ON AN
AMERICAN
SHIP

my's prestige a deadlier blow than
did Washington's armies by land. It
was in merchants ships authorized as
privateers that Capt. Jonathan Har-
aden, figure to stand beside John
Paul Jones, captured a thousand
cannon upon the high seas, and he
took. them all in the smoke and
Tflaee of gunpowder.
Just why this stanch American
doctrine was revived against Ger
raany is easily understood by recall
ing certain events Of the last two
years. It was postponed because tie
Imperial government gave promises
which were intended to be broken.
The United States was reluctant to
believe that the craftsmanship Of a
great nation could be built wholly
upon peifidy. dishonor, and brutal
| ity. The PLEDGES of decent behavior
wrung from Germany after the trag-
sey were wantonly violated in the
COMA.
The German announcement that
ali merchant ships would be sunk
without warning inside barred zone
was the conclusive proof that all in
terilational law was regarded as a
scrap of paper. This Unrestricted
submarine warfare" was nisnamed.
1t was piracy, pure and simple. and
a Kind of base that Capt. Kidd
would have blused for it. The Presi-
dent of the United States, by means
Of power which he has the right to
use without any special authority
granted by Congress, notified all ma
tions through the Department of
State on March 13 that ain view of
the arr ouncement of the Imperial
German government on January 81,
1917, ti,at all ships, those of neutrals
Included. met within certain zones of
the high seas, would be sunk without
any p:ccaution taken for the safety
Of the persons on board, and without
the exercise of visit and search. the
government of the United States
has determined to place upon all
American merchant vessels sailing
through the barred areas an armed
guard for the protection of the YES
sells and the lives of the persons on
board"
Now, the distinction was very
carefully made, that these were noe
armei ships. but merchant ships
carrying armed guards. This was be-

the first sergeants arc to the regu-
lar army. Their officers may have
been reluctatn to see these drafts
leave the fleet but the spirit of the
gunners was quite otherwise. In
stead of drilling in harbor they were
to put to sea and get the chance of
action. They were the enemy Of the
shipmates left behind. Shooting up
submarines was tho proper stuff.
Some sport to that!
That ships were sinking every day,
with never an opportunity to figat
hack. torpedoed from ambush. crews
blown up in their hunks or engine
loonis, or. shelled in the boats. or
freezing and drowning hundreds Of
miles from land failed to check the
enthusiasm Of these eager blue
jackets. A gun properly trained on
Fritz and his submarine would blow
him to hades. where he belonged.
It was a sport they knew nothing
whatever about, nor could their Off
GERS teach them the lessons Of ex-
perience.s A target so small. elusive
and momentary as a submarine was
