German Submarine Raids In the
North Sea

In these days waiting England hear
little else from the North Sea but of
disaster to her ships. Four cruisers
have now been torpedoed by German
submarines. and nearly 1000 officers
and men are lost TO the service. The
curtain that shuts out the fleet In It's
nerve racklng duty of patrolling .hc
stretch of waters from the Skagerrnck
to Borkum is never raised. All that
England knows Is that the line Of
battle ships and the attendant cruisers
are cleared for action, ready for the
sea fight that may never be fought.
and that the destroyers and subma-
rines are on the watch for brave and
elusive enemy that strikes in It's own
time, selecting its opportunity.
The only tidings that come from
the hidden feet, except on rare occa-
siOns minor success. tell about the
sinking Of ships and the mutllatlOn and
drowning Of men, I'm every case almost
the entire complement. The other day
1t was three cruisers blown up In a
few brief minutes. and now fourth
cruiser, the Hawke, is added to the

Welcome Guests From Britain.

Seldom' have more opportune visi-
tors arrived in this country than Sir
GEORGE PAIsH and Mr.. BASIL BLACK
Eft. who have come here to hold con-
ferences on the international financial
and commercial situation with a view
10 devlslng plans for restoration Of
communications and relations broken
down or interrupted by the war.
That they come on an official errand
cannot he doubted Mr.. BLAcKErr ~
n British Treasury official and Sir
GroRGT PAisH was early In August con
stitutel adviser 10 the Chancellor OF
the Exchequer. The character of their
visit IL further indicated by the evil
dence that the way was prepared for
them through correspondence between
the state Department at Washington
and the British Foreign Office.
II was made known In London In the
first week OF September that negotin-
lions were being conducted with Wash
ington looking toward the restora don
of normal foreign exchange between
the two countries. although II was only
few days ago that Washington ad-
mitted the fact. The diplomatic pre-
liminaries also suggest the probability
that good will be accomplished by the
direct intercourse which Is now being
established with representatives OF
American finance and business M well
as with the Federal Government
Because Mr.. BLACKErr Is not so well
known here interest will naturally fas-
ten chiefly on Sir GEORGE PAIsH. who
Is very well known on this side. For
the purpose in view Great Britain
could have sent no better emIssary.
As editor OF the Stdtist. one OF the lead
ing financial weeklies OF the world. Sir
GEORGE always saw to II that his pub
llcatlon devoted great amount ~
space to American concerns
He resigned his editorship when he
was attached to the ExcheQuer two
months ago. but he must have carried
with him into his official capacity the
same friendly and informed regard
with which he has always contem-
plated American affairs because this
regard grew out Of personal ms well as
professional relat
For the rest. II suffices 10 say Of
him that he unites with extreme liner
ality an Imagination both active ami

share OF credit must go for the daring
