you had entered the war
''Ycu have only to look at the map

there is something more than your

the British and French fighting with
you to reclaim the devastated homes

this better world for all lovers OF

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

Those who discuss the shipping bill, the bill which made it lawful for foreign vessels under tain circumstances to play between two Amer ports should forget that the government had been permitting that of thing before the law passed In other words the law egalized exactly what being done before passed, and nothing has been permitted since the passage of the law that not allowed before That is why there interest the part of the shipping board regarding the appli cation of the law to Alaska. The board had not been allowing foreign vessels, owned by railroad companies to ply regular schedule between American ports It had been permitting foreign steamers trading in America and particularly those under charter to the American government to carry freight between Amer ports they proceeded from place to place in gathering up cargoes discharging them. The board asked Congress make these things they had already been doing lawful and Congress complied When the bill to the committee for discussion it dis covered that prepared it would give the shipping board authority to allow foreign passenger vessels owned and operated by foreign railroad companies, running regular schedule in Alaskan waters to carry freight and passengers between American ports It was urged that this be stricken from the bill. It was pointed out that American railroad companies not permitted to do this and that Canada does not permit American freight and passenger ships op erating on regular schedues-or otherwise-to between Canadian ports The Shipping Board immed- lately announced that it had not allowed such proceed ure in the past anywhere that it had immediate intention of allowing it, and that it indifferent to whether not the bill amended to deprive the board of authority to permit something not contemplated. and the amendment unani- mously adopted by the committee and passed by Con gress.

SORRY FOR THE DUTCH
(St. Louis Republican,


 No doubt the proud spirit of the Hoanders was afronted by the summary action of the United States and Great Britain in taking possession of their ships In their anger they compare it with the invasion Of Belgium by the Germans.
 As matter of fact, there is no reason why the associated nations should indulge in sefglorfcation over the act of confiscation Their only was the necessity that knows law. Holland had the ships but refused sell lease them; refused them to carry supplies across the Atlantic except in way that would have insured most of supplies falling into the hands of the Germans.
 We had to have the ships, and, failing to obtain them by negotiation, we took them, giving full value to the owners If should retaliate for Hol- lands displeasure by overrunning her country execut ing many of her citizens and holding the others in practical slavery, there might be something the Belgium parallel with this difference: The Germans not forced to invade Belgium. They had no business there at all.
 We feel sorry for the Dutch and understand their position perfectly If their ships help win the war the security which they and all other small neu. trals will have from German interference in future will be worth all the mental anguish shame they seem to be undergoing a result of our piracy"
