CULAT10N OF THE EVENING LEDOEll , FOR DECEMUHR WAS 110.81a Philadelphia, Friday. February i. 1917. Turkey recommends the Kaiser for Nobel Peace Prize. Headline. Who ever suspected the solemn-vis-aged Turk of being a Jokesmlth? It was significant that the first of the ten or fifteen thousand British mer chantmen which Germany hopes to send to the bottom va3 a Dutch vessel. Hog prices highest slnco the Civil War. Headline. This does not refer to the demand of Jefferson Levy for $500,000 for Monti cello, which is worth only $100,000. There Is not much difference be tween sinking merchant ships without warning and hospital ships on Bight. Ger many has announced Its Intention to do both. The Mayor has reversed himself on the Camden bridge proposition, but ha moves on such a well-oiled pivot that no one knows in which direction he will face next week. The map showing the boundaries net by Germany's last note for the safe ' travel of neutral vessels gives one a very good Idea of what "freedom of tho seas" doesn't mean. Now that the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals Is placing Individual cups In horse-troughs, arrange ments should be made for Individual nap kins. Tooth brushes could follow later. It is to be hoped that tho Auditor Genoral at Harrlsburg will not be com pelled to keep his office open after hours to accommodate the contributors to the conscience fund. Every little counts, how. over, even that $4.17 for gasoline taken "Inadvertently" from tho State Highway Garage. With Charles S.

British merchant ships are likely to carry guns openly for offense, and the United States will have to make a new ruling based on the new conditions. A decision of this country to permit such hips to enter our ports with, their guns mounted fore and aft was one of the possibilities which Germany decided to face In her last desperate stand.

Alth6ugh care has been taken that neutral ships which nro. on their way toward ports of the blockade tones on February 1. 1917, and which have come to the vicinity ,ot tha latter, Will be spared during a suf ficiently long period, It is strongly advised to warn them with all available means in order to cause their return." But it Is Impossible not to read In this warning the veiled threat of an attack as unpar donable as that upon the Lusltanlo. NO HAIR-TRIGGER ACTION milB President Is keeping his head. Ho mot the newspaper men In Washing tonNyesterday afternoon nnd told them that, thero wns nothing to announce. This means that he is still studying the Ger man note and that ho will not act until he has considered the question from every possible angle. This evldcnco that tho Government of the United States Is not to go off half cocked Bhould bo calming. There is to bo no halr-trlggcr action in Washington. If tho President can afford to wait and think, tho rest of us, who have neither his knowledge of the situa tion nor his responsibility for tlio protec tion of the honor of tho nation, ought also to bo able to keep our heads. FIGHTING IT OUT ON THE SEA THE armies have failed to produce de cisive results. There has been a vir tual deadlock on land for moro than two years. The sea blockado of Germany 1ms been effective. It is bringing tho Central Em pires to tho point of starvation. This Is manifest In spite of all tho statements to the contrary that have 'como from Ber lin. Germany's only hope of salvation ap parently lies In breaking tho sea power of the Allies. This is the explanation of tho new Ger man move. It Is a desnernto move, ns all tho expressions of opinion from Ger many indicate. Tho Imperial Chancellor on tho afternoon of ,tho announcement of the new policy told tho main committee of tho Reichstag that "Germany accepts the challenge to fight to a finish and Is staking everything." An official attached to the German embassy in AVashlngton said yesterday afternoon that Germany had considered all tho consequences of her course, Including the possibility of n break with the United States, and had decided to risk everything. It has been evident from tho beginning that tho Power that dominated tho sea would win the ultimate victory, for nei ther the Entente nor the Central Alliance Is sufficient unto Itself. They must get supplies from the neutral nations over the great water highways or they will starve. England is said to have food enough to last her about a month. Therefore, Germany Is trying to cut her off from the rest of the world. Fright fulness upon the sea, unprecedented dis regard of all the old International under standings, are to be resorted to In this attempt to break the power of the Allied navies. Tho stake Is so great that Ger many Is willing to risk tho friendship of the wholo world on a single throw. Whether sho succeeds or fulls, tho Im portance of sea power will bo magnified beyond nil previous proportions and the lesson will bo writ so largo that no mari time nation can fall to see Its significance. THE PRESIDENT KNEW WHAT HE WAS ABOUT TK ANY ONE Is seeking an explanation -- of the President's so-called peace note and his address to tho Senate he can probably find It In tho announcement of the new German sea policy. All Indications for weeks have pointed to this crisis, with its possibilities of Involving the United States In the war. Tho President would have failed In his manifest duty if he had not made an ef fort to avert It. Ho did not fall In his duty, but he was unablo to avert the crisis. PASS THE WEBB BILL THE Webb bill, passed by the House of Representatives py a vote of 8 to 1 sevtral months ago and 'now befora the Senate, Bhould be passed at this session of Congress". It should not be permitted to go over until the next ses sion for two reasons: First, because the facilities it offers for the extension of American foreign trade are too valuable- to bo withheld from tho American busl nesB men for any length of time, and, second, because tho measure Is In line with the most advanced thought and methods of present-day economics. Tho bill provides for the exemption of combinations of capital engaged In foreign trade from tho operation of the Sherman anti-trust law. As such it em bodies the recognition of the fact that it is impossible to stem tho evolution of economic forces making for concen tration and combination by the passage of statutes contradictory to tho inexor able laws of industrial development. As pointed out by Mr, Stelnmetz In the Evening; (Ledger, the fundamental principle of present-day commercial or ganization is co-operation. Germany has led the way in social and industrial co operation. Her enemies. In order to save themselves from defeat, have been obliged to pay her the most worthy compliment of all the compliment of Imitation. The movement has assumed tremendous proportions in Great Brit, aln. Never again will England return to the good old days of rampant com petition and individualism. The United States, therefore, cannot afford to lag behind. Perhaps,, after the benefits of the Webb bill, if it becomes law and there is every Indication it will are pbseryed, we may apply Its provisions to domestic conditions , and substitute more scientino regulation for the futile policy of .trust- busting.

