Nothing is more likely than that the views of the American Commissioners will fail to accord, in many details, with those of this strong combination. Not for a moment that the United States' representatives, whoever they are, will join with Germany and her Allies--assuming they have seats at the Council Table. (This is a highly debatable question and, in my opinion, the Central Powers should not be handed out anything but the verdict. However. I am aware this is a very radical view to advance, although I have the indorsement of the French Consul General of this Port, who in the Conference of the Allied Powers that assessed the damages against China caused by the "Boxer" outbreak--awards that the United States promptly disavowed and that Japan is about to hand back.

Therefore one, at this distance, is curious to know where the United States will stand! This Republic is spending several billion dollars to create a mercantile marine and a Navy to protect it. The "freedom of the seas" will mean much! more to this country in years to come than ever before. Several things will have to be set-! tled by our Congress at Washington, rather than at the Versailles Congress. First, are the steamships of Germany to be admitted to American ports, as formerly, to do carrying trade and to underbid our steamers? Second, are our nominally American steamship lines to continue un. der foreign ownership; or is the supposedly archaic, hide-bound restriction about the flag to be revived? That outrageous law, passed in the interest of foreign shipbuilders, forbade any ship on the Seven Seas carrying the American flag unless she was built it this country--an infamous law, enact ed at a time when ships were built of steel and we hadn't a single steel shipyard in the United States! That was the power of foreign money, reaching in somne manner.

the pockets legislators. That act is one of the blots upon our national escutcheon! Now that we are to have the ships, are we to guarantee them sufficient carrying trade--as the Britons and later, the Germans (imitating Eng lish example). did? "Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas in time of war. an impossible, immoderate demand. The United States cannot expect to have such right conceded.

The President's Fourteenth Point, in his wonderful address to Congress on January 8, was no doubt, put forward as "a feeler." Every one of the maritime nations among the Allies object to it, including Japan. Their asservation that it is "held in abeyance" is only a polite form of saying. "We lay it upon the table!" And votes enough left forearm. Teddy, as he is known to his many friends, was one of the crack runners at Erasmus Hall High School.

38th Inf. In a recent letter to his mother he wrote: "I am feeling fine and just after having a nice battle with the Germans. We certainty did clean them up. We also took many prisoners. Our company alone took over 531.

That is enough, don't you think so? We lost a few of our good men also, but, mother, they died for a good cause. I don't know how lucky was to have pulled through with only a slight burn, which will heal up very soon. There were some of my good friends killed and wounded in this battle, but it can't be helped. That is what lee are here for--to win this war or die. I myself took 65 prisoners, including two German officers.

One German told me he did not want What THE questions that will come before the great Congress of Versailles will not be military, but political. A fact imparted to me ten days ago by a returning American. and that have guarded with my life, was disclosed by a Manhattan journal yesterday, namely, that there is not perfect accord between Great Britain. France and Italy regarding the amount of punishment to be imposed upon the Central Powers. Ignoring, for the moment, all reference such representation as the 21 nations, large and small, will claim at the Congress-and which I yesterday humorously attempted to dispose under the Mark Hanna system (a pleasantry I now regret, because the problem has developed much more gravity than any the Cleveland "boss' ever -it may be said, frankly, that England will not accept any code of "Freedom of the Sea' other than one that suits her! And she is right to a certain limit.

Only now are most Americans beginning to recognize the fact that her arbitrary violation of that clause in the Hague Conference of 1909, permitting neutral nations (as the United States was in the beginning of this war) to supply other neutral nations with food and munitions, would have prolonged this war for years. Holland, whose people are thrifty, if not avaricious: and Sweden, in entire sympathy with Germany, between them, would have fed the enemies of the Allies and. later, enemies of the United States with provisions from this country--theoretically shipped to neutral and friendly States. After such a practical demonstration of the inadequacy of The Hague provisions, nobody except Germany and her Allies-that-were is likely to dispute the British rendering of a new law regarding "the freedom of the seas" in time war. Bitter ence has taught the world that when two great maritime powers are at war there cannot be any freedom of the oceans! During our Civil War the Federal Government did all in its power to demonstrate the same thing.

President Wilson undoubtedly has a new and very different line of policy to suggest. In his demonstrated knowledge of international law, let us hope he will enunciate a principle satisfactory to England and France. Italy is not afraid of Austria, as a maritime power, now that she has possessed herself of the only harbors her long-while enemy held on the Adriatic, Trieste and Pola. And yet Italy is quite a maritime nation; her steamers are seen in every part of the Mediterranean of late years were active in trans-Atlantic trade and beginning to voyage to the Far East. Therefore Great Britain, France and Italy may be expected to stick together, and their allied views will be those of 10 Downing seven times and escaping uninjured.

The plain truth about any doctrine that can be advanced regarding "free. dom of the seas" is that when at war, leach nation is an authority unto her. self and submits to drastic treatment of her commerce from other nations only when she is weak in sea power? Is it conceivable that the United States would have surrendered Mason and Slidell, taken by a zealous Federal captain from the Trent, a British passenger steamer, had the Lincoln Gov. ernment possessed a navy able to cope that of Great Britain and to tain the blockade of Southern ports at the same time? Capt. Wilkes was censured, not by Congress, but by Secretary Seward, for his act--a most patriotic one that would have shortened the war by months had the two Commissioners been interned instead of surrendered.

It was a case of need's must; the Federal Government could not fight the Confederacy and England at the same time! If the Entente Allies are already determined that the United States shall not regain her proud place upon the seas--a position lost chiefly through the conduct of England in building and selling privateers to the Southern Confederacy for money that was only "fiat" and known to be such in the event of defeat--they mistake the present feeling among the American people! Hereafter, the nations of Europe must recognize the fact that the United States intends to regulate its own affairs. Lobbies of foreign capitalists, will be watched when they make their appearance at Washington. The newspaper press is a very different sort of organization compared with what it was in the corrupt period following the Civil War-a time when some of the subsequently lofty-headed "journalists" were "let into" jobs like the "Whiskey the exploiting of Presidential candidates. with large "barrels" back of them: the Samana Bay scheme, intended to make half a dozen editors millionaires: the Credit Mobilier, wherein only a few editors like Brooks (who was also a Representative) got enmeshed, and the PaMail Subsidy scandal in which several Philadelphia newspaper men were exposed. There isn't any "Newspaper Row' at Washington today.

Correspondents are honest and unpurchasable. I hail with glee the promise of that thoroughgoing scribe, Louis Seibold. who promises drastic exposure of American "profiteers" since the war' began. He can "go as far as he and I shall be pleased. Men who take advantage of the distress of a nation to get rich, deserve a the execration of their fellow men in all countries and all climes.
