DESTRUCTION OF
SHIPS ATTEMPTED

Christiana, Tuesday, June 2G-The
Norwegian newspapers continue to
publish details of the German plot to
destroy Norwegian steamships by OK
plosves brought into the country by
a courier of the German foreign office
which resulted in the arrest of three
men last week. The After Postes in
sists that the arrest of the courier
must be upheld even against Germa-
ny's protests.
The Morgenbladt, which hitherto has
been more or less friendly to Ger
many, asks whether Germany wishes
to force Norway to join the ranks of
her enemies, and remarks coast would
be very important for the ente and
would give the American navy a splen-
did stategic position for cooperation
with the British. This newspaper says
further that of all the foolish acts OF
German diplomats and military lead
ers In the way Of depriving the GEN.
trail powers of friends, this last at
tempt to blow imp the remnant Of
Norwegian ships Is one Of the mos
formidable blunders.

A Merchant Marine,

The assurance is held out that the
close of the war will find America with
a merchant marine entirely worthy of
the name, and adequate for our largest
uses. That end should be kept steadily
in view in all we do now on the blue
water.
Surprise is great when We reflect on
our long continued neglect of our ma
chine for fighting. We had no army.
A nation of hundred million people
occupying one of the richest and most
highly developed empires in the world
could show less than hundred thou
sand thoroughly trained soldiers. A ma
ton with far extended coast lines, and
sea possessions of great value, had, in
stead of a navy of the first class-"an
incompatible navy" to use the Presi-
dents words-a navy of the fourth class,
and that undermined. The ships we
had were good, and the officers and men
excellent, but too few in number.
But the surprise is greater when We

The Climax of Cruelty.

There is sort of grim appropriate
ness in the fact that the victims of Ger
many's latest submarine outrage were
the men of the steamer Belgian Prince,
who were drowned like rats from the
deck of a submarine after their life
boats and ifebelts had been destroyed.
For it was in Belgium that Germanys
brutal ruthlessness first displayed itself
to the amazement of large part of the
world which was not acquainted with
the German character or the nature of
the German military teachings. 1t will
be difficult for the U-boat commanders
to devise anything more terrible in the
way of barbarism than the treatment of
the crew of the Belgian Prince, and so
that case will stand, perhaps, as a
climax of wanton cruelty.

Russian Names.

One of the troubles that the Ameri.
can public experiences in the matter ot
the Russian changes is that no sooner
does 1t get acquainted with the name OF
a man of position in Petrograd than he
is sidetracked into political obscurity
1t takes some time to get the average
RUSSIAN name memorized so that il
stands for personality. Kerensky's
name is comparatively easy, and there
has been no trouble about him from
the start, but from the witches and
offs and "effs" and "skys," with their
predatory jumbles of consonants, it is
hard to get the semblance of identity
In fact, the whole situation in the east
of Europe has been trial to the west
ern sworld from the beginning of the
war. The geographical names have
given the most stubborn trouble, and
now the personal names are worse than
ever because in the old regime they
were occasionally prefaced by titles by
which the distinguished Russian states
men could be recognized, whereas now
titles are tabooed. But it is for far
more than convenience that the Ameri-
can people hope that the new Russian
ministry will stand intact.

Simmons and Kitchin.

MIR. Kitehin promptly denies that he
is candidate for the Senate against
Mr.. Simmons. The story grew OUT of
. their antagonism in the matter of the
war revenue measure. The denial is en-
titled to the fullest acceptance. Mr..
Kitchin is too able man and too ex-
perieneed politician to play for per-
sonal preferment a. this time with such
q counter.
1t is fact, however, that 4 lively in
terest has attached to the spectacle of
these two men taking sharp issue with
each other on the question of taxation.
They are from the same state, have been
reared IN the same school of politics, owe
their rise in public life to an advocacy
of the same general political principles,
and have been among the most favored
sof fayorite sons. Both have become ma
tional figures through activities in Con-
gress as "old-fashioned democrats
But fashions, in politics, as in other
things, are changing. The upheaval
produced by the war is affecting poll
tics, business, economies, and nearly
everything else. Many cid theories have
been strapped, and some new ones
adopted. In voting for the revenue

