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

The wages of every workingman and
the price obtained by the farmer for
every bushel Of wheat depend upon
the freedom of the seas.
Freedom on the seas is just like
freedom on land; it means nothing if
one person or nation is free to treat
another just as he wishes. Real iree-
dom means that all people shall have
equal rights upon the seas, protected
and regulated by known and accepted
rules of law. If we had allowed Ger
man submarines the kind Of freedom
they demanded, American industry
would now be wrecked and the Amer
lean farmer would be fortunate to get
fifty cents for his wheat.
Great Britain and Germany are
trying to starve each other. This is
perfectly legal war object. 1t is the
siege method, which has been en-
ployed from the beginning of civilized
war. No great nation has ever before
been besieged, because mechanical
means for doing it never before ex-
listed.
When nation is conducting a siege,
1t is allowed to stop all trade of neu-
trails with the besieged area, on con-
dition that recognized rules are COM
piled with. The action of Great Brit
ain and Germany is to be judged ac-
cording to the methods they employ.
Great Britain has laid out certain
zones" on the seas, blocking entrance
to Germany from all seas except the
Baltic. All vessels found in these
zones" are brought to British port
and searched. Those on the way to
Germany are held. Those for other
countries are allowed to go on If they
contain nothing of use to Germany
This prohibition includes goods to be
shipped overland to Germany from
Holland or Denmark, or over the Baltic
from Norway or Sweden. It includes
also goods for use in those coun-
tries to take the place of their own
goods shipped to Germany. If, for in
stance, Holland ships all her own lard
to Germany, intending to supply her
self from America, Great Britain con-
siders this an evasion of the blockade,
and stops the extra American lard
shipped to Holland
No lives are imperilled in this work
All case of vessels stopped are
promptly tried in regular courts Elk
cept in the case of goods universally
acknowledged to be contraband, all
losses are paid for.
Germany has laid out zones" cut
ting off Great Britain, France, and
Italy from all the world. She has an
nounced that any vessel found in
these zones, going anywhere, with any
cargo, is liable to instant destruction
by her submarines. 1t is not, as is
sometimes stated, only vessels carry
Ing munitions. The submarine has no
means of telling the innocent from the
guilty. If it makes mistake, no court
can make it right later, for the evil
nence is destroyed on the spot The
essence of law is that acts shall be
examined by courts. In destroying
evidence, the submarine is an outlaw.

The special session of the legisla-
ture meets on the 18th of February.
1t will be a war legislature and take
into consideration of providing ways
and means for raising funds for the
continuation of the war. The state
has already expended for the govern
ment about $S0O,000. A bill will come
I'D asking the legislature to give the
governor the right to appoint an u.
S. senator in place of the late Paul
o. Husting, until the general election
in 1918. Other bills which are to be
considered:
Relating to the voting of soldiers.
To amend the automobile license
laws to permit manufacturers and
dealers to drive vehicles across the
state to and from sales agencies with
out licenses.
To permit increases in salaries of
public school teachers during the war.
To allow the board of regents of
the normal schools to advance wages
of teachers during the war.
Relating to the civil service laws.
To amend the laws relating to the
registration of nurses.
To amend the laws governing the
Milwaukee House of Correction so
that inmates may work outside the
walls during the war. This will aid
in the labor supply of the state which
is of importance during the war period
One of the most important bills is to
enact legislation prohibiting melting
or attempting to incite insurrection
or SeditiOn."

Az Ry Your Mother!

And for your country, boy, and for

To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
slr-What jobs can be found for the
one-armed man2
In placing cripples IL is many times
easier to nnd employment for leg cases
than for men who have lost a hand or
an arm. But there are many types Of
work which a man with but one arm
can perform satisfactorily. This is
proved by the number Of arm crippIes
who are found holding down full-sized
jobs. But each new cripple must be
placed according to his own talents and
experience, and this requires a knowl-
edge Of jobs in many lines which IL
might be possible for these handicapped
men to hll.
Inc question as TO what Jobs can be
held by one-armed worker can best
be answered by trade workers them
selves. In almost every trade there are
automatic machines which require but
one hand or foot to operate or feed
them In almost every business there
are positions as tlme-keepers or in
spectors which require a good head and
but one hand with which 10 record OBJ
