THE principle that ncutrals in wai

because bclligerents as is well
known, are entitled to prevent tho
Cnemy's sea tranic as far as they
are able. Being In possession Of the
necessary war means and considering
Il necessary for the attainment OF
their war aims, they can prohibit sea
trafIic OF enemy mcrchantmcn or
warn OF their destruction, provided
they have previously announced this
to be their intention, 50 that every
one. whether enemy or neutral, may
be enabled 20 avoid endangcring life.

no other legitimate interest and
therefore no other legal claim,

Government TO the second Amer

following paragraphs The Aus
tro. Hungarian Government can
positively concur in the principle
that enemy private vessels, 80 far
Nc they do not flee or offer re-
sistanes, shall not be destroyed
before the persons aboard are sc.
eured."l
After a lengthy discussion OF the
British blockade, which It declares is
illegal. the memorandum continues:
The principle that neutrals should
enjoy In war times the advantages OF
the freedom OF the sens refers only to
neutral vessels and not 10 neutral por-
sons aboard enemy vessels" The re-
ply further contends that belligerents
are entitled to decide for Themselves
what measures should be taken
ar- at an enemy in sea trafflc.
The text OF the Austrian note Is in
part as follows:
From the laws Of humanity which

and the Washington Cabinet take In

be derived that when executing the

STRIKING AT THE BASES.

Some time ago the idea was ad- vanced of attacking the bases of the German submarines for the purpose
 of securing better results in overcom-
 ing that menace to shipping which
 this kind of warfare has caused. The plan was apparently adopted In the attack which was made upon Zee brugge by sea and air last month and followed up in the naval enga gements
 which have taken place in that re-
 zion since that time and the bonn
 bardment of Zeebrugge a second time
 by the British fleet this week to-
 gether with the engagement in the
 North sea, where a German destroyer
 was lost, and in the bombardnent Of Ostend and the bombing of Bruges by airplanes.
 the Germans arc nearest to Great Britain. The coast has been well for tified and both Eeebrugge and Ostend are convenient points from which to launch not only squadrons of de-
 stroyers and airplanes, but they are handy as relief stations for the many submarines which Germany Is utiliz- ing. The new attention which the al- lies are directing to this coast gives indication that there is a deterrnfna- ton to reduce the value of these points to the enemy as rapidly as possible, if even there is not a cam paign underway for the purpose of driving the Germans back from the positions which they hold along the Belgian coast and thus eliminate the advantage which they now possess and reduce the danger which Is bound to exist as long as vessels of the Ger man navy have access to those ports.
 It is no easy task which confronts the British in such an undertaking, but encouragement is lent thereto by the success which has already been attained in that direction and such coupled with the renewal of the drive which is expected to naaterialize most any day in northern France ought to allow the army and navy to cooperate in 9 movement which if carried out would be of vast and lasting import ance

PATI ENT NORWAY.

How iong Norway, and for that matter both of those countries which make up the Scandinavian peninsula is going to stand foc the wholesale destruction of it's shipping, which is being carried on by the submarines without showing resen tment, Is a mat ter which is interesting the neutral as well as the beiIigerent nations. Dur ing the past month there have been almost 50 Norwegian vessels sent tc the bottom and g Norwegian sub- jects have lost their lives as the re- suit thereof, and yet that country has made no serious move to even break off relations with the imperial Ger man government.
 Norway is extensively engaged ir shipping but with the loss of vessels aggregating over 75,oo0 tons in one month, which represents of course only a small part of the losses which have been experienced by that na- ton both before and since the unre- strfcted operations, of the underwater boats went into effect, and the talk ing of almost one life a day, 1t can hardly be anticipated that that coun- try is going to permit that to go on indefinitely without experiencing a de- cided change of heart.
 The idea that Norway would suffer no less if it was actually in the war is an insufficient argument to ad- vance. for as long as it accepts exist ing conditions and does nothing what ever to insist upon respect for it's rights. it cannot be interpreted other wise than an acceptance of the justice of the German operations. The ia ct is that Norway would suffer no more and the probabilities are that it would experience less loss if it was actual ly working with the entente nations in fighting this German determiua- tion to neither respect its promises nor the rights of nations on the high seas so long as they interfere with the German policy. It would be of material advantage to itself as well as the allies if it took the bull by the horns, faced the menace and gave It's support to the putting down of Prus- sianism once and for all. And unless Norway is nisjudged every vessel that is sunk is bringing it nearer to that decision. It's patience cannot last forever. especially when there is no intention of observing it's rights.

