German Submarines Will Force
End of War, Says Inventor Lake

Bridgeport, Conn, May 11.-Gernan submarines such as sank
the Lusitania are going to end this war by stopping Englands COM
merce,' declared Simon Lake, inventor and builder of submarines,
whose plans are followed in nj any of the big German craft today.
81 am advised that they ar building $50 more submarines, and
they have the shipyard facii.i es to do it. Admiral Won Tirpitz said
that he would blockade the Br itsh coast with submarines. l think
he can make his threat good.
"There is no war possible between submarines. They might pass
within ten, feet of each other and never know it; consequently, Eng
lands 100 submarines, Frances 100 and Russias 20 can do little or
nothing toward keeping commerce open for England.
1T is entirely impossible for a submarine commander to give
warning to a vessel he is about to attack. TO do so he would have
to appear in the open, and a rifle from any portfolio of a vessel like
the Lusitania would not only kill him, but put his vessel out of com.
mission. A submarine on the surface is of no less use than a steam
launch" ~ a

Cincinnati Preie Presse: The part
of the note dealing with the loss OF
lives in the Lusitania catastrophe
more properly ought to have been d.
rected to London. England alone is
responsible for the Lusitania's destruc-
ton through her brutal threat to
starve a nation. Germany cannot stop
the under.sea warfare without sur
rendering herself, bound hand and foot
to a brutal enemy. We are not obliged
and have no right to set up ourselves
as the protectors of British shipping.

WAR DANCERS.

Is Theodore Roosevelt 4isa Tepeatlnl
the performance that he contributed
toward the agitation preceding the
Spanish-American war. His blustel
and defiance are ill-timed just now
The Wilson administration losses its
political significance in a crisis like
this. Men of all parties are coming tt
his aid in, solving the present Difficult
ty, not for the best interests of the
Democrats and Republicans, but fol
the welfare of the entire nation
which always m first.
Although the Wilson note contrib
utes nothing new to the controversy
it indicates that the administrator!
has not been influenced by the lingo
ism of the last week. While there Is
| considerable regret that Presiden

a more vigorous stand earlier in thu

Nothing has been done as yet tina

Teddy's war dancing on the sid:
lines appears mighty like a cheap at
tempt to foster his political ambi
tons. The soft pedal, not the big
stick, is needed. Abuse and unfai'
criticism are not patriotic at a tins
like this. Restraint and composur'
are more essential than an excess o
steam.
1t is not because this nation i
afraid to go to war that caution i
urged. How would war mitigate TIN
sinking of the Lusitania? The vocit
erous Teddy has failed to tell us.
One cannot but contrast the de
meanor of such men as Root and Tai
with that of former President Roose
welt. The colonel is using the weap
ons of a politician. His statement
are destructive. Taft and Root hav'
refrained from violent statements
combining their remarks to the logi
of the situation. Like true Amer
cans they have offered assistance il

not criticism. They have been grea
enough to rise above party consider

Bismarck should support the move

There is a close relation between
juvenile delinquency and the regula-
