THE WAY OF THE
TRANSGRESSOR.

Germany is destined to lose out on
the U-boat proposition--later if not
sooner. And this is the logic of it:
granted that by the use of numerous
undersea boats Germany can defy the
navies of other nations and sink all
ships undertaking to navigate the
seas, then the other nations can play
the game just as well as Germany can.
In other words, if Germany should
succeed in sinking all enemy and neu-
trail ships, this would leave her still
without victory, and only worse off
than at the beginning. If she then
started to navigate her own ships on
the ocean and sought to engage in
commerce, all that the other nations
would have to do would be to adopt
her own tactics, provide big fleet of
submersibles, lie in wait like highway
men and strike her ships down as they
came by.
The German officials themselves have
told us that the U-boat menace has no
answer; and certainly, we can make
more U-boats than Germany can if we
want to. U-boat can be answered by
U-boat, and in the end Germany will

any control.
Taking Germany at her word and
fighting her with her own weapons,
there is still no future for her. She
has chosen her course and sealed her
own fate. By deliberately preferring
to become an outlaw she has forced
civilization to combine and make COM
mon cause against her.
The world may be nearly ruined in
the conflict that is coming-for we are
probably only at the beginning of it;
but it will not be the German mill.
tarism that will rise triumphant over
the wreckage. Assuredly we can put
Germany out of business, and the more
U-boats she uses, the sooner her finish
will come-paradoxical as this may
seem.
Germany is like bully who draws
a knife in a crowd; such tactics may
win for the moment, but they mean
sure doom for the one who adopts them
for all hands will leap on such mis-
creant. Bullyism is the very essence
of kaiserism; the kaiser DULLES even
the German people and they dare not
say their soul is their own. Even the
poor Russian peasants whom the Ger
mans 50 despise have risen and thrown
off the militiaristocratic government
which has tyrannized over them-but
the Germans appear to lack the spirit
to do any such thing.
They are willing to submit to the
kaiseristic yoke, then they must suf-
fer. Humanity the world over will
feel sympathy for the Germans as a
people, but if the German people up
hold German militarism they must
feel the heavy hand of retribution.
1t may take three years, or even
five years, to crush Germany and kali
serism, but this task is something that
humanity would have had to perform
sooner or later. And in the language
of the flour Observation-Disclosures
ly, why not now?"
If German militarism were to tri-
umph now, this triumph would be brief.
1t would simply force the rest of the
world to adopt militarism too and
break the power of force by using
force. This policy would make this
country and the whole world an arm
ed camp for generations to come.
But if the allies Of democracy win
out, it will mean that militarism will
be made obsolete, just as dueling has
been. Law and order and justice will
then rule, and it will take but COM
paratively small force to maintain
peace.
No matter how many U-boats Ger
many builds-every U-boat is a nail
in her coffin. No matter how many
ships she sinks-every ship sunk adds
to the penalty which she is accumulat-
ing for herself.
The allies are going to win; outlaw
ISM cannot prevail; nothing but abso-
lutte ruin and degradation for Germany
remains, for she has shown that she
is not entitled to the slightest conf
dence or consideration. When the wer
started, at least half the neutral world
sympathized with her, but her own
acts have alienated practically every
nation from her.
She has no one to blame but herself.
and the memorable law of evoluti I
prescribes her doom. She has shown
that she is not fit to survive, and she
will be rooted out like weed pest.
The world will not accept the pan-Te (.
ton yoke.-EX.
