themselves destitute and they will
have only the western world toward
which to turn for succor.
Now is the time for farmers to be
rolling up their sleeves and making
preparations for the biggest and
hardest years work they ever did,
for there is money in it this year
such as there never has been before.
With half the men Of the world at

food for the entire globe, and with
the shortage in food, prices will be
enormous. Go to it Mr.. Farmer,
and win your share of the harvest

couraged over the failure of the
Zeppelin raids. while in the SUBJ
marine warfare the great number of
vessels that have sailed bravely out
Of home waters, never to be seen or
heard from again, has impressed the
naval men and the public, 80 far as
the German public knows the facts,
with a nerve-racking horror of the
whole business. There will be in
ternational regulations of the use of
air and underwater craft some day,
but meantime they are really serv-
ing the allies a good purpose. They
are not crushing the allies, are not
starving England, are not terroris.
ing it. They are merely giving an
exhibition of bestial viciousness that
nerves up the enemies of Germany
to the last effort at forcing an issue
which shall make it possible forever
to curb such excesses.

Sl0NS IN THE PARK

Rock Creek Park ought to be the
summer play spot Of Washington.
Many ways have been suggested of
making it more accessible. Most of
these are expensive.
But there is one simple and mex
pensive way in which Rock Creek
Park could be made much more con.
venlent for motorists and pedes-
trians who use it. That is a system
OF signs at cross roads.
The roads through the park wind
and turn in manner that is pictur-
esque but highly confusing. Those
who enter the park and do not know
their way around have little choice
but to travel homeward over the
same route by which they entered.
Such signs will be found in Fair
mont Park, in Philadelphia; small
maps of the entire park are posted
at cross roads in the Middlesex
Falls, in Boston. Such an arrange
ment in Rock Creek Park would be
especially helpful to those who try
to walk in the park, because pedes-
trians have not always the time or
strength to explore a road for a mile
or more, only to find it offers no exit.
The Washington times., 1915-08-11
THE ZEPPELIN WARFARE

The latest raid of Zeppelins
against the British coast claimed
casualties aggregating one man,
nine women, and four children
killed; five men, seven, women, and
two children injured. One Zeppelin
was injured, and from Ostend comes
the report that she was completely
destroyed there, probably with the
loss of her entire crew.
The senseless inhumanity of this
kind Of warfare is again demon
strated. 1t has produced at no time
any military results of the slightest
Importance. Even the most bitter
advocate of the rule that universal
destruction is the most humane way,
in the long run, to conduct warfare
would be compelled to admit that
the cost Of taking life in this way
is too great. Germany has invested
heavily in her Zeppelin horror, and
the bald truth is that she has not
got returns on the investment.
1t is precisely the same way with
the submarines. No doubt can be
entertained of the efficacy of the un-
dersea craft in open naval warfare; !;
but the German campaign to block
ade and starve England by running
amuck among merchant ships and
|non-combatant lives has failed. For
several weeks private report has
been coming from Europe concern
ing the immense losses that the sub
marine warfare has inflicted. 1t is
declared that as many as fifty of
these craft, some of them being Of
the fastest and most powerful types,
have been destroyed or captured.
The British censorship has shut
down tight on details with regard
to the methods of fighting off the
submarines; but it is declared in pri-
vate letters that nets and like de-
vices have been used to trap the
boats, after which they are de-
stroyed at leisure and their crews
left to drown like rats; also that a
great flotilla of very fast motor
boats have been used to scour the
infested seas and run down or bonn
bard the submarines whenever a
periscope is seen.
1t is very manifest now that Ger,
many's method of carrying on wan
under the sea and in the air is cost
ing her heavily in standing with the
public opinion of the world. He,
submarine activities have been di.
rected against neutrals as we'll as
combatants; hardly a day passes or
which the bag of submarine victims
does not include vessels of the Scan,
dinavian countries and Holland.
There have been reports that the
German military authorities are dis,

