, This Is still the land of tho free,
end also tlw homo of the brave.
Pennsylvania has a right to be
proud of her senior-Senator. Tho break
lnc of diplomatic relations with the Gov
' crnor It of moro Importance than a na
tional crisis to him.
Those who muny times have ndvo
cited that wo break off lelatlons with
Gormany on the ground that "that would
not lead to war" have been the flrst to
cay, now that the break lias come, that
It makes war inevitable.
No decision on the constitutionality
of tho Adamson railroad wage increase
law will bo handed down by tho Supreme
Court before March 5. Ey that time the
country may be t.o deeply interested In
other matters that not even tho railroad
workers will care what position tho court
takes.
Tho Russian Government, In tho
belief that "with America' decision the
end of the war Is In sight," has formed
a special committee to discuss the future
political organization of Poland. The
end of the war will not bu In sight until
Russia has assured tho world that hor
promises to Poland will be kept.
Present indications are that Spain
Trill not break with Germany. Brazil Is
ready to follow the lead of the United
States when conditions make that Im
perative. Chill la still undecided. The
ultimate courso of Spain, however, Is
likely to depend largely on the course
of events. She cannot submit forever to
disregard of her rights on the sea by the
destruction of her shipping.
Every efficient American Is now
hoping ttiat the Industrial preparedness
committee of the Naval Consulting Board
has secured and classified all available In
formation about tho ability of American
'manufacturers to turn out war material.
It made, a beginning, and it has been re
ported that It found twelve hundred man
ufacturers in the vicinity of this city with
chops which could be utilized by the Gov
ernment in an emergency.
Tho killing of Richard Wallace, a
Baltimore negro, may be the straw which
will turn the scales from peace to war.
Wallace was a sal!6r on the British ship
Eavestone, which sailed from Newport
News for Liverpool on December's. She
was attacked by a submarine and sunk
some time on Tuesday. According to the
flrst reports, while the crew were escap
ing In open boats they were shelled by
tho submarine and the master and three
seamen, including Wallace, were killed.
The Government is awaiting an official
report. The gravity of the situation is
Appreciated. We may rest assured, how.
ever, that no action will be taken until
til the facts have been obtained.
The transit hold-backs and pes
simists have received another blow. Mr.
Taylor estimated that the delivery loop,
down Arch street, through Eighth to
Broad street, would cost $7,000,000. The
Keystono Construction Company has
offered to build It for J3.78-l.000, or $1,216.
CO? less than the Taylor estimate. The
tikis, for the 'section under the City Hall
nd for the I'"rankford elevated were also
way below the estimated cost. The. fact
iha,t the new bids, made since the war
has Increased the cost of all structural
material, nro so much under the esti
mates should encourage the city to be
lieve that the whole system can be built
for many millions less than the sum au
horlTfed. The Japanese comDlain thnf i,o

"peace Without victory"
STANDS
TX A dashing outburst of tempornry un
Intelligence u Jingo newspaper nsks
Ironically: "If hostilities should break out
between the United Slates and Germany
will the President Insist that tho
war be fought In order to securo n pence
that shall bo without victory to the I'nlted
Htntos?"
The answer Is, of course, HYes."
Mr. Wilson told the Senate that the
warring nation had expressed hcnuelves
as not trying to crush each other and
that that state of mind Implies what
amounts to pence without victory, peace
without utterly humiliating and dismem
bering the loser. That principle allows
for war with victory, war to defend
recognized rights, arising out of accurate
ly defined causes and ending with equally
well-defined tesults.
It "victory" means obtaining moro than
the restoration of what rights wo had
beforo February 1, wo shall seek peaco
without victory.
We ore seeking that now.
, Every day that our patience cnduics
makes our cause the moio right and Ger
many's position tho moro wrong. Every
day that we hold beforo all Europe tho
example of a nation rendy to fight with
out the spirit of vengcince Is forcing both
Germany and tho Allies nearer that peace
without victory which Is tho only means
of establishing permanent peace. Every
day that we delay In order to make sure
thnt, If we do fight, we shall bo fighting
for a sano nnd definable result Is blink
ing home to the people of tho Entente
nnd Central Powers tho necessity for
fighting only for nane nnd definable re
sults. It Is because those I'owers have been
unwilling or slow to say what they are
lighting for that tho war has dragged
along until most phases of It havo be
come meaningless.
Every day that passes makes tho prin
ciples of Mr. AVllson's "peace-without-vlc-tory"
speech truer und more worth fight
ing for, moro lasting aml more real.
GERMANY IS NOT SAFE FOR
AMERICANS
THE Washington Government's advice
that all Americans In Germany leave
that country as soon as convenient Is
based on knowledge of what Germany
has ilono with tho nationals of other
countries. They have been gathered In
concentration camps and tieated as pris
oners. There have been lepoits of suf
feting and abuse In the camps.
