cent battles, two American soldiers, two American

within the borders of the United States. Three

eminent

JINGLE SAM has announced the appearance
- of his 1915 submarine. To put the matter
that way, whereby there is implication that
models for submarines change from year to year
is literally exact, says the Portland Telegram,
for it is the fact that the automobile and the sub
marine have practically developed together.
Less than fifteen years ago test of one
hundred miles would have been considered as
about the limit for the best automobile built
whereas today the covering of that distance by
almost any car would be considered part of the
days work. So the cruising radius of the early
Honolulu, which was the 1907 model is not to be
compared with that of the boats now built And
it may be said in passing that all glory for capa-
bility in this direction does not 60 to the German
builders either; for the k-type Of boat now being
built in the United States, the latest model with
guns mounted, has cruising radius of nearly
GOC0 miles
The letter indication OF submarines is sgnifi-
cant in that it denotes the sequence of the model
by which we may know that the X boat is ive
times removed in improvement from the F model
OF 1907. That means the building OF FIVE con-
Stantly improved models in period of eight
years 1t is safe to say that the development of
the submarine to its ultimate defensive and often
sive power has just begun, and that in the produc
ton of the most effective models Uncle Sam will
be no whit behind other builders.

Is Wilson Alone Riaht?

DRESIDENT WILSON should remember the

land Qregonian. He undertook to bull things
through" congress, and though he succeeded there,
he split his party and Sentenced it TO twenty years
pureatory hinder Bryans leadership Mr.. Wilson

but his party Is Verylikely to split on the ques-
lion, and both he and his party viii surely be
punished for the hasco which will as surely fol-
low There is no escape for President and
party which gotdirectly counter to public opinion.
That public opinion is opposed to the Ship Pur-
chase Bill is proved by the overwhelming adverse
vote Of the Chambers Of Commerce Of the United
States. These bodies are no mere handfuls Of
leaders in business They are composed Of the
great body of business of their respective COM
munities, as is the Portland Chamber with nearly
5000 members These men areAof all parties. There
is among them doubtless as large proportion of
Democrats as there is among the population at
large. These Democratic business men would
naturally incline to support ameasure fathered by
the leader of their party Their business sense,
applied to public affairs compels them to oppose
that measure, 'v
Do the President and the secretary Of the treas
ury presume to say that they right and that
the composite business sense of the country is
wrong? Are they the repositories of all the wis
dom in the country? The political support which
they have received in congress has no significance
as guide to the public judgement. for it comes,
from the thick and thin supporters of the Admin
istration. A safer guide the opposition of those
independent Democrats who refuse to be blinded
to the inherent folly of ship-purchase and whose
judgement cannot be swayed nor their voices

Those Who Are Honored

IL war, When there Is no war they are greater
than any other Reconsideration, Says the Cleveland
Plain Dealers. t ~ ~

gency wagon dashes through the city streets 1t

excuse for infringement Of statute or ordinance.

dangered r.ET G...'. I
But what is life or death in war? Normal and
substantial values are forgotten, The individual
is nothing. This or that great scientist poet
sportsman or mechanical expert may be killed, and
ne is reckoned only as insignificant unit of a
vast whole He counts more than any other
human target, The, philosopher is of no more
value than the Stun loaier. Both carry guns
equally well, both offer equal targets for the
enemy's marksmen& .%o@ r"4l.,,
This absolute equality between the living and
the dead is forcefully illustrated by the honor list
given out from time to time by the British news
papers. German and French newspapers doubtless
give out similar lists, but they are not available
The British list makes no distinction between the
living and the dead A man who has braved great
peril is rewarded That he may be in an unmark-
ed grave in distant land is matter of no conse-
quence. His honors then go to his heirs. If he
chances to be alive after his herosm he is paraded

dead one, War, alone, fails to recognize the dis
tnction. War is, therefore, not of the twentieth
century. 1t is reerudescense of barbarism, hor-
ror that exists only because the. world has lost

Second Panel Fails To Agree On
Charge Of Breaking
Traffic Law

Henry Aki was discharged last
night by Judge Ashford, two jury dis
agreements in week 5 time operating
as an acquittal in his case. Aki had
been charged and tried for violating a
section of one of the city traffic Ordi-
nances. He was accused of having re-
fused to give another vehicle driver
the right of way.
In the first case the jury was out
about seven hours, while in yesterday 5
trial the jurors wrestled for six hours
and finally gave up all attempts at
agreeing and reported a mistrial. The
jury had been out only a few minutes
yesterday when it sent in word by
Clerk Cullen that it cOnld not agree.
''Tell that jury" Judge Ashford di.
