sents German ambitions in a very clear light, and shows the existence in Germany of a very dangerous and very powerful element, whose instrument for the development and completion of their projects, is the sword of the Prussian, as the inheritors of the Bismarckian doctrine that "might masters right."

RANCIS JUDSON TIETSORT, newspaperman, traveller and export salesman, has been an observer and student for years of our maritime affairs and overseas trade. He is especially well informed respecting the trend of Pan-American events, having paid especial attention to the Republic of Brazil, and to Porto Rico, our own possession in the West Indies. Mr. Tietsort returned not many months since from a year's activity in Porto Rico, where he made an intimate study of that delightful island and its interesting people.

DR.

R. CHARLES A. EATON, whose stirring message in this number was presented to the members of The National Marine League at its annual dinner on March 26th, has been well known as a clergyman at Toronto, Cleveland, and since 1909, as pastor of the Madison Avenue Baptist Church, New York City. Dr. Eaton's work among the men in the shipyards of the United States has helped to endear him to the hearts of the shipyard workers to whom he is revealing, through his addresses and in other ways, the real issues of the war and the shipmakers' obligation and privileges in the great shipbuilding program.

P. H. W. ROSS, President and Found

er of The National Marine League, contributes in this number of The National Marine an important article entitled "The Maritime Development of New Jersey."

Born in Bombay, India, and coming from a military and naval family, Mr. Ross early developed interest in maritime matters, spending six years in our island possessions in Hawaii and in 1889 going to the State of Washington, the "El Dorado of the Pacific," where for 22 years he engaged in banking and commercial undertakings, being instrumental in establishing there a Chamber of Commerce and developing various community enterprises. Mr. Ross, sensing the vital need of a Merchant Marine for the United States, to which country he has given his thoroughgoing citizenship and allegiance, gave up his business affairs on the Pacific Coast to devote himself exclusively to The National Marine League, whose purpose it is to arouse the entire nation to the vast privileges and opportunities in maritime pursuits. The result of Mr. Ross' labors is being increasingly evidenced not only in the success of the League, but also in hundreds of enterprises throughout the country which have been inspired and strengthened by the unselfish service of this organization.

PATRICK VAUX, a British writer, well

known for his sea stories, presents the article "Working the Blockade," which was written from personal experiences of the author.
