THE WILLIS ISSUES
cleveland Plain Dealer.D

cleveland Plain Doaler.t
Adherents Of the governor will find
small consolation in the results OF
Tuesdays ballot on state issues In
Ohio. II these results indicate any
thing for next year they constitute
a foreshadowing Of disaster for the
state administration.
The Sprague and McDermott acts
of the last session were strictly VIII
lis measures. The latter was put
through the legislature in the face Of
Republican indifference. The gov
,ernor made 1t almost personal iB-
sue againt a considerable volume OF
opinion among the members or his
own majority.
Both these acts repealed laws that
had been enacted by the preceding
assembly, with James NJ. Cox as gov
ernor. The earlier measures repre-
scented the Cox program. They were
repealed from partisan motives. The
acts which supplanted them were
fought and defended as partisan mea-
sures.
Thus upon two of the important
acts OF the Willis legislature the ad-
ministration has been reversed by
popular vote exactly one year from
the time 1t was voted into power. At
)ehis first opportunity majority OF
voters have registered their disap-
proyal of an important part of the
governors decentralization" pro-
gram.
One year from this week the ad-
ministration will again face the state
electorate. Not In part only but In full
the records of the general assembly
will be put to the test. Gov. willis
will be on the defensive. and will
stand or fall upon tho issue or what
he and the legislature have done or
failed to do during their two years
in office.
The legislative record cannot be
amended by the assembly between
now and then unless a special session
is called. BY the ,people II wai
amended IN couple OF significant
respects on Tuesday, Those who be
hieve that the best intereBtB Of the
state demand return TO the con
structive legislative and adminlsGa
tive program which was interrupted
s.u ha al ~ saIlI laL q
nge from Tuesdays vote. II indicates
"A rising popular resentment agains
the destructive policies happily term
I'D decentralization"

THIRTY SUBMARINES TRAPPED.

Tho New York Hcrad publishes the fol-
lowing telegram:-
"Great Britain is not publishing Ill her
exploits against the German submarines"
Thus spoke a captain who arrived there
recently. He tsnid that six weeks ago, when
he WIS st Dover, there were 30 German sub
3nAIInes IA the harbour, which were victims
OF the vast system of nets spread from one
extremity Of the English Channel to the 9TH
a.. He added that he had heard other
captains say Tint in some Of the other South
of England ports Ihere were Is more cap
tnred submarines. Il is owing TO the vigi-
lance of a small fleet of motor boats that on
~ Il few of the large British steamers meet
the submarines which infHst the ordinary
maritime tracks. These small craft, C0n-
structed TO resemble life-bOuts, ara armed
with u small torpedo tube. They carry +
torped0es, according to the capt ,iu, aud nre
fitted as $ Ilers, their mlsts being used for
wireless telography. This "mosquito fleet
patrols the channel and signals to vessels
the course they should take. When one Of
these boats meets il submarine it sends out
"a signal of distress to deceive it, dischargIuR
meanwhile, u torpedo ut the submerged
shell. The same Herdjd published u short
time ago u diagram and an article describing
the system of nets which Great Britain en-
ploya to trap and capture enemy submarines.
It's not known whether any effective use
has been nude Of the torpedo, but, tho prin-
cipal service rendered by these boats is the
transmission of news to the various Eng
fish merchant vessels. Scarcely any news
is published about the results OF tho seoper-
atious, bat the truth is that very little is an
nouueed about any Of the naval or military
operations.-M Ul4j0erSu5, Catsc4s, IN

Washington, Aug, 23.-The port Of Arch

partment Of Commerce, by cable today from
Henry D.. Baker, the United States CONNER
Ciul Attucbe at Petrograu, who mas Just Wis.,
tied ArchanSel, says that the place now ranks
with New York, in the amount of It's shipping
and that rs many vessels arrive and clear
there az at New York.
La the present open season more than one
hundred warehouses have been built and
thirty piers have been constructed. Four
floating cranes of the largest size have been
imported and the port is now handling the
bulk Of the cNrgoes arriving TOR the Govern
ment with reasonable ]promptness. Private
freight, however, stilI stuff rs.
The Red Cross has an immense stock of
supplies housed there which arrived enrly
Inst Fall, and it is impossible now to say
when any part of it will be moved to ths
interior. Mr.. Baker says that half of the
American cotton Accumulated at ArchAngol
has been transported to the mills in the
interior. Porro5rtl and Meow are points
most easily reached from ArchAnysl with
bulky freight, rs it can proceed on btrge4

Mr.. Baker advises nII A uerlc4n shippers
