The English naval men announce
that the disaster to the Bulwark was

The Most Interesting ed by an in
Phese of the War. ternal explos-
ion but to a
bystander it seems they express a re-
assurance they do not feel.
Since the Germans were able to de-
stroy the Audacious off the coast of
Ireland why is it not reasonable TO
suppose the Bulwark was blown up
by one of the kaiser's submarines?
Outnumbered on the score Of big
dreadnaughts the Germans have been
forced to rely on shrewdness in naval
warfare. Thus far they have been
very successful and they are going far
towards showing the supremacy of
the submarine over the battleship. II
they keep on they will work a COM
plete revolution in naval architecture.
OF what use will be a S15,O0O.OOO bat
tleship If it is helpless in fighting a
little inexpensive submarine and goes
to the bottom the first time it is
struck.
All this has to do with the future,
however more than with the present
war. The English losses at the hands
Of the submarines while significant,
have not been serious in view of the
great British naval strength. At the
outset of the war England had Ga bat
tleships in service or under construc-
ton. Germany had but 81. In cruis-
ers Great Britain had 1913 while
Germany had but SO. Therefore the
English can suffer heavy losses in
battleshIps and cruisers and still re-
tain heavy lead over the foe. Then
there is the French navy which it.
self is not far behind the German
naval establishment
In view OF the German success
with submarines the question arises
why has not England accomplished
more with that line OF fighting. In
numbers the English submarines
greatly outnumber the German. At
the outset OF the war England had 81
submarines IN service while Germany
had but "a. Why have not the Eng
lish submarines accomplished more.
The answer may be found in the fact
the German fleet has remained safely
hidden away while the English ships
exercising control OF the sea have
been more open to attack or again
the better work by the German sub
marines may be due to the fact they
use a better explosive than do the
British. The Germans are far ad-
vanced in science and they may have
deadly torpedoes the rest Of the world
knows nothing about
Whatever the facts may be the

OUR SOIL NEEDS LIME
Sections Found to Be Too Acid For
Good Crop Productions.

That in some sections of Iowa the
use of lime will help the soil is the
fact disclosed by an extensive soil
survey made by the Iowa agricultur-
al experiment station and published
in a new bulletin just issued. The
soil in many areas of the eastern half
of the state is very apt to be acid,
that of the north central is only Oc-
casionally in need of lime and that
of the western part of the state is
very rarely in an acid condition.
The bulletin was issued inlauswer
to many letters of inquiry regarding
the ACCESSIBILITY of adding lime to the
soil. The success which has followed
it's use in the eastern states has led
many farmers to believe that it wat
a sure cure for all evils.
This interesting statement is made
in. the bulletin: ut must be emphas-
lied here that alllIowa soils do not
need lime. also that lime is not a
cure all for all soil deficiencies"
