AS to this German submarine cam. paign, it is quite wrongfully that one claims to give it the name of a block. ade. The expression is based on an ambiguity. There is nothing in com. mon between a blockade regulated by international law and the measures taken by Germany. Germany destroys systematically the vessels and their cargoes without regard for the lives of the passengers and crews. In case of error the crime is irreparable. The entente operates quite the contrary. She limits herself to confiscating or stopping merchandise coming from or going to Germany. There is in all cases the guarantee of the jurisdic. tion of the prize court.
 Germany defends the principle of the liberty of the sea in sending to the bottom of the seas neutral as well as enemy merchant ships. The en- tente tries amid difficulties to pre- vent the provisioning of the enemy and to maintain respect for inoffensive navigation. However rigorous may ap pear it's solutions at times, those rig ors have in view atleast none but ma terial objects; they stop before per sons and incline before the exigen- cies of humanity.
 If we accept the notion of the old blockade, that which the allies block ade approaches the most, can it not be admitted that it is nearly effective? There is not one ship in fifty that succeeds in avoiding the vigilance of our cruisers.
 AS to the pretended German block ade by submarines, it doesn't stop one ship in a hundred; the statistics of entries into our ports and the ports of our allies have proved that elo- quently The effect most evident of the so-called blockade which Germany has pretended to establish has been to show, once again, the radical diff, ference of the principles of the two groups of belligerents. It is this which cannot fail immediately to strike the neutrals.
 "No one has been surprised to see President Wilson pledge himself to the resolute policy of which you are aware. This policy was one which could be expected on the part of the eminent jurist, who knew so we'll how to characterize and stigmatize the doc trines and principles of our enemies. ''

guards stood rigid at the gate. The sentinel looked straight ahead. mo- tionless as the captain general passed. paying no attention to his exalted mili- tary rank. Noting this, General Wey- Ter turned sharply on the soldier, and cOmmanded
 Present arms" The sentry obeyed the command, and came to a present. while the captain general, feeling that the dignity of his high command had been suitably respected. passed on.
 But this did not end the incident. The sentary, being one of the royal guard, promptly reported the occur renee to the captain of the Royal Guards. making the point that while the king and royal family were in the palace, the salute of the Royal Guard was reserved exclusively for members of the royal family, and that any sa- luting of persons outside the royal circle was degradation uf the dignity due them.
 The captain of the guard sustained the sentry, but as a captain general was at issue, the case was referred to the minister of war. This head of the military establishment duly considered the case, heard the view of the cap. tain general and of the plain soldier, and finally gave his decision uphold ing the soldier. It is one of the few cases on record between the highest and the lowest rank in the army, in which a soldiers view has been upheld against a captain general.
