Can 1t Pay?

Germany is playing desperate game II
undertaking to starve out Great Britain
by destroying all merchantmen carrying
supplies to British ports. She is willing
TO declare war on all the neutral maritime
nations on the mere chance of beating hef
chief enemy into submission.
Apart from the criminality of drawing
the sword On neutral nations against which
che has no grievance under international
law. can such a gamblers policy pay!
What hope has Germany OF extinguishine
the merchant marines on which Grea'
Britain and her allies are depending tor
supplies? ;,
II must be remembered that Germany
promises to the United States, made after
the Sussex incident, have really affected
passenger steamers only. The German
submarines have continued their warfare
an the freight carriers of the Entente
powers and on neutral freight carriers
other than those flying the American nag
Norway has lost larger percentage OF
her merchant marine since the beginning
of the war than either Great Britain or
France has. Holland and Sweden have
lost nearly as large percentage OF thelr
shipping as Italy has. Moreover, the
losses of France, Great Britain and Italy
have been made up in part through the
seizure of interned German shipping.
Recent calculations of sea losses sho"
that Great Britain's has been about ii per
cent of the marine in existence before the
war. But the ships built in 1915 and 1910
have offset most of this shrinkage. France
has lost II per cent of her shipping, but
made I'D half that through new construc'
ton. Italy has lost per cent. PortugaFs
marine i. larger to-day than 1t was before
the war.
If it took Germany two years and nall
TO destroy this relatively small proportion
of the merchant fleets of the Entente ma
.;ons and Of the three chief neutral car
riers. how can even the improved subma
rine feet expect to accomplish anything
like an humiliation of neutral and bel
liperent carrying trade within the next SIN
months? And six months is the perloo
now set by the Germans for the realiza
tion of their last frantic hope Of victory.
From military point of view submarine
warfare has been of little profit to Ger
many. It has hardly repaid the none!
and energy spent on it. 1t has had nc
results. and can have none, which would
Justify its continuation on lawless ano
r,urderous scale, at the cost of war witt
the United States and other neutrals.
Yet such is the Tirpitz obsession, whicf
has also filled the German public MIND
that the German Government Is willing, al
Chancellor Bethmsnn-Hollweg frank!
says. to stake everything on the possibility
of winning a victory through illegal anc
ferocious submarine warfare.
Under the spell of this frenzied ILLUSION
Germany is willing to renounce humanity
and cast aside all respect for the restraints
of law and civilization.
The new submarine campaign may ylel6
MANY new victims. 1t may slake somewhat
German thirst for revenge on the British
But it cannot pay. Germany can find M
recompense in it's horrors for being ad
Judged an outcast from civilization-ar
Ishmael and pariah among the nations o.

ADDRESS
ITO HIS EXCELLENCY JOHN ADAMS
president OF THE UNITED STATES
"Sir: We hatter ourselves you will no,
be displeased at hearing that the walls 0,
your native seminary are now inhabited By
youth possessing sentiments congenial with
your own. We do not pretend to great pa.
litical sagacity; we wish only TO convince
. mankind that we inherit the intrepid spin,
of our ancestors and disdain submission
to the will of rapacious, lawless and i'm.
perious nation. Though removed from
active life, we have watched with anxiety
the interests of our country. We have
seen a nation in Europe graSping at uni.
versal conquest, trampling on the laws Of
God and nations, systematizing rapine and
plunder, destroying foreign governments by
the strength of her arms or the pestilence
Of her embraces and scattering principles
which subvert social order, raise the storms
of domestic faction and perpetuate tn.
horrors of revolution. We have seen this
same nation violating our neutral rights,
spurning our pacific proposals. her pratical
citizens sweeping our ships from the seas
and venal presses under her control pour.
ing out torrents Of abuse on men WHO have
grown gray in our service. We have seen
her ministers in this country insulting our
government by a daring, unprecedented
and contemptuous appeal to the people, and
her agents at home offering conditions
which slaves whose necks have grown 10
the yoke would reject with Indignation We
have seen this, sir, and our youthful blood
has boiled within us. When, in opposition
10 such conduct, We contemplate the meas
ures of our own government, we cannot
but admire and ven.rate the unsullied IN
tegrity, the decisive prudence and digni.
fed firmness which have uniformly chsrae.
terzed your administration. Impressed
with these sentiments, We now solemnli
offer the unwasted ardor and unimpaired
energies of our youth to the service Of our
country. Our lives arc our only property;
and we were not the sons Of those who
sealed our liberties with their blood IL We
would rot defend with these lives that soil
which now affords a peaceful grave to the
Wondering bones of our forefathers."-
