The Second Note to Berlin
ffi
AD documents descendants and were
there) a posterity of glorious pronounce
ments, the lino would leap from the Magna
Charter to tho Immortal Declaration, run
I nobly down td tho emancipation Proclama
tion and find at length a worthy scion In tho
great utterance which has gone to Berlin as
the deliberate and Irrovocablo position of a
people apt In tho practtco of humanity and
Impregnated with tho principles of liberty.
"The Government of the United States Is con
tending: for something much greater than
mero rights" of property or privileges of com
merce, It is contending for nothing less high
and sacred thnn the rights of humanity,
Which every Government honors Itself In re
specting and which no Government Is Justi
fied In resigning In behalf of thoso under Its
care and authority."
"Thank God I am an American," every
citizen can say this day, for ho Is part and
parcel, bone and sinew, flesh and blood of
this new declaration, which voices the heart
of human aspirations, of civilized Ideals and
an unerring alleglanco through famine and
Borrow, pestilence and flood, through all
vicissitudes, to those fundamental and In
herent principles without which human kind
must sink Into the pits of barbarism and
he dark caverns of despair.
HELIKS FIRST ON HUMANITY.
18 peculiarly inspiring that in this latest
note the Government brushes aside the
mere legal aspects of the situation They
are all In our favor, the precedents, the cus
toms, the accepted law, but In making its
representations the United States relies first
"upon the principles of humanity" and only
secondarily on "the universally recognized
understandings of International law." It ex
presses confidence, too, In "the ancient
friendship of the German nation."
It has been apparent from tho beginning
that the question of the legality of the
methods employed In destroying the Lusi
tlanla was irrelevant to the main Issue, for
"the sinking of passenger ships Involves
principles of humanity which throw Into the
background any Bpeclal circumstances of de
tail that may be thought to affect the cases,
principles which lift It, as the Imperial Ger
man Government will no doubt be quick to
recognize and acknowledge, out of the class
of ordinary subjects of diplomatic discussion
or of International controversy." The princi
pal fact Is that more than a thousand inno
cent souls "were sent to their death in cir
cumstances unparalleled In modern warfare."
Men may differ, and many Americans do,
so far as some of the technical elements en
tering into that colossal tragedy are con
cerned, but one and all, we take It, can cry
"aye, aye," and stand with thrilled con
science unalterably on the proposition so
splendidly stated by the President.
FRIENDLINESS A FEATURE OF NOTE.
AN EXCELLENT feature of the note Is the
friendliness everywhere evident In It. Of
"Philip drunk with carnage" no Impossible
demands are made. Instead, the way la left
open for Germany gracefully and easily once
more to put herself In line with civilization,
correct her tactics and continue her former
Pleasant relations with the United States.
There is no note of hate In the document, no
Intimation of reprisal. Rather there runs
through It the thread of sorrow and regret;
sorrow that the outrages were ever com
mitted and regret that Berlin should b slow
In rectifying, while there Is yet time, her
error Grievously have we been outraged, but
as becomes & patient people we bear no
anger 1 our hearts and are more concerned
about guaranties for our future safety than
IMurt acts.

part of this Government to fulfil Its neutral
duty. In fact, "tho United States performed
that duty and" enforced Its statutes with
seruputous vigilance through Its regular con
stituted officials."
OUR RIGHTS NOT DEPENDENT ON
BELLIGERENTS' AGREEMENTS
THE United States expresses Its willing
ness to convoy to Great Britain any sug
gestion Germany may caro to offer relative
to a better understanding ns to tho methods
of warfaro at sea. But It wishes Germany
distinctly to understand that tho vindication
of American rights docs not and cannot de
pend or wait In any way on agreements tho
belligerents may happen to make. Wo aro
tho champion of neutral rights, which nro
our own rights, nnd they shall not bo sub
ordinated to tho fancied necessities of any
other nation or nations.
OUR DEMANDS
REFUSE to ndmlt tho validity of the
war zono at sea, In so far as It operates
In any degrco whatsoever ns nn abbrevia
tion of tho rights of American ships or of
American passengers on belligerent ships.
