GERMANY'S DISPOSITION

jefferson Bee: With reference to
the Presidents armed ship PROPOSE
ton, it may be said that if up to
this time Germany has been able to
torpedo our ships without having 1t
considered an act of war, there is no
reason why the mere fact that our
ships fire back should bring on a
state of war. If Germany is as long
suffering as we, are. she can readily
construe our action as being some
what unusual, but forced upon us
by the necessities of the case. in
fact she might las a good sport con-
slider the whole matter in the light
of friendly contest to see which OF
us can destroy the most ships. Tn
happily, however, Germany is SC
constituted that she may not be SC
patient as we have been and it is
confidently stated that a shock like
that of the Lusitania would haze
thrown her clear off her eluilib-
|brium. At any rate, we are going
to see what her disposition is under
the tit-for-tat rule.

the Chinese field for commercial de-
velopment after the war shall re-
main open on favorable terms to the
entente coalition, while bars are to
be put against Teuton commerce.
Germany had made great commercial
progress in China before the War.
Notice has now been served on Ber-
lin that it need not expect to renew
its contest for Chinese trade under
favorable terms at the close of the
war. One can imagine that mott
Ification of the new handicap will
make rather gloomy reading for Ger
man economists now at work on
plans for making the best of avail
able opportunities when the COM
mercial machine shall have replaced
the military machine in the irrecon-
cilable conflict for world mastery.
incidentally notice has been serv-
ed on the United States and othe,
neutrals to consider the adversely OF
not being in with the right crowd
either before or after the close of the
war. If entente maneuvering car
influence the course of events the
United States is to be shown that II
cannot afford to stay out of tne
greatest military and commercial al,
lance the world has ever seen-a
greater combination than had been
dreamed of by the most visionary 81
world politicians before the urge Of
recent events broke down traditional
barriers to the cooperation of con
ficting old world ambitions.
After we have smiled over the
idea of helpless China entering tho
far away conflict against her ow,
volition, let us put on our thinking
caps and ponder over the possible
ity of a similar response to old worlf
pressure on our part.
