 |lSl Mistur Edditur: We left Mexico |lgx9g City alrite I newer have seen departure moor abrupt and completely suc- |cessful as far as departures go, than the one we maid frum Mexico City. Things weer getting so extremely warm in Mexico City that we arrived at the conclusion that the quickest way to get out would be too slow, and would be as welcum to us as repeel of the incum tax would be to Wall street.
 To tell the truth, I had about abanduned all hope. My inyentur frend is not the kind of man to inspire one with confidence. And, besides, if he was naturelly verry mag netic charactur he would have difficulty in impressing me with the idear that flying masheen was the safest meens of transpor- tasion. If 1t got rite down to a choise be- tween flying masheen and the New Y ork, New Havin and Hartless, I mite take the . flying masheen, but otherwise prefur sum uther meens of travveling round the coun- try. Emmy how, this inventur persun spoke verry much at randum and discussed his masheen in tecknicle turns far too deep for me. In doing so a wild, hunted look cum into his cold, gray eye Also the uther one. His langwage was about as cleer and con- vinsing as Seniter Matine of New Jersey when discussing canal tolls repeel. But it was the flying masheen or boiled oil or sumthing equally as disagreeabull,- so I ' took the flying masheen.
 N Late one evning my friend told me that 1t was time for us to flee. He sed unless we fled now, that we mite as well begin to pre- pare sum kind of an orasion to delivver to Saint Petur. Putting his finger to his mouth he assumed an air of mystery equaled only joy Detective Burns when he is just about Ito locate clew.

We seeted ourselves in this dinkey looking lit tie masheen, and my friend turned on the Julse.

airy or slowly cruising craft, In sea
weather not too rough to hamper its
limited means for observation, and
under the management Of skillful Of
hcers, the submarine presents the
most dreaded and terrible Of all forms
OF sea attack. Where 1t is able to|
see and to approach its quarry, IT'S
hidden venom and powerful torpedos
constitute an unanswerable argument
In favor Of Its supremacy over the
mightiest dreadnaught which ever
took to sea.
Considerable skill and some good
fortune, however, are required for
successful submarine attack. The enc
my's ships, generally must meet the
requirements Of the case, be cruising
not too far at sea, at not too high rate
Of speed. and must be in ignorance Of
the submarines approach. Speeding
along awash, / the submarine Is sighted
by the battleship before the battle
ship Is visible to the submarine. I'll
is, therefore,. necessary for these
boats to submerge in time when out
after game. The submergingI Is ac-
tcomplished by means of diving planes
and by opening certain valves and
loading water into great tanks built
within the ships, thus practically sink
ing her. In this condition. all that
shows of the little, cigar-shaped craft
is its periscope, which, however, is
said to be easily picked by the pow
erfnl battleship sights when on the
lookout for trouble.
The periscope is a system Of mir
rors, by which perfect image of sur
face surroundings is reflected down a
shaft to an, eyepiece below. To an
extent, this eyepiece is a telltale Of
the submarines approach. The
Germans have sought to overcome.
this disadvantage by the invention Of
a collapsible periscope, which can be
pushed above the surface for the
briefest reconnaissance, and lowered
from sight again, without making 1t
necessary for the torpedo boat to-
alter its cruising lever in order to
envelop itself in complete secrecy.
The Germans for the last four or five
years have spoken of submarines with,
a considerable confidence, with the
suggestion Of having several surprise
innovations in this sort of craft.
At the beginning Of the war, Great
Britain's navy counted 100 subma-
rines, while the German navy count
ed 80. Yet, IL the submarine proves
as fearful weapon as has been pre-
dicted freely, both in Great Britain
and in Germany, this disparity OF
numbers will not make so much DIFF
ference, for it is not submarine
against submarine, but, rather, sub
marine against surface craft, and, II
the submarines have the best of 1t,
Great Britin stands to lose the most
powerful fighting surface feet ever
got together.

WAR ETHICS DISCUSSED
DR.. Adler Sits Morality Pre-
texts" in European Strife.

DR.. Felix Adler, speaking before the
Society for Ethical Culture, yesterday
discussed what he termed preteXts Of
morality, particularly as applied to
the war in Europe.
Germany is ethically right in at
tempting TO take an empire from Eng
land" he said, "and so is England
ethically right in attempting TO wipe
the German feet off the face of the
earth. When ethics come in an at
tempt to justify acts by moral pre-
text is made. / have no use for moral
pretext. 1t is mere cloak.
"The ethics of opinion are the most
neglected. The writers on the subject
before the war launched the nations
into this war. Germany felt justified
in her course. But would it not have
been better had they all appealed to
the hearts Of the nations and thus
deprived the jingoes Of a pretext for
war? Germany was wrong, and every
report of Belgian suffering pierces the
heart.
I'VE in America should remember
what Germany has done for US. We
owe much to Germany from an educa-
tional point Of view. But | never see
anything in our papers about what we
owe Germany. In religion Germany
has freed the Bible from fetishism.
Remembering all we owe Germany,
YOU will understand my feelings tow
ard Germany. IL is possible to con-
denim the act and like the doer. But
none dare show their hands. for all
are red-handed. even Belgium"

WEATHER TO START
RUSH FOR TURKEYS
Conditions Indicate Bar
gain Day Scramble, With
out Bargain Prices.

The first Of the thousands Of Thanks
giving turkeys shipped to New York
for the holiday will arrive this morn
ing, and reports from the poultry
raisers indicate that there is a good
suppy and that the birds will sell at
retail at about % cents pound, Irop
Of from 2 to 7 cents a pound from the
price last year
The drop in the temperature the last
few days is a big factor in the fixing
Of the price Of turkeys The butchers
at Washington Market expressed some
disappointment on Saturday when they
found little demand for turkeys. In
others years, they say, orders were
usually given on the Saturday preced-
ing the holiday.
Board Of Health inspectors sent to
the market to look for bad stock re-
ported that two-thirds Of the birds
that came in were Struck green," or
unfit for food These were promptly
thrown out. The warm weather at the
time Of killing and shipping is given
as the reason for this condition.
The turkeys which will arrive at the
market this morning have been more
recently killed, and it is because of
this, as well as the cold weather,
the best turkeys, according to the
market men, can be had on Wednes-
day, the day prior to the holiday.
The inconvenience of marketing on
this day, however, will be great, since
hundreds always wait until the last
day before making their purchases,
creating a genuine bargain day rush.
With the exception of the vague prom
isc that the price will be low, how
ever. there is small prospect that
bargain day prices will prevail. From
ell indications, the prevailing price
will be 2S cents, or very near that
mark.