We deny thnt tho lives of noncombatants
can lawfully or rightfully be put In Jeopardy
by the destruction of unresisting merchant
men, whatever tho nationality of tho ship,
and reiterate our position that there Is an
obligation In all cnBes to discover tho truth
about a suspected merchantman before tak
ing any measures whatover against her.
We demand that Germany tako tho proper
means to put theso principles Into practice,
and ask for nssuranccs that this will bo
done.
We could ask no less with any self
respect; wo can accept no loss In any cir
cumstances. POWER TO COMPEL RESPECT
r
F IT bo a threat of war to demand that a
nation hitherto friendly with us observo
tho laws of nations, then tho note is a threat
of war. But to that opinion wo do not In
cline. Indeed, If worso comes to worst, If
blood bas blinded Germany, It Is not by
recourse to arms that wo shall assert our
power to compel respect. Wo havo a navy
amply able to prevent tho recurrence of tho
particular acts of which wo complain, not
by carrying on wnr, but by acting as a de
fending convoy.
Yet our great strength lies not In arma
ment, but In tho fact that wo can bring
tho Kaiser to his kness without firing
a shot. Let our inexhaustible resources
In materials and wealth, our enormous
facilities for producing the things by
means of which war is carried on, bo placed
unreservedly at the service of tho Allies, and
there can be but ono end, and that a quick
one, to the Kalscrlsm which threatens to
overrun all Europe Our wealth, without
risk, could leap into tho conflict. Our fac
tories could determine tho outcome In Gall
cla We arc, indeed, tho financial and muni
tions treasury of the world. Whero our help
goes, there, too, goes victory.
SINCERE DESIRE TOR PEACE
"7"ET so sincere nro the American people
- In their desire to keep aloof from Euro
pean entanglements, so loath are they to
break the historic friendship which binds
them to the Fatherland, so anxious aro they
that thoy may be spared from any sort of
active participation In tho world's great
tragedy, so firmly are they set in love for
peace, that throughout this entire land a
secret prayer goes up that Berlin will receive
the note In the spirit which dictated it, that
Germany will come to her senses and not
commit the fatal blunder of adding this
nation to the list of her already great num
ber of enemies,
GREAT MISSION IN THE WORLD
TUT aa for us, we have done what we
-'-' could; have made what concessions wo
could. We carry, as It were, tho colors of
civilization and humanity; a calm, clear
voice for Justice on the seas; a holy mission
to see to It that the ideals It has taken
nineteen centuries to establish shall not be
overturned, repudiated and . stamped on.
To that mission we are dedicated and to it
we shall cling, be the cost what it may, for,
God helping us, wo can no other.
Not the-President only, but a whole peo
ple have spoken. They will stand back of
their representative In this crisis to the end.
As to Mr. Bryan
IT IS regrettable that tho American peoplo
should be humiliated today by the spec
tacle of the man who only a few hours ago
was Secretary of State issuing, at the very
moment when one of the most important
diplomatic utterances ever mado by this
Government Is In process of delivery, a state
ment devised to deprive that utterance of Its
force, to devitalize the public purpose, to em
barrass the Government and to lend encour
agement to defiance of our Just demands by a
foreign nation.
It was Mr, Bryan's privilege- to resign. He
might have done It, as Burns did in Eng
land, quietly and soberly, because his con.
science led him Into such a course. He has
chosen Instead, with a jRCtleseness unprec
edented and a shameleuness unparalleled,
to be guilty of as monstrous an Indiscretion
as history holds any reeord of. He asks for
the fair judgment of the American people,
as If they have any Jnterest In Judging be
tween the course their Government has de
cided on and the reckless pronouncements
of a man who seems to be without any oon

ARCHIMEDES, KRUPP
OF CLASSIC WAR
The Grent Mathematician Who
Turned Inventor to Save HJa Na
tive City How He Burned the
Fleet of Rome With Sun's Rays.
By PETER STAINFORTH
THERE wero stinkpots in those days.
