The New York ?Sun makes ? gal lant and hopeful effort to ?how that the whole Issue between the United State and Germany about the subma rine warf ace may bc reducid to the establishment of a single fact, name ly, whether or not the Lusitania was armed or unarmed on ber last and fatal voyage. If the ship carried mounted guns, as the German gov ernment alleges, then, says The Sun, the United States may have to recede from its most advanced position; if she did not, the German government. lt thinks, would bc ready to declare its regret for the sinking of thc ship and that the way would be opened for reparation by Germany for the losses Inflicted. It in very questionable whether even the mounting of guns for defensive purprzme would har? made the Lusitania a belligerent ship in the accepted meaning and Intent cf such a definition, while she was engaged rgeularly in passenger traf fic, but grant that side of the alterna tive to save unnecessary argument, and look now at the other. Suppose lt proved to the satisfaction and ac knowledgement of the German gov ernment that the Lusitania was not equipped with guns, does the German case, as made by Herr von Jagow, col lapse? The silaged armed condition of the Cunarder was but one of a sheaf of reasons advanced by the Ger man foreign office as technical justi fication of the sinking. It was alleged besides that the ship waa carried on the register or the British admiralty as a reserve cruiser, and that she was, therefore, always a belligerent. It was held, also, that she wss carrying contraband of war and merited de struction that this might not be used to kill German soldiers. And there btands the "war zone" proclamation, in which lt wgs announced that cvery-^iiostlle vessel flying the flag of a nation hostile to Germany would he attacked and sunk by German sub marines, If they could t>e reached. Thero is nothing to be gamed by spu (ialfklng on any one reason in the hope or expectation that disposal of that will qompose the situstion that has been crested. Germany sank th : Lusitania Just as she has sunk some ulxty other British merchant vessels in reptissl against Great Britain for the undertaking of that enemy to cut off food supplies from the German people, and lt is a waste of time ami tm aggravation to narrow the issue from thain general condition. If the question ls to be discussed at all lind there are some very excellent ressens that could be advanced to show why lt ought to be-it ohould be discussed on the very broad?st grounds. Germany could multtoly the legs upon which she would stand In Just i lieut ion of her campaign, as fest as they might be cut from under her, provided lt was conceded that ibo used of submarines against mer chant vessels waa permissible In any circumstances compatible with the in terests and the rights of neutrals It nay not be generally appreciated how weeping was the range of President Wilson'* protest against tho new rnethod of warfare. This paragraph rrom hts "Lusitania note" wilt show that: "Manifestly, submarines can not bo used against merchantmen, as the last Few weeks have shown, without an in evitable violation of many sacred principles ot Justice and humanity." It is possible to regard that as too : ompreh?nbive a condemnation of Ute it'w method of warfare, but lt ls no*. lOsslble to narrow the Issue it pre ?ents down to tho question ot whether sr not one destroyed ship-though that happened to be the Lusitania was aimed with guns. On the piolnt >f armament, moreover, there Is this hat would cntatftty be said: Every rossel that can plow the waves ls irmed for offensive agalast the sub narine, potentially. The bow nf a iwift ship is the most effective wes son against the under eeo boat. Ram ming is about the oe*r ??ode of at tack upon Ute fetbmerstbles that promises any resulta.

Count von BerriBtorfT8 efforts to preserve peace for thia country In UH relations with Germany deserve recog nition. The German ambassador, al though embarrassed by the interrup tion in his means of communicating with his government, is extraordinar ily active in his endeavor to present to Berlin an accurate representation sot only of American demands but of the national sentiment behind the de mands. The most apparent error in Ger many's policy throughout the war is that it has considered only the pon lerables. In a world of sentiment it bas endeavored to create a' world of Tact, evidently not understanding that when the emotions are sitting as ludges facts make poor witnesses. Part of the German fury may be ex plained by saying that the Germans see facts too large and are enraged that the rest of the world does not Bee them at all or sees them too small. The elaborate endeavors to prove that the Lusitania carried guns, and the Insistence upon the fact that lt carried ammunition get nowhere against the American sentiment that the killing of noncombatants, women ind children ls murder without ex :use. 80 long as the Germans' decline to iee the noncombatants on the decks ind the Americans decline to see the immunltlon in the hold the opening [or deadly consequences ls wide. 3onnt von Bernstorff ls ! ying with ill his power to bring his government o understand that the American po sition is one which Ute American sen timent made lt obligatory for tho rovernment to take.

Busi ness requires the personal supervision, the personal in terview with the foreign rep resentative who realizes the value of personal contact. To have command of French, Spanish or Ger man assists a young man or woman to progress with the firm. Dentistry, law, medicine and other like professions are elow and arduous because the student is rarely equipped to read or understand the phrasings of higher and foreign authorities, whose wolds are needful for study. Henea, much) valuable time is lost and the student makes slow progress. Foreigners arrive in this country, associate with Americans, attend, night schools and devote their minds to a study of oar language. Japa nese young men in particular seek situations as butlers, waiters and g?n?ral utility in order to be in contact with the language. I have met graduates! of colleges of Japan, men of high birth, priests and soldiers, merchants andi college students, engineers and theological students who have acquired the difficult American tongue. For intelligent young men and women there are opportunities as inter preters, stenographers, proof readers, copy holders, governesses, teachers, chaperons, professional, men and in many other vocations. Notably, the Spanish possessions and Mexican commercial, profes sional and mining interests are demanding assistance from students of Spanish. The first practical interest dates from the Cuban and Spanish war, when Americana flocked to Cuba and the Philippines. Clerical and professional men and women eagerly sought language schools and by con centration and application they soon acquired a certain knowledge, which waa developed later when they settled in their new homes. To train the mind in a study of languages is fine disciplina. The concentration a squired through this means is valuable in many ways, for* it is the mind that develops the successful man.' In one's spare moments a language may be hirned by means of a study at home through,excellent books for this purpose, the phonograph, or at night school. Contact tad study with natives is preferable, but many men learn as they can. ?*?-J It was Lord Bacon who said "reading maketh the full man," but ho failed to tell his public that loo much reading of a certain sort might make the reader "too full." I do not decry the reading of fiction. An old instructor of mine used "{to soy that during the winter months everyone should read solid books for the most part and do light reading in the warm weather. His theory was thal too muck solid reading during tho entire year tended to make ont mentally stodgy. The point I wish to snake, however, ia that mental intoxication, con sequent upon too great indulgence in tho printed page, is as bad ao phys ical intoxication. If we read too much fiction our taste is apt to become (vitiated. The summer is the time for fiction, but H ht also the time for the i country, for athletic exercise, for botanizing, for getting acquainted with that wonderful nature which ia ?ll about us. . ..KMH! < *, ? ?, i .j.,, . ? ,.., . ," . , ., ^ Tennyson's Remarkable Prophecy (From "Locksley ?all.")
