Against the U-Boat.

The inadequacy. of all present pro-
tective measures against the German
submarines is admitted. To meet
them is an elusive and difficult task.
The British admiralty has done mar
vels in the way of fighting the wasps
which infest English coasts, but =
really effective protection against
them has not been devised.
Merely arming American merchant
ships is no solution of the difficulty.
The great majority of British ships
torpedoed, with the exception Of
fishing and sailing craft are armed.
1t is difficult for any gunner to spot
periscope at more than two miles,
while a torpedo can be sent twice
that distance with a fair degree of
accuracy. No matter whether armed
to the teeth or pot, if American ships
traverse the blockade zone it is only
question of time when one of the
liners will be sunk, unless U-boat
commanders are given new instrue-
tions revising their present code as
regards neutral vessels.
Senator Stone did the navy a sorry
service in telling about the plan to
place small submarine "chasers'' on
our merchantmen. This is an Amer
ican idea, and it may yet prove the
most harassing U-boat enemy that
any nation has contributed to the
anti-submarine campaign. The idea
Of establishing a cruiser lane for
armed ships through the blockade
zone is still nebulous at least so far
as the public knows.

ON STORMY DAY.
The rain may spoil a pleasant pleasure.
And rain plans to suit your leisure,
Yet in the train
OF all its pain
Bring fruits of gladness past all measure,
The wind may vex you with its worry.
And all your careful projects furry.
Yet on the sea
For you and me
Great ships and welcome cargoes hurry.
So. wind and rain. tho some despise you.
And here and there some voice decrles
you. 70
Despite your I'll
I love you stih.
And for your certain blessings prize you.

What Leading Newspapers
Say on the War Situation
The Power 10 Arm ships.
: (New York Times)

New York Tmes)
The President must have the power to
supply guns and gunners to merchant
ships for the defense of our rights of
trade by sea. BY filibuster which Sem
ator Hitchcock rightly describes as ''the
most reprehensible in the history of civ
ilized government" the authority to arm
ships has been withheld from him. and
1t is believed that an old and forgotten
law stands in the way-of his taking that
step without special authorization. The
perverse and disloyal obstructionists of
the Senate must be overcome. Congress
must confer upon the President the pow
er granted in the Senate bill. Otherwise
the government of the United States will
fail in the performance Of its primary
duty, to protect its citizens in the exer~
else Of their lawful rights.
The great authority OF John Marshall
supports that opinion. THE very essence
of civil liberty consists in the right Of
every Individual to claim the protection
Of the laws, whenever he receives an in
jury" said Chief Justice Marshall In
Marbury VS.. Madison; "one Of the first
duties Of government is to AFFORD that
protection" He cited Blackstone's dec
laration that 'ft is a settled and invari-
able principle in the laws Of England that
every right. when withheld, must have a
remedy; and every injury its proper re-
dress" That invariable principle Is a
foundation stone Of American institutions
THE government of the United States
has been emphatically termed a govern
ment Of laws. and not OF men," contin-
ued the Chief Justice. "1t will certainly
cease to deserve this high appellation II
the laws furnish no remedy for the viola
tion OF vested legal right"

No Longer Shall the VIII of the

New York Herald)
"a little group of wilful men repre-
senting no opinion but their own have
rendered the great government Of the
United States helpless and contempti-
ble."
The Presidents excoriation of those
members OF the United States Senate
who. by resort to methods that can onlv
be called disgraceful. prevented that body
reaching a vote on the ARMED neu-
trality'' bill, accurately reflects the sen-
timent OF the American people, but Is
not nearly so strong as most Ameri-
cans would put It. Whatever may be
their pitiful excuses. the outstanding fact
Is that In an hour OF grave national
Peril Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette and
the ten others who stood with him
against a vote have done their best
to give aid and comfort to the Prus-
sianism whose boast It has been that
when a crisis came this would be found
divided country. Fortunate will be
the eleven men now on this nations
blacklist II their names do not go down
in history bracketed with that of Bene-
dict Arnold!
The country will give its hearty ap-
proval to the Presidents insistence upon
the necessity Of prompt revision Of the
Senate rules as 1t does to his criticism
OF those whose act in an hour Of ma
tonal peril has made revision impera-
tive. Whatever may have been said in
behalf Of the Unanimous consent meth
cd OF procedure in the past whatever of
merit that method may have possessed
the fact that It has made possible the
Gripping OF the nation makes ineyita-

Call an Extra Session at Once,
New York Trihunel

CSew York Trbune)
Inc Tribune has no sympathy what
ever with the motives Of the Senators
who talked the so-called armed neutral
ity bill to death. We urged Congress to
grant the President all the powers he
asked for after reducing them to posi-
tive, concrete form. We should have been
glad to see Congress give him powers far
exceeding those which he asked for. We
believe that Congress should have de-
clared war on Germany as soon as it
learned that American lives had been lost
through the murderous attack on the La
conia
We regret the defeat OF the armed neu-
trality bill. even though We think that a
resort to armed neutrality would be a
pitifully inadequate and unworthy an
swer to Germany's practical declaration
Of war on the United States. Under ex-
isting circumstances armed neutrality can
be only subterfuge and a fizzle On Ger
many's part a state OF war already ex-
lists. She is reaping all the benefits of
that status and suffering none OF its in
conveniences. On our part a state of
peace exists. We are suffering all the
disadvantages of that status and reaping
none OF its benefits. The only possible
way to rationalize the present situation
is for the United States to declare war.

Trial of Everett
|. W. VS. Is In Progress

Seattle, Wash, March 9.--Lester
Beard, aged %, son of former deputy
sheriff, Jefferson Beard, who was kill
ed November ) at Everett in the cr
counter between !. w. WIS and armed
citizens, was the first witness called by
the state this morning.
He described in detail the hours he
spent with his father before the lat
ter's death. He identified his father IS
bullet punctured clothing.
Prosecutor Roy Black consumed an
hour and 20 minutes in his opening adj
dress to the jury. His statement was
interrupted by the court when two men
were elected from the courtroom for
laughing. The laughter was the result
of a statement concerning an incident
previous to November 5 when Al l.
w. WIS were beaten up by nok OF
masked men in Everett.
In his opening statement Prosecutor
Black said the state would show that
the defendant, Thomas Tracy, was a
leader in the shoting; a bullet from
his gun was among the first fired that
resulted in Beard s killing. He pointed
out that the I. w. WIS went to Everett
looking for trouble, and threats had
been made to "get" Everett officials
He said that the state would show that
the L. w. WIS were unfriendly to la.
Dor and their purpose in visiting Ey
erett was to breed a sore by advocat-
ing sabotage in the Everett mills
Black also stated that the two hun
dred and sixty who made the triT
from Seattle to Everett on the steam
er Verona practically admitted theH
guilt by throwing away their weapons
on the return trip to Seattle.
