SEED SHOULD

Home gardening will soon be
way. and there is, no better time
than the present to have vegetable
seed tested for their germlnatIve
| power. During a period OF great
! humidity seeds are apt to dcter1-
ate; some becoming practically
worthless. As an illustration,
some pepper seed have a gera
tive powers of 80 per cent, otHefy
but 10 per cent. Naturally, the 40
per cent seed will have to be sCwn
more than twice as thick as the
50 per cent seed on the same acre.
Also a seed that has low germina-
tive power usually produces
plant Of low vitality, which is like
ly to be crowded out by weeds.
or if survives. it will produce lit
tie, if any fruit, and this generally
of inferior grrde. On the other
hand. seeds having high germina-
tive power produce more vigorous
plants which give better results
in every way.
Seed sent to the seed testing

vidual or firm. This laboratory is

larger and more p0pulOuS coun-
tries than England. and both Of
ments which have long been heavy
customers Of ours and always at
peace with us.
Under the law of nations and the
express, written ratified agree
mcnts Of Paris, the Hague and
London. American neutral ships
have the right to voyage unmOleSt-
ed to Germany or to Austria with
cargocS Of food for civilian use
and with cargoes Of rubber, wool,
cotton. textile goods and other
articles which all the nations
agreed at the Hague to declare
inviolably noncontraband.
Yet if at any time during two
years past an American ship had
armed itself and insisted upon try
ing to take a cargo to a German
or Austrian port, it would have
been fred on and destroyed by any
British cruiser which saw it, unless
it first stopped and surrendered.
I'm order to avoid that kind of
catastrophe ships have not at
tempted to voyage TO either Ger
many or Austria, though both
countries would be eager Gus
toners of American ships,
Now, from the standpoint of
plain. hard-headed common sense,
we are unable to see where it is
patriotic and honorable for Ameri-
can ships to abandan the lucrative
trade with Germany and Austria
for fear of destruction by British
bIockadcrs and shameful and
to abandon trade with
England for fear of German block
aders.
Nor can anybody else show a
reason, other than a quibbling sea-
awyer s technicality, worthy only
of a sea-lawyer's intelligence,
Our shipowners have very pru-
lently avoided British capture and
destruction of their vessels by
keeping them out Of the forbidden
zones marked out by the British
Admiralty. and they will act pru-
lently and perhaps patriotically.
90, if they keep their ships out Of
he danger zones marked out by
he German Admiralty, and so re
move all danger of their own
ountry being dragged into war.
There is neither any standard of
onor nor patriotism nor self-inter-
st which does not apply with ca
city equal force, to the Interrupt
ion of American Commerce with
'ermany by the British and to
he interruption of American Com
lerce with England by the Ger
hans. |;
The arguement is made, Of
curse, that the Germans sink

TRUE PATRIOTS WILL NOT D o ANYTHING TO EN1BARRASS
THEIR GOVERNMENT OR WANTONLY TAKE RISKS
THAT MAY BRING ON WAR
(Atlanta Georgian.)

The neutral nations which de
clmed TO join the United States in
scvering relations with Germany
did so because they believe such
an act would not be neutral.
There is division Of opinion
and Sweden. Holland. Chile and
Argentina are as much incensed
over the British blockade and re-
StrlctiOnS upon neutraIS as they
are over the German submarine
blockade and restrictions upon the
neutrals.
The Georgian has pointed out,
time after time that the solid basis
Of league of neutraIS must be
firm opposition to ALL aggres-
sisions of ALL belligerants.
A league that would NOT USE
FORCE to stop the depredatiOns
Of the other would not be a ncu-
trail league. 1t would be a parti-
san league.
Now partisanship does not and
cannot make for peace.
1t makes ouly for more war.
Partnership cannot conciliate.
1t can only excite more anger.
The British blockade Of Ger
many, Austria and neutral Hol-
land. Sweden. Denmark. and Nor
way is as lawless as the German
blockade Of England, France and
Italy. .,U
Evidently the in jured neutrals
will not join league to resist the
Germain restraints upon neutral
commerce and not to resist the
British restraints upon neutral
commerce.
A neutral like Sweden, which
suffers almost entirely from the
unlawful blockade of its commerce
by England, would never join such
a league as that.
But we do not in the least doubt |
ALL neutrals would join a league
to enforce neutral rights equally
against the Allies and the Teutons.
Because that would be a fair pro-
gram neutral program and pro
gram that would benefit all neu-
trails alike.
We have al the time felt that
such should have been our own
course.
We have never been able to see
why the unlawful aggressions of
England upon our commerce
should not be resisted with the II
same force and determination that
German aggressions have been
resisted.
Nor can we yet see how such a
policy is exactly neutral. For eX- I
ample, our jingoes assert that it !
is a deadly blow at our honor and !
rights when our ships and our citi-
zens on foreign ships are hindered (
from voyaging to England. I
Yet for two years past not a
single American ship has been
permitted to voyage to Germany /
or to Austria, both of which are

and the sufficient answer, is that
the British have fired on nC
American citizen because nc
American ship has ever armed it
self and tried to run the British
bloc kade.
If Americna ships paid the same
heed to the German blockade that
they have paid to the British block
ade there would be no American
ships sunk and no American citi-
zens drowned by the Germans.
The German submarine blockade
is illegal, and the British cruiser
blockade is also illegal. The Brit
ish Order in Council that no
American ship can voyage to Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark or Holland
without first calling at an English
port and being searched, and that
the United States can only ship
just the amount of goods prescrib-
ed by the British Admiralty to
such neutral nations. is letter for
letter a copy of the British Order
in Council over which we went to
war with England in 1912.
That blockade and those orders
were illegal then and are illegal
now, but while our fathers fought
such insolence with learms-and
won their fight-we submit tame
ly.
If we were to act with scrupu-
lous fairness, we would either lay
an embargo or declare war against
both Germany and England for
identically illegal trespasses upon
our rights on the free seas, or else
we would put up with both until
they had ceased fighting and then
carry our case against both to an
international tribunal as we did
against England in the matter Of |
the Alabama.
The President is a historian, as
well as a statesman, and he doubt
less recognizes the force Of these
truths and would be more than
delighted if American shippers
and American citizens would keep
themselves out of danger Of des-
truction and their country out of
