FOREIGN LAW IN AMERICA.
The application of foreign law to
American territory may yet prove to
be a serious problem.
The first evidence of it was the or-
der given by llIe Italian government
for the mobilization of Italian reser-
vists in this country. That order ap—
plied not only to the. new-comers who
still owe allegiance to Victor lm-
manuel. bill to tens of thousands of

their colors: the Italian government
could not take them by force. But
meal pressure has been exerted on
them by the declaration that. if they
ignore the call, they may never re-
turn to ltaly without being liable to ar-
rest and imprisonment. Italy, it ap—
pears, does not acknowledge the com-
pleto expatriation of her subjects, and
we seem to have no treaty covering
the matter.
The latest manifestation of irritat-
ing loreign authority is of German

States, sanctioned by
diplomatic representatives of the Gen

.American citizens the German penal
code for treason. Such citizens, to-

out citizenship rights, have been no-
tified in great numbers of cases that
it is illegal for them to engage in any
work connected with “war orders.”
They are threatened with a clause in
MAKING THE TIDE WORK.
’ The ocean tide was put to work in
New York the other day, apparently
for the first time in the history of
American engineering. And the way
it handled the job was a revelation.
The tide was utilized as a bridge
builder,
Third Avenue elevated bridge over
in the reconstruction of the
the Harlem river. The engineer had
planned a feat absolutely-
The problem was to replace the mid-
dle span with a modern structure
while the bridge remained in use.
They had built, separately, a new
span weighing 1,100
floated on four huge barges to the
vicinity of the bridge. Other barges
were placed under the old span at
low tide, then the operation started.
it was a surprisingly simple thing.
As the tide rose, raising the barges
with their platforms, the old 260 ton
bridge span was slowly and gently
lifted from its place without the exer-
tion of a single pound of steam pow»
er, or the lifting of a hand. Then a

terruptcd for only twelve hours.
That feat is sure. to set the engin-
eering world thinking. If the. tide
can lift an 1,100 ton bridge span Its
lightly as the human hand lilts a. toy,
what can it not do in the way of
working for man?
The tidepower going to waste on
our sea coasts is inconceivably enor-
mous. In thousands of bays and in
lets, twice every day, water areas
many square miles in extent rise sev
eral feet and then subside again. The
power of Niagara is atriiie compared
with the reservoir force which might
be tapped by building proper works
for the control and use of the vast
volume of rising and falling water. In
fact. our future engineers may get
more power out of the tides than all
the present horsepower in America
amounts to, from all sources.
W
THE GERMAN EDITORS.
Germany's back-down in the sub
marine controversy has left the Ger-
man-American newspapers in an em
barrassing plight.
Our German editors have out-Ger-
maned the Germans. They justified
the Lusitania massacre. and some of
them gloried in it. The widespread
horror and indignation aroused in Am
erica by the von Tirpitz policy seem~
ed to make no impression on them.
They went further than the Berlin
papers in their plea of “necessity."
They. bitterly denounced President
Wilson for voicing the American de-
mands for lawfulness and humanity in
sea warfare.
When the Arabic was sunk, the Chi-
cagd Staats-Zeltung said that the Am-
erican victims suffered simply “the
natural consequences of their reck’

thing that may injure the German gov-

‘ The code, of course, cannot be en.

made practically effective here by the

VIEWS
HOMAGE TO LABOR.
Editor Sentinel:
its victories are real and constitute
a benediction. Man’s progress to the
higher things of life a phanes of the
worker's duty should be truer {cali-
zation of dignity. There was never a.
time when it was more propitious to
pay homage to labor and its mighty
achievements. We behold by far the
great majority of the Caucasian race
as was utilizing the energy and in-
telligence of more than three hun-
dred millions people in the work of
destruction, the result of which will
contribute not one atom of good to
the human race or the cause or Chris
tian civilization. Labor’s victories are
real. they constitute a benediction;
they make for happiness. for the mm-
at and spiritual elevation of mankind.
War's victories make for woe, for no?-
erty. for oppression, for homelessness,
for the destruction of the innocent, for
the revel of brutish passions. Labor
makes for love—it marks the progress
of man's journey to the higher things
of life. Labor is a builder of homes,
war reduces them to ashes. Labor
plants the vine that clarnbers over the
cottage door. in which the waiting wife
and children stand to greet theloiler’s
return from the tasks of the day. war
kills the teller. burdens the wife with
zrief and stones the children. labor
is honesty and fidelity; war is pillage
and treachery. Labor is virtue; war
Is a raviahcr of the defonceless. In
bar in truth; war is deceit. Labor is
life and faith and hope; war is hurt
dcr. frenzy and despair. Labor makes
the holds glad with golden grain, and
the birds to sing in the joy that am-
matcs all nature; war leaves the earth
comm, while vultures sit In solemn
silence contemplating the scarred and
broken landscape. Labor is altogether
good and is man's pathway to
heaven; war is evil and marks the
road to ruin and death. We see all
lilies. things today; we look around us
in our own country and behold the
'fruitful harvest—it is a land if plenty
-~on every side we behold the wan-
derful cities. our churches and schools,
our cattle on a thousand hills—all
these testify of labor's worth; they
iconsiitute labor's benediction-and
across the water in the land of our
ancestors see what was, is doing:
think of those tens of thousands of
gallant men who have fallen In
France. Belgium, Germany,‘ Austria.
and Russia; think of the hundreds at
thousands of homes waiting anxiously
for footsteps that will never return:
think of the thousands of blackened
spots from which ascends the smoke
of ruined inhabt‘htlons; think or the
danger of women and children; think
of the cities destroyed, and of the
rivers 5913;? a crimson tide to sea:
Surely a co parlson will give to each
of us a keeper appreciation of the
great boom human labor is; surely,
we must have a truer realisation of
its dignity, as those frivolous ones
who are prone to look upon honest la~
bor as uncouth and beneath one'a re-
spect give a thought to labor today
and contemplate what a truly great
blessing it is, and how much uobler
it is than the emptiness and worthless
mess of indolenee. Labor is a king at
whose shrine all men may pay tri-
bute—all others. Kaiser‘s. Crate and9
Emperors—are as nothing compared
with the true monarch of Christian
civilisation, whose throne has been
sanctified and blessed by the great
‘God himselt.
