Thinks We Are on Verge of War.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledgerl
1t is impossible to eXaggcrate the
gravity of the issues raised by the Ger
man note or to ignore the indisputabla
fact that it brings the United States
not only to the necessity of facing an
immediate severance OF diplomatic re-
lations with Germany, but to the very
verge of war. Not only is it i'm
possible that the United States should
even seem to consent by inaction to
tie resumption Of unrestricted subma-
rine warfare against passenger AMI
cargo ships, but it could not submit
for one moment to the abandonment
of its rights as a neutral to the free
dom of the sea or the demand for guar
antees and humiliating restrictions on
its commerce. 1t is its right TO send
its ships where it will.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1917-02-15

including foodstuffs, to Germany have
been held up by allied war craft and
usually taken into Kirkwall. the Brit
ISL port, where their cargoes were ex-
amined and, if found to he on the for
hidden list cOnfiscated.
Under these conditions the food
shortage in Germany has grown until
her Inhabitants have been compelled to
live on very restricted diet, which
has for some time been prescribed b.
the imperial government and which
called forth the use of bread and other
food cards.
On Nov. >, 1914, the British govern
ment declared the North sea to be a
military area" This was to effect a
blockade of the German coast without
subjectinS neutral craft to the incon-
yeniences Of a formal blockade. Ii
was the application of the high sea
right of search to a designated area.
Russia did the same in regard to the
Baltic sea.
On Jan. {, 1915, Germany retaliated
by declaring a similar military area
covering the sea in form Of a sector
radiating westward from HelgOland to
a distance of 100 miles, with its south
western radius touching the territorial
waters of Holland and its northwest
ern radius touching those of Denmark
Then, on Feb. t. 1915, Germany is
sued her famous war zone decree, to
90 into effect on the 18th inst, which
stated that all belligerent shipping
found within Il prescribed distance of
the British isles would be sunk.
The triangular controversy over the
extension of the war to the high seas
between Great Britain and Germany
as the chief belligerents and the Unit
ed States as the principal neutral ma
ton has centered around two features,
each with many ramifications, which
have been marked by an Interchange
of notes.-the attempt of Great Britain
to prevent munitions and foodStuffS
from reaching Germany and the at
tempt of Germany to destroy the mer-

ers to state department message stat
ing, "Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warning and with
out safety Of the lives of combatants
provided that the liners do not try to
escape or offer resistance"
Oct. 1S.-United States declares Ger
many's procedure of putting passen-
gers AM crews of merchantmen into
small boats on the open seas does not
satisfy the provisions Of international
law
March "a, 1916.-Channel ship Sus-
sex torpedoed; eighty killed or injured.
April 19.-American note declares
unless Germany Immediately declare
and effect an abandonment Of its pres
ent methods of submarine warfare
against passenger and freight carrying
vessels the government of the United
States can have no ch,ice but to sever
diplomatic relations
May Germany in reply says ships
shall not be sunk without warning and
without saving human lives unless the
ships attempt to escape or offer resist
ance.

tFrom the Baltimore Americana
The United States will not abandon
its rights ON the sea or abandon its
carefulness for the rights and lives Of
its citizens because Germany chooses
to go rabid and make indiscriminate
warfare upon mankind. The mailed
fist cannot be shaken in the face of
Uncle Sam with impunity because
Germany goes hungry. The
nation needs to be calm, but earnest
and to support the president. And he
may be counted upon to make explicit
the firm stand Of the nation for its in
alienable and unassailable rights. Such
is the issue that points to a breach that
may not, however, be more than YER
bally threatening 1t s the Kaiser, not
the reichstag, talking.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1917-02-15

[From the Minneapolis CAIinn) Tribune ]
1t is not necessary to emphasize for
the thoughtful reader the difficulties
of this situation or to suggest the grave
peril to our country which lies beneath
it, That our own commerce in
our own ships should be barred from
Europe by the arbitrary decree of one
of the belligerents whose only means
of suppressing it is to destroy it on
the high seas is matter which the
people of America will expect our gov
eminent to deal with in accordance
with our rights as neutrals and with
due regard to the maintenance of our
national honor.

German order for unrestricted L boat
warfare would be conducted with the
utmost skill.
The negotiations conducted by the
two nations in the matter of the use of
submarines by Germany cover the fol
lowing dates:
Feb. 4, 1915.-German government
announces that on and after Feb. IS
all waters around Great Britain will
constitute a war zone and merchant
vessels found therein will be subject
TO attack.
Feb, 10. - United States formally
warns Germany she will be held to
"strict accountability if American
! citizens suffer as result of new policy.
, May THE Lusitania sunk, with
loss of 1900 lives, including 11J Amer
leans.
May 13.-United States sends note Of
protest against sinking of the LuSita
mia. declaring it will not omit any
word or act necessary to its sacred
duty of maintaining the rights Of
American citizens"
May 29.-Germany replies to Amer

ton for the allies.

Must Await British Preparations.

From the Lincoln (Neb) State Journal.l
1t will be well to read the latest
German note in the light Of English
preparations. On its face the notice
given of the coming Of unrestricted
submarine warfare means a clash with
the United States. The only hope
full phase of the situation is the posi-
bility that Great Britain is preparing
to transform all of her merchantmen
into virtual warships and intends to
make an offensive as well as a defcn-
sive warfare upon all enemy subma-

chant marine of the allies and that of
all neutrals engaged in trade with
them.
The first has been promoted by a
comprehensive blockade even envelOp-
ing those countries through which
goods might be transshipped into Ger
many. The second has been developed
through submarine warfare, marked by
various stages Of severity and com
pleteness. The blockade has subjected
neutrals to industrial and financial in
conveniences and to forfeiture of ships

has resulted in the loss of both bel
ligerent and neutral property and lives.
In a manner Germany conducted
what was practically unrestricted sub
marine warfare against noncombatant
property and li5es Of the belligerents
and against neutrals presumed to have
dealings with Germany's enemies from
Feb. IS, 1915, to May 4, 1916.

would probably dispatch many under

the Atlantic and attack all vessels
bound for Europe. No doubt many
Americans would be killed
The United States in opposing these
activities would act under instructions
issued by Rear Admiral WiNiam s.
Benson, chief of naval operations. De-
stroyers, the fastest vessels in the
navy, would probably be the chief re-
lance.
1t is doubtful if American troops
would be sent to the trenches in Eu-

Looked at in a practical way, and it
should be remembered that none of the
belligerents has respected the provi-
sions Of international law, Germany
is simply cutting loose from all re-
straints and proceeding on the princi-
pie that all is fair in warfare and that
is best which makes for victory.

GERMANY BLOCKADED.
Her Shipping Swept From Ocean by
British Fleet

Since the day Great Britain declared
war upon Germany the seas have been
blockaded by England's warships
against German shipping. Not a Ger

few raiders and the submarine mer-
chairman Deutschland, has sailed the
seas Vessels in German ports have
beer kept az home, and those in neu-
trail ports have remained at their piers.