Honors for the Districts Quota

| Washington is proud of the fact that
| it furnished the first soldier for the
new National Army. Il is proud, too, of
the progress its boards are making in
| the securing of the Districts quota of
| soldiers. and when the 1922 men stand
twenty-one and thirty-one years of age,
they will unquestionably compare we'll
with the troops furnished by any other
community in this war for democracy.
It is now proposed that the citizens of
the District accord TO the local quota
| a token of appreciation upon the COM
pletion of the examinations The civic
organizations have taken the matter in
hand and are preparing energetically
for the event, which will be, so far as
present plans run, simple but impress
sive expression OF the public gratifca-
ton that the young men of Washington
are doing their bit so splendidly.
1t is not seamly 10 make this an occa-
sion of rejoicing. These men are going
into war, perhaps to be slain. 1t is one
of the most solemn hours in the national
history. But the local quota should go
into the ranks with a sense of public
appraisal and appreciation. They should
go with the cheers of their fellow citi-
zens in their ears, with the knowledge
of publicly expressed Endorsement of
their patriotic acceptance of duty.
The men who have been named as
committees to arrange and conduct this
expression of public appreciation are
we'll known for their energy and re-
source in matters of community activity,
and they may be relied upon to make
the most of this opportunity to testify
to the rejoicing that Washington is
maintaining so inspiringly the American
traditions and meeting so bravely and
promptly TIE requirements of patriotic
responsibility.

Halt When Ordered,

1t is reported from Oklahoma that a
young man on his way to an officers
reserve camp to begin his military train
ing was shot by a posse looking for
draft resisters because he failed to obey
command to halt. This is deplorable
occurrence, but it emphasizes the fact
that this is war time and everybody
must be alert and careful. Sentries are
stationed at strategic points and on
posts of especial importance through
out the country. They are under orders
to prevent the commission of certain
acts. The order halt is their pre-
scribed warning 1t is every citizens
part to obey when thus commanded. as
matter of personal protection. Take
no chances with a sentry. He is armed
and he will be justified in shooting if
you disregard his command. 1t is easier
to argue with him after hating than to
recover from the wound.

Germany's Foreign Minister.

German comment on the new MIN
listers, appointed TO fill some of the va
cancies in the imperial cabinet, con-
shutting the largest change in the gov
eminent at Berlin for years, indicates
a larger degree of satisfaction on the
part of the junker or pan-German eie-
ments than on the part of the liberals
The only name that has evoked any de-
gree of approval is that of Won huehi-
mann. now ambassador to Turkey, who n
named to be secretary for foreign al
fairs. And it is a striking indication
of the Bourbon attitude of the govern
ing Germans that Won Kuehlmanns APP
pointment is hailed with derislon by
the organs of conservatism. The Ger
man people are not yet really lmpor-
tant factor in German affairs.
Won Kuehlmann is believed to be mod
crate in his views, friendly in spirit to
some of the nations that are now fighting
Germany, and strongly opposed 10 ruth
less submarine warfare. 1t is, however
not particularly important what he thinks
about the business of Germany's cause
or course. He is a German minister of
state and as such will reflect the poll
cies of those in highest command. 1t
is a commonplace that the German for
eign office has rarely known-ofhcially-
of what the admiralty and the war of
fee were doing. Thus the foreign sec
rotary and even the chancellor might
be opposed to warfare at sea and yet
the admiralty might continue to put
Germany into difficulties with other ma
tions. Somebody has suggested that IN
asmuch as the German right hand o.
foreign relations has not known what
the German left hand of navaa warfare
has been doing, what is chiefly needed
today is pair of handouts.
1t is idle to look for any change max
ing for peace in the ministerial read
iustments at Berlin Peace will come
not through any political shifts, but
through successive military reverses.
The chancellor and the foreign secre-
tary are merely cogs in the German ma
chine. Won Hindenburg and Won Ca
pelle, under personal direction of the
kaiser and his son, are the men who
count in Germany today. Germany's
foreign relations, it nsay be noted, are
confined to very small part of the
world, to Spain, Holland, Denmark, Nor
way and Sweden alone of the European
states. The job of foreign minister at
Berlin is at present a good deal of a
sinecure

A Matrimonial Stacker.

"A young man of large wealth in New
York has just applied for exemption
from military service on the ground that
his wife is dependent upon him for sup
port. This case is unfortunate in that
it may give the impression that the
younger Americans of means are in
elined to shirk their civic duties where
as in truth only small percentage
of them are seeking to be excused.
The exemption claim has not yet been
allowed, and its chances of acceptance
are lessened by the fact that the young
man was married only about a month
ago, just on the eve of the draft. There
is still time for this young citizen to
change his mind and to accept service.
He should do so as an example to others
of his class and social standing.
