WAR NEWS CENSORSHIP.

The more that is seen of war news
censorship in the nited States the
deeper is the impression that it is
about as useful as a fifth wheel on a
wagon. If it has served yet any good
war purpose the Morning News would
like to know what it is. 1t has given
jobs to number of young men, but,
with plenty of room in the army, young
men are not as plentiful as the jobs
anyhow, and some active censors might
be worth more to the nation carrying
rifles and trenching tools. Maybe if
q few American newspapers, printing
all the news, were permitted to reach
Germany, German officials who think
Uncle Sam does not mean business in
this war would be fewer.
The truth is that the American peo-
pie have the right to know what is go
ing on in this war. The chances are
hundred to one that the German
government knows right now a lot of
things about the participation OF
American vessels in the war which
the American people do not know, ard
yet the American newspapers are not
asking to be allowed to print these
things. They would like to have more
war news, however, of a sort that
would be Of no service to the Germans.
They would like to know things. for
example, that any German spy in this

the enemy This is something W,
should guard against. When a careful
analysis of the situation discloses {
doubt Of our might. we should contrivt
TO have right on our side, unless a sure
means can be found to increase oul
might.
In our dealings with neutral states
lif any, We should be careful not to
invade their rights. except for military
necessity. l lay it down as a princi-
pie that a neutral state never should
he driven into belligerency so long as
lis neutrality operates in our favor.
The highest object of German dip
lomacy, which is most subtle and del
jcate ever achieved by any nation,
should be to keep neutral states from
declaring war on us while we destroy
their commerce and treat them other
wise as enemies.
The principle Of neutrality is a sa-
cred one and should be respected by US
as long as states remaining in that
status supply US with food obtained
from the enemy.
The bonds OF cordiality that bind
our allies to US remain firm. The leg
by which We have Turkey shackled is
getting a little sore, and we may have
10 change the iron to the other leg, but
this is no more than we ought to be
willing to do for a faithful ally that
knows it cannot get away anyhow. Aus

Our policy toward our allies remains
unchanged. 1t is to use them to our
best advantage as long as they will

kULTUR SPEAKS OUT.

The world has not yet been favored
with an official transcript of the new
German foreign minister's inaugural,
in which he appears to have outlined
the remarkable German discovery that
international honesty is sometimes the
best policy, but it is possible to con-
struct what the diplomatists call a
paraphrase of his remarks which
would read about as follows:
Our international policy should, Of
course, be based on right insofar as
the right does not conflict with our
policy of forcibly taking from other
nations whatever we have reason to
think they are incapable of defending.
A policy of might, unsupported by
right, is bound to fail in all cases

But whatever differences may have

races in Belgium have been wiped out
III face of the common enemy They
are united in their detestation of the
Prussian, and every loyal Belgian,
whether Fleming or Walloon, has re-

Scores of these BelgiaLs VINO re-

DUTCH VESSELS MAY
BE COMMANDEERED
Action Likely Unless Agree.
ment Is Speedily Reached.

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 9.-Advocacy on
the part of certain Government officials
of seizure of the Dutch merchant ships
in American ports, due to the failure to
come to an agreement with Holland on
the disposition of their cargoes and the
trade In which the ships shall engage in
the future. Is causing the greatest un-
easiness among the members of the
Dutch commission here to protest
against the operations of the new export
embargo. They are. however, hopeful
of an agreement.
Hitches have arisen to the suggested
arrangement by which portions of the
carSoes would be turned oyer to the Bel
gian relief. In considerati of which
this Government would permit the rest
OF the shipments. chiefly of grain, to
Holland. 1t was said the Dutch had re-
fused TO put their ships on trade routes
which would be of vast help to this Gov
ernment and it's allies In relieving the
problem OF getting wheat from Australia.
Because of the reported obduracy OF
the Dutch authorities there has been an
increasing sentiment in favor of taking
over the tonnage in American harbors
and operating it for the benefit of the
Allies. counter sentiment opposes
testing the principles of international
law to this degree. II is regarded as
certain. however, that unless the Dutch
commission is able to bring about a
change OF opinion drastic action will be
taken to get the idle tonnage into SER
vice.
This policy, once it Is adopted will
apply to other neutrals as well. The
startling revelations of Swedens hand
In glove relations with the German Gov
ernment have heightened this determine
tion.
