Very Serious.
Lord Northcliff, the English news
paperman, tells us that this war will
last several years longer and will be a
very serious affair indeed. In regard
to the former assertion we hope that
Northcliff is entirely wrong, but in
regard to the latter statement we had
been very much aware Of the fact for
some time.-Chaska Herald.

Very Proper.
The delegates to the Stockholm
peace conference were refused pass
ports to leave this country. This was
very proper. This country has begun
war and wants to finish it at the
proper time, in the proper manner,

for everybody to stay nome and do his

this priRciple to the land frontiers
OF a hostile country is natural and
where possible always accomplish
ed To deny TO naval forces what
is not and cannot be denied TO mill
tary forces is by no means easy if
justice 10 all men is to be doLe In
deed so difficult is it that it amounts
TO impossibility. and freedom Of the
seas during time Of war in the s, nse
just defined becomes an Utopian
vision incapable of realization.
There is no doubt that it is most
desirable that the sea ways should
bc continually open TO private en-
terprise, and that the capture OF
private property at sea should he
prohibited as it is on land-theo-
retically But while one belligerent-
Germany not only does not recog-
nize this even theoretically, let alone
practically, on land, it seems iHogi-
cal-may we not say preposterous
that she should demand il at ser.
Perhaps this is now unnecessarily
kicking in an open door. Since the
United States has entered the war
she has subscribed to the doctrine
that freedom Of the seas" i'm the
German sense of the phrase is out
of the question. She sometimes
more frankly defines it as "the en-
pire OF the Atlantic" The declara-
ton of the EN- barge as illustrated in
the holding Of the Dutch grain yes

or this feet
1t is sufficient testimony TO the
work done by the british fleet in
this war TO say that if il were elimi-
mated from the contest the war
would end at once in Germany's IA

tically defenceless United States
would be instantaneous Bankrupt
Germany has boosted that she ex-
poets this country to pay her the
most colossal indemnity ever exact

would come for it without a mo-

A word about that mysterious
phrase. "the freedom of he seas, -
may be permitted. Before the war
there was, of course, perfect free
dom of the seas. Ships Of ali ma

As a question Of practical inter

band first. SO long as nations fought
with comparatively small armies
and comparatively few weapons and
simple material, it was possible 10
define the comparatively few arti-
cles which constituted material Of
war. But now that armies and the
services that feed and supply them
have become indistinguishable from
the nation at large and when the
vast COncOuTse of fighters and work
ers needs all the resources and com
mOdities known 10 a highly deveI-
oped modern science. the limits Of
contraband Of war become almost
impossible TO define. SO too with
a blockade-So long as it was pos
sible for a squadron TO lie close Off
an enemys port indefinitely there
was no great difficulty in defining "a
blockade or in framing rules for its
conduct. but with the advent of the
mine, torpedo and submarine these
conditions which admitted simple
regulation have disappeared and an
