Canopv Needed At Union Station.

To the Editor of the Mail Bog:
The wet and cold season is at hand.
and still nothing has been done about
putting up a shelter in front of Union
Station to enable people to enter and
leave street cars from the station por-
tico without exposing themselves to the
elements. Why not?
There is no possible reason, either of
architecture or expense or general ar
rangement why the needed canopy
should not be erected. 1t could be
made rather to improve than to de-
tract from the general appearance of
the station. With il there would be no
doubt that the Washington station
would be the most practical passenger
terminal, for comfort and convenience.

DIXMUDE ANDTHE COAST


Dixmude has been taken after long
series of furious attacks, follows
closely on the heels of the state
ment that the allies have retaken
Lombaertzyde, and that they have
been able this time to hold it in
the face of a violent German often
sive. The significance of these
movements, in the. struggle for con-
troll of the north of France sea-
coast, is perhaps greater than is a,
first appreciated.
DiAnude is about ten miles inland
in the sand dune country on the way
to Dunkirk, the present objective of
the Germans. 1t is just about due
southeast of Lombaertzyde, which is
on the coast. The allies have a spe-
cial advantage in the narrow zone
along the coast because their sea
power enables them to use naval ar
tillery in defending their land posi-
tions. Thus, they are edging their
way along northward, close to the
coast, while the Dixmude reverse
shows that they have lost ground
farther inland. The German ad-
vance point at Dixmude therefore is
outflanked by the allies forces at
Lombaertzyde, and if enough force
can be mustered to make the flank
ing effort effective, there is always
the chance Of forcing the Germans
back from Dixmude by an enfilading
movement from the coast line.
The desperation of this German
movement along the coast has at no
time been very satisfactorily ex-
planned by any of the military crit
les. 1t has been carried out at great
cost to both sides, but much the
greater to the Germans; and on the
whole it does not seem to have ac-
complished results justifying the eff
fort.
submarine in the harbor of Deal,
near Dover, where she torpedoed a
British torpedo gunboat and es-
capped, carries very clear idea of
what the Germans have in mind.
There have been persistent reports
that large fleet of new submarines
are being constructed in Germany;
that they are to be transported in
sections to the Belgian coast; that
when the coast towns nearest to Eng
land are in German control, these
will be made the bases for attacks
by submarines and otherwise; and
that, finally, when decentralization
and terror have been spread among
the British forces, an actual inva-
sion of England will be the next
move.
Sir Percy Scott's sensational dec
laration, shortly before the war
opened, that battleships had been
rendered obsolete by the develop
ment of mines, torpedoes, and sub
marines, is getting higher apprais-
al with every week Of the war. The
British navy declined to take Sir
Percy seriously when he ventured
his opinion. On the other hand, the
Germans had long held very much
that view, and had been preparing to
make the most effective use of sub.
marines and torpedoes. 1t must now
be admitted even by the sturdiest OF
the old-fashioned British sea fight
ers that the Germans have made
good for their own theory of naval
war, and for the misgivings that
Sir Percy expressed.

fired big gun at any time or place

Permit me to make a plea for the es-
Establishment of curfew bell in this fair

Why not? Fanatics are In control Of

forced by the police at the behest OF ell
manner of experimentalists. Policemen
devote their energies to the arrest OF
alleged drunks to swell the police pen
sion fund. while murderers. highway
men, and other real criminals are I'm
mune. Take the record of arrests am
note the number of arrests for intoxi-
cation and for violations of doubtful
regulations. and then search for arrests
Of persons charged with crime. That IS
the test.