Asphjxlatlng projectiles, chlorine cylin
ders and incendiary bombs wero still await
ing tho cnterpriso and scientific skill of
Krupp, Kultur & Co, but even tho Chinese
of pre-gunpowdcr days knew tho culcacy of
evil smells In discouraging tho martial spirit
of tho enemy Burning tar shared tho glory
of stinkpots in the defense of many a clas
sical fatherland, and many a miner and
sapper fotlnd his underground trench filled
with smoko Just when he was ready to drop
out the underpinnings of somo walled town.
But all such bits of "frlghtfulncss" were
prlmltlvo expedients bcsldo the martial nrts
of Archimedes of Syracuse Ho was the
Krupp of classic war.
A Mythical Marvel
The fame of this great mathematician and
Inventor Is based on n number of triumphs,
ranging from tho locating of "pi," through
tho Archimedean screw for ralslntr water, and
his famous remark, "Eurekn!" to the part
ho played In tho siege of Syracuse. There
Is something Germanic In tho case with
which he prolonged tho Roman attack on
his native city for tlroo years and turned
what wan expected to bo a short and swift
conquest Into n blockade.
His most famous exploit In thlB regard la
probably as mythical ns a good deal of tho
nowspapcr talk about new German engines
of dastructlon It was the burning of
Rome's battle fleet before Syracuse by con
centrating the sun's rajs through mirrors
Certain of tho more reliablo Journalists of
212 B C. fall to mention tho Incident, but
the reports of others havo gained crcdcnco
from experiments conducted by Buffon In
1747 With a GO-foot reflector mado up of
1C8 mirrors, six by eight Inches each, But.
fon melted lead at 140 feet and set flro to
moo J nt 160
Tho remarkable skill of Archimedes In tho
devising of machinery of war Is seen en
tirely In defense. And because tho town to
whoso aid ho came was a seaport, his most
startling Invention, asldo from tho giant
burning bIibs, was a great crane and grap
nel for seizing and upsottlng any ship that
ventured near the walls. Nowadays we como
up from the bottom of the sea and drag our
enemies down with us Archimedes swooped
down from tho air with a hand of iron to
upset and sink tho largest galleys.
Inventing the Trench
In repelling nttneks from land, the Krupp
of classic days faced an nrt of offense that
was marvelously dovelopod. Then, as now,
It was generally admitted that, given time,
no fortifications could stand against tho
"engines" of attack. Theso were tho cata
pult nnd balllsta, tho ram, the "tower," the
"rat," tho "tortoise" nnd that oldest and
newest weapon, tho trench.
Tho Greeks were tho first masters of tho
science of offensive war They invented tho
approach trendies, which flourish In Euro
pean dispatches under tho German title,
"Inufgraben " They were used principally
to get closo enough to tho wnlls of a town
to start subterranean tunnels to undermine
the walls Tho "tortoise," a rudo hut of
woven branches or leather-covered planks,
was a quicker, but less secure method A
handful of men could hide beneath it and
push their improvised roof forward till It
touched the walls, but nn unkind enemy,
such as Archimedes, might be lurking with
a grapnel to catch its edgo and overturn it.
A much safer method was the "rat." This
had more length than tho tortoise It was,
In fnct, n hut pushed forward at the end of
a long, covered tunnel, through which con
stant communication with the headquarters
could bo kept up,
By means of tho long tunnel, a "rat" could
be used to swing a ram or heavy metal and
wooden beam against the lower stones of
tho wall. Tho ram was In many ways the
most Important Instrument of siege; the
breach It created meant the probnble fall of
the city. To make itB use doubly effective, It
waH often carried in the bottom story of
great towers on wheels which were shoved
against the walls by soldiers concenled with
in. From the top, drawbridges were let down
on the city wall and attacks could thus bo
delivered not only through the breach caused
by the ram, but on the battlements above.
Throwing a Ton of Rock
CAnd while such operations were going for
ard, both sides depended on those other
engines, the catapult and balllsta, to fling
burning arrows, Greek fire, steel darts ("con
siderably larger thnn those we now drop
from aeroplanes) and great rocks The aver
age balllsta could manage stones up to 600
pounds before Archimedes put his mind to
It. For the defense of Syracuse he devised
engines to throw stones weighing 1800 pounds
to a distance of 600 yards on direct range and
1000 yards through a curved trajectory.
