Neglect of Agricultural and Industrial

There never was a time in the his.

statesmen more or agitators less than

sea demand the best there Is In state.
craft and the possibilities that are con.
fronting us call for national issues
fhat unite the people, build industry
and expand trade. The agriculture
and industrial development OF this
nation has suffered severely at the
hands OF agitators who have sent
torpedoes crashing into the port side
# business and whose neglect OF the
Interests of the farmer makes them
little less than political criminals. We
want no more of these evil spirits to
predominant in government. Too long
their hysterical cry has sent a shiveT
down the spinal column of industry.
Too long have the political agitators
capitalized strife. pillaged progress
and murdered opportunity. An indus.

LONE SUBMARINE
 WORKS HAVOC
 IN BRITISH FLEET

Berlin, Nov. 3-The Tages .Zeitung pu blishes additional details concern ing the voyage from Germany to the Dardane1les last spring of the sub marine U-51, under command of Cap tain Hersing. Quoting from this ar tic1e the Overseas News Agency says: N
 ''In addition to sinking the British battleships Triumph and Majestic, the submarine during the voyage sank several trading ships. Among them was the John Hardie.
 This steamship was sunk after the crew had left. When the submarine fired the first shot, one Hindu was ob- served, still on board. Then it was perceived that he was dragging an- other Hindu whose feet were fettered. Both Hindus were saved by the Ger mans. This is another example of British treatment of Hindus, after the principle that the best Hindu is a dead Hindu"
 Maritime records contain the name of only one British steamship John Hardie. This vessel, so far as is known, is still afioat. She left Port Said on August 24 for Clyde. The U-51 arrived at the Dardanelles on May 25.
