SkULkING NEuTRALs.

| The New Republics: It is probably no
| exaggeration to say that If we add to-
gether neutral ships sunk and neutral
ships terrorize1, the war against neut-
rails is as drastic as the war against
the belligerents. Germany is making q
new and greater Belgium Of the higher
seas. This is the overt act and 1t is
plain as day. 1t may produce no out
rage as spectacular as the Lusitania-
That is only because terrorism is sue
cessful. For what is happening on the
ocean is what happened after Bel
gtum. The lesson Of frightfulness has
been learned. Just as Holland and
Scandinavia dare not resist Germany
on land with Belgium before their
eyes, so neutral shipping is running
away from the submarine out of sheer
terror. This is the fact which our gov
eminent must recognize and act upon.
for this will be an evil world in which
to live If all neutrals must skulk be-
cause one nation scowls.
The least we can do Immediately is
to put the frightened ships under gov
eminent orders, arm them, and send
them out on prescribed order with
notice to all the world that they are
sailing on such and such date by
certain route to specific port and
that all the armed forces of this nation
are behind them. If that is war, let
lit be war. At least the spell Of the
German terror will be broken. II it Is
possible to put other neutral shipping
under the same protection it should be
done, though we can well understand
that the neutrals adjacent to Germany
may not dare to permit 1t. The point
is that we are dealing with a mental
condition, with a state of fear which
the strength Of this nation alone can
shatter. The longer that terror Is al
lowed to accumulate the harder it will
be to dispel. Only bold course i'm
mediately adopted can do it. A fleet
Iof American vessels authorized by
our government 10 sail through the
war zone would challenge the state of
fear which Ger is bent on Gre
ating.

encroached upon or by any physical act
on it's part damaged the property of the
plaintiff.
3. A city has no authority to change
the grade of q street, except by ordi-

AUTO TIRES OF RUBBER SPONGE
viii Prove Puncture Proof, ls Hope
of Promoters.

1t is proposed to manufacture pune
ture proof automobile tires from rub
ber sponge, and. experiments with this
end in view are being carried forward.
Rubber sponge has some remarkable
properties which make it promising
material. 1t contains great quar'ties
of air, but the air is in the form of
very minute bubbles, each bubble in
closed in a thin sac of rubber.
Rubber sponge is made by the ad.
dition Of certain chemicals which give
off large quantities of gas, which is i'm
prisoned by the soft rubber during the
vulcaniZing process.
It distributes the shock of the road
much as an air filled tire does hy Nir-
tue of the imprisoned gas in its struc'
ture, and has the added virtue that a
puncture will only effect the air saos
actually rurtured.

No war can be won without some self

thing to do, but it will count much i'll
