road differentials apply not only to
goods destined to or delivered from
American vessels, but to commerce

The new law plants itself firmly
on the principle that the expansion
Of the merchant marine is a national
concern, to be promoted by all legiti-
mate methods. 1t does not dodge
the fact that aid must be given.
This Is we'll, but not enough. Sue

is regrettable that Congress didn't
create a smaller board, with three
members instead Of seven, and give
the members larger salaries than

country is none too good to be en-
ployed in this new and vastly i'm

"Arts Of Persuasion"

What did Bernstorff say to tho
President or tho President to Bern
storf TO convince the willy ambassa-
dor that America "would never
enter upon war with Germany?
Yet such Is the statement his ac-
count Of his residence here reveals
him al making. The interview from
which he gained his confidence took
place Immediately after the sinking
OF the Lusitania. Bernstorff, hear
ing breach was imminent, hurried
to the White House. There he en-
ployed, as he says, "all our available
arts Of persuasion"
What were these arts? He did
not, Of course, prevent the President
from writing minatory notes. But
had he reason to believe that, as Mr.
Bryan is said to have told Dr.
Dumba, they really meant nothing!
That the German government 30 re-
gardcd them iy obvious. In Mr.
Root's words, the President first
shook fist and then finger, while
tho Germans went on taking Amcri-
AN lives.
1t VIII be recalled that the Bern

storff warning to Americans not to
travel was published on the day the
Lusitania sailed. Bernstorff now de-
scribes the episode as zone Of those
condolences beloved of history"
Long is the arm of coincidence, but
it can hardly be stretched to reach
thus far. Bernstorff is impudent
when explaining his action. II sup
posed" he says, "that. modern
liner, if actually struck, would re-
main afloat long enough to allow the
rescue Of her passengers" Even a
landsman could not help knowing
that the passengers on a torpedoed
ship must be in great peril.
1t is clear, at any rate, that the
diplonatist who found Colonel House
Every useful" had no less success in
dealing with Colonel Houses great
and good friend. Much about those
months of note writing at Washing
ton is coming out, first and last.
Bernstorff is a witness capable Of
giving first-hand evidence. He was
artful, but easy is it to persuade
those who wish to believe.

Poor Old Life

Life has been running a losing
race ever since the movies began to
hit on all twelve cylinders. Life
never was much for the sustained
dramatic effect, anyway. In order
to write readable novel or listen
able play authors have had to play
fast and loose with life, leave out
months and years of episodes alto
gether, compress days and weeks into
sentences, and, conversely, write
whole chapters about crucial mo-
ments. AS it actually unfolds, life
is dramatic only exceptionally and
for brief moments. Nine-tenths OF
the time it is as dull and packed with
anti-climaXes as n realistic novel Of
the modern psychological school.
Therefore it seems fitting to con-
gratulate life on having, in the
Elwell case, beaten the films at their
own game. Judging by the first
reel and awaiting further revela-
tions with due suspense, we can
think Of no movie better calculated
to thrill and horrify agreeably. None
of the Sherlock Holmes descendants
has produced better first chapter.
Every discovery touching the char
acter and habits of the victim tends
to heighten the dramatic possibilities.
Equally every fact revealed tends
to differentiate Elwell from tho
ordinary types Of human beings and
make his fate significant chiefly to
scenario writer's. A gentleman
gambler, combining cultivated
mind and good taste with zest for
stalking everything for the joy Of ad-
venture, is q rare figure, indeed.
The general run of mortals is
either 500 cautious or too coarse to
meet any such complex and cxtraor-
dinary fate. Life has achieved
dramatic success in her latest local
murder; but she can scarcely hope
to repeat often enough to worry the
film folk with competition.