At his express desire, I avoid comment In eulogy upon him, reserving within tho closet of nn lnoxtlngulshable memory my Impressions as to his personality nnd tho simple charm of his reception. M. Franco no longer lives In Paris, having definitely removed a year ago from Villa Bald, close to tho Bols do Boulogne, to his country home near tho Communo dc St. Cyr, In tho province of Indro et Loire. At present ho Is stop ping at a Paris hotel, having voyaged to tho capital to attend the annual session of tho academy. The master has never been Interviewed, In my caso he made a special exception, upon the solicitation of several of his friends. My visit wns consequently but a call, In which I paid my respects, and not nn Interview at nil. It only enabled mo to pass a few nil too short minutes In his nged eminent courtly company nnd listen to that which ho said to me, nftcr receiving his permission to publish Its substnnco In tho United States. I give It below In verbatim translation: "I noticed him from my carriage," said he. "It wnsj upon the Avenue do l'Opern a ilny or two ago, Ho wns walking slowly and trending tho sidewalk solidly. He was, I could tell at n glance, a foreigner. Ho seemed very much at caso nnd genu inely Interested In nil nbout him, ns I, Interested In him, called my coachman to pull up at the curb that I might lool moro closely nt him. "As my carriage stopped, ho hesitated, nil unconscious of having attracted me. seemed to reflect, and took from his pocket a book. In red binding, limply nt tnehed to Its leaves. Beforo he hail opened It, I recognized It, for very often I hnd traveled with Its counterpart, tho tourist's guide, the Baedeker. "In prldo of our Franco I watched him, reflecting that even In the midst of war Paris remained a mecca for his kind, while Berlin, In tho lack thereof, sensed Its coming position ns capital of a dc- i featcd Prussian barbarism. "As I signaled to drlvo on, tho younp. man, oblivious of observation, was Intent upon his Baedeker; upon a very model and methodical guidebook Indicative of a very complete Teutonic spying out: In tent upon tho geographical and historical record of Paris, to bo purchased In nny bookshop for a few francs! Disproves the Baedekerlsm of Baedeker "But I wondered If Its young tourist reader, despite Its perfection of ensemble of tourist knowledge, rcnllzed that it was nn out-of-date guidebook after all! For It would tell him that upon tho Arc do Trlotnpho. Rudo had sculptured tho singing of tho Marseillaise, but not tliat presently beside It would bo carved tho story of tho Mnrne, the Meuse, the Sommo and Verdun. "It would tell him of tho tombs under tho Pantheon, but It would not mention the newest there, that of Galllenl, or what that new tomb meant to France. It would tell him tho history-brief of tho Louvre, that It was an ancient palace of kings, but not a word about the kingly peoplo of tho France of 191G encircling It. "It would tell him of Notre Dame, of Its gargoyles, Its ancient glass, but nothing of tho beautiful truth that tho Cathedral of Paris has been consecrated anew in tho silent uplifted prayers of a populace, become anew a shrine of hopo and con solntlon to the grief of France. Why go further? With theso examples I dis. provo tho Baedekerlsm of my young tour ist's Baedeker. It is obsolete! "For today, a guide to Paris should tell moro than prosaic repetition of tho capl tal's beauties; still telling of them in tho detail of a Baedeker, of course, but point ing, too, at their new significance; a sig nlflcance that embellishes the loveliness of Paris and adds luster to Its monuments tho devotion, the oplrlt, the soul, the patriotism of the cnpltnl and tho nation, tho now uncovered beauty of our race who, In their sacrifices and silent courage, aro a revelation to the world, whoso vir tues of sorrow and unity have become the most sacred treasures among all the treasures of France." A PEACEFUL RETURN There will be considerably less excite ment about the return of General Persh ing's expedition than there was about Its going forth, and if excitement was a na tlonal advantage this would be deplorable But there cannot be many Americans who are not well satisfied fa have the trooDs come out of Mexico, without any territorial conquests to brag about and without leav. tng very many of their number behind them. Mwlco might have been the grave of thousands of soldiers and of two or threo venerable American principles of fair play and friendly dealing. That catas. trophe has been avoided and we can get along without any more great battles for the school histories. San Francisco Bui. letln.

