Prcsunmbly there will be other Wars, In the next one, Germany may be a neutral, and as she is the greatest manufacturer of munitions in . the vorld, she will then be supplying guns and equipment to tho belligerents, just as she has always done in the past. Indeed, it was the German repre sentatives im the- International Peace congress at The Hague who led the opposition to a proposal that neutrals should nor supply munitions to 'bellig erents in time of war. . . There will always Ibe differences of opinion as to what constitutes neutral ity in. the present conflict, or in any Conflict in which we are a neutral. There were suuh bitter differences in the time of Washington that hi ad ministration was rocked to its founda tions by the controversy. There ware American sympathizers with France, American sympathizers with Germany and American sympathizers with Great Britian in the Napoleonic wars. Washington was harrnsed and em bittered by tho censure and criticism that he x prexned regret that he ever accepted the presidency. He was fin ally driven to the extreme of ffivinir passports to the French minister at Washington' and sending him out pi the ciur,tty. Washington wns j-baii&i with umieutmility, and whs assni'ed Fro.ich-Americans, by British-Air cri caii! and by all otliers of foreign sym pathies i-n account ol his foiyign polr icy. ' .'

It is un avoidable in a land of free speech and free action. MeanwIilU, there is the fact in the controversy: If Germany were in con trol of the -eas and Great liritian shut off from America, how many of tlios.j I in the Portland convention would have joined in the action taken, j lntormuionul law cannot bo made. ! from day to day to fit occasions. It ! is tho l'l'Olv.'t of centuries and tho :ui i thorized ordainmant of civilized na- tionp.
