DEVEL LOPMENT OF SUBMARINE

The living quarters of the largest ves- sels are sufficiently commodious for fair degree of comfort, and the cooking. washing and toilet refuse can be dis charged in diluted form by force pumps. The range of the submarine is limited not So much to the capacity of the fuel tanks as by the endurance of the crew. If the weather is fine and the submarine can proceed, undetected, at the surface the cruise might extend to 1000 or 200O miles, without a return to port. In surface cruis- ing in rough weather. the watch is con tinually drenched, and the lack of means to dry the clothing and other discomforts would render an earlier return to port a phy sical necessity.
 The information which has come through regarding the naval operations in the North sea, gives reason to believe that the German submarines, in their search for their quarry, have made cruises of several hundred miles; for moreover, they have been reported as operating off the English and even the Scottish coasts. Their principal cruising ground, however, Is off their own coasts, where they go out and lay in wait for the cruisers and de- stroyers which are steaming to and fro off the mouths of the Elbe, the Weser and the Fines. A probable plan of oper- ations is for a submarine flotilla to pass out at night to selected positions on the eremy's patrol routes, submerge and await the coming of the enemy. If the subma- rine is discovered, it can Ego to sleep on the bottom until the search for its where- abouts has been given up.

Within the last few days 5000 cata-

McCreight. Honorable T. 3. Carroll,
Circuit Judge, succeeding Hon. T. c.

Hon B. F. Bell, county attorney, also

Of the Mississippi Agricultural and

such execution in strong terms, and

Stories of the War
ExiIes From Home.

Thirty-five thousand exiles from the occupied departments of the north of France have returned to their country by way of Germany and Switzerland during the past month. They are neither hostages nor civilian captives they are expelled from their homes by the Germans and a printed circular handed to each adult at the frontier gives the German view of the expul- sions as follows:
 This is why Germany finds her portation of a part of the civilian pop ulation residing in occupied French territory; France refuses oategorically to send food to it's citizens ,.
 In the last convoy that arrives at the SiWss frontier near Schaffhouse there were 7S men from 55 to 90 years old and 216 women and girls of all ages. There were also TIT children of whom 50 were under years old, many of them in the hands of strangers, having separated from all kith and kin. Most of the others in the convoy were also remnants of families that have been separated by the mobiliza- ton or scattered by the invasion. Their pinched and worn faces tell the story of many trials.
 The last train was AS hours on the road and the exiles were all this time left to their own resources for refresh ment.
 In different centers, these exiles re- port, the Germans are encouraging manufacturers to resume the opera ten of their work and are even re- pairing bombarded factories where re- pairs are possible. Where buildings have been ertiralY dastrnyed~ they arc

A TRADE SCHOOL IN CHINA.
Teaches Printing, Bookbinding and
 Stitching of Uniforms.

One-quarter of the great province of Shantung, whose name so frequently appear in telegraphic news from the Orient nowadays, is governed by the city of Tung chang flu. The miIi- tary, political and educational head quarters for the eight or nine million people in the district all center here, and the city is, therefore, an impor- tant religious center for work of the American Boards mission in Shantung. Rev. F. w. Ellis of the boards staff at Lintsingchow describes a recent weeks work in Tung chang flu, in the course of which he studied some of the higher schools which the new China is trying so hard to maintain. MT. Ellis says:
 The normal school is one of the four of highest rank in the province, and has an attendance of 160. The middle school has 130 and two other schools have a combined attendance of over 100. One of these is the indus trial school. Here from each of the 29 districts governed by the city five boys are allowed to come and study trade.
 ''The teaching includes Chinese printing, boOkmaking and the making of military uniforms-the stitching be- ing done on sewing machines. We also visited the industrial prison, where weaving and shoemaking were being carried on by the inmates
 This story represents a tremendous change in the educational ideals of China and in methods of treating pris- oners. No wonder an American pres ident of a Chinese college declared not long ago that living in China just now is like being in the transformat tions of an Arabian Nights story.

those who participated the plan might have been repeated at every favorable opportunity and the Jekyll and Hyde existence gone from bad to worse. Cor nered, it resulted in a clean breast of the whole affair. possibly in hopes of profting through the leniency of tue court.
 The sentence of seven and a half to fifteen years in Sing Sing which has just been imposed may seem se- were but it apparently indicates the belief of the court that there is need of furnishing substantial discourage ment for such practices. If the sen tence was a light one it, would be open to the interpretation that such crimes could be committed almost with impunity. It could be looked upon as an encouragement for others to do the same thing under the expectation that when they were caught they would be able to escape severe punishment. The court apparently took into considera- tion the fact that there are more con- eerned than the individual who con- fessed. In this case the fear of the penalty was obliterated by the esti- nation of shrewdness, and an example of the guilty one has been made for the benefit of others. Even the pris- oner realized he was deserving of no sympathy.

THE ToRPEooEp LusITANIA.

Greater attention is directed to the : torpedoing of the Lusitania because it is the first of the big liners to be sunk and because 1t is looked upon as a direct carrying out of the threat which was made in the German submarine policy and reiterated in the recent ad- vertisement of the German embassy warning people against taking pas sage on any vessels flying the flag of the belligerents, though from the man. ner in which the Gulflight was at tackled there would appear to be little respect for the flag of any country, whether belligerent or neutral.
 In no way can this policy be looked upon other than that of piracy. The sinking of merchant vessels which are unarmed has from the very first been the cause of vigorous protest, but this is not the only instance in which in fernationaI law has been ruthlessly disregarded. treaties violated and the nOn-combatants. men, women and chil- dren. been made to suffer. Germany has from the very first been insisting that it's demands. right or wrong. must De granted and it has stopped at noth- in% to accomplish it's purpose Hu- manity gets no consideration and such a spectacle as the torpedoing of a  passenger ship simply supports the other tales of German atrocities.
 The Lusitania is of course a British ship and British property, the sinking of which might be looked upon with less concern did it not carry over two thousand human beings, many of whom have lost their lives.
 The interest of this country lies in the fact that there were several hum dred Americans aboard and under the position which has been taken by this government they had a right to be there and as neutrals should have been protected. The death of any one of them is in no way justified by the embassy warning, and if it is found that American lives have been lost it presents. in the face of the other wan ton destruction of American property and lives, a serious situation. That Germany was assisted in the attack upon this steamship and American lives from this country may well be a subject for vigorous inquiry
