In surveying the fortunes OF Ger
man arms in the past year IL was
msnifestiy impossible fer the most
sanguine patriot te make it appear by
any means that the exploits and ao-
tual achievements at sea were as
gratifying and reassuring to the Ger
man nation as those on land. Cap
tain Persius, enc Of the sobereEt and
most trustworthy of the German ma
vel ehronlolers, has presented the
present state OF affairs In as favorable
D light as Il Will bear, but when we
compare his review of the years
events with the extrayagant predic-
lions that were current in the early
months of war It IS plain that the
German populaoe, misled by indiscreet
enthusiasts and with little knowledge
of naval warfare. must today DO suf-
forinR under sore establishment.
There are perhaps not many Ger
man critics 80 genuinely simple as
our own Herr Riddor, yet the widest

A naval man himself, he is clearly
aware Of the relative failure OF Ger
many's naval policy 80 far He points
out that the enormous superiority Of
the fleets opposing Germany deter
mined the principle Of keeping bat
tleships in harbor while attempting
to weaken the enemy through minor
warfare, particularly with submarines
and mines TO a point where the attack
on the main fleet will offer some pros
pect Of success" II is amusing TO see
him pass over the consequences with
the observation that in the first twelve
months ut has been possible sorely
TO wound the British fleet"
This is indeed the very utmost that
can be said. for Captain Persius Is
of course aware that the British fleet,
with all allowance for losses, is at
least as powerful as il was when the
war began and that the odds against
the German feet are now greater
than ever Nine months ago the in
genious Herr Ridder thought il rea-
sonable on the strength of a few sub
marine successes to anticipate that
the fleets would meet on equal terms
before the end of the year 1915" How
very unlikely such an event appears
today!
AS to the submarine warfare on
commerce Captain Persius speaks
With exemplary reserve He cannot
fail to see that in comparison with
the complete extinction of German
maritime commerce the amount of
damage done by the U-boats is trifing,
so he contents himself with specula-
tons on the psychological effect, and
he consoles his readers with the re-
Election that "the submarine danger
unquestionably weighs like a night
mare upon the inhabitants Of the sea-
washed land and that though
views may differ as to the final out

he Georpetown Journal.

From the Georgetown Journal.
If there is anything that should be
attended TO by the Levy Court, it is the
selection of Trustees of the Poor for
those districts where there are vacancies.
The attention of the body has been
called from time to time by the residents
of the county to the need of filling this
petty district Office, but it seems that
for mere partisan purposes the Levy
Courtmen turn a deaf ear.
II has. been about eighteen years since
the Democrats have had a representa-
tative i'm the Board OF Trustees and IL
seems that the Republicans, if possible,
are determined that no man of the op-
posite political faith shall have a seat
in that body.
They have been building upon the fill
ing of the vacancies Just as they did on
the selection of constables, and the PEG
pie of the county can see no motive
other than fol- partisan purposes.
Are the Republicans afraid that if a
Democrat is elected that some crooked
work-if any has been going on-will
be exposed?
That an investigation is needed is evil
dent for il would seem that the farm Is
far from being self-supporting, Judging
by the appropriations that are asked for
from the Levy Court each year by the
superintendents.
No accusation is made that graft has
been INDUCED in by any Of the super
intendents, but TO the people of the
county IL would seem that under proper
management Of affairs that the farm

THE Secretaries o. War and the Navy with their
advisers are working a belated military pro-
gram which il is estimated in quarters. may
call for appropriations amounting to s5O0,OOO0OO.
The gravity of the German situation, the increase
OF anarchy in Mexico and the general criticism of the
Nations lack Of military preparedness have combined
something should be done and now, at the eleventh
hour Mr. Wilson is preparing to recommend a some
what comprehensive program to Congress. There is
every to fear. however that If Congress heeds
this proposal great will be wasted
When President Wilson, by the exerton Of his per-
sonal influence with Congress. defeated the Gardner
resolution calling for a thorough investigation of the
military needs of the Nation he deprived himself and
Congress- and the public of the most available method
learning the needs of the country in advance of the
expenditure OF funds Of emphasizing certain abuses
some them long standing which operate seriously
10 diminish the efficiency Of the military establish
ment and Of acquiring information essential to the in

Of course one Of the why the President
YVES so opposed 10 the Gardner resolution his
conviction that IT would serve in large measure to
show the worse than inefficient administration the
navy was receiving at hands OF Secretary Daniels
Moreover such an investigation inelgently conducted

But Mr. Wilson's Southern friends wanted such
