This phrase is the 'Freedom of the 5881 One would think that this was a dc.. sirable Condition which did not nxiat formerly, and which is to be brought about by the war. 11 is a pity Presi- dent Wilson has 1101 stated clearly what 11e moans by the phrase or in what reopen and by whom the freedom of the seas was interfered with before the war. The ports of all nations were open to the ships of all nations, and only pirates, of whom practically there were Crone, attacked ships on the high seas. After war was declared, the German Navy very modestly retired to the Kiel Canal, but Britain kept her cruisers patroling the North Sea, and halting ships of all nations, including those of the United States, that were bound for Northern Europe, and search ing them for supplies of fold and wee materials intended for Germany, The United States protested to Brit- ain against this interference with her shipping, but Britaiu was doing only what the United States would have done had she been in Britain's plaoe. Of course since the United States went into the war and thus became one with Britain she ceased to protest, but whether at the peace oonferenoe she will revive the former protests or not remains to be seen Queer things hap- pen sometimes. The German .Imperial Chancellor, Von Hertling, however, is more explicit as to what he means by the phrase. He says; "It would. however, be highly important for the freedom of aatpping in future if strongly fortified naval bases on ini`portant international routes such as England has at Gibraltar Malta Aden Hongkong, the Falkland Islands, and many ether places were removed.'t These words of the German Chance allot would have some meauing if those strongly fortified planes, whioh Britain maintains, had ever, in the slightest degree, interfered with shipping; but Britain can defy ever) the German Chancellor himself to prove that they so interfered, his words aro meaning- less It was supposed that the German Chancellor referred to Britain as the curtailer of the freedom of the seas, and these words of the Imperial Ler- man Chancellor prove that this suppos- tii0n is oorreet, These places have been no more a matinee to the freedom of the seas than the policeman on his beat is to the freedom of the law-abiding citizen, . Britain maintains then, solely for proteotion of her own immense and worldwide commerce, and not until she is utterly defeated will she rolingciah them at the behest of Germany, W. B, Trotheway.

The cadet's first joy ride and hie earlier tripe generally are taken in company with the instructor, who has full eon - trot and responsibility for the machine, and whose main purposes are, first, to estimate the cadet's coolness, an4 se• ooud, to accustom him to the feel of the air.
