What Germ my Fears Most
from The New York Trlbunel.

In urging a Joint or "identlc' embar-
go on exports to the neutrals OF North
ern Europe our government has shown
true leadership. We are willing TO
carry 10 its logical conclusion the pol
icy Of isolating Germany. We wish to
persuade our allies TO quit the losing
game Of dckering with those c0in-
tries as to the extent to wlilck they
shall be allowed to supply Germanys
war needs.
The United States has laid down the
principle that no exports shall be per-
mitted TO go into the northern neutral
countries which will release equiva-
lent supplies for shipment into Ger
many. II these neutrals continue TO
sell food and other materials 20 the
Germans, they will be compelled TO
use up their own resources in doing
so. Deprived Of counter supplies
through importatlons, Denmark. Nor
way, Sweden and Holland will soon
have TO limit their sales to Germany
in self-defence.
That is the American theory. With
Che cooperation Of all the other
powers al war with Germany Il can
easily be put into practice, with
stranglng effect. The Entente nations
have a right TO refuse TO sell goods
10 the northern neutrals. They also
have the power to prevent other neu-
trails from selling goods to these four
countries. The shipping Of the world
Is practically In the hands Of the En-
tente. The countries which control
the marine coal supply control the use
Of steamers in the overseas trade. II
is our governments idea TO bring
pressure on Latin America to with
hold all supplies which, by entering
Denmark, Norway, Sweden or Holland
might increase directly or Indirectly
Germany's potential reserve stock.
Latin America has few ships now
on the seas. A refusal TO furnish these
ships with bunker coal would soon
end their sailings to Northern Euro.
pean ports. But an extreme step OF
that sort would probably be unneces-
sary, since Germany has scarcely a
friend left In the whole Western worlc
and no neutral on this side OF the At
lantlc Is likely to protest against Q
regulation Of overseas commerce
which is manifestly intended to haster
German defeat.
Great Britain has hitherto thought u
advisable 20 compromise with tho
northern neutrals. She has herself
drawn on them for food supplies. She
has had TO use Sweden, especially. as
way station for intercourse Will

British have in turn been obliged Il

treason is caused by bribery. the crude payment Of

RIfsINEss SHOWS IT is AMERICAN.

az the recent war convention held under the aus
pices OF the Chamber OF Commerce OF the United States
assured Uncle sam could have them, their industries

his own terms and conditions.
They went q step further and declared themselves IN

own needs but also for the public, and for government
control OF distribution In accordance with whatever need
may develop.
They gave pledge that there would be no unsettle-
ment OF labor conditions their part for the duration
Of the war In return they asked for truce by LABOR
so that the necessary work could be speedily accom-
pshed and for arbitration by the government IN any
cases where disputes might arise.
This Is progress.

It IS practical Il can be achieved In Delaware and
in all the other states in the Union. It viii serve no

from these neutral states into tn
enemy's lines. Such regulation has
failed. Human nature has been too
strong for it. LOCALIZED trade has been
supplemented by smuggling. l. was
estimated recently that enough food
has been going into Germany from liol-
land to feed 100000 soldiers. Sweden.
which Is more prO-German In SYM
pathy than Holland is, has undUubt-
edly been an enormously valuable
source OF German war supplies.
The British government tolerated
this trade into Germany because it
felt itself dependent TO some extent
on the northern neutrals. Holland sent
large quantities OF dairy products into
the English market. Denmark did the
same. Now the situation mas changed
for the better far enough to permit
Great Britain TO risk the stoppage Of
these and other imports In order TO
cut of the benefit which Germany has
derived, directly or indirectly, from
the continuance Of Allied and neutral
trade with her northern nelghbors.

creased confidence in our ability TO
provision all our European allies II
Great Britain and France consent 10
the enforcement OF a rigid embargo
on the states adjacent TO Germany,
thus possibly surrenderlng a part OF
their present food supply and remov-
ing all restrictions in the commerce OF
these states with the enemy. The old
furtive division, supposed to be main
tanned as a concession TO neutral APP
pearances, worked necessarilt in favor
Of the bidder who needed the supplies
more and was camped in the very
back yard Of the seller. Though Il may
cost the good will of the four countries
concerned, a much stricter embargo on
trade with them and an open avowal
of the purpose Of the Allies to Isolate
Germany TO the last degree will dc
much more TO win the war than anS
policy of consideration for neutral
comfort could do which also involved
consideration for German comfort.
The northern neutrals are, OF course
in an unfortunate position. But w,
cannot allow Germany TO profit by
anything that Is done for their benefit
Germany plunged the world into war
The crime she committed was agalns
all the nations Of the world, neutra
as we'll as belllgerent, and neutrali
must now suffer along with bellger
ents until that crime Is expiated.
A Joint or "identic" embargo on tn,
northern neutrals would be a furthe
step toward victory and peace. The En-
tente powers ought TO take Il. The,

Germany fears even more than tn

mcHAELIs TAKEs oTT THE MASK

VIZ HEN Pope Benedict issued his last peace note the
w kaisers and their allies were in high gee. Here
their chance trap the Allies and get by trckery
what they could not by force. But President
Wilson, and for ALL dIsspaed their rosy hopes.
Answering the Pope with all gravity and respect
hue his exalted position, Wilson nevertheless pointed
out It impossible to deal with Germany at
present ruled. He made It clear civilized nation could
put any faith any treaty convention signed by the
Kaiser and his underlings.
Disappointed the German and Austrian Kasers sent
replies to the Pope in which they maundered about
freedom OF the seas" but nowhere met the real IS
sues.
This has now been followed by an address Chancellor
Nchaells made to the main committee Of the German
Rechstag Whether he meant TO not he has by that
speech completely taken or the behind which sin
lister German designs being oloaked. Said Mchaels,
IN outburst OF candor unusual in Prussiarl junkeri
"Any such public statement Of peace terms at the
present time would only nlure German interests. We
should not come a step peace but u would con-
tribute certainly TO a prolongatlon Of the war;
Now what does this mean2 It mean only one
thing that the Teutons bending every EFFORT 20 en-
tran the Allies into peace armstlce which would give
Germany and Austria a necessary breathing time
They talk Of peace They hint Of liberal conditions,
but all the time they know they lying 1t is the
plain lie told by the thief and Delawareans and
other Americans either do should, recognize the
fact.
The Kaisers want 10 set away with their loot. They
want to escape paying for the ruin they have wrought
They escape the penalty Of their crimes against
civilization.
That Is why NIchaells for IN his life tells the
truth The terms II stated openly and honestly,
would not conduce peace, but to grimmer determ-
nation upon the part Of civilized world TO war to
the bitter end cost what it may. The German terms
would probably be those exacted by conqueror, that
would further shock world already shocked often
by German ruihlessness.
Civilization vote OF thanks however, to Mich
aells for his plain words. The warning needed in
quarters Il IS TO be commended to the attention
of all the lilyvered pacnss the pro-German Social
lists and all the other notorious cllques that have busted
themselves in this country trying to pull chesnuts out
OF the IRE for the dear Kaiser
II any man in Delaware elsewhere with slight
modioum Of brain read the chancelors speech and
sim shrek peace this stage Of the game he belongs
in Germany
inc average American or woman viii see in the
ehanceors speech plain incentive for this country to
make war up to tho hit with the scabbard thrown
away, until Prussianism crushed and the prrssian
menace forever abated.