As weapons of defense against the ram
there were two favorites. Both of them
doubtless owed much Improvement to Archi
medes. One was a sort of buffer or pad,
lowered down the side of the wall to fall be
tween tho stones and the end of the ram,
Another was that old favorite, the grapnel,
so adapted that It could be thrust down to
grasp and hold the swinging head
There was one very modern weapon of
warfare In those days, with which, however,
Archimedes had nothing to do. It was the
distortion of news, such as was practiced
against Germany at the beginning of the
war, when the Teuton nations had no means
of communication with America. If the In
habitants of Syracuse, after revolting against
a king whom Rome hated, had not been de
ceived Into thinking the Romans still threat
ened their Independence the war would never
have come.
On the surface, Archimedes' death was
worthy of any Belgian. Awarding 0 the
generally accepted legend Reman soldiers
who entered the elty Immediately after its
fall found the mathematician In his garden
absorbed In a geometrical drawing In the
and. Perhaps they thought it the design
of some new war weapon. Ferhap they for
got the commands their general had given
for Archimedes' safety At any rate, they
slew him as he meditated.

'THANK
i
MEN OF THE MAYORALTY CAMPAIGN
William Robert Knight, Jr., Coroner of Philadelphia County.
He Has Been One of the Fighting Men of Politics for Thirty
Years The First of the Organization Candidates.
By HERBERT
T3ERE aro two ways of winning a seat In
tho Inner councils 'of tho Organization
One way Is to "go along" with It through
thick and thin. The other way Is to fight It.
William Robert Knight,
Jr., Coroner of tho
County of Philadelphia,
chose, at a critical time
In the career of the Or
ganization, to fight It.
He went down with tho
ruins of David Martin's
leadership and, Instead
of paying homage to the
victors, he helped to or
ganize a third party
which fought tho Re
publicans in city and
State.
Tho Organization re
W. It. KNIOI1T. JR
spects a fighter And that is why Knight
was to rise from the ranks to become Cor
oner. Ho showed strength, nnd he showed
that strength a second time when ho swept
the wavering Republicans In his third party
back to the support of tho Organization
ticket In a memorable convention
The first of the Organization leaders to
appear In, the field this year as an avowed
candidate for tho Mayoralty, he hopes to
harmonize the factions of the City Organi
zation In a campaign fought on strictly local
Issues. He Is considered the choice of tho
Vare men; unless, Indeed, Congressman Vare
should decide to seek the nomination for him
self. And yet Knight was for Earle against
Vare In the primary campaign and election
of 1911. Many persons consider him a Mc
Ntchol man. Tho Coroner says for himself
that he Is a Knight man.
He Is on the best of terms with men of all
factions In the Organization. He shares with
them a hearty disapproval of tho present
administration But he has behind him duly
recorded historical facts when he says that
ho is not against Rudolph Blankenburg on
the ground that tho latter Is a reformer. For
Mr. Blankenburg and Mr. Knight were
classed together as reformers, as members
of the protesting Union party, In the Infancy
of this century.
Boyhood Experiences
If It Is a requisite for a Mayor that he
should have been, as boy and man, one of
the hard-working people of Philadelphia,
Knight has that requisite. He left school at
the age of 12 years to go to work In a brick
yard. That meant getting UP at 3:30 In the
morning tough work for a boy of 12, but
calculated to give him a, strong sense of
self-reliance If he stood up under it. Knight
Is made of the stuff that stands up under
hard work, and as an, evidence of this he
holds today not a trace of regret for the ex
periences of his early youth, lie must have
been a husky youngster, fpr in a year's time
he was making money 'at the rate of 11.96
to 11.50 a day In the brickyard. That was
in spring and summer. In the winters the
boy worked Iri the textile mills of Kensing
ton. This strenuous work-a-day life kept up for
five years, until he was 17 years old, when
he was apprenticed Indentured, as they
called It to Henry Dlsston & Sons, who made
saws at Front and Laurel streets, where he
worked 17 years He has always lived In
Kensington, and the bouse where he lived as
a child was only two squares from his home
of to4y, 34it Frankford avenue. He is of
English ancestry, his father having come to
this cduntry at the age of 17 But the family
soon became thoroughly Americanized, the
elder Knight fighting en the Union side In
the Civil War Hie son was born tn the first
year of that conflict
The Coroner has been la porttlce steee at
taining hie majority. Hie flret recognition

sheriff. Ho was soon to taste tho bitterness
that comes to those who aro loyal to ono
sldo In a factional fight. Ho fought Crow and
stood up for Murtln, and was rewarded by
being promptly removed from office when
Crow won his contest.