The treaty with Prussia, from which
extracts wero (prlnted on this page last
Monday, guarantees tho protection of
Americans In Germany as well as of
Germans In America in case of war. But
Germany has not been respecting treat
ies for the last thirty months.
It Is In the exercise of Its supervisory
care over Americans abroad that the Gov
ernment calls on Its nationals to find
refuge as quickly as may be In a neutral
country, or In a country with which the
United States has diplomatic lelatlons.
I
THEY WANT US TO HELP, BUT-
SINCE the big news of last Saturday
reached Europe there have been
symptoms of strangely contradictory
points of view in all belligerent countries.
England und France were at first wild
with joy, but on second thought nie not
so sure they want us "In." Lord North
cllffo frankly hays: "It Is hoped by a
majority of tho English people that
Amerlcawill not be drawn Intp the war.
The Entente Allies have Prussia well In
hand and Its (America's) moral support
and assistance with finance, munitions
and food will be rendering our crusade
an Immense service."
Then what have a,Il these slurs at
America In the last two years been for?
England has asked If we were cowardly,
If we would ever redeem our national
soul, and the moment we outlaw Ger
many and get out our guns, to the de
light of the pro-Allies here nnd of the
English populace, along come those who
profess to speak for that populace and
say, "Keep out!"
The reason Is not hard to find. Im
perialists like Northcllffe, who would like
to reduce Prussia to the status of Den-.,
mark at the risk of laying the founda
tions for another Hundred Years' War,
do not want to dilute the combination In
arms against Germany with a hundred
million more pacifists. They are having
a hard enough time with men. In England
like Bertram! Russell, Bernard Shaw and
II. G. Wells, who are either out-and-out
pacifists or else arenntl-Imperlallsta who
want a negotiated peace which will leave
Germany defeated, but not so crippled as
to lose her Important position in the com
mercial world.
Now, the American pcoplo desire the
Eclence and Industry of Germany to flour
ish and continue to yield Its valuable
share of manufactured products. It de
sires that that industrious nation Bhall
hive access to the sea, after, the war, and
every lawful advantage that will help It to
ro-operate with England and America for
the. advancement of civilization. That
desire, we .take It, wilt survive any bit
lernees that would accompany any war
we plight hive to enjfage m In the
event of' war we would fight with tle
liberal And fair-minded people of Kngjand

AMERICAN RIGHTS
ON THE HIGH SEAS
Disregard of Thorn Brought War
in 1812 nnd Is 'Threatening
to llrcnk'tho Pence
in 1017
THE ntmlogy between the conditions
preceding the War of 1812 nnd those
prevailing now Is so close as ' to bo
startling.
Napoleon was then the dominant power
on the Continent, Ills attempts to
weaken the power of Eugliuid had been
unavailing. British ships lisd been sup
plying his enemies with .munitions and
provisions. He decided to 'put n stop to
this. Accordlnglj, ho Issued on Novem
ber 21, 180C, what Is known In history
ns tho Berlin tleeieo. This document de
clared "that the British Islands were
thenceforward In n stato of blockade; that
nil correspondence nnd commerce with
them was prohibited; that trade In Eng
lish merchandise wits forbidden; that nil
merchandise belonging to England" (even
if neutral piopcrtj) "proceeding fiom.lts
tnnutifae.totles and colonics Is lawful
prize." It further declared thnt no ves
sel, of whatever nationality It might be,
coming dltectly fiom the British do
minions should bo received In any port
to which the denio was applicable. It
was ordered further thnt the dectee
iliould be rommuuleiited "to the kings of
Spain, ol Naples, of Holland, of Etritrln,
nnd to our nllles whoso subjects lllo
ours are the victims of the Injustice and
barbarism of the English mnrltlme laws."
The English maritime laws had been
particularly oppiesslvo to American
titlppiug. The Htitlsh, since the forma
tion of an Independent Government here,
had continued to treat our fhlps ns
though we were still a British colony.
Her Interference with our seamen had
been outrageous nnd her nttempt to con
trol the destination of our ships hnd been
the source of continual friction. For
oxnmple, by her orders In council shu
had forbidden an American ship to touch
nt continental ports without first touch
ing at a British poit und paying British
port dues.
The Two Hcrlln Decrees
One of the purposes of Napoleon's Ber
lin decree was to draw the United States
into co-opetatlon with the European con
tinental system by drawing her shipping
from British ports to those of the Con
tinent. Great Britain, on tho other hand,
sought to Imposo such legulntlons on
neutinl shipping ns would compel It
to make the British ports n link In their
chain of communication with tho Con
tinent. "The Fhipplng of the' United
States," as Admiral Mnhan wrote, "found
Itself between hammer and anvil, crushed
by these opposing policies." Napoleon
banned It from continental hatbors, If
coming from England or If freighted with
English goods, nnd Great Brltnin forbade
It to go to a continental port without
fit st touching nt one of iter ports.
