United in Defense of Rights.

When war broke out between France
and Spain and France and Great Brit
ain neutrals became alarmed at the
dangers with which the maritime
rights were threatened, and the En-
press of Russia undertook to unite
them in defense of their neutral rights
This formed the basis OF treaties be-
tween Russia. Denmark, sweden, Hoi-
land. Austria and Portugal They
formed a league which under the name
of armed neutrality undertook TO pre-
serve iuviolatc the maritime rights OF
neutrals. These declarations We're rec
ognized by the treaty Of peace between
Great Britain and France and We're
the established law of nations when
the United States. in 1888. WAS recog-
nized as Independent by the powers of
the world.
While there was no indication that
President Wilson was intending to ask
other neutrals to join the United States
in armed neutrality. the fact that he
already had invited them to join this
country in breaking OFF diplomatic re-
lations with Germany aroused some
speculation as to whether he might not

1t was realized that there was ample
historic precedent for such action. and
that the situation of other neutrals

Armed Neutral in 1898.


The last time the United States was in
a state of armed neutrality was during
the war between France and England,
which ended with the downfall of Ma
poleon.
After many acts against American COM
rnerce bound for England, France. on jan
uary Is, 1898. decreed that every vessel
found at sea loaded with merchandise
produced in England or her possessions
could be made a prize.
Many American vessels were seized. and
in June 179s, President Adams began to
obtain from Congress broad authority to
protect American commerce ard to put
the United States in better position to
make war If it became necessary
In rapid succession laws were made
to increase the naval armament, to au-
thorize a provisional army, to arrest
and expel aliens, to authorize the de-
Tense of merchant ships against French
war vessels, and to enable the Presi-
dent to borrow money.
July Z, 1898, President Adams ap-
proved an act reciting that since treat
les repeatedly had been violated by
France. just claim for reparation re-
fused and a system OF predatory vio-
ience" had been pursued by the French
government, the United States were of
right freed and exonerated from the
stipulations of the treaties, and that
these compacts should not henceforth
be regarded as legally obligatory on
the government or citizens of the
United States.
Held Maritime War Existed.
Later in the same year further pro-
vision was made for augmenting the
army, and George Washington accept
ID the chief command. The Attorney
General held that the acts of France
and the legislation by Congress gave
linn the opinion that there not only ex-
Ssted "an actual maritime war between
FRANCE and the United States. but a
maritime war authorized by both ma
tons.
1sttled for many years. Thirty years
later France agreed to pay 25.000,00O
francs to satisfy American claims. al
though many years before that time
her depredations on American COM
rnerce and American reprisals had
ceased
The acts of Congress in 1898 were in
the aggregate somewhat like the bill in
troduced in the Senate Saturday by SEN
ator Fall. The President then was author
lied to instruct and direct commanders
of United States war vessels to seize
states any armed vessel found lowering
on the coasts of the United States and
committing depredations American
sh!ps They also were instructed to re-
take any captured American ship. An
other act authorized merchant ships to be
armed and TO take the same steps against
foreign war vessels Communication with
France was forbidden and French vessels
were prohibited from entering the ports
of the United States.

FIRE LAST NIGHT.
Two Houses Destroyed and Two Bad
~ Damaged on est Bartlettc st.

Two dwelling houses were burned
and two others ON West Bartlette
street were badly damaged last night
about six O'Clock. The fire originated
in the house of j. Franklin from Il
Kerosene heater and spread SO rapid
ly that before the fire department ar
rived and got into action the Frank
lin house and the one next to it, oc-
cupied by Annie Shaw, were beyond
salvage. Two other houses occupied
by Wesley Champion and Elias Jones
were seriously damaged. The furni-
ture and household goods Of the
families were also seriously damaged, ,
although most of the furniture was
removed from the houses. The moth
of j. Frankln's wife, a very old wo
man and helpless invalid was in
bed in the room in which the fire
started and she had a narrow escape
from death, as her daughter had
shortly before put her to bed for the
night and was in the back yard TAX
ing in clothes from the line when the
alarm was given. With the help of
neighbors she was rescued.
The total loss on the four houses is
estimated at about five thousand dol
lars. Franklin's house cost $4,000
several years ago and it was insured
for only 100000. The insurance on
the other houses is not known
j. Franklin asked that his thanks
be extended to all who rendered as
sistance in saving some of his furni-
tuure and to all others who have Of
fered aid in his time of trouble.

(By Charles Hanson Towne of The
Vigilantes.)
One of the heartening things to
come out of this war is the fact that
ones friends feel as we ourselves feel
about it. OF all the people 1 have
known, except some of Teutonic ORR
gin, only one has been pro-German.
1t is tribute 10 ones gift of selec-
ton, if nothing else. The one man
who was pro-Cerman has switched
since we entered the conflict; but
cannot trust him in the old way. For
the issues were the same in 1914 as
in 1917; and 1 cannot believe that he
who was blind then has been given,
through a miracle, sudden sight. He
is simply expedient; and 1 have no
use for expedient people. They are
the towards he world: the type
who would wee4r a mask and hope
never to have their deception dis
covered.
Also, l have German friends who
are violently ti-German-which is
wonderful indeed to know. And they
have been the kind of Germans whom
have always loved, and will con-
tinue to lovS--the Germans with
vision! the Germans with justice in
their souls; the Germans with right
eousness and high fame in their
hearts.
Thank God there are many of them
and many of them who are my pro-
Ally friends.
