British for Rescuing Fifty.
six U-Boat Victims

Captain c. j. Sytor, of the Belgian
tank steamship Kasbek, Ia now in port
from Liverpool. In the latter city the
skipper was presented with a shve cup
by the British Government for rescuing
ifty-six members OF the crew OF the
British steamship Clan MacNab, which
had been %torepdoed by a German SUBJ
marine.
The Kasbek, which trades regularly
between Philadelphia and European
ports, and the Clan MacNab, on August
4 last, were under way with an escort
of two torpedo boat destroyers. when
without warning the Clan MacNab was
torpedoed and sunk within three min
utes. There were two explosions ana
an enormous amount. of wreckage was
thrown in the air.
notwithstanding the risk of having
his own vessel torpedoed, Captain Sytor
lowered his boats and circled his mp
around the locality until hfty-siN men
were picked up and brought sately
aboard his ship. Forty-eight other sea
men were lost. They had been killed
by the explosion. On four other occa-
sions Captain Sytor had encountered
German submarines, but each time es-
capped them.

Government to Captain c. j. Sytor,

Presidents fourteen points were ac'
cepted as a whole, exception was taken
TO that clause.
1t Is believed, however, that on
closer examination the objection will
disappear. Great Britain's need of the
largest navy, owing to her insular
position and her need for communi.
cation with her colonies and de-
tendencies, Is generally fecognized,
The Presidents doctrine of the free
dom of the seas is understood to mean
that Great Britain may not maintain
the largest navy, and at the same
time be the exclusive interpreter of
sea laws.
Theoretically, this may mean every.
thing or nothing; but the important
thing is the sense in which the doc
trine Is being put forward in the Peace
Conference. There must be an agree
ment among the nations regarding the
laws and rules of the sea, to which
all will submit. This would give Great
Britain the commercial and other adj
vantages desired without making her
sea supremacy a military menace.
1t has been contended in England
that IL the freedom of the seas, as thus
interpreted, had prevailed, and if the
British navy had not employed the
blockade, Germany would not have
been beaten. This Is probably true;
but Germany has been beaten. and, II
is argued in some quarters, that it IL
better not to start afresh on the basis
that a wrong can be justified because
1t leads to a good end. 1t is pointed
out that Germany might seek to jus
tify her use of submarines by similar
logic. 1t is asserted that the freedom
Of the seas as thus interpreted woult
in ynowise hamper England in looking
after her worldwide interests, ant
confidence Is felt that her objections
to it will disappear with frank discus
sion.

Paris, Dec. "a.
In the course of n conversation on
Peace.Conference problems n French
statesman surprised me by saving
that France was not particularly in.
terested in the question of the German
colonies.
That is a matter" he said, which
the French consider as exclusively
British. and we are prepared to agree
unquestionably to any conclusion

restoration of part of the colonies, should

he replied, but there is no danger of
the British c%onsenting to their restora.
ton.
There re three sufficient reasons for
not restoring the colonies. The first
concerns the naval activity of future
wars. There Is no question in French
opinion that the submarine will be the
chief naval machine of the future. IT
is true that after peace is signed and
we get to a second congress for such
matters as a league of nations we shall
try TO formulate some rule to prohibit
submarine atrocities in future wars;
hut pevprtheleSS II will mot ha Co.,
gotten that we have TO deal with Ger.
many and have to watch her subma.
inc activities. For that reason Eng
land cannot afford to let Germany have
colonies which would serve as build.
ing places and bases for powerful sub.
marine fleets.
Second, it is greatly to be feared
that Germany would in future use
her colonies as places in which to
raise. train and equip vast black armies
to be transported to Europe.
Third, there are the political rela.
tions between England and her Afri-
can possessions. They constitute a
great factor III the German colony
problem. The German colonies were
conquered not by the English, but by
British colonial troops, largely from
South Africa. where there is a mixed
English and Dutch population. These
English colonies will not tolerate the
restoration of the German colonies and
the consequent to themselves.
So Great Britain now has a chance, by
letting Cape Colony keep what 1t has
won. to build up in that colony the
same loyalty and devotion to the crown
that exists in Canada and Australia"
