The commission Of an overt act' is
therefore no longer essential TO en-
phaslze Germany's hostile purposes
toward us. She threatens to destroy
all neutral shipping-American in
cluded-which ventures into the new
war zone. Her threats have, in eff
feet, already excluded American YES
sells from that zone. Her proclama-
ton has acted as a blockade, sealing
our harbors. Why, then, await the
murder of some individual American
before taking official notice of the
state of war which already exists be-
tween Germany and the United States,
so far as the intrusion OF American
vessels or American passengers into
the zone Of blockade goes?

Force is the only thing which she re,

Editorial Opinion
A NOMINATION no BE BEATEy.
From DC NeW York Tribnne.

a NOMlNAIlON TO BE BEATEN.
From the New York Tribune.
A Republican filibuster such as has
been threatened ought not 10 be
necessary TO beat the confirmation OF
DR.. Grayson's appointment as Medi-
cal Director of the Navy. His unfit
ness for this place. the favoritism
displayed by the President in making
the nomination, the injustice Of II to
the hundred and more men OF fine
attachments and honorable record
over whole heads he was to be Jump
ed, and the consequent Generalization
OF the service-a possibility bad
enough az any time, but at this par
ticular time utterly deplorable-have
been sufficiently demonstrated so that
the appointment ought to be voted
down for its own inherent badness.
il seems altogether likely that the
Democratic Senator's would be glad
TO wash their hands OF this n they
might. What they do. of course, will
depend on what President Wilson does
ON the degree TO which he exerts
pressure to force confirmation OF the
nomination OF his favorite. What they
ought to do is to reject the nomina-
ton, or, at the least. to let Il lapse
with the adjournment OF Congress.
Then, If he really Is anxious to bear
the responsibility for so vicious a
piece OF work. the President might
name his physician as recess APP
pointee taking full blame without en-
deavoring to unload some OF it on the
Senate.
In any case il Is the duty OF the Re
publican Senators and of the Demo
Gratis who rank department efficiency
above obedience to the desires of their
party chief to oppose confirmation 90
the end Attorney General Gregory
has given his opinion that the nOmin-
nation conflicts with the present law.
, To argue that it should be ratified be-
cause-in his opiniOn-the law is I'M
constitutional. and therefore the
appointment really legal, is a pecul
iarly devious whipping OF the devil
around the stump. If the law Is bad,
It ought TO be repeated. Meantime il
ought not to be violated, even at
Presidential behest.

JAPANESE DYES FOR AMERICA.

THE Japan Advertiser reports that the growth Of
dyestufs companies in Japan has caused an over
supply OF certain dyes. and petition has been pre-
scented to the government TO the ban exports
OF dyes.
Japan depended largely upon Germany for dyes, be-
fore the outbreak OF the war; and the cutting off OF
that source Of supply had very depressing effect on
the business OF Japan dyers But the establishment OF
Japanese dye mills quickly accomplished with the
result that japan now has more dyesblhs than she
needs. In all probability the embargo on exports OF
dyes will be removed
The Democratic party enacted a law last Summer
purporting TO lay protective duty dyes. but the
rates unsatisfactory everyone concerned and
tho particularly aggrayating provision Of the law is
that It does not become effective until the declaration
OF European peace. In the meantime Japan will find

and infant dye industry will have competition to
contend with in which the Of labor is about one
