A Very Live Tree.

In recent ST. Nicholas there Is q
picture of the battered trunk OF n
tree, broken away In places. and In
side II is growing young tree. The
old lree was one Of the giant redwonds
OF California, and In spite of wind and
fire II has made up its mind to krcp
right on growing in the person of the
y0ung tree in the very spot where IL
has stood for years and years.
Daring terrible storm on the noun
tain the top Of the tree was broken off
and nfterward the trunk was very
nearly destroyed by forest fire, but
the root retained vitality enough to
send up young tree within the trunk,
which protects II from the wind.
The original tree was n splendid spe-
cImen, more than II feet In diameter
and towering high into the mir. and Its
successor VIII probably be of goodly
size when the protecting old trunk
falls away.

Are Submarines Outlaws
BY CARL RUSSELL FISH Professor of American History
in the University of Wisconsin

The oldest provision of international
law is that war vessel. destroying a
merchant vessel, either enemy or neu-
tral, must provide for the safety of
passengers and crew. This the sub
marine cannot do. In some instances
submarine has purposely DESTROYED
them. This was deliberately advised
by Count Luxburg, German Ambassa-
dor to Argentina.
The United States recognized the
British blockade as legal The legal
ity of blockade depends IN proper
notice, on its being effective" and
on its being conducted according to
recognized rules. The British block
ade was duly announced, has been al
most 100 per cent effective, and, with
few exceptions, is conducted as was
our own blockade of the South in the
Civil War. Some disputed points
have been agreed upon; some have
not None involve life; the evidence
for all exists. Great Britain has of
fered to submit doubtful cases to ar
bitration. They will finally go before
the Hague Court, and the property in
vOlved will be given to whoever makes
the best legal case.
The United States holds the German
blockade Illegal; because it has not
been one per cent effective. because 1t
is conducted with absolute disregard
of international law, and because it
violates the first principles of human
ity, upon which international law is
founded. The German government did
not defend its practices as legal, but
argued that it's violations of law were
in retaliation for violations by Great
Britain. and that they were justified by
necessity.
The United States denies that any
act Of one of two fighting nations
justifes the other in illegal actions
against neutrals. The neutral main
tairs his case separately against each
each must be judged by its own acts
II one nation is allowed to cast in
ternational law to the winds, because
it thinks its opponent has. law ceases
to have any meaning.
Still more destructive is the doc
trine OF necessity. Law admits the
argument OF self-defense against the
charge of murder, but in that case
the court judges the evidence. If
every individual or nation is allowed
10 determine what is necessary, they
will constantly decide that anything
convenient is necessary Their own
opinion becomes the guide of action.
their wish is substituted for law.
Our dispute with Great Britain has
been conducted with recognition OF the
supremacy of law. Differences of
opinion are being determined by the
regular processes of law. Germany has
overridden the fundamentals of law.
She has made it contest OF strength
alone II she succeeds, law between
nations vanishes. The only way Of
maintaining our rights, now or In the
future, is to deal with her as law
abiding citizens and nations have al
ways dealt with brigands and pirates;
| that is by force.
