EDITORIAL COMMENT

/, i ~
A contribution signed BY j. W.
Eggers, criticising the policy Of the
administration in arming merchant
vessels, appears in the Wagner
Post. Mr.. Eggers classes himself
with those who favor peace at
Any Price, and Of course it 10
useless to argue with one who val
lues his liberties so lightly that he
would sacrifice them all, and bow
in humble submission to some
feudal lord rather than defend his
rights. However, he insults Amer
ican manhood when he asserts that
95 per cent Of our people are in
that class. Fortunately our fore.
fathers, whose blood was the price
paid for the liberties that Mr.. Eg.
gers enjoys, and which he values
SO lightly, were not Of that class,
and we do not believe that the sons
Of those fathers are ready. to weak
ly surrender the heritage that has
been given them. Mr. Eggers does
not defend the German submarine
tactics, but contends thatit is not
q provocation for war. Perhaps
not. and the arming of merchant
vessels for defense is not a declar-
alton Of war. but We went to war
with England in 1912 for a less
provocation, and up to the present
war our rights on the high seas
have since been respected. Are
those rights less sacred to us now
than they were in 1922 And shall
we now weakly surrender the rights
that our fathers in 1912 fought to
secure for US? What would Mr..
Eggers consider a provocation for
war? The chief duty of q govern
ment is to defend the lives and
property of its citizens SO long as
they are engaged in legal and
honorable pursuits. This is all
that our government is now at
tempting to do. We are simply
defending q right that is recognized
by every principle of International
law. Mr.. Eggers' says "The SOL
diery of a republic should be used
only to repel an invasion" /" Would
Mr.. Eggers contend chat his rights
only extend to the limits of his own
farm? Would he not defend his
right to travel the public highway
and market his crop? Mr.. Eggers
would defend his right to travel
and transport bis products over
the highways, or over the railroads
of the country, and an interference
with those rights he would resent,
and would expect the government
to defend him. In national sense
our markets are the world, and the
high seas are the public highway.
To deprive us Of those rights would
be as unjustitiable as TO deprive
Mr.. Eggers Of the use Of the pub.
lie highway from his farm to his
nearest trading point. Fortunate.
ly the pusilanimity that this letter
reveals does not characterize the
American citizenship of today any
more than it did in the days of our
fathers who first made this coun.
try a refuge for the oppressed Of
other lands, millions of whom have
come here to enjoy its freedom,
and we trust most of them appre-
ciate its blessings enough to help
defend them.

DANISH WEST INDIES
 PURCHASE TREATY RATIFIED
Possession Will Not Be Taken Until
 S25, ,0oo ,o00 is Paid.

Washington. Jan. 23.-Congress was notified formally by President Wilson of/the exchanges of ratifications of the Danish West Indies purchase treaty and asked to provide at the present session the 25.0o0.000 the United States has agreed to pay for the is lands.
 The revenue bill now being framed in the house will authorize a bond is- sue to furnish the money.
 When the presidents message was received the senate made public of fcially for the first time the text of the treaty signed last August in New York by Secretary Lansing and Dan isin Minister Brun.
 Sovereignty over the three little is- lands passed to the United States upon the exchange of notifications. but the American government actually will not take possession until the purchase price has been paid. Then the flag will be raised with formal ceremony and the Atlantic fleet probably will rendezvous at St. Thomas, where a great naval base is to be located.

When the Yarrowdale was riding at anchor south of Island Haven. in the Sound on account of the fog, one British naval gunner and one civilian jumped overheard to swim ashore but no sooner felt the cold water than they began to cry for help.
