sub
init their differences to court or an
arbitration board for settlement. They
must not. resort to the old-time strike
order for that will carry with it q
prison sentence.

THE GREATEST OF OPPORTUNI.
TIES.

No man of any country or OF any
age ever had as great an opportunity
to benefit his country and the cause
of humanity generally, as that possess
ed by the German Emperor at the
present time.
The people of all nations, those Of
England and France included, do not
specially dislike, distrust or fear the
German people but for good reasons
they do distrust and fear the kaiser's
military machine.
Germany entered into solemn treaty
agreement never to invade Belgium,
and France, relying upon that
treaty did not fortify her Belgium
frontier.
When the Kaiser disregarded that
treaty and sent his armies rushing
through Belgium, in an attempt to
capture Paris and destroy France,
he forfeited the confidence and respect
of mankind No country is willing
to enter into peace treaty with him,
because he can give no assurance that
he will consider a treaty anything
more than a "scrap of paper" when it
suits his purpose to disregard it.
The world is tired Of war, but it
can not safely make peace with the
Kaiser. The German people must
know that their Emperor, who does
not claim to rule as their represent
atives but by divine right, is thN bar
rier in the way to peace. ,,,.o,u
This condition opens up to Emper-
or William the greatest of opportuni-
ties. An opportunity for good with
out an equal in the history of the
world.
The Kaiser can end the war by fol-
lowing the Gear into private life.
No people are better qualified for
self government than the German peo-
pie Acting through their chosen rep
resentatives they could quickly ne
gotiate an honorable peace and COM
mence to bind up the wounds of war.
