upon the words used either deliber.
ately or In h~ysterical haste was quite
natural. the statement of Admiral
BEHNCKE to the American naval Mt.
tache at Berlin on Tuesday should
reassure neutrals who feared that the
German naval officers would take no
great pains to distinguish between an
enemy and n neutral ship before
launching their t%orpedoes. Com
handing officers of submarine boats"
says Admiral BFHNCKE, have re.
ceived orders to make every effort 10
safeguard neutrals." That was to he
expected. There was never any 90.
casion for panic.
We do not believe that the Germans
in their new campaign against the
cneny's shipping. which no doubt will
be as vigorous MS IL can be made by
the limited number of submarines Of
large radius available. have any in
tcntion of destroying the lives OF non.
combatant crews as well as ships.
Merchant vessels that show ight can
Of curse he sunk in%stanter. That Is
International law. Admiral BruNCKr's
: formation that British merchant YES.
sells have been armed to attack sub.
marines probably had no more ba sis
than Il report that guns had been put
on steam trawlers so that they could
fire on submarines. Such craft would
b" combatants and assume the risks
o. war. But private merchant ships
are not sailed to fight. and unless such
vessels have great speed the German
submarines will have no difficulty. and
run no risk, in sending them to the
bottom.
The seas around Great Britain anil
Ireland have been a war zone rs
between Germany and her enemies
ever since the war began. German
submarines have sunk as many pri.
vate ships as could he t~orpe-ioei. The
warfare" will go on re~lentlessly. per.
haps with more success. possibly with
less. Conditions, of course. do not
permit OF sending ships to the prize
court. 1t Is quite likely that the Brit
ish navy. having made special prep.
arations to hunt down the enemy's
submarines in the war zone" will be
found more formidable than In the
past. But while neutral ships may
elect to avoid the Channel and the
Irish Sea. we believe that those going
on their way as usual will be safe
under their WI flags from German
torpedoeS.

What Is the Department Of Agricul-
ture Good For, Anyhow?

Congress appropriated S19,S65 $50
for the Department of Agriculture
for the year l914-15, or about 81 .oou.-
900 more than was allowed for 1913.
II. II Is a respectable sum. even as
Government expenditures 90. Yet it
is not enough 10 enable the Depart.
ment to perform the common and es-
sential duty Of gathering, compiling
and distributing accurate crop statis-
ties. We know this, because n citizen
Of this town propounded I the De-
partment these questions:
How much OF our wheat supply are
the producers still holding?
How much OF our wheat supply is
now in the elevators?
rs the wheat moving from producer
to elevator and from the elevator to the
market?
Are the producers shipping into the
elevators?
what percentage OF our surplus has
already been shipped abroad"
These are simple, straightforward
and ineligible queries which the De
pArtment should be able 10 answer
Immediately and satisfactorily. But
ii was not in a position 50 10 do. In
stead, the Department referred the
inquirer To the files of the DniIp Trdde
BulIetin. a privately owned and man
aged publication having its home IN
Chicago, and an Assistant Secretary
included in the reply figures quoted
from this unofficial authority!

Buying . Pig in . Poke.

Secretary MCADoo's letter TO Sena
tor FLETCHER is a complete and tnal
answer to the malicious rumors and
charges by hint and innuendo in re.
gard to his connection with the ship
purchase bill and in regard to all Of.
fers and options Of vessels OF bellig.
erents to the United States.
At the same time Mr.. McADoo de
clares ingenuously that the Govern.
ment has taken no steps whatever
TO ascertain what and how many
merchant ships can be bought should
this Benjamin of the Administration
become law.
Congress Is ordered by its com
mander in chief TO appropriate $IO,-
OOO,0O0 to buy a pig in a poke,
This proposal is worthy of the
mighty economist who thinks that the
American farmers and planters pay
the ocean freights.
Mr.. MCADoo's letter was not needed
to impress the country with his in
tecrity. or with the miscellaneous and
miraculous incompetence of this Adj
ministration.
