The feature OF the trial was the sp.

hard featured female who looked a
coed deal more like an all-sround

little bride. But il turned out that
she had been the shy and winsome
bride OF every one Of the Witnesses
She told how she had married them,
one by one, and how each had habits
that forced her to get divorce. One
sample will suffice-Levenson's lido

cAPTTALIZING HORROR
That half-page ad in today's Chi
cago American was one of the worst
examples of capitalizing and COM
mercializing a horrible crime that
ever appeared in newspaper.
In big type these words appeared:
you have heard what happened at
Joliet yesterday morning. See The
Birth of Nation at the Illinois the
alter and then ask-WHY?"
The awful crime was the murder
of Mrs. Allen, wife of the warden of
the Joliet penitentiary. A negro was
suspected, but has not yet been prov
en- guilty.
1.-The Birth of a Nation" is won
derful picture, but is charged with
melting race hatred especially of
the whites toward the negro.
Yet that advertisement would do
more to stir up race hatred than the
picture itself could do, being sprung
on the public just at time when the
public mind was Mortified by that
awful crime.
No newspaper should have accept
ed that advertisement. 1t is proper
subject for the ad men of the world
to discuss.
Is somebody trying to start race
war in Chicago? Does that some
body want punishment visited on de-
cent negroes, even if it should de-
velop that one is an inhuman beast?
P. S.-This ad appeared in the
early editions of the American and
Journal, but not in the News and
Post. 1t was evidently taken out of
the later editions.

One Soldier Hates the Little
Pests Worse Than His
German Enemy.

Paris on Riviera Express, May 10.
-(By Mail to New York)-Private
Leopold Buzancy in the seat opposite
was grumbling. His crouch had no.
thing to do with the wound in his
foot which had just reopened and
was giving him serious pain for be-
cause of that foot he was to have a
two weeks furlough away from the
trenches. Nor was it because he fear
ed the German bullets; for dating
from yesterday he had lived within 80
meters of the enemy swapping shots
daily for the past two months. He
was kicking because toad frogs and
mice kept him from enjoying life at
the front.

Germany has demonstrated what
many naval experts have long con-
tended. that the submarine Is the most
efficient ship Of the navies Of the fu-
ture. And yet, though the first to
wage war successfully under the sea,
Germany was the slowest and last of
the great naval powers to recognize
the efficacy of the submarine.
United States naval experts have
long reposed faith in the submarine.
The fact that today we have only a
comparatively small f1otilla is due to
the cross road" naval policy of con-
gress rather than to lack of foresight
on the part of our sea fighters.
The general navy board. OF which
Admiral Dewey is president. has gone
ahead, contesting with the navies of
the world for the development of the
submarine.
The result is that at least. and prob
ably before Germany, England and
France. the point has been reached
marines capable of sufficient speed
and large enough to be habitable for
a long enough period so they can
go out to sea, accompanying the fleet
of fast dreadn oughts. and play COM
spicuous part In mid-ocean battle.
Whether such great progress has
been made by any other leading naval
secrets Of the warning nations OF Eu-
rope are carefully guarded.
With the idea Of constructing a
fleet Of big, fast, ocean-going sub
marines the general navy board last
November asked congress to author
ize three fleet submarines" and sin
teen coast submarines for the 1916
naval program. The number was cut
down to eight. one of which is to be
40 ~
ommendatton the general board said:
For several years past all leading
naNfes have been striving to perfect
a submarine of an enlarged type
with habitabihty. radius, and speed
sufficient to enable 1t to accompany
the fieet and act with 1t tactically,
both in offenss and defense. Our
DESIGNERS and builders are now ready
to guarantee such a type. The value
Of such a type for distant work with
the feet can hardly be overeetimat-
ed"

The Fact That We Have Comparatively Small Fotilla is

is Opinion Of James.

No doubt his trip would have re-
manned secret, for a time at, least, but
for the combination of a girl. a young
| reporter, pair Of white duck trou-
! sers, q rainy day and thirsty sailor.
The girl was the magnet that drew
the young reporter from has post Of
duty at Oyster Bay to New York. The
white ducks we're worn by the repor-
ter because the day promised to be
warm. The rain came later to con-
found the wearer OF the ducks and
tho sailor was thirsty because the
come on the scene.
The Plunger. now the AL, our first
subma rine. was sent to Oyster Bay to
be inspected by President Roosevelt
during the summer Of 1905. Lieuten-
ant Evans. son of Fighting Bob"
was in command. The reporters at
Oyster Bay got word that the presi-
dent planned to make trip in the
Plungcr. The president denied most
emphatically that he had any such
Intention. But the reporters were in
strlcted by their newspapers to watch
the Plunger. They worked in relays,
and from early morning until dusk
patrollcd the bay and kept sharp
watch for visitors to the submarine
N.
Then came the day when the call OF
the girl took the young reporter off
to the city. The departure was fol-
lowed by cold rain, and the other
reporters sought to arrange an armis-
tice with the president. Barnes, the
presidents assistant secretary, after
communicating with Sycamore Hill,
assured the reporters that "the presi-
dent had not changed his mind about
going down in the Plunger, and that
he would not change it that day." So
the watch was abandoned.
The cold rain continued all day. A
10 o'clock train that night brought
the young. white duck clad, thorough
~ chilled reporter back to Oyster
way from the station to the telegraph
ONCE. There he found a member of
the Plunger crew entertaining the
bartender with the story of the presi-
dents trip in the submarine made
that day.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared he had en-
Dyed his trip immensely. He told a
P!unger by a school of porpoises,
which resented the invasion of their
submarine domain by this strange
steel monster
That trip fixed Colonel Roosevelt's
faith in the submarine. The naval
program of his administration there
after was responsible for the rapid
start in submarine building which to.
day finds us with twenty more boats
than Germany possessed at the be-
ginning of the war.
Six Of Germany's thirty one original
submarines are declared by naval ex-
perts to be entirely useless. and sew
