Where the Code Comes In

Maybe they'll have to settle it with
pistols az ten paces-they meaning Ar
gentina's minister Of foreign affairs,
Pueyrredon. and Won Luxburg, Ger
many's minister at Buenos Aires.
Won Luxburg. in his Infamous advice to
Berlin via Sweden, declared Pueyrredon
to be "a notorious ass and, as exhibit A,
in proof thereof. makes the statement
that PueyIredon himself suggested the
sinking Of Argentine ships without leav-
ing a trace" as a means Of preventing
complications.
Naturally, exhibit A makes PueyITedon
red hot and he pronounces Won LuXburg
to be without doubt the greatest most
shameful. bare-faced liar he ever met IN
all his experience.
Evidently the diplomatic code Of honor
IS busted. somewhere, and il Is nowhere
written therein that the alleged dlplo-
matte ass and the liar should lie down
together in peace.
Germany and Argentina may settle
their differences over the use Of Sweden
but what other recourse have Won Lux
burg and Pueyrredon save pistols

Equal Rights of Men
Mean Equal Duties,
All Over the World

For many years this country has kept
its doors open to the oppressed of all
nations.
We have invited them to the land Of
the free and the home of the brave
We have told them that here was free
dom of speech and Of the press.
We have insisted that here MAN must
have his RIGHTS.
We have fought for these, have put
them in party platforms and have de-
manded them in the courts.
We were ready to fight even the courts
when they interfered.
Now we face a crisis. We are in a
world war.
We find that we must make a STAND
for the RIGHTS we have been talking
about.
We find the rights Of man are not
local or merely national, but universal
We find that to protect the RIGHTS
of Americans as men, we must protect
the rights Of other men all over the
world.
And that means that we have come To
point where We must consider III TIES
as we'll as RIGHTS.
One of those duties is the duty Of
every man to make the necessary indi-
vidual sacrifice to preserve those
RIGHTS.
To gain those rights many Of our am
cestors gave their lives in the revolu-
tionary war. To preserve those rights
many of them gave their lives in the
war of the rebellion.
And now we find that to hold those
rights We must make whatever sacrifice
is necessary to gain the same rights fol
our brothers all over the world
The preservation Of these rights m
wolves responsibility. It involves duty

Edward A. Fiene. Boston merchant,
has presented TO the American Academy
OF Political and Social Science a valuable
paper in which he points out the need
of having represented in the council
which shall draw up the treaty of peace
for this war a suitable number of per-
sons who represent the masses and the
business interests of the various coun-
tries involved
| sually treaties are arranged by dip
lomats, whose aims are purely political
and often dynastic. They play their OBJ
,cure and devious game of political chess
and the people have TO abide by their
conclusions.
But the time is past when any set Of
politicians, however able can with safe
~ be given a blank check which tho
myriad popSilace is to fill out with money
and blood
The men who make the coming treaty
must have in mind the welfare of the
people. and not alone the advantage of
This or Thar nation. Direct represents
tives of labor, Of business, and of agri-
culture should have their say
For as Fernand Engerand said. In the
Echo he Paris, tine peace that VIII CON
cIude this unparalleled war win be the
greatest event in history. A long.
very lonq peace must be its main object.
The problem 70 be solved is nothing less
than to rebuild Europe for to have
good peace it viii be necessary 10 have
good Europe"
He might have said "a good world"
And to have a good world. one in which
So frghtful a calamity as this Teutonic
outbreak cannot possibly occur, it Is alb
solutely necessary TO prevent, by the COM
bned power Of mankind, any one nation
from creating such "a military force AS
can threaten the peace OF the earth.
Ii is the program Of miLtarsm, in
which every nation except America was
more or less entangled, that is the danger
( to civilization. The path 70 glory, or any
prospect of IL, for any one nation by
means Of its armed forces. must be for
ever closed The world viii never be- de-
ivered. for instance, from the fear Of
the German military machine until IL is
reduced to such small proportions that
il ceases 10 be a possible menace.
II is going to be hard for triumphant
France, England, and Italy to disband
the forces that have won them glory, but
that is precisely what must be done
W,r is an anachronism Il has no
proper place in modern life. Nations can
expand and races excel in other ways.
And unless the treaty Of peace that con-
GUIDES this struggle provides i'm prac-
ticaI way some form Of world agreement
or world government which shall put an
end forever TO the possibility of one unit
Of national egotlsm attacking the rest Of
the world, in a mediaeval dream of con.
quest, il viii be useless
There is something worse than Prus-
sian mlitarsm; il is that idea of mill
ta1stc pre-eminence that still fingers
from the bloody past to curse all nations.
BY all means let US insist that the
treaty of peace shall be drafted by the
representatives of the people, and not by
diplomats only.