I wonder If tho esteemed Mayor of your city ever happened to bo In the vicinity of the Market street ferries any working day between the hours of C and 8 a. m., or 6 and 8 p. m., to notice tho number of so called Philadelphia wage-earners who aro employed in tho various Camden business enterprls.es, or still later In the morning to notico tho number of mothers, wives and daughters of our wage-earners traveling to your city on shopping tours to whom your well-managed business houses offer their utmost courtesy In recognition of their I patronage; or still later to watch the crowds or young ioik patronizing your theatres and cafes In quest of an outlet for their hard-earned dollars? If the bridge proposition was put before tho alert Philadelphia business man I feel confident ho would term It a very good In vestment of mutual benefit to all con cerned. I thank you for your unswerving Interest In all public Improvements In our city as well as In Philadelphia. C. It. PIUCKITT. Camden, January 29, WAKE UP!

PROTESTS AGAINST KUEHNLEISM To tha Editor of the Evening Ledger: Sir Your Issue of January SI contains a description of the pet dream nourished by Louis Kuehnle, of Atlantic City, of the relntroductlon In Atlantlo City of the sale of rum on Sunday nnd all the crimes which naturally follow It, and a council manic form of government In place of the present admirable commission form of gov ernment. With reference to this Idle dream of Mr. Kuehnle I venture to Bay that no thoughtful and sane man supports Kuehn le's idea. Like any other town, Atlantic City has a number of thoughtless and Ir responsible persons who do not like the pres ent orderly condition In Atlantic City and who prefer a Kuehnle form of government with all Its dastardly and damnable phases, such as thieving, blackmailing Councllmen, blackmailing by officers of the lavy, ballot box stuffing, ballot-box stealing, repeating and, vote buying by tie thousands, the flourishing of gambling and .disorderly houses all over the town, a Kuehnle grand jury, a Kuehnle petit Jury, a Kuehnle county judge and a Kuehnle prosecuting at torney. In connection with this matter It will probably be Interesting to repeat for the information oi me reaaing pupuo whit some New Yorkers had to say about Kuehnle's faithful Councllmen. An Atlantlo City business roan some years ago, after considerable trouble, succeeded In Inducing some New Yorkers to come to Atlantlo City 'for the purpose of Investing money in At lantlo City real estate. After haying visited the different parts of the o;ty they met' some of Kuehnle's subservient Councllmen, and this Is what .the New Yorkers said about Kuehnle's choice leglilatora: "If we -didn't, know the men, wu would be afraid to meet liwm on a, oar nisnt in, a dark a"". .'- " 'IV-. ' JWh. .-L :, ik , '1 THE FIRST VICTIM ing of city saloons on Sunday, the closing of gambling and disorderly houses, and from what I know of theni they stand ready to fight bitterly any man or any combination of men and. If necessary, send some more of the corrupt politicians to the State prison In order to secure further for them selves the benefits derived from having their affairs of the c.ty conducted In an honest and businesslike manner. The people of Atlantic have not for gotten the garbage plan srart, tho asphalt paving graft, tho concrete boardwalk graft, and with regard to Charles S. Moore, the present prosecuting attorney of whom this fellow Kuehnle speaks so lightly, I don't hesitate to say that ho Is an exceptionally honest, able and fearless prosecuting at torney, and the County of Atlantic Is to bo congratulated on having a man Ike him In the office whlch"he now holds, and this opinion of Mr. Moore Is shared by nil honest citizens. SIMON KAUUR. Atlantic City, N. .T February 1. OBJECTS TO DEATH PENALTY To the Editor of the Evening Ledger: God bless "B. B.,;' of Reading', for his views on capital punishment published In the Evenino Ledoer- on January 2G. If our God's talk to Noah Is to be obeyed, then' why not tho same God's commands to Moses1 In Levlt., xx, 9-10? And -no pork would ever be eaten If God's command recorded In Levlt., xl, 7, was obeyed. Why, oh why, obey one and disobey almost all the other ones? Because the brute naturo calls for revenge without any regard for the Innocent ones who nro deprived of support. Why not compel a murderer to give all the rest of his life toward redeeming tho awful error he has made? Not one In a thousand mur derers would have the cruelty to have penned up his victim, set a day to kill him, and several days before the date have a death patrol reminding his intended vic tim every moment was bringing his certain death. Yet that's exactly what legalized murderers do, then pat themselves on the shoulder, lift their eyes toward heaven and say. "We have only done ns God com manded we should do," Bosh I Hell has no demon who could Invent greater torture Hoping the day will soon come when capital punishment nnd war are both ended and all aro brothers Is the earnest prayer of MRS. LIZZIE FREHAFER. Riverside, Pa., January 28.

It would not make you happy much, But no one seemed to mind. And loveliest of all, a Deer! Only Its eyes were blurred; And hanging by It, very near, A beautiful great Bird. So I could smooth his feathers through. And kiss them, very softly, too: But oh, he never stirred! Ballymena Dear Tom I was talking to a good U liw. Dr. J.
