OUR NEW SUBMARINES.

In view of the part played by sub- marines in the present war, it Is gratifying to learn that Uncle Sam is on the job and is planning vessels of this type of greater cruising range and effectiveness. than any now ex- isting.
 The new craft designed by the navy department and soon to be construct ed appeals strongly to the imagina- tion. A submarine 300 feet long, dis. placing 1,2O0 tons and capable of cruising $500 miles would be won- der considered simply as a triumph of nautical engineering. Her power of offense is still more impressive. Her range and torpedo equipment would enable her, in theory at least, to cross the Atlantic ocean and sink a whole battleship fleet, without ex- hausting her fuel and ammunition. With few such vessels, provided they do what is expected of them, we should have a degree of offensive and defensive marine power never dreamed of in the early experimental days of the submarine.
 It must not be hastily assumed
Valdez daily prospector., 1914-12-29

however, that we are going to beat the world in such innovations. The victories achieved by the German sub. marines, and particularly the U-9, which has sunk four British cruisers, have opened the eyes of all the pow CTS to the effectiveness of such craft against big warships. Very likely Britain, France and Germany are ev- en now at work on models equal to the one planned by the United States. Future naval warfare may be domi- mated by the submarine rather than by the dreadnaught.
 We already have good start, with 50 submarines, though most of them are small France leads the world with 90, which for some unexplained reason have not yet given account of themselves. Great Britain has about 85, Russia AS, and Germany 30.
 Our new war whale will cost more than $1,O00,O0O. Even at that price, battleship would pay for nearly a dozen. Of the ordinary type, 28 can be built for the price of battleship.
 Both economy and policy suggest the multiplication of our underwater craft, even at the expense of our two battleships-a-year program, as long as naval armament is necessary, be- cause of the cheap and admirable pro- lection they offer for our extensive coast and our rich seaports.-Ex.

 Some Southerners see danger in this heavy draft of mules from the South. Many counties are farmed largely by negroes, and every negro who has a mule has offered it for sale 1t is feared that next year, crops will suffer for lack of mules to work the fields.

Germany Calls Out Last Landsturm
 Men

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 29.-Germany is finding events on tlse east front developing far too rapidly. The gen. eral staff considers the situation over the whole battlefield SO serious that they have recommended calling up more men. An order of the kaiser has therefore been posted in all the towns of Germany, announcing that the second ban of the Landsturm must be ready for active service on the 20th of January, 1915.
 To allay the depression, the gen eral staff is doing everything to maintain the hero-worship of Gen. von Hindenburg. The authorities of Zarbe in Silesia have unanimously re- solved to change the name of the place to Hindenburg. and the gen. erals consent has been obtained by wire.
Valdez daily prospector., 1914-12-29

The Landsturm, which was estab- lished purely for home defense, has an estimated strength of nearly 70O.- 900 men. The first line consists of all men between the ages of 17 and S9. who have for one reason or an other received no military training. The second consists of all. trained or untrained, between 39 and 45.
