"The Second Baralong Incident"

From time TO time in the last two
months the wireless stations Of the Ger
man government have been sending out
particulars relating to destruction Of the
submarine U-41 and the subsequent adj
ventures of two prisoners taken on that
occasion. The circumstances are sup
posed to establish what the Germans de-
scribe as "a second Baralong incident
The most elaborate account Of the af-
fair is contained in Oberleutnant Crom-
tons official report. which has just been
published. Il is long and full Of detail,
but it contains nothing Of importance
that is new. The main points are the
same as in the earlier reports, viz: %
That the British auxiliary cruiser hoisted
the flag Of the United States, which con
tinued flying throughout the action; (2)
that the British commander attempted to
ram a boat into which the German com
mander and a seaman had climbed; 90
that the two prisoners were i'll treated
after they were taken on board the Brit
jIsh ship and on several occasions since
then.
The first allegation was fatty denied by
the British Admiralty two months ago
The neutral flag, it was explained, was
employed quite legitimately to prevent the
German from submerging before he was
within range, but the white ensign was
Ihoisted before the submarine was fired
on. Oberleutnant Cromton insists that
this is untrue, for though, "to lac sure, the
flagstaff was turned down." he is certain
the American flag Continued flying"
The second complaint is ampifed by
way of illustrating the brutality of the
British sailor. 1t appears that when tho
Oberleutnant was struggling in the
water and called for help the men on
board the British ship only spat at him.
/ Gle notes, by the way, that she was 20C
feet from him at the time, so he was
probably out of range) After he hac
contrived to Chamber into an empty boat
where he was joined by the seaman Godau
the British ship approached him once
more. this time with a man in the bow
who "menaced US with his fist from time
to time This sinister apparition, to.
gether with the circumstance that "the
steamer did not reduce her speed" con
stitutes the evidence that an attempt was
made to ram the lifeboat And it must be
admitted that it is quite as convincing as
the evidence in the case of the Arabic.
However, il appears that the tist-shakei
was not very skilful. and having failed to
destroy Cromton and his companion, he
decided that the next best thing was to
rescue them both, which was accordingly
done. glass Of brandy was given "a
each prisoner, and then beds were made
for them in lockers placed in the poop,
Here the Oberlcutnant discovers another
atrocity. The lockers according to the
English account were about - feet long
by feet broad and feet high, and there
were plenty of blankets; but according to
the German there was no warm clothing

tice throughout the world" And Mr..
Wilson added that the United States
stood ready. and even eager TO CO
operate in the accomplishment of these
ends. when the war is over, with every
Influence and resource at their command.
We were discussing this proposition,
not any programme Cor enforcing peace
which may have been formulated by the
American League to Enforce Peace We
/ did not refer in any way to this associa-
tons peace enforcement programme
whatever II may be. We simply recalled
the fact that President Wilson had made
an address before the association last
winter, saying
This la passage from he peace
motel is TO some extent paraphrase of
the Presidents address last year TO the
American society which is promoting
the formation of an international league
for the enforcement of world peace. II
the passage quoted certainly com
mits the Administration to the princl-
pie of cooperation by the United States
in a peace concert which is to police
the world and adjust clashes between
nations by peaceful methods
Then followed the sentence saying that.
as final resort, force would be used
against those who refused to accept the
concerts mediatory decisions.
I -. L. ,lt hnld u
the adoption of the American society's
peace enforcement plan would not involve
an abandonment by the United States Of
the Monroe Doctrine. We have never
gone into that question. But the entry Of
the United States into any real league to
enforce world peace would inevitably re.
suit in the denaturation of the Monroe
Doctrine. 1t requires no great intelli-
gence to see that the United States would
have to submit all issues arising between
it and other nations on account of the
Monroe Doctrine to the judgment of the
peace concert And since the Monroe
Doctrine is a mere fat resting on military
force its status would be hopeless before
any mediatory world court.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis said
the other day that the Monroe Doctrine
was guarded" in every word of the
Presidents peace note. But that is a
unique Interpretation Of it. A more can
did view is to be found in recent article
in "The Louisville Courier-Journal," Of
which this is the concluding passage:
Nothing is clearer than the fact that the
President, as the President Of Humanity
rather than of the United States, medi-
tates a vast revolution in the foreign pol
icy of our Republic Wilson Doctrine
to replace the Monroe Doctrine-and it is
we'll that every step in the approach to
such a policy should be deliberately
weighed"
Every nation entering an international
concert to enforce world peace must by
that act renounce any peculiar national
policies which it has developed. That is
the price which must be paid for perma-
nent world peace. Nationalsm must be
subordinated to internationalism. There
can be no possible profit to Americans in
trying to run away from or obscure that
fact.

because one would be unable to put

off the helmet or if the gas mask fits
imperfectly the JIG would be up in
less time than it takes to write
about it
The gas mask is as important
piece of equipment to the soldier as
his gun and because the gases some
times come over suddenly and with
ont warning. there must be nothing
to interfere with their rapid adjust
ment. Often a man is struck with
the fumes and is compelled to place
the mask on with one hand, as he
must support himself because of i'll

and at such critical times especially
there must be nothing to interfere

For these reasons the knitters
