Russia,s Curse Pacificism.

The curse of Russia is pacifcism.--
that is, the pacifcism that refuses to
fight for ideals,-the pacfcism that
allows an autocracy to rule without
protest,-the pacificism of the cow

long as she has an ear of corn to

SOME DEMOCRATS
Angry Because Postmasters
Put Under the Civil
Service.

Washington, March III. = Many
Democratic members OF congress
were angry today over the announced
intention of the administration to ex-
tend the merit system to all postmas-
tiers of the first, second and third
classes, after April by executive
order of the president. They de-
clared the effect would be to place in
Office many Republicans, and some
said the purpose was to draw Repub-
lican support for administration meas
ures in the next house, whose politi-
cal complexion is SO uncertain. Post
master General Burleson explained
the move was prompted by reasons
of economy and efficiency. however.
Postmasters now in Office will serve
out the four-year term for which they
were appointed, but after April l, the
president will oil each vacancy by
appointment of the man making the
highest grade in examinations, which
are yet to be ARRANGED.

Holds Promise of Victory.

Mr.. Frank H. Simonds, Of the
New York Tribune, who for two
months has been in Europe testifie:
to the effectiveness Of the submarine
as a weapon, aud says that "Ameri
, cans should recognize that Germany
means to continue the submarine war
without regard to neutrals because il
does hold out a promise OF ultimate
Triumph"
Mr.. Simmons says the struggle has
become duel to the death between
Germany and Great Britain. France
is playing relatively small part.
LET it be frankly recognized, then, "
he says, "that Germany is calculating
correctly so far as material things
count, in risking all on her submarine
venture. Let il be recognized that un-
! gess the British hereafter find an an
.swer not yet discovered for the sub
marine there are difficult days ahead
for Great Britain"
London is giving out that the loss
c,oS shipping in February is only one
2lalf that which the Germans estmat-
ed they would inhict. They destroyed
about 500, 900 tons. But this is a very
deceptive method of figuring. The
submarine warfare has been almost
completely successful in keeping neu-
4ral shipping in port. Great Britain
, since the war began has been depend
snt largely on the Dutch, Scandinavian
and American merchant ships. Most
of the stock of these companies is
owned in London This explains
partly the ruthlessness with which
Germany submarines sink neutral
ships. 1t is well known by the COM
manders that these ships are not re-
ally neutral. Even il they were, their
traffic is almost altogether to supply
the allies. The submarine blockade is
endeavoring to stop supplies for Eng
land. 1t has cut off over half Of these.
In normal times something like four
million tons a month are delivered in
English ports. OF late months, not
over two million.
Mr.. Simonds sees. too, that even If
the Submarine campaign does not save
Germany this time it may do so in the

future. II ''has opened a new hori'

less the answer to the submarine be
found there is frank realization that
the blockade of Britain in the future
and by submarines Of still greater pow
err will be a consequence of subse.
quent war.
And yet, seeing all this, we GO
ahead spending $500, 100000 on an
old-fashioned feet.
Were we not intensely bigoted in
our adherence to the allies we might
also see that success of the subma-
rines would wipe the slate clean so
far as superior sea power is concern
ed. The smallest of countries can
defend itself with submarines, and
with mines and coast defense of mod
ern type.
The world will never cease its wars
until ornaments on land and sea are
reduced to strictly defensive bases.
The Atlanta Journal in a paragraph
quoted on this page lays stress on
Prussian militarism. Has it been any
more of a cause Of trouble in the
world than British navslism? Were
the fleets of all nations to be reduced
to innocuous power, then might hu-
mainly have chance to build on a
new basis. ="
