Armed Merchantmen The present issue between the German gov
ernment and our own respecting the conduct of submarine onerations seems to be this: Shall
men of the enemy the first shot because citizens
of the United States , have elected to travel on
such merchantmen?
'. The structure of. the submarine is and at this stage of its development must be such that the
first properly directed shot is virtually certain to be the last, in that only one shot, even that of a
' one pounder, is fatal to the submarine.
Put in another form, the issue is whether a
I merchantman armed sufficiently to destroy
a
submarine with one shot is defensively or of-
fensively armed.
' Under a rule formulated before the creation I of the submarine the presence of a relatively i small gun is held consistent with the presumpt-
l ion of defensive armament.
That rule was founded on the facts. A small i gun could not seriously injure a warship. It I could not be made offensive at the will of the
I commander of the merchantman summoned to
surrender.
The rule does not square with the facts of the submarine. The principle upon which the rule is
founded does not apply to them. A one pounder
can destroy a submarine. The presumption that such a gun will be used only in defense must
rest entirely upon the will of the commander or
, his instructions.
The position now taken by our government
! therefore is that a German submarine approach
ling a British, French or Italian merchantman
,! which carries a gun capable of destroying such
submarine shall challenge the merchantman to surrender and accept the hazard of destruction.
Furthermore, the presence of defensive armament on merchantmen was justified by facts, now non-existent namely, the practice of pri-
! vateering, and the existence of pirates. As pirj ates have disappeared from European waters and j privateering is no' longer permissible under interI national law, no presumption of defense can attach to the presence of guns on merchantmen. Enemy ships consist of only two kinds, combatant and non-combatant. If a ship is. noncombatant it will not be equipped to combat. If a ship is equipped with armament sufficient to destroy an enemy warship, as in the case of a merchantman mounting a six-inch, four-inch, or one-pounder gun, such merchantman having no use for such armament except against enemy

craft, it can not claim the character of an un-
... 1- 1 1 A. 1 U W LU mkflt 1T !
armea mercnanunan, dui buouiu wj uch fact it is, a combatant ship.
The object of any armament on a ship of the
belligerents is one and one only, to use against enemy warships to be. explicit, the submarine.
It is therefore an armed ship and the distinction as to defensive and offensive armament, founded on the practice of privateering and piracy,-and
having no application to use against enemy war
craft, is not involved. Xt
This is the issue as between Great Britain and Germany. What is the issue between the United States and Germany? It is whether the right of citizens to travel on unarmed merchant ships of belligerent nationality is a right to travel on merchant ships of Great Britain armed in fact against German submarines. Or put in another way, the issue is : Does the presence of Americans on a British ship compel a German submarine to allow the British ship to
pass or by challenging it accept the hazard of
destruction? v
If this were conceded Great Britain by
mounting guns on its merchantmen and Ameri
cans by traveling on them can insure such part
of the British merchant marine from otherwise lawful operations by Germany against what are
in fact armed and therefore combatant enemy
craft.
The object of arming the allies' merchant craft is to protect them from capture or destruction by German or Austrian submarines. Such destruction is of great importance to the central
powers in their conduct of the war and a legiti
mate measure of sea warfare. British shipping
is conveying necessary supplies to the allies. The interruption of this service is of great, if not
vital, importance to the central powers. If it is to the interest of the United States to insure this
supply, the government should do so as an ally
and not under the pretense of defending neu trality.
The President asserted the right of neutrals
to travel on "unarmed" merchantmen of the bel
ligerents. He asserted the duty of war craft to
challenge "unarmed and unresisting" merchant ships. Both these contentions have been accept
ed by the German government.
Yet we now assert that by virtue of a rule framed to meet facts not now involved merchant ships armed in fact are not armed, and must be
accepted as unarmed by Germany because Amer
icans are traveling on them. The principle that rules of international law must not be altered during the course of the war begs the whole
question of whether the rule as to defensive
armament applies to merchantmen armed hv fact
offensively against submarines. ,.
If American honor is involved in this contro
versy, it calls upon us to look the facts; in the
face, to apply to them principles, not ajnere formula, and to adopt fearlessly the course which
justice dictates. -
If it is American sympathies or interests that are involved, let us not talk about honor and let
us consider sensibly and candidly what those in
terests are. Chicago Tribune.

picnic In the old lighthouse," cried Polly Beverly when she finished her breakfast one bright October morning.
"All right," piped up May and Ada ! at the same time. And Mrs. Beverly ! smiled her consent at the three chili dren. Out in the water about a quarter of a mile from the farmhouse was a j email island on which there was noth- ! ingbut sand, rocks and an ancient i stone" building, which had been used
j in Colonial days for a lighthouse.
When the water was low the little
girls would have no trouble in wading i out. . So the mother gave her consent
opened the basket and commenced their lunch. . Suddenly the sky darkened in the west. Polly also noticed that the water was growing deeper.. "The tide is rising and mother did not call us," she crted, her face white
at once and prepared a nice basket of
i lurch. When the girls were about to set out i Polly put her pigeon, Ray, in a small cage and said she would take it along for a trip. Ray was not an ordinary pigeon, but of the kind called carriers, which means that if they are taken from home and let free they will at 1 once fly home. So the girls started out. May, who was the eldest, taking the basket; Polly swinging the cage, Ada skipping along with a bucket and spade. "I wM call you before the tide begins to rise to remind you to start home," said Mrs. Beverly, as she kissed each rosy cheek. As the girls were barefooted, they easily waded through the surf, and in ten minutes were climbing the rocks.
Th'in they ran about the old light

with fear. She did not know reason why her loving mother neglected this, but the fact was after' the children had gone a
the had that few
moments Mr. Beverly asked his wife to take a short drive, which she did. Unfortunately, when, about two miles
from home on the return trip, the
buggy broke down ana .both were forced to get out. The father set out at break-neck speed, yet he knew he
could not reach the farm before the
storm broke.
All three of the girls dropped their
lunch at the sight of the rising water
And as a flash of lightning tore across the darkening sky. little Ada
began to sob.
"Oh, Polly!" sobbed the child (they called Pauline Polly). "We will be
drowned. We cannot get home now.'!
May was just as much frightened
as Ada, but determined to be brave
Yet she saw that the deepening water was now impossible to wade, and that within half an hour the storm would
strike the island.
"I don't -know what has happened
that mother did not call us," said
Polly at last. "But I know what to do write a message, tie it to Ray's foot, and let him free. He will be home in two minutes, and they will
see him fluttering at the coop door.'
Taking a lot of the paper which had been wrapped about their cake, Polly
wrote In big letters, We are over on
the island send for us at once.
Then she tied it to Ray's leg and
opened the cage.
Out through the darkening air the
pigeon sped like a shot out of a gun
A white flash over the rising waters,
and then he disappeared in the porch
of the farm house.
The cook saw him fluttering and
pecking at the door of his coop.
"Why, bless my soul," cried Dinah. "If there isn't a bit of paper on the bird's leg." She untied the paper and handed it to Joe, the farmhand. The
