A German Naval Victory.

One of the most important factors in
the European war is the naval su-
premacy OF England. which has re-
suited in the virtual elimination Of the
German naval forces in operations
against all but Russia, and has seri-
ously menaced German food supplies by
stopping all commerce. But English
naval supremacy would not long pre-
vail If the Germans were able to con-
tinue such successes as that just scored
in the North sea, where submarines
have destroyed three British cruisers.
with an estimated loss of about 1900
men.
As long as the German fleet remains
behind barriers of mines and under the
guns OF fortresses a direct attack upon
it by the English is unlikely. unless the
latter are forced by pressing condi-
tions to assume a, desperate risk in
order to exterminate the German sea
power. In a recent speech Winston
Churchill, first lord Of the British ad-
miralty, declared that If the German
warships did not soon come out and
fight they would be dug out like rats
out of hole" It is possible that the
sinking of the Aboukir, Hogue and
Greasy will compel the British to run
the risk Of forcing an engagement
Numerically the British are far better
supplied with submarines than the
Germans. and the admiralty at London
may decide to counter the German at
tack with similar one by sending a
fotilla of these craft, perhaps into the
Baltic or possibly into the mouth OF the
E1be. in search of prey. Such a venture
would be attended. Of course. with
great danger, but clearly the British
fleet cannot maintain its prestige as an
effective biockading force if 1t remains
idle in the open sea and exposed to oc-
casional submarine attacks with such
results as those just scored by. the
daring little vessels Of the kaiser's
navy.
From the English point Of view it is
absolutely. necessary to maintain domi-
nance over the North sea. If the Ger
man fleet ever attains supremacy,
through the destruction of the larger
British ships by occasional submarine
dashes or in general engagement,
England's position will be one of the
gravest peril, and this fact may now
stimulate action to restore confidence,
which cannot fail to have been some
what shaken by the destruction Of the
Aboukir, Hogue and Greasy, however
small a percentage of the total British
force these three vessels may have
been.

for each round Of 9 holes and 1 point
for the best aggregate score, so that
the most that one player could win

FIRST |NTER-CLUB ]. ] MATCH
Dickinson Golfers Defeat Experts
From Bismarck by IA Points.
Rain Does Not Interfere With
Play. Banquet in the
Evening.

The first inter club golf match was
held here Monday afternoon when
the Dickinson club met and defeated
the experts from the capital city. 1t
was big feather in the cap Of the
locals to defeat the Bismarck delega-
ton. The Bismarck club has been
established longer and has, many
more members than the local club.
There are around 165 members in
the Bismarck club. Last year the
golfers from the east took both
matches, the one on their own
grounds and the one here on the
locals greens. Then the fact that
visitors were exceptionally good play
ers added to the value of the victory.
The match had scarcely started
when the rain began. This did
not dampen the ardor in the
least and all kept up the play. Many
became. little chilled but the ex-
element Of the match soon warmed
all up. During the afternoon re.
freshments were served by the
ladies.
The following gives the teams anG
the points made by each:

Many Of the men in the party have
known Mr.. Simpson for over "a
years. They have been associated
with him in Dickinson and vicinity,
as neighbors and in business way
and know him to be an able and pro-
gressive citizen, a man having the
best interests of the district at heart.
The people of Stark, Billings and
Hettinger counties who comprised
the party to Schafer, Alexander,
/ Williston, Minot and intermediate
places, are acquainted with L. A.
Simpsons work as lawyer and his
services in the legislature for 16
years and they know that he is able
to cope with the best of them in
Congress. He is truly progressive,
as his long record in the legislature
shows, and is heartily in favor Of
any measure which will benefit the
people of North Dakota. Knowing
these characteristics IN Mr.. Simpson
