APPRECIATING THE NAVY.
Some of the most hazardous and
heroic exploits of the war are beiug
performed by the officers and men
of the American navy. The task
iof our destroyers in convoying trans
! ports and in hunting down subma
rines is often as adventurous and ro
mantic as it is difiicult and daiiK?r
ous. Yet the public is permitted to
learn only the meagerest details, or thing and the buying of her manu
more often nothing at all. of these factured goods from her is quite

It is conceded that, censorship is
nccessarv to exclude information of
military importance to the enemy
It is conceded that the precise mcth
ods of combating submarines should
be withheld. But even within every
strict limitations the public could
be given very many fine stories that
would, not only reflect credit on the
navy but inspire the Amerk-nn peo
ple with a justifiable pride in its
achievements.
The reasons for a censorship of
the kind that now prevails are diffi
cult to discover. One suggestion is
that certain officials in Washington
are afraid the stories would be too
grewsome, or something of that sort,
for public consumption. Whatever
the reason, we think it would be an
excellent idea for the authorities to
revise their present ideas. It is
not fair to the men in the navy to
prevent any public knowledge or
appreciation of their great work.

GREATEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
According to Xcw Haven dispatch

and the kaiser in answer o the
question, "Who is the greatest man

but eleven German members felt at
Liberty to cast their ballots for the
Gcman emperor, did so, and. as far
is the dispatch indicates, there were
n unpleasant consequences. The
interesting question promptly sug
gested is, what would have happened
to eleven American students at a
German university if on the same
elate they had by ballot boldly de
clared President Wilson to be the
greatest man in the world?
Perhaps they woum have been
beaten into insensibility and tho

charge would have spit into their
medicine and food before offering it
to them tantalir.ing!y only to take
it away. Perhaps they would have
been made to stand against a wall
while soldiers shattered their nerves
by firing at marks half a foot above
their heads. Perhaps they would
have been proddled by bayonets over
a brink into a river If it had been
first ascertained that they could not
swim, then taken out and again
forced by bayonets to walk to their
death in roaring flames. Or, per
haps the fury of their fellow stud
ents would have been such as to
cause them to bo lynched on the
spot. For such are lh things that
have been widely perpetrated in P.el

A DANGER NOT
MET BY TREATIES
In a Ie!ig- and evidently anxious
disquisition on the future of German
industry, the Vossische Zeitung
makes what may be tho grave mis
take of thinking that the only dang
er confronting Germany after tho
return of peace will lie in a refusal
of the nations now at war with her
to supply her manufacturers with
the raw materials without which
they cannot resume business with
any hope of recovering their old
position in the world's markets. This
peril, it. insiste, must be remembered
when the time comes for drafting
peace treaties, and every one of them
must contain articles providing that
no such discrimination be attempted.
Possibly, and more than possibly,
there U little basis for fearing form
ally to recognize Germany's right,
after (he war, to buy whatever she
wants wherever she can find it. The
very drawing of a peace treaty pre
supposes at least permission for the
resumption of ordinary trade rela
tions between the contracting part
ies. There is little reason to apyrc
bond the appearance anywhere, in
the better time to come, of an indis
position to sell the Germans any
thing for which they can pay a sat
isfactory price. Selling raw mater
ials to Germany, however, is one
people least of all likely to be in-
fluenced by other than business con
siderations, but the other is individ
ual, and it is neither controlled nor
guided by the agreements of govern
ment officials.
Those who think that with the
return ol peace 1 lie present animosi
ties against Germany will soon calm
down and die out, exactly as have
done animosities excited by prev
ious wars, and that everybody will
again buy what is good and cheap,
regardless of its origin the up
holders of these thorics mav be
right, but they ignore the difference
between this war and all others of
recent times. As a combatant Ger
many lias chosen so to conduct her
self as to have provoked over well-
nigh the whole world i combina
tion of fear and hatred that is cer
tainly without a modern precedent
ami perhaps without any jet all. No
treaties will affect these feelings in
the slightest degree. ar.l if our law:
continue to require that goods "made
in Germany" be so marked, it will
be many and many a year before
antagonism to such goods will van
ish from the minds of millions and
millions of potential buyers where it
is now so firmly planted. New York
Times.

U. S. SHIPPING BOARD
RECRUITING SERVICE
Fi"in Friday's laily.
In the window of the Itexali Drug
Store on Cth street, there is display
ed a double-page advertisement from
a current isue of a great national
weekly that brings the war on the
s,ea direcy homo to this section, and
to the store where the advertisement
appears. The proprietor ef the store
has a personal interest in the adver
tisement also, for it relates lo war
work that he is doing for the Gov
ernment. Furthermore, iie helped
pay for it and the cost of the "ad"
for the single issue was $10,000.
The advertisement asks for HO, 000
men, between 21 and 30, for service
in the new Merchant Marine. In
the language of its headline, it of
fers "50,000 jobs at sea" to clean
cut young Americans. It states (hat
the U. S. Shipping Board will give
them special training before putting
them into actual sea service?, carry
ing supplies to our armies and Allies
in the fighting fields of Europe. So
much importance is attached to this
work that men accepted fer it are ex
empted freuu a call to military duty.
The advertiseunent rela'es further,
that "the Itexall stores throughout
the United States, nearly 7000 of
them, have been designated by the
Government as enrolling stations for
