In view Of the Increasing import
anee Of submarine warfare and the
admitted possibility Of II being a
deciding factor In the war the opl-
MON Of German authorities should
be Of signal interest for Americans
today. More than a year ago the
H~Frankiurter zeitungH published an
article which at that time attracted
wide attention not only In Germany
but also In our country and Eng
land. Ii should be noted that the
following article was printed before
Rumanla entered the war. The com.
plete text Of the article 10 as fol-
lows:
"There are two different views Of
The situation. The one which is sup
ported by the majority Of our states
men Is that a complete breach be-
tween Germany and America would
be very perilous. Not on account Of
he military power Of the United
States but for other reasons. A con-
lrary view is supported by the mai
prity of our naval officers, and Is to
the effect that the present war could
DO brought to a victorious end much
sooner, but only on condition that
svery possible advantage were taken

"In order to make this clear |

statesmen say that America could
N the event of a breach do the fol-
owing things:
~First-conhscate our merchant
hips now lying in her harbors, the
Falue of which represents at least
$3.50, 10000. Thereby we should be
'obbed Of the kernel of our mer-
camille marine While by the same
loken the Americans would automat-
cally become possessed OF a. fine
merchant fleet. In the early period
following peace this would be de-
plorable, because America would
then be In a position to usurp Ger
nany's former sea commerce.
Second-America could place a
further SO, 600. 100000 or $4,000, 000,-

GET AFTER THE ALLIED "~SLACKERS".
WEBB BILL OUGHT TO PASS,

United States, who ought to be
in the trenches in Europe fight
ing for their country. There
has been no great exodus from
here to those countries, includ
ing England, when the avail
anche of death was loosened in
Europe. The only people Of the
Entente Allies who proved
themselves really patriotic were
the French who emigrated in
large numbers to offer their
services to their country. There
has, on the other hand, been a
very large increase in the nuns
Der Of immigrants from Italy,
Rumania, and even England
since the beginning Of the war.
America, heretofore despised by
Englishmen, suddenly appear
ed most acceptable as a haven
Of refuge to those who prefer
red a life Of ease and comfort
to a display Of real and genuine
patriotism by joining the colors
Of their respective countries.
There is talk of sending an
American army across the ocean
to fight at the side Of the Al
lies. Whether this will event
ually be done or not is a mat
ter for the proper military auth
critics to decide. In the mean
time, Col. Roosevelt desires to
raise a division of American
soldiers, to be taken across the
big pond. He believes that his
recruits could be trained suf-
fciently for the rigors-and ter
rors--of the European battle
fields within two or three
months. If our boys are to
fight for and with the Allies,
the least that could be expect
ed of the Entente nationals in
this country is that they them.
selves should join the colors Of
their countries.
The Webb bill, ought to pass
to reach the thousands upon
thousands Of Entente aliens Of
military age and build in this
country. Get after the allied
fslackers" first.

VIEWS ON The SUBMARINE WAR.
GERMAN OPINION or A YEAR AGO.

taking up arms against us might UNI
favorably influence Greece and Ru'
mania.
"The naval officers, however, put
against these theories the follow
ing. AS soon as we are relieved Of
the necessity Of having any further
regard for the United States we can
conduct our naval war with the
same ruthlessness that the British
hitherto practiced, and like them,
we can set up our own sea law. This
would enable us to declare all Great
Britain and Ireland forthwith as
blockaded and notify all concerned
that any and every ship, no matter
what flag she might carry, which
still attempted to reach English har-
borg, would on entering the war
zone be considered as a blockade
runner and destroyed without warn
ing. Thus we might avoid being
made the victims of such trlokery
as has been used against US hlther-
to, more especially since our .ex-
perience has shown that every
nlAA@ AAGAAAA1A - aAGlI0s
4This proposal, 1t is true, conflicts
with the provisions which hitherto
have prevailed at sea, but as the
British themselves since the begin
ming of the war have not bothered
themselves about any of the sea or
international law regulations that
have been in force, we must ar
rogate to ourselves the same right
and set up regulations In our own
interest. The natural consequences
would be that In the first few weeks
hundred of ships would be destroy
ed in their attempts to reach Eng
lish harbors, and in a few weeks
the result would be that no ship
would again dare take the great
risk OF running our blockade. Eng
land would, therefore, actually be
cut off from every source Of sea sup
ply, and inasmuch as 1t has been
calculated that in peace times the
food supply was only large enough
to last three weeks, it may be as
sumed that now because England,
thanks to our hesitation, has been
piiing up food supplies at an in
ordinate rate, she would be starved
out in perhaps two months.
ITO the views Of our naval Of
fcers statesmen reply that 1t would

THE FORUM!

DO NOT CURB FREE SPEECH.
Omaha, May 8, 1917.
To the Editor
In order to keep history straight
it is but fair to say that the state
ment of the Rev. O. D. Baltzly that
this is Mr.. Wilson's war is true. No
n will deny that the Congress was
ready to do whatever Mr.. Wilson
asked. If he had asked for authority
to arm neutral vessels it would have
been granted him. If he had in
formed the Congress that for secret
reasons Of state it was imperative
for the United States to remain
neutral and that Americans who
entered the war zone would do so at
their own risk, it would have salts
fed the Congress as well as a vast
majority Of the American people.
This would have been consistent
with his actions in Mexico and with
his actions on the Panama Canal
Zone charges when he stated that
for secret reasons of state (Which
reasons by the way have never been
made public) the Canal Zone charges
would on the protest of England
have to apply to American shipping.
II is not a question of whether
Mr.. Wilson did right or did wrong.
The glory or the blame for this war
will rest on his shoulders, where it
belongs, and it is not in any way
reasonable to make this plain state
ment of facts. We have more to
lose in CURLING freedom Of speech
than in gaining or losing the war
because free government cannot exist
without absolute freedom of speech
and If any man has the courage to
be one of a small and unpopular
minority he should be accorded that
right.
Yours respectfully,
TaÌˆgliche Omaha tribuÌˆne. [volume] (Omaha, Nebr.) 1912-1926, 1917-05-09

