summer days is this embroidered
frock of white serge. The otherwise
plain blouse is elaborated by the adj

is slightly fulled and has broad
turnback cuff of the material, also
ornamented with hand embroidery.

and only then can the submarine hope
for success.
But even SO the odds are against
tho submarine If proper precautions
are taken, as is shown By the actions
of the allied sea forces which have
been shelling the German flank for
several days. These vessels have been
operating in a very restricted area
for some time certainly sufficiently
long for a group Of submarines to
proceed against them from any Ger
man port. Their position has been
known to everybody and it would
appear an ideal chance for a few sub
marines to either destroy them or to
drive them off. But nothing OF the
sort has happened These ships have
been left unmolested to harass the
German flank, to prevent their ap-
proach 10 the coast. and 10 cnfilade
their trenches for several miles in
land. They are small vessels of such
speed that they could not escape
from submarine If attacked
IF the submarine is all that its ad-
mirers believe, it is incOnccNablc why
these vessels have been left to inter
fere 80 seriously with the major opcr-
ations Of the German army The fact
that they have been so unmolestcd on
an open coast testifes TO the power
of the British fleet to protect itself
against all forms Of attack.
'The war is only at It's beginning
yet, and many lessons may be learned
Eefore its finish, but so far nothing
has occurred TO encourage the belief
that the submarine is supreme; on
the contrary 1t IS losing prestige daily.
Many factors tend to make the sub
marine popular as means Of defense
the silence and mystery of its move
ments, the tremendous power of It's
blows, the almost unlimited field for
imagination among those who know
least Of its powers and shortcomings,
the always human sympathy for the
little fellow" the David against
GOliath-all touch chord I'm the
popular fancy But the hard facts
demonstrated by three months of war
show that out of the two hundred
submarines operating in waters Of
very restricted extent. the results ac-
complished have been practically nil

pense Of q reduced number Of battle

WASHINGTON Dec o. Ever since
the sinking Of the British cruiser

partment has been dcluged with let
tcrs containing suggestions from in
dWiduals all over the country for the
Improvement OF the marine ana for a
great extension of It's usefulness Sat
isfied that most Of the writer's OF

an exaggerated idea Of the lighting

there was very present danger
of serious Interference with
the naval building program and per
haps an almost total suspension Of
the construction Of additional battle
ships II erroneous ideas obtain COM
mon crcdence, the naval officials
have trying to correct this impress
sion They have made it point to
reply to each Of the letter writer's,
setting out in detail the reasons why,
I'm the judgment OF the department
officials, it would be disastrous to
abandon other naval construction en-
tirely in favor of the marine, and
pointing the limitations which sur
round these little boats.
These arguments have been re-
duced to form in the following state
ment which it may be said accurately
represents the views Of the technical
officers Of the navy in regard to the
merits of the submarine:
The land operations of the war
have been so overwhelming, and the
naval conflicts so comparatively few
that the importance Of the sea oper-
Gtions of the various nations is apt to
be lost sight Of, II is the bralliant
feats which strike the eye, the dash
Of the British against Helgoldand,
the destruction of three cruisers by
a German submarine, rather than the
slow bearing down by sheer weight
of the allied fleet against the whole
German coast line.
80 far the submarine has carried
off the honors, and at the same time
( has greatly disappointed its admirers
in that 1t has not done more 1t was
freely predicted before the war that
the day Of the dreadnaught was
passed; that the submarine would
drive it from the seas,

ish cruisers, Hogue, Cressy and
Aboukir, by the German submarine
U-9, and later the sinking Of the

Nevertheless, the advocates OF
submarines are beginning to evidence
signs of impatience at the pauclty Of
results They realize that there are
over two hundred submarines In the
navies of the warning nations, and so
far only one has done anything Not

"The loss Of these vessels has had

TELEPHONE,
OPERATOR
IS VICTIM
By United Press.


Muskogee, Sept. 25.--According to
reports received here this morning,
the town of Braggs, about twelve
miles southeast of Muskogee, was
thrown into intense excitement this
morning by the discovery of crime
which shocked the entire community,
Anna Martin, 3 telephone operator, be
ing the victim of an unknown assail-
ant.
The young woman was found in her
room at her home this morning, un-
conscious in blood-soaked bed, her
skull being crushed.
The parents of Miss Martin declar-
ed that they heard no disturbance in
the house during the night, nor was
there anything else to indicate that
their daughter was being made the
victim of an assault.
Although searching investigation
has been made by the officers, SO far
no clew to the crime has been found.
No motive for the crime is known and
the only theory advanced thus far is
that it was the deed of an axe fiend
Miss Martin was eighteen years Of
age and was one of the popular en-
ployes Of the telephone company.