THE cARRANZA MENACE

The United States has tsrdily or
dered increase of its naval force at
Vera Cruz. Whether, in its Mexi-
can policy, it will again prove to
have marched up the hill for the
sake Of the pleasant privilege of
marching down again, we can only
guess from circumstances of today,
and the performance of the past in
that quarter.
One thing is certain. The time
has come when Carranza ought to be
treated as Huerta was. He is a
more dangerous figure, from the
standpoint Of the United States, for
he has enough support, enough re-
spectability, enough confidence and
following among people outside
Mexico, to make him a sinister fac
tor. The United States Government
knows very we'll why he must be
driven from position and power, for
it knows how utterly impossible is
the effort to reason with him. What
ever sentiment there is in this coun.
try in favor of him would be dissi-
pated if all the facts concerning
Washington's negotiations with him
were given publicity.
Carranza may or may not be
worse than the other military lead
ers; but at this time he occupies
such a position that he is easily the
most menacing Of them. He must
be put out Of business before there
will be even a chance to compose
affairs in Mexico. For the second
time this Government is sending a
naval expedition of respectable force
to Vera Cruz. The move will be a
mistake if it shall be followed by no
effective steps to assert the author
ity of this nation. To repeat the
weak performance of the former ex-
pedition would merely add to the
prestige of Carranza with the Mexi-
can people and increase the chance
that he may prolong his career as an
arch-disturber.
Mexico cannot safely be left as a
sore spot on this continent during a
time when the whole international
situation is as grave as it is today
There is need for a prompt cleaning
up. The opposing Mexican factions
are so closely matched that the
weight Of United States authority
could readily be made decisive. Tc
wait is to invite situation in which
Mexico will be harder to handle, and
the demands on us may be impera.
tive at a time when they can least
conveniently be met.
The Washington times., 1915-08-11
THE FRYE CASE BACKDOWN

Our State Department has backed
down from the position it undertook
to maintain in the Frye case. This
was nothing more nor less than
proposition that, because the Ger
man government had bound itself in
a special treaty with the United
States not to destroy American
property on the seas, German war
vessels were thereby obligated not
to stop contraband in American bot
toms from reaching an enemy, al
though this is fundamental right
of every power at war.
If the American position could be
upheld, submarine could not pos
sibly perform the long and laborious
work of removing a cargo of arms
and ammunition from a ship de-
tained in waters thick with the war
vessels of the allies ready to come
down upon the submarine thus en-
gagged at all hours of the day or
night.
But the worst of this doctrine was
that if any such thing could tie Ger
many hand and foot under the
treaty it must, under the same
treaty, tie the United States. If
Germany at war with Great Britain
were treaty bound, in effect, not to
prevent arms and ammunition from
reaching England in American bot
toms, then it must follow that if the
United States and Great Britain
were at war this country would be
similarly restrained from intercept
ing arms and ammunition carried in
German bottoms to a British desti-
nation for use against us.
We say that our State Department
has now changed front, because it
is semi officially announced that
while our Government, in the an
swer it has sent to Berlin, does not
agree with the Berlin foreign offices
reading of the treaty of 1928. snd

THE SUMMER SCHOOLS

The success Of the summer coach
ing Of pupils in connection with the
school Fairgrounds was such that
Superintendent Thurston is contem-
plating extending the summer school
materially next year. The tax
payers should insist upon such an
extension, even if the Education
Board does not, because it saves
them money.
The average per capita cost of
educating a child, for one year, in
Washington, according to the latest
available computation, is $46.3O. AS
a result Of the coaching done on the
Fairgrounds about $50 pupils, it is
estimated, will go on with their
classes instead of being kept back a
year. That means the school attend
ance of these pupils will be one year
less, and right there a potential saw
ing of $6,945 is effected.
This computation puts the oues-
ton on simply a monetary basis.
The value of summer schools would
be much greater to the individuals
and to the community than can be
computed. New York long has rec
ognized that fact, though difficulty
was encountered when the school au.
thorities there tried to make the
teachers do the extra work for moth
ing.
Washington school teachers have
been found to be a public-spirited
group of workers. Many might vol.
unteer for such summer work for q
few years if a demonstration of its
advantages were necessary before
an appropriation could be had. AT
any rate, after the appropriations
were gained, many of them would
greatly prefer doing such work to
spending the long vacation now af.
forded them in idleness. There is a
growing suspicion that the long va,
cations now given in the schools arc
about as bad for teachers as fo,
pupils.
