Germany has renewed her ATTACKS
on the women and children of Eng
land. The air raid of last Saturday
was absolutely worthless from mill
tary viewpoint. 1t can be explained
only on the ground of the innate bru-
talfty of the Hun or on that OF des-
peration. Since similar acts have
been taking place ever since the war
began. the latter explanation is scarce
" admissible. No like methods OF
carrying on war have been known IN
modern times and nothing of the sort
could have been foreseen. Every day
adds to the accommodating evidence
that the utter humiliation of the Ger
man autocracy is necessary in order
to make the world desirable abiding
place for civilized peoples. Ruthless
exercise of every brutal and hitherto
unheard of method of carrying on a
war. on the part of the Teuton. makes
Il evident that no nation could exist
In any degree of safety if the central
powers should triumph in the exist
ing war The hitherto most barbar-
Gus tribes of the earth are angels in
comparison with the Huns

If President Carranza can thrust
his country into the war, on the side
of the allies, he will have taken long
step toward giving back to Mexico its
former standing among the nations of
the world. Nothing equals a war for
putting an end to internal troubles
and starting whole people in one di-
rection. Carranza is a wise citizen
and probably realizes this. He can
perform no better service for himself
and the country, under existing con-
ditions, than by declaring war or Ger
many. 1t would give Mexico a stand
ing among nations which it will need
after the war. besides uniting the fac
lions at home.

WILL HE BLUFF THEM?
Believe Kaiser's Call for Ncutrals Is to
Warn Them.

Washington, July 9.-Conjecture
here as to the purpose of the confer
ence between Emperor William and
the neutral ambassa doris and ministers
ranged all the way from new peace
proposals to threats of drastic action
against the North European neutralS
in the event that they should yield to
the United States and refuse to con-
tinue to supply German with food and
raw materials.
The general belief is that the en-
peror is making it plain to the Scan
dinavians that if they allow their ter
ritorial waters to be patrolled or mined
by the entente allies or refuse to con-
tinue to exchange goods with Ger
many he will regard the action as a
breach of neutrality and IS an act of
hostility toward Germany
Causes Stir Among Diplomats.
The reported conference taken in
connection with President Wilson S
proclamation establishing a licensing
system for exports has caused quite
a commotion among the diplomatic
representatives of the neutral states
Some representations on the subject
already are believed to have been
made to the state department.

1t seems difficult to get AT the
truth regarding tho results of Ger
many's submarine warfare. Reports
from Berlin and those from London
do not agree. But there is one kline
Of testimony bearing on the submarine
question, says the New York Globe,
that no American doubts. 1t is the
testimony that comes to the eyes of
several million New Yorkc-s every
day. The harbor is crowded with
merchant shipping, and there is a
steady procession thru the Narrows
The ships are going out and they are
coming in. The vessels leave, and In
four or five weeks return loaded to
get another load. Few are the miss
ing. We know that these ships safe
" traversed the submarine areas. We
know that in May they carried out
1881 900 worth of goods and brought
in s2s1.o 100000 worth of goods-the
largest amount ever reported by any
country IN any month.
