THE DEED OF AN OUTLAW.
"The rule of maritime warfare
which imposer upon the con►msnder
of a ship of war the duty of providing
for the ewfety of the passengers sod
crew of any vessel he may elect to
destroy is plain, untuistakehle in its
application to every rase, and it has
been everywhere snit by all nations
accepted as w Finding obligation."
This i. the opening sentence of an
editorial article in The New York
Timor in which the destruction of the
Lusitania, with the consequent drown-
ing of the greater number of threw on
board of her, is denounced we an act of
"monetroue inhumanity," which
marks Germany as'•au outlaw nation."
The fact that the Lusitani• was carry-
ing munitions of wnr is no valid excuse
for Germany's act, nor can the act he
justified by any other conditions that
existed. The Germans would hive

Berlin has behaved from the beginning
of this conflict as if • state of war was
to be the permanent couditioti of
Germany, and as if hermany'a social,
financial and roonouuic isolation was
to toe regarded as a permanent policy
of Gpveru.nrnt.

the Gentian people thrmerlves are to

it is idle to talk of neutral appeals to
the Allies in behalf of tiermauy when

many will have no friends lett. The
sentiment of civiliaattsn will run so
strongly against her that there will lee
no restraint upon the Allies except
what is dictated by their own sense of
moderation and prudence. To be
defeated in war is unfortunate, but It
is not necessarily fatal. Macy great
nations have .utvived such defeat.,
made an b000rable peace, bound up
their wounds and gone forward to new
greatness. But to become • pariah

n ation could survive, and that is the
grave danger that now menaces Oen
ma0y. It is • danger from which her
worst enemy would wish to spare her.
Todayis the hundredth anniversary
cif the rth of BNmarck, and it is •
day that the German people ought
to spend in prayerful contemplation of
the state to which their nation has
been brought by their rulers. When
Germany was weak and divided Bis-
marck's genius welded it into a mighty
empire that ought under wise govern-
ment to bsve endured for centuries.

Every blunder that diplomacy could

blunder (bit it military eutocra_y

become a *anions question. They are
unlike •11 other vessels. They are
merely submerged self-propelled guns
wberrof the totpedo is the projectile.
They cannot fight other submarines;
they cannot overtake modern fast
Steamers on the surface ; they cannot
hoard arrested ships to search for con-
traband goods norrovide • prize

They cannot even remain on the sur-
face in proximity to • prise without
grest risk. Their success in attack
depends almost ent11317 upon ambbsb
and sudden onslaught. To have
searched the vast recesses of the Lusi-
tante would have taken days ; to have
remained by her would have been sw-
cidal. For the German submarine
there was.eemicgly no middle rouse
between what was done and doing
nothing. There is therefore no say
of preventing recurrence of similar
horrors, short of a world agreement
(similar to that which condemns poi-
soning of 5.111).
