REPRISALS
lt goes :i;;':tiii.~t the graiit of any llritishei' to talk of
:iiiil,' liiiich iiiori-_ to advise reprisals yet the titlie has
cniiie iii the liistiilji' oi thi- preseiit wal' when the only
i~i-;isi»ii:ihli~ i‘i-iiii~d_\' is to ineet tire \vitli tire, to iight the
th-\-il with |i»i.< own ireripoiis. The (_iernl:iil itdniiralty
ha- initilii-il the \'\-iirld that henceforth hospital ships
witliiii the new wzii' zone shall lint he treateilas such.
lil otliei' \v<»i'iis__sliips ot' inercy, carrying wounded and
<lyiilg_ as well as wonlen iinrses aild doctors, are to be
treated as :ire otlier vessels :igaiiist _which Gerltiaity
has ileclaireil :ilisoltitely ritthless warfare.
iii-riii:iii_\"s exciisi- or pretext for this outrageous
coiirse is that the lniperial (iovernnletit "has convin-
i-iii_f__f eviileiice iii hziinl illzii hostile hospital ships fre
qiieiitly :ire iiii»ii<ed for ille trzilisportation of atninuni-

this rejoinder. lf iieriiiaiiy carries out its announced
policy of liiui-deriiig_ deliberately and in cold blood,
sliiplonds of woiliidetl men, lttirsesallrl doctors, it will
he withoiii the sltatlow of jiistificatioil.
- it has i:tkeii“t|tis threat of more "itllspeztkable
criiiles” to arotise the llritish public to" demand
that il' thc new threat is ezirricd out reprisals sllall itil-
inedi:itely he t`:ik_ell hy ilie liritisll authorities. This is
the first tinie that .such :i detnaild has been generally
itizide by thc people of Great Britain. liven the ati-
iioiiticeiileiit that steps had been taken ill tlte case of
lfapiriitt lllaikie did not contain the word reprisal, al-
_fioiigliit was assiitilcd that only the intiinatioii that
some lorin of i'epi'is:il ivoitld folloiv saved Captain

'l`h:ii, :ifter till, seenls to he the only recourse iii
dealiiig iijitll-a__tiatioit that has sliow_n its absolute dis-
regard for all laws of God or man. Hospital ships
have been stink before, but in the absence of proof,
tierttttiiiy has been given the benefit of the doubt. The
Iiritish _-\diilir:ili_v, even iii the recent cases of the Bri-
i:iiinie and ille llraeinar Castle. attributed their loss to
“siiilriiig by ltiiiie or torpedo." _ Now, lioivever, there.
is to he no room for doitbt. Crimes that have been,-
eoiniiiiiierl with iinpniiity against helpless iion-coilt-
lilittailts :ire to be iiiore than iliiplicdtcd against wottii-
ed tiieii and nurses :ind doctors, ivllo are to be sent to
the hoitotn of the sea without further warning. ls
there any form of reprisal fit for such premeditated
crime? .\Icrcilcssness on the part of German militar-
ism niitst be inet by nicrcilessness. It is hard, doubt-
less, that the wontcn and children of German cities'
should he killed or lnainied or driven out of their
hotties, bitt ito harder than that women and children,
that doctors and ilurscs and woiiilded .should be sent to
the bottom of thc sea, as Germany has threatened to
do. '|`hc Entetlte Allies have front the outset tried to
play this game fairly; in the 'face of broken conven-
tions and treaties oil the part of the Germans, in the
face of the murder of innocents in open sea coast ci-
ties, (Brent liritain has persistently refused to retaliate

all, she has done all this, is doing it, and is prepared
to go oil doing it while her mailufactitriilg, her trade
relations and- her overseas commerce remain iitiini -
paired. She has grabbed, he says, the trade of the
world, so that her enemies are struggling with food,
lhis combination of war and trade achievement by
Great Britain was never before dreamed of. Two
years ago nobody imagined that -the war cost' fb Great

Outside of her wealth and her navy slte was consid-
ered of no accouitt. There was no way by which they
could calculate iipoti the soul of the nation. Speaking
of that sotil which has 'been waked by the war, the
writer says: ‘Ili is lighting mad today, -and is getting
madder every niinute._ .The stigma _and insults to ere"

back this_heritage pf noble spirit only the historians
of the future may attenipt to answer.” lt is this spirit
which is the deadliest enemy that Germany has to
reckon with today.

To write the history ot' this ‘ re-
markable aollg, is ti. dlfllcult task. its

albeit. it seems on the wliolo to be
rlglltfiilly claimed by Dail Emmet of
Bryant’s Ministreis, 'who nays he
wroielt in New York -in 1859, -to pro-
vide a new “walkiiround" for the fol-
iowltig week. It is further sold that.
tho mtiilstreis when the cold weather
came, mitch preferred the “Dixie”
circuit, meaning the country south of
Mason and Dlxon's lille and often
said to each other. "l wilsh I was ln
Dixie," which became the motif ` of
Dilnlel Deciltuil Emmet's masterpiece.
It at once 'became popular 'and was
sung and played on the pianos and
ree-.1 organs of almost every family lil
-the country; lent ltifelf to dance music
and appeared ~iil more than one ver-
sion, besides the one now standard,
which begins. “l wish l was in de
land ob cotton. ‘Old times dar am not
forgotten.” Il. ls siiiil that some
twenty-tivo different vert-ilonii and par-
odies are known to exist. _
