THE STRUGGLE.
VIEWS OF THE "NEW YORK TRIBUNE."
Two ideas are, says the New York Tribune, now fighting in Europe, and the successful conception will shape our thought and mould all human destiny for generations to come. America, not less than Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as the narrower confines of the present continental battle ground, will be affected, dominated by the idea which triumplis in the contemporary contest.
Wo have entered upon a second year of wer, but have no clearer indication of what the German Navy proposes to do, or is likely to do, than we possessed at the possible beginning. Then, indeed, it seemed to think that sooner or later the High Seas

Such an enterprise boldly conducted, might cause us a good deal of inconvenience ; but it could not give freedom to German connierer, nor change in aus degree the internal situation of tier- wany. This is a reason for sunising that it will not be undertaken, and the reason scesas further strengthened when we consider that the departure of the battle-cruisers would leave the High Seas Fleet deprived of its most valaublo elements.

We are perfectly willing to discuss with Germany any arrange ment that can be made subject to the openi tion of international law within the boundaries of right and humanity. But Germany begins by wiping them out. She talks, not about our rights, not about the rights which all civilized nations have conceded we binding upon themselves, but of German rights, which have no other existence than in her own saind and under her own peculiar system. It is this fact that all of as must war that we must grasp recognize. It is this circumstance in a world

What, then, will the Herman Fleet do? Early in the war we believed that our sen- power would soon exert such compression upon Germany and crente such a serious wituation internally, that the High Seas Fleet- would be driven to come out in an effort to break the bonis. But we are now able to see that nothing of the kind is occurring There was at the time every visible ground for our belief that the German fleet would tuove. The semi-official "Nauticus" of last year, published a couple of months before the outbreak of war, had insisted most for. when the law bears down upon German tivoli has now been strengthened by the Mr & Mrs J. Gould -
cibly, and with a wealth of figures and statis tics, that the economic prosperity and even the very life of Germany dopended upon foreign commerce, One-third of the national requirements in foodstuffs came from abroad, und a proportionate part of the population depended upon foreign supplies, the-thirds of which came by sca. Athough," we were told, "Anglo-German relations had improved because of the increase of the German fleet, the fact remained that foreign trade was not only the strength but the Achilles' heel of the new German Empire."
It was a favourite idea set forth by the Gerans-Riskogedanke (a threat) that a strong German fleet would hold our aussumed aggressive purposes in check. But Nauticus said that if the German coasts of the were blockaded the "life-stream
would be constricted, and though
sudden death" would not resnit, a condition of misery would follow. The notion of famine resulting from naval compression persisted. It was at least the real or osten sible reason for the institution of the "submarine blockade." The time was near, we were told, when Germany would no longer have food for her people. Might not England, asked "Nautions so influence neutral countries that supplies from them would almost be denied to German? Rightly were economic guestions set forth in the propaganda of the Navy Law, but the semi official volume insisted that the Fleet could not be measured merely by such considera tions. It was in itself a highly important political force, and, in its kind, *s military instrument at sea as the army was on land.
THE ANOMALY.'
The German Foreign Minister now tells America that the murder of the Lusitania's American passengers was defensible in view of the war made upon Germans by England. In sum he asserts the right of Germany to disregard all law
interests,
It is idle to attempt, as all of us have done from time to time, todeal with the German idea on the ground of our conceptions of right of civilization, of morality. The fact is that the Germans have repudiated the moral system of other nations. They have devised their own code of laws. They have proclaimed and exercised their right to live outside the law of the rest of humanity. They did it before the war in all the considerable litera- ture of national thought that was created from 1890 to 1914. It is as just to quarrel with a Mohammedan and denounce hint for, his failure to live in accordance with Chris- tian doctrines ns to assail the German people because they follow other gods than we, than the rest of the world.
AN IDEA THAT MUST BE REPELLED.
But there defend here is none the less the necessity to iden so far as it invades our rights, assails our liberties. We do not believe in the law of necessity.

They have falsified the prognostications which have figured so largely in all the arguments for German naval expansion. A whole literature seeme to be belied by the situation they bave created. How will this situation react upon the Navy? Is it intending to strike a blow, and actually preparing to become a military instrument at sea as the army is on land! Although a definite anewer cannot be given to this question, there are certain considera- tions which seem to suggest how the situation may be influenced or may develop.
A GERMAN PROBLEM.