LETTERS ID THE EDITOR
Not Good Policy to increase Taxes
 Unnecessarily.

Mir Editor: As it will be impossi- ] ble for me to attend the city meeting Friday night, there was one question l in my letter of May 26 stated between the lines that might not be plain to anyone not acquainted with my Ob- ject in writing that letter. The ques- tion that I refer to. was why the fl nance committee increased the fp- propriation Of the public works dc pertinent, under the term of ordinary repairs and expenses. and how much that increase amounts to? Alderman Dolbeare in his answer to my letter hats answered as to the amount of in crease by saying that it was to pro-
 vide for the maintainance and expense of the teams used in the collection of garbage and ashes. and on account of the increased cost in these high
 price times.
 Now in answer to that I would like
 to ask him if the naintaipance of the
 same teams has not in the past all
 ways been paid for out of the items
 known as ordinary repairs and eX-
 penses? If it be 50 why have they not reduced the appropriation fNr or dinary repairs and expenses D tT05 which is the same amount they have
 increased the estimate for collecting transfer from one account to another? :? The only reason that I can see or
 have been shown for increasing the
 appropriation for ordinary repairs and expenses in that department to $32,-
 GOO (which is S2 900 more than it eyer
 was before1 must be to pay the $2.00O
 extra paid for the city surveying last year Therefore hope that some tax
 payer or citizen. at Friday nieht's citv
 meeting will offer m amendment to
 the estimate of 900 for ordinary
 repairs and expenses so that the
 amount appropriated will be for s25-
 900, which will then be $500 more in the two above accounts than they
 were ever before. The increases made
 in the two above items amount to
 S45OO which is more than one-haIf
 mill tax on the grand list
 I therefore think if it costs the citv
 so much more on account of hieh
 prices at the present time, that this

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The proposed developments of the Department of Health will cost the city of New Haven between S25,G0O and S30.000 in increased appropria- tions. somewhat Cess than five cents per capita. It is estimated by those who have studied the matter that at least 100 lives a year can be saved from preventable disease by this ex- penditure.

NEEDLESS LOSS OF LIVESTOCK.

It doesn't require any extensive in vestiEatiOn to discover many ways in which the great amount of waste. which occurs in this country every year. can be decreased. It will re- quire attention to accomplish it but that must be expected for nothing is gained without effort, and 1t must be remembered that it is because of this very lack of effort and the failure to look after small things that Q great proportion of the waste of the Ameri- can people is made possible.
 With this country. however. experf- encinz the abnormalIy high prices for meat. and the regular amour cement to the effect that the cattle raisers are not responding to the situation in a manner which keeps the supply up to the normal requirements to say nothing of taking care of the con stantly increasing needs as the coun- try grows and develops, 1t must be evident that every possible effort should be made to see that every waste in connection with the meat supply is checked
 That such is not done is disclosed by the report of the Illinois Central railroad to the effect that during a period of five years there have been killed on that railroad through care lessness 5,122 horses and mules, 16, 171 cattle and II, ,526 hogs This of course doesn't represent q very exten sIve meat supply so far as the United tSates Is concerned, but it must be remembered that this is the report of but one among many railroads of the country and if there is the same de- gree of carelessness along the lines of other roads a serious loss to the food supply is occasioned each year.
