These were Christian Scince. in termarriage and socialism, In follow ing Christian Science he said there is q neglect of their own faith in conse- quence of which they become sick and turn to Christian Science. If they fol- lowed their own faith they would not have sickness come upon them. Mar riage with those outside the Jewish race he pointed out as the great evil, from the fact that very seldom were these mixed marriages happy They almost always become 6 burden and the offspring of mixed marriages be- come strangers to their parents and the Jewish race. As to socialism he said that he was not discussing their theory but their practice and that their nam ObJcct was to undermine the Jewish religion. He advised the Jew ish young people to be tolerant and patient towards their own racial con nections and to make a strong and progressive stand for the Jewish race.

AT DAVIS THEATRE.
Vaudeville and PhotopIays.

One of their best bills of the sea son in vaudeville and photoplays was the verdict at the Davis theatre on Monday by the good sized houses that attended the matinee and the evening performances.

ARMY TRANSPORTS
 MAY AID PHILIPPINES

WASHINGTON The experiment of providing army transports for eN- ports from the Philippines may short ly be made by tho government
 It is expected that President Wil- son will approve the plan for using army transports to carry the Philip pine exports. The present situation in the Philippines is said to threaten commercial paralysis There are now practically no commercial ships avail able. and the Philippine exporters have huge quantities of hemp. tobac- co. and other products piled high up on the quays at Banilo,
 Secretary of the Navy Daniels first was asked to permit the naval colliers' which have been cngeged in carrying coal to the Orient, to bring merchan- disc back. but legal officers Of the navy decided that such use would violate the law. Secretary of War Garrison then decided that army transports might be utilized
 The law is SO strict that only the gravest emergency would justify the use of transports in this manner, but the judge advocate Of the army ruled that if certain formaliues be com piled with it would not be improper to bring the transports into the car rying service.
 All products awaiting export first must be taken over by the Philippine government technically, so that the War Department may look to the gov ernment for reimbursement No diff faculties are expected in doing this.
 Gov-Gen. Harrison of the Philip pines says the army transports now at his disposal will not be sufficient to handle all the Philippine exports, but that they will so far toward im- proving the situation. Every Dossi- ble facility will be given private ship. ping to handle exports as far as pos sible. There is no desire by the gov ernment to take away trade from Dri- vately-owned ships

SUBMARINE WARFARE
 ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING

NEW YORK. March 1S.-At the outbreak of the war German had S6 submarines. She may have built more since that time. She certainly has lost more than she cares to tell. At least ten can be traced. and some estimates are considerably larger. The net effect upon British commerce has not been one tithe as considorable' apart from it's negative military value as the practical wiping out of the German Commerce destroyers at sea. Advices received by this newspaper from eminently qualified experts are that one certain result will follow Germany's submarine warfare. That is the loss of an her submarines.
 What then. has tho submarine ac- comphshed? The state department cannot see 1t. and its newspaper crit ics. in many instances. are in little better case. It has serapped all in- ternationai law governing blockages. TO command respect from neutrals a blockade must be effective. It cam not be effective as long as the block aded power possesses any submarines The law. in fact. was established be- fore submarines. dirigibles, or aero planes were weapons of war It no more applies in the case of the sub. marine campaign or the retaliatory measures of the Allies than the laws governing stage coaches would apply to the railroads.
 This war like most other wars, is establishing new precedents and en- acting notifications or extensions of International law. Certainly Great Britain and the coast of France are in no sense blockaded by the German submarine. While the new policy of the Allies must be many more times effective in it's damaging effects up- on Germany, 1t cannot be called blockade, and 1t does not call itself one.
 What has happened is that unfor- seen conditions have established new rules of war. This Is no doubt hard upon neutrals. who would like to see the obsolete rules observed. But it is difficult to see what effective action neutrals can take unless they are pre- pared to back up their protest by force of arms.-(Wall Street Journal)