The Shipping Act

The new shipping law realizes to
a large extent the hopes Of those
who have labored to bring about a
revival Of our merchaHt marine.
Prior to the war our deep sea mer-
chant shipping, practically left to
shift for itself, was inconsiderable
in tonnage. OF American oversea
imports and exports the percentage
carried in American bottoms was
only 8.75 in 1901 and 0.38 in
1911-'12, against 1873 in 1803-'94
and 11.7 in 1894-'95. Our vessels
couldn't compete, and Congress
couldn't be persuaded that to equal
lze conditions was economically
worth while.
a few postal subventions were paid
to lines carrying the mails, but the
assistance was inconsequential. Con-
gress turned in panic toward gov
eminent construction when German
tonnage was driven from the seas
and Allied tonnage was suddenly
converted to war uses. We feared
practical blockade. When we en-
tered the war vast program OF
government building and operation
was launched. Wholesale construc-
ton seemed to offer the only hope OF
defeating the German U-boat CAM
paign.
The war revolutionized American
ideas about the value of a national
merchant marine. We built one as a
matter OF military policy. We expect
to retain it for both military and
economic reasons. The present law
embodies the new American view.
1t says that "it is necessary for
the national defense and for the
proper growth Of it's foreign and
domestic commerce that the United
States shall have merchant marine
of the best equipped and most suit
able types of vessels, sufficient to
carry the greater portion Of it's COM
merce and serve as a naval or mill.
tary auxiliary in time of war, ulti-
mately to be owned and operated
privately by citizens Of the United
States" The power and credit of
the nation are pledged to develop
and maintain such a. feet.
The law, therefore, provides FOR
the termination of government
ownership and operation. 1t orders
the sale of the present government
fleet under safeguards which will
keep the vessels in American hands.
so far as is desirable, and will re-
turn to the Treasury something of
its enormous war investment. Con-
troll OF the deep sea fleet will be
exercised by an enlarged Shipping
Board, and all government agencies
will be employed to sustain new
trade lines by giving them prefercn-
tial rights and economic advantages.

4 Gallant Figure

(Mark SulNvon, IN Tho Nseo York Eventno
Post)
OF all the candidates, Wood was
the most gallant figure in defeat. He
met defeat standing squarely in his
solid military boots in the middle of
tho entrance to his headquarters, Civ
ing to every conner smiles Of almost
jovial composure in return for con-
dolenees.
That ia what duty and taste call for
at such time, and that is what Wood
would always do. He Is one of the
most completely self-disciplined Of liv-
Ing men
Disappointment could readily have
been excused in Wood. In any other
kind Of gathering he should have been
the winner. He had the only con-
siderable body Of delegates in the con-
Vention who really believed in the
candidate, who were loyal to him and
stood by him to the end. Wood had
substantially the same number of dele
gntes on the laat ballot that he had on
the first.
Among his delegates there was ex-
ample after example of that kind of
loyalty which stands to the last ditch.
Wood was really destined to lose.
He was too big man to ft. The
convention here last week was more
than anything else a loose fraternity
OF average men. Wood was too far
outside the Republican lodge. He was
almost as far outside as Hoover.
Wood is a little too distant from the
average; too unusual a man to get
party nomination.
1t wasn't merely the campaign ex-
penditures that prevented Wood from
winning. These expenditures wero
lavish, but 1t was the lavishness of in
experience and hurry. Woods cam
paign had to be big one and an ag-
sressive one. Kls only chance Of
getting the nomination lay in taking
it by assault. The Republican party
would never give 1t to him Of its own
motion.
With the expenditures or without
them, Wood was not the kind of man
q Republican convention nominates
TOR the Presidency. He is too big, too
different, too lacking in common ways
Of thought with the type of man that
makes up conventions. To such men
Wood IS little inscrutable. Instinct
lively they want a man of tho sort
they have seen and shaken hands with
for years on the main streets Of the
dismal homo towns. Mckinley Is the
typo. OF course, Wood is a hearty
and friendly figure, but the politicians,
while they liked him and admired him,
were always troubled with disquiet-
ing wonder whether, in the White
House, he would not be too far above
their smaller ways Of looking at things.
Wood need have no regrets. His
managers need have no regrets. True,
both he and they made many mistakes.
They were bound to make them be-
cause OF their rersotcness from polit-
ical experience. There was nothing he
did and nothing they did that lost
him the nomination. 1t wasn't in the
cards and never is in the cards for
tho Republican party to nominate SO
unusual man, q man whose career
has been so far outside Of politics as
Woods has been.
Wood ends the campaign a gallant
and likable figure to millions Of his
fellow citizens, and, by any standard
you choose, one of tho big men Of his
generation