The Get man marltlmo policy at the
piet.ent time Is himllnr to that which
Napoleon adopted. It Is directed pil.
marily against Great Bntnln. Its pur
pose Is to prevent tho British fiom sup
plying the enemies of Germany with
munitions and food. It Is also to pi event
neutinl shipping from getting supplies
either to Great Britain or to the Con
tinent'. Every ship nnywhere on the
high seas which can be leached by the
German vessels of war is subject to
search, eelzuie and sinking If It contain
any of tho forbidden commodities, ie
gardlcss of Its nationality, If It Is destined
to any of tho forbidden ports.
The Berlin decree of 1017 differs from
the Berlin decree of 1800 chiefly In tho
fact that It permits one metiean ship
a week to enter nnd leave an English
port, provided there Is u guarantee that
it contains nothing that Getmniiy legards
us conttubaud.
Outrage of the Chesapeake
The British, In their attempts to control
the sea In their own way, committed
many outrages against American shipping
prior to the War of 1812. One of the most
notorious Instances of high-handed meth-'
ods occuried In June, 1807, when the
frigate Chesapeake sailed out of Chesa
peako Hay. Somo English warships had
been anchored in the bay waiting for two
French ships of war lying at anchor off
Annapolis. When the Chesapeake had
passed out of tho thrjee-mlla limit and
was ten miles at sea that Is, on the high
seas, she was hailed by the British ship
Leopaid. An officer was permitted to
board her with an order from the British
vice admiral at Halifax directing him to
search for British seamen described as
"deserters." The commander of the dies-'
apeake refused to permit the search,
Theteupon the Leopaid fired upon her,
killing or wounding twenty-one men n'nd
reduced her to submission. He then
seized four seamen. Ho hanged one of
them. Another of them died, and five
years later the other two weio returned
to the deck of the Chesapeake, In formal
acknowledgment of tho Injustice of the
seizin e.
But In tho meantime tho British had
continued their disregard of our sights on
-tho sea. We passed tho embargo act and
the nonlntercourse act In futile attempts
to protect our lights. The nonlnter
course net was directed against France
as well as against England The offenses
of the French had been sp many and so
great that for a time President Madison
did not know whether to urge war against
the one or the other, or both. But as the
English aggressions had been the longest
and most persistent, It was finally decided
to fight the British.
Since the Treaty pf Ghent, approved on
December 24, 1814, t,he lights of Ameri
cans on the seas have been respected.
The present war, yvhlch has reproduced
the conditions that prevailed In tho be
ginning of the last, century, has put them
In peril again, and events are bringing
us close to war. But this time, Instead
Of maklnff war on England, we are confronting-
the Power which Issued' tho sec
ond "Berlin decree, even though the Brit
ish have also disregarded our rights.

OPINIONS OF A CYNIC
To the Ktlitor of the Evening lietlptr:
Sir Ileplyinff to your editorial, "On the
Side of Humunlty," I fnll to seo where, we
are so full ol humanity as you express It.
Had we been a little more human when
this war started things might be different
from what they are today. You say that
wo hao some right on sea. 1 grant thnt.
Do you remember when the food ship
Wilhelmlna was chartered to carry food
stuff to Germany? it was loaded with non
contraband of war Did we protest ery
much about humunlty? No, Humanity Is
Just ns dear on land as It Is on sea. The
trouble with us Is this: We are too deep
In the mlro to pull out now. Wall street
has us by tho throat, and should that
J2,000,000.000 be lost the Allies got from
us for a lot of paper it might make a lot

INTERNATIONAL LAW A MYTH
To the HtlUa'r of tho Evening Ledger:
Sir I cannot understand why the United
States needs to go to war to uphold inter
national law when there Isn't any, and has
not ben for two and one-half years. The
strongest nation, or group of nations, makes
and will make, all the International law,
unless a league of I'owers such as Wilson
suggested Is formed. A law that Is good
only In times of peace Is not a law at all
it's a delusion. Our entrance Into the Im
perialists' bull pit can only do one thing
enable one set of Tyrants to rule the world
for nil time, whether we permanently align
ourselves with them or not, llaie we, I
ask, no nobler mission to perforpi than to
select which bunch of Imperialists Is to
rule tho earth?
Bryan Is right. If we must fight some
one, then why not get up a war of our
own one where wo will know what It's
about? Getting crucified between thieves
may bo reminiscent, but that's about all.
