THE PIRATES AT WORK.
The latest programme of piracy promised is being ruthlessly carried out by Germany, and harmless merchant steamers and sailing ships of various nationalities have paid the penalty. It is not to be wondered at that anxiety is felt at Copenhagen at the effect of these piratical operations, and that Danish crews are refusing to cross the .North Sea. We do not suppose that this renewed activity on the part of German submarines will have much effect on the morale of the British sailor, and we feel quite confident that the British Navy will find some speedy means of coping with this inhuman method of warfare. If the madly-preverted mind of Germany thinks for one moment that its objects will be furthered by this latest disregard of international and humane law, it is vastly mistaken, and we should imagine that the re\ nlsion of feeling
will bo so great at these latest atrocities that certain neutral nations will be inclined to throw in the weight of their influence with tin* Allies in their great task of crushing and rendering impotent the thwarted maniacs who by brute force set out to become the masters of Europe.