Those who stood with Martin In those days
had to take hard blows, but Knight has never
regretted his friendship for that leader. Ho
fought on with Martin, as ho expresses it,
when Martin and ho were the last two men
fighting for their cause in tho city. Appoint
ed license clerk of tho Court of Quarter Ses
sions In 1897, ho held that office until 'again
he was removed by tho return of tho enemies
of Dave Martin to power.
It was then that Knight gdvo his alle
giance to the man who was considered the
reform'er of his day, Peter F. Rothermel.
Thero was no question about Rothermel's
honesty and fitness for tho ofllco of District
Attorney. He had been fearless In that office
and so upright that the Quay-Durham-Ash-bridge-Lnne
machine was through with him.
Rothermel's opponent was John Weaver.
The Union party had tho Instability that Is
characteristic of third parties in Pennsylva
nia. Knight remained a member of it. It
soon became evident that the Republicans
nnd Democrats, who made up Its member
ship, were coming to a parting of tho ways
over the nomination of a gubernatorial can
didate. Pattlson, who had twice been elected
Governor, wanted to break away from tho
Guffey element In the Democratic party.
Knight had thought well of Pattlson, but he
declares that the former Governor held hlm
SPlf open to the Guffey people while still
working with the Union party.
Pattlson took the Democratic nomination.
Pennypacker won the Republican nomination.
Pattlson had estranged many by his sup
port of William Jennings Bryan. Judge Pcn
nypackpr, personally, was" a type of Repub
lican whom honest men could support. The
result was that the issue was a straight fight
between a Republican nnd a Democrat, which
In Pennsylvania means a Republican victory
on a national alignment.
Would the Independent Republicans vote
for Pattlson or for Pennypacker? This was
the question that was hft to the Union party
convention to answer, knight carried the
convention for Pennypacker.
On March 1, 1903, Knight was appointed
by President Roosevelt United States Ship
ping Commissioner of the Port 'of Philadel
phia. Ho held that office until August 1. 1907.
In this work he came In contact with the
activities of the Seamen's Union, which, he
found, was taxing Its members exorbitant
sums for Its services In obtaining Jobs for
them. He fought this practice and his friends
declare ha sought to obtain fair labor condl-
nulla tor me mucn-abused seafaring men.
However, his work as Shipping Commls-
"er Ld.not-" the cy Pty and the
Civil Service Reform Association a i...
tlgatiorf followed and H was testified by a
City party detective that Knight was not In
his office on the Monday before election day.
His resignation was demanded on the seore
of undue political activity. Acaordjng to the
testimony Knight virtually refused to obey
the civil service rules.
Civil Service "a Fraud"

!pg a humble part in the MllU f PhltadJ.
Phla. The quicker the country learns that
Jvll service is a fraud the better." He added
tht he defied any one to Mad any fault with
the conduct of his office.

Knight was Instrumental in having much
of tho work of making boilers for tho city
and tho repairs of streets nnd buildings
owned by tho city done by the city's own em
ploves directly instead of by contractors In
this way tho workmen received labor union
wages.
Ho was a leader in tho fight against grada
crossings, and whllo in Councils (where he
served for 12 jcars) Introduced tho ordinance
for tho elevation of tho Pennsylvania Roll
road tracks at Front and Norrls streets.
As Coioner ho insisted on the carrying of
"jacks" by trolley cars nnd made suggestions
which safeguarded tho exits and entrances on
tho pny-as-you-cnter cars.
Coroner Knight was born March 18, 1851.
He married Miss Sarah Smith in 1884 and
has two children, William Harrison Knight
and Mrs William S Nlcholl, tho wife of a
physician.
