The Old WORLD WAR N
FROM DAY TO DAY

ming" the wireless, so that noti-
fication OF the presence OF the
Germans could not be sent TO the
British fleets at sea. The strength
OF the German squadron may also
have been an important reason
for the escape Only British tirsf
line ships could have hoped TO en-
gage the raiGing battle cruisers
without disastrous possibilities for
, themselves. II Is believed none or
the British pstrolling ships In the
North Sea are capital vessels.
These are supposedly kept In
secret places, safe from subma-
rine attacks, waiting for an emerg-
ence OF the entire German battle
fleet which may wish TO contest
the control OF the seas. Under
these conditions, the only ships
capable of sufficient speed and
gun power To force an issue with
the German raiders may have
been too far from the scene.
Probably each or these three
factors played part In the es-
cape OF the Germans. Neyerthe
less, IL is impossible to evade the
conclusion that British naval
strategy has been defective In not
taking into adequate consideration
o raid under conditions such as
prevailed yesterday.
The facility with which the Ger
mans broke through the Gordon
OF British warships suggests that
raidihg squadron might make Its
way to the North Atlantic and
demoralize British shipping. As a
concluding effort to do all possi-
BILE damage to Great Britain the
plan might be attempted. But,
its success Is improbable. The
raid on the Yorkshire coast was
made under conditions permitting
quick return home. A voyage into
the Atlantic would make this I'M
possible and would, In effect, COM
nit the strategic offense OF sep
arating the German naval
strength. Furthermore, a German
feet would have difficulty reaching
the Atlantic because OF British
mine fields blocking the northern
and southern exits from the North
Sea. Only a desperate resolve to
harm TO the utmost Germany's
chief enemy and complete the
final total OF damage before peace
comes would Justify the hazard or
an Atlantic venture.

NEW YORK, Dec. I'LL a.
m.)-Once more the naval laurel
for personal efficiency passes TO
the Germans. The escape OF the
raiding squadron after oombard-
ing the Yorkshire coast is the
severest blow British naval pres
tige has suffered. The effect OF
the raid on the war itself Is negli-
gible, but the demonstrations OF
individual prowess obllterates for
Germany the bitterness OF the
falkland defeat.
Ii seems inconceivable that the
British admiralty had not taken
into consideration raid In force
straight across the North Sea
from the German naval bases.
Yet, IL plans were drawn TO in
tercept the raiders the British
were caught mapping. The humil-
iation for England Is all the
greater because three battle cruis-
ers took part in the coastal dash.
These vessels form an important
part OF Germany's first line sea
strength. Had they been destroy
ed. the loss TO the kaiser's navy
would have been OF most serious
importance. II has been the fer
vent prayer of all England from
the outbreak OF the war that part
or all OF the German first line
strength would venture into the
open sea away from the shelter Of
the land fo,tiflcations. Now that
they have .11ne forth, II is reveal
ed that the British navy was un-
prepared foS>rhe conditions.
The British admiralty has al
ways been ready frankly to de-
clare II could not protect the en-
tire English coast against occa-
sional isolated raids. Neverthe-
less, Englishmen have never taxi
en- seriously the possibility of a
bombardment such as occurred
yesterday, and the escape OF all
the enemy's ships. How the Ger
mans got away doubtless will con-
stitute matter for a rigid naval
inquiry. Several possible reasons
present themselves. A mist rs
mentioned as assisting their dis
appearance. Perhaps II contribut-
ed more than any other one
cause. Possibly. too. the Ger
man warships succeeded In jam

The Evening Wisconsin: The salient
characteristic Of Senator DOOlittle was
sincerity. He was true to his own con-
victions, and would not bend to the
passing breeze. When Lincoln was as
son for the policies with reference to
the rehabilitation Of the South which
johnson had inherited from Lincoln
and believed in, but which were an
tagoniZcd by the extremists Of the Re-
publican party. DoolittIe was one of
the Senators elected as Republicans
whose votes saved johnson from i'm
parchment. Today the preponderance
Of opinion among dispassonate students
Of the post bellum period is that the
Impeachment Of President johnson
would have been a disgrace to the
nation.
Thomas } Cunningham in The Chip
pewa Falls independent: 1t is safe to
say that there has been no appropria-
ton made in the past ten years which
could not have been cut without injury
to the department or institution for
which it was made. An illustration:
At the close Of the fiscal year the civil
service commission will turn back
$1,000 Of its comparatively small APP
preparation. Were this the rule and
not the exception what splendid sur
plus would be in the state treasury if
pro rata every department and every
commission did the same. If all in
public Office had the tax payers inter
est8 at heart this would be the rule,
but after an appropriation is made the
question is not Glow little can we get
along orr rather, "Where shall we
put it all2" A surplus IS IA great temp
tation, especially to the politicians.