meanB the universal indignation Of
neutrals; that the whole world
would at once send up a chorus
about German barbarlsm II neutral
ships were sunk without warning
and their crews perhaps sent, to Their
doom. To this we reply that the
indignation OF neptrals In a matter
which concerns our existence IL to
US an affair Of just as complete In
difference as 1t is at present to tks
British, who are continuously tramp
ling all rights Of the neutrals under
foot.
"As for the charge OF barbarlsm
this already has been raised against
us with such violence that the cry
can hardly become much louder than
1t already is, and finally 1t is a much
greater act OF barbarism to sacrifice
hundreds OF thousands of u W
people through this immeasurably
prolonged war. II 1t at any rate
more humane In a position Of emer-
gency to sacrifice a couple Of thous.
and lives than hundreds Of thous-
ands. If England, then, 10 left TO the
fate she at first planned for US:
namely, when she lie confronted by
starvation, she will be compelled to
surrender Internationally, unless she
wishes to be starved out. With the
fall Of England, however, Russia and
France will also automatically coll
lapse like the organs of a body
whose heart has been bored through.
Then also America will remain Isot
ated.
"As to points Nos. 2 and 3, which
the statesmen make, we reply that
the speedy ending Of the war would
not even give the Yankees time to
supply the money and munition to
Europe, especially as such deliveries
presuppose the possibility Of ships
being able to enter enemy harbors,
and this is just what would be
prevented by the utmost ruthless
ness with which our U-boat warfare
would be waged. Finally, as to the
fourth point, 1t may be assumed that
Rumania and Greece would, for rea
sons Of safety first, wait to observe
the further course Of events, and
If a breach with America were to be
followed at once by. the needs,
namely, giving no further period Of
grace like that which is to expire
March !, the desired results With
the two States named would not be
long in forthcoming. For US. our
success, even in the case of Ruma.
MIA and Greece would o have
proper effect.
ITO this again the statesmen re-
ply: Who grantees that things win
happen as you say? 1t is easy for
you to talk, as you do not bear the
responsibility. However, we who
must shoulder the terrible respon.
sibility have the feeling that we
shall start in on an incaleulable
gamble if we do as you advise
Gas to that, Of course, we naval
men naturally have nothing to say,
for II we ourselves are firmly con.
WINGED that things viii happen just
as we say they will, we cannot be
expected in advance to provide the
proofs. And If one prefers the ma
kim caution Is the mother Of wis.
DOM to the maxim he who dares
wins. there is nothing TO be said"

THE A CARTRIDGES
OF OPTIMISM.
lBoston Journal.

Those who adhere to the
theory Of a sudden German de-
cline due to the German peoples
reputation of the monarchy are
elated, no doubt, by the recent
reports Of industrial strikes and
bread riots in Berlin. They were
similarly elated a few days ago
by a picturesque report to the
effect that the Kaiser was flee
ing for his life. They believed
that the last days of the war
had come when they read I'M
official British stories of the
trench-distribution OF President
Wilson's address.
But such optimism is danger
Gus; as dangerous as the as
sumption 81 months ago, that
the war could not last through
the winter. 1t is believable that
the German people have grown
restless under the pressure Of.
food restrictions and depressed
over the rising Of new enemies /;
it is suspected, too, that the,
people doubt the strategy Of
the present German retreat. Yet
to picture Germany tumbling in
to revolution and defeat at this
stage Of the war is plainly ride
ulous.
The threatened railroad strike
in America was a worse sugges-
ton of disloyalty and a worse
threat Of national impotence
than any sign yet betrayed BY
Germany. Three distinct fur
ries of rebellion in the United
States Congress. the third Of
which is at its height, arc
more disturbing indications Of
national confusion than any
that have been mentioned in
even the widest of German
rumors.
Every nation in Europe OUT
side the Central Powers them
selves underestimated Ger.
many's strength and tenacity.
Let us not make the same
mistake. David Lloyd George,
hanging director of the war
against Germany. has warned us
against repeating the Allies
plumbers. One of the worst Of
those plumbers was a happy ex-
pectation that the German gov.
eminent would prove top-heavy.
Granting that the present Ger
man government will not last
forever; granting that Germany
is near the breaking point
financially and much weakened
morally, we are still forced to
assume, for the sake of our own
safety that Germany can be de.
feated only by the strength OF
her enemies, and not by her own
weaknesses

NOT WE, Mr.. CONGRESS
A

The following is from the
Associated Press report on the
debate respecting the 5000
100000 loan in the House OF
Representatives.
"Repr. Fordney declared he
favored increasing the mail rate
on newspapers and magazines,
which he said were not paying
their just share OF postal sery-
ice cost.
"The newspapers and maya
zines, that have done more than
any other influence to bring on
the war -" Fordney began,
when he was interrupted by
loud applause.
Nothing would do more to
add to the income of newspapers
than a war, and they should pay
their share Of its expense he
continued
