The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1915-03-26

ONE of the important questions
to be decided at the coming April
election is whether or not Van
Buren, county shall employ an
expert farm advisor Very little
interest seems to be manifested
in this all important question.
The True Northerner has heard
no opposition to the plan, and
yet there is no real healthy en-
thusiasm shown. BY all means
let's have the farm expert. Let
us profit by the experience Of
other counties. Nothing is too
good for Van Buren, county, and
it certainly would be great help
to the farmer. What helps the
farmer helps us all. Prosperity
for the farmer spells prosperity
for the masses. Wake up, every
body, and boost for the farm ad-
visGr. Don't let this important
question go by default

success AND FAILURE or SUBMARINES

It appears that the "Uboats" not all they've bee~ cracked up to be. Their tremendous offensive powe- is equalled by their own yulnerabrity With single welaimed torpedo submarine can sink cruiser or battleshp but on the other hand, single shot from smallbore gun will scGtte the submarine and send h to the bottom with all board. Recent events show that operate safely against large craft than against small torpedo boat, destroyer sea plane runs comparatively small risk from underwater attack, owing its speed mobility let the sub rise to the surface within gunshot these and about as chance of escape aa duck within range of shotgun. The mere exposure of the periscope above he water may be fatal
 Several German submarines have already been re ish commerce began. Obviously they have not accom- plshed what Germany expected of them. Their crown ing achievement thus the blockadng of th- Br sh Isles-in that task they have failed but tho torpedoing of British cruisers They have sunk moro cruisers than they have merchantmen. Their peculiar value consists in their power of sudden and deadly a tacks on such warshps rather than in their the enforcement of bockades
 They are particularly useful for defensive purposes as the British war fleet proves by its refusal to ven ure near the German naval bases. The large number of submarines authorized by the last congress are in tended for this very purpose Of the 26 that be built 23 are for coast defense three for distant cruising