How About Those

cause have found J can trust Pre- linie
This woman is not alone in her com
plant.
No less than an even dozen wives,
claiming themselves dependents entirely
upon the earnings Of their husbands for
support. have come TO The Times with
the same query this woman makes.
The Times has referred these women
to the draft boards. and has recommend
ed appeal to the president if found ncces-
sary. having been powerless to do any
more and having all confidence that the
men selected for the responsibility OF
guarding the draft would meet II with
their best intelligence and judge Of every
case impartially with the idea Of prevent
ing unnecessary hardship anywhere.
That here and there a mistake should
be made in the giant task Of getting to-
gether a national army in hurry, Is no
reflection upon any board making it. yet
it is a mistake just the same, and 1t is
the opinion Of this newspaper that there
should be a way of correcting the mistake
without having to wait until it can be
brought to the attention Of the president
with his multitudinous duties and cares
in time of war.
Mistakes HAVE been made and "a a
result of them the presidents very plain
ly spoken rule stands violated.
We do not know that men who should
be with the army are not there.
We do know that if this wife who
writes The Times has stated her case
fairly, an injustice has been done, and
that injustice exactly what President
Wilson wished to guard against.
A married man whose wife becomes a
dependent by his going into the army is
needed more at home and can best serve
his country at home.
The situation is not that desperate at
this time that we are called upon to sac
rifce our women nor to pauperize them.
There are enough single men at hand
to meet the present emergency.
There were nearly enough young men
married in a hurry in Detroit, following
the declaration of war, to make up De-
troit's first full quota.
Send one of them in the place Of the
married man who isn't at heart a Stacker

POTATO PROFITS MOUNT.
Difference Widening Between
Wholesale and Retail Prices.

Widening breach of cost between
wholesale and retail prices in food
products is shown in a statement on
potato prices compiled from an official
source and made public by the food ad-
mtntstration.
The difference between the wholesale
and retail prices for potatoes for a pre-
war period Of five years. 1903 to 1913,
inclusive, averaged J4.G7 cents per
buShel. IN 1914 the average difference
was 42.72 cents per hushel. and in 1915
Il was 4G.12 cents. In 1916 il rose 10
an average Of 1851 with 29.I2 in Sep
tember as a low water mark. j
Figures are available for only the
first three months of 1917. They show
the average difference was s1 90 cents.
with March as the highest when the
difference had grown TO 1910 cents.
This difference, it was explained, does
not represent the retailers profit alone
but includes all charges of distribu-
ton between wholesaler and retailer.

GERMAN TORPEDO
SUPPLY WEAK ENING

Washington, July 15.-"The Ger
man torpedo supply is weakening; the
torpedo has lost nearly ten knots in
its speed since the outset of the war
and hence has deteriorated in accur-
acy of fire." declares a statement is
sued today by the Navy League of the
United States, after close study of
the situation by it's technical experts.
Germany, in this one essential, was
not prepared for the war, the experts
maintain. She had not a sufficient
stock of torpedoes; she expended too
much in her land operations; she
made great sacrifices Of her torpedo
supply to crafty the folly of the
crown prince in his vain efforts to
take the fortresses of Verdun.

PRISONER OF WAR
HAS RETURNED
Yorkville Boy Tells of His Experience
in Germany, and of U-BOat
Activities.

Yorkville, July 14.-Jomes Moore
18-year-old son of Mr.. w. T. Moore
of this place, arrived in Yorkville
Wednesday morning, after an absence
of three and half years, during
which time he has travelled over much
of the world and had some very thrill
ing and interesting experiences. He
came to Yorkville direct from Berlin,
Germany, where he had been for three
months or more prisoner of the
Teutons, having been picked up at
sea on February by submarine
after the sub had torpedoed the YES
sci he was on, the Norwegian freight
ed Storskog.
Young Moore left Yorkville three
and half years ago, having been
thoroughly inoculated with wanderlust
serum. He was quite a boy, and his
first stop was at Winston-S Salem, N.
c., where he worked 70 rseveral weeks
in tobacco factory. Then he moved
over to City Point, Va, and from there
went to Norfolk. There was much de-
mand for seamen at that port, and he
applied for a job and was signed on
vessel loaded with grain for France
as an able seaman, though he didn't
know anything worth mentioning
about ship. He had the nerve, how
ever, to carry him across, and if the
officers of the vessel ever knew that
he was anything else than what he
claimed, they didn't say anything
about it. Since that time he has
travelled over big portion of the
world as a sailor in the merchant ma
rine service of Great Britain, where
he is rated as an able seaman and
gunner, and has two more years to
complete his enlistment. He expects

expect to win, of course, as all nations
do when they are at war. The people
are pretty cheerful over the situation.
"You bet it is good to get back to
country where there is plenty to
eat" continued Mr.. Moore. "That
stuff about there being plenty to eat
in Germany is all stuff. There is no.
body in Berlin but women, and they
don't talk about war. What they are
talking about and thinking about is
something to eat"
Jimmie says he is going back to the
British merchant marine, and as soon
as he can get out of that he is going
to enlist in the United States navy
which, he says, is the finest body of
men in the world.
