Is Won Tirpitz to Coz

report from Berlin indicates that Admiral
Won Tirpitz is to be retired from his place az
the head OF the German navy. II this be true
it is assuredly a result of the changed attitude
of the imperial German government with rela-
ton to its naval policy. Won Tirpitz has been
listed as a champion OF the subsea warfare that
has brought Germany and the United States so
close to the breaking point His order estab-
lished the war zone in which the U-boats
operated and as minister and admiral OF the
navy, he assumed responsibility for their move
ments.
Recent successes on land have so strength
ened the German position as to make possible
some modification OF It's outside policy and the
abandonment of the Objectionable features OF
submarine attack will not seriously interfere
eminent. Here is another point on which the
Germans have outmaneuvered the Allies While
Great Britain is yet hating over the simple mat
ter OF permitting the unobstructed passage OF
goods actually owned in the United States and
grudgingly giving assent to even that small
measure OF freedom OF the seas, the Germans
find themselves able to concede the utmost point
contended for by the American government and
to do It in such way as more than ever fixes
the friendly relations between the two countries
In meeting the demands OF the president, the
kaiser has shown himself as good a diplomat as
he is a military tactician.
The attitude OF the United States as to the
rights of neutrals on the high seas is unchanged,
end its position is greatly strengthened by the
developments Of the last few days

Timing the Telephone
-- Literary Digest

meter some oppose franticaly but vainly' the
meter In the taxicab drives us mad ticks off the
miles; and now even to talk by meter! or
course every telephone central office has some de-
vice for regulating and controlling time calls The
meter now perfected is claimed TO be accurate that
It can replace the costly devices so simple
and Inexpensive that the individual user can avail
himself OF It and thus CHECK up the company.
Increased efficiency" says contributor to Tele-
phony, has come to be pretty much the secret OF
increased subscribers lists increased revenue and
increased cordiale the business OF telephony gen.
orally. Nowhere along the line. however, has the
oordale been often more sorely strained than
through inefficient inadequate or careless timing OF
toll calls.
Particularly is this in smaller offices where
the elaborate and necessarily expensive apparatus for
timing calls has been too costly for installation and
dependence has been placed upon ordinary clocks
which are, of course, unsatisfactory to the COM
pany itself as to the telephone toll user.
The Graves phone meter. II is claimed. has com.
pletely solved the small office timing problem and
in larger offices II is already proving OF great value
in timing the handling OF calls the observation
desks. This device has been tried by q number of
independent and Bell companies and has proved sat
tsfactory for timing toll calls
The phone meter registers up TO Elk minutes I'm

starts the meter to record by moving right the
lever at the top. Moving in the reverse direction
stops the indicator Instantly showing the time

simpler Auto Numbers Needed.
OMAHA. Sept. 2.--To the Editor of The
Bee: Since so many automobile accidents
happen in which the drivers of them get
away before the license number Of the
auto can be ascertained, there should
be some method of numbering them that
could be read before they get beyond
the possibility of reading number which
contains five figures.
This suggestion is offered; To start on,
the first license could be Al the sec
ond, Az; the third. A-S, and so con-
tinue until not more than two figures
are used, then use the second letter of
the alphabet the same way. and so ON
II this method does not furnish enough
Tor the number OF autos perhaps some
genius car devise some symbols that
can be used when the alphabet Is ex-
hausted. q a
