DEMONSTRATES U. s. coNTEN.
 TON.

Whatever it may be found are the true circumstances concerning the steamship Armenian, which was sunk by a German submarine off the Eng fish coast, as to whether 1t was char tered at the time by the British ad- miralty or whether the admiralty had cancelled its contract In that respect, there Is nevertheless in that case one of the best demonstrations of the fact that the submarine activities on the part of Germany will not be ended by showing the respect which is called for by international law and which this country is insisting upon in be- half of it's rights and humanity.
 Whether that was an admiralty vessel or not at the time 1t was sunk it is one instance where the subrna- rine proved what this country main- tains. It showed that it could stop a belligerent vessel carrying contra band and it indicated that an under
 sea vessel of the type of the U-39 is not a warship to be viewed with con- tempt, and even though the captain of the Armenian was willing to take chances with the lives of his crew by
 attempting to evade capture had he respected the challenge, the lives of the crew could have been saved and humanity respected. From all that
 can be learned the vessel was legiti-
 mate prey and the loss of life appears to be as chargeable to its comman- der as to the submarine. It shows
 however that there is no necessity for the sinking of steamships withou, warning and even though there may
 be risk by exposure of the subma-
 rine no side in the war can be expect ed to receive immunity from risk at the expense of humanity.

Frenoh,s solieitude For Men

Sir John French's solicitude for his men Is illustrated in a story sent from the front by a correspondent with the British army. During surprise visit behind the firing line the British com mander-in- chief came upon boy Ter ritoriaI who was writing a. letter. Sir John was surprised to note that the boy was sobbing bitterly as he wrote and inquired as to the cause.
 The lad, taken unawares, stammer- ed out some sort of excuse, but the commander eIicited the information that the young soldier had just re- ceived a letter from home, telling of the death of his mother following re- ceipt of an incorrect report that her son had been killed at the front.
 General French, deeply moved, sent the boy home on three weeks leave, and gave him a substantial sum to help defray the funeral expenses. "At any rate" he remarked as he bade the boy god-speed, your mother died in the happy belief that her son did his duty noblyi''

MUCH FOR CONGRESS TO DO.

What congress will do when it Is convened again is a big uncertainty. That there will be a special session is among the possibilities but there is no question but what there will be plen- ty to discuss and wrangle about when 1t does get together. It will be a new congress and it will have chance to profit by the mistakes of it's predeces- : sor.
 With financial conditions as they are it is certain that the war; tax will be renewed upon it's expiration the first of the year, and in view of the fact that 1t has failed to produce revenue in sufficient amount to pre- vent a deficit an effort may be made by the administration to increase it.
 The operations of the Underwood tariff bill have been such as to show many Shortcomings. It has brought about large treasury deficit for the year with a sti1l greater decrease to follow next May when the. tariff on sugar it removed entirely. Inasnnuch as the democrats have converted the $73.000, 900 which the republicans left in the treasury into a deficit of $35,- 100000 and when sugar becomes free it means the wiping out of $60, ,o00, ,00o In revenue there appears to be plenty of food for consideration.
 Developments of such nature have taken place that there is likely to be some destructive if not constructive legislation. The unwise legislation has not been confined solely to mat ters which concern finances. The de- mand for the repeal of the seamen's law. or those portions which are det- rirnentaI to the interests of the coun- try, is increasing daily. It win take an extra session to stop that but whether in extra or regular session congress is going to have plenty on It's hands.

Not only has the aeropIane proved itself an imperative necessity in the military resources of every modern nation. but 1t has demonstrated as well that it is on the road to commer- cial practicability and regular usage in times of peace. In fact the grad ua1 elimination of danger by the per lection of various safety devices will ultimately-in the not distant future make the aeroplane as safe. or safer than the automobile, and more reli- able. Another member of the Lake family, Christopher J. Lake, has pointed out some of the possibilities for Bridgeport in the development of the aeroplane industry-a develop ment as certain as fate.

Havoc to turks Chips.

The Daily Chronicle of London pub fishes the following account, by one of the crew, of the exploits of the British submarine Ell in raids on mora, for which Lieutenant Com mander Nasmith received the Vic- toria Cross and each of his men the Distinguished Service medal:
 We left Imbros one morning about
 o'clock, started toward the Darda- nelles and dived as day was breaking, and-well, got through the Narrows
 O. K, arrived on the other side and saw two batt1eships. We were getting ready to torpedo one of 'em when they spotted us. opened fire on us and nipped. bunked and ran away. We journeyed on for a mile or two and then went to the bottom and rest
 ed until about p. m., when we came up. It was dusk so we looked around. Nothing in sight. We broke the sur face and entered the Sea of Marmora and bumped around for a few days morning, when we were diving out side of Constantinople, and saw big gunboat. At 6.25 a. m.~ We gave her a tin fish. By 6:30 a. m- she was no more: but before she sank. while she was listing over, they opened fire on us. The second shot hit our peri scope and done it in That gunner must have been a cool card, eh?
 "On Monday we sighted a steamer, came to the surface along side her and told her to stop. She stopped and the men were so anxious to get were lost. There was a Yankee cor respondent aboard who tried to bluff, no good, though, cause an officer and two men boarded her and discovered she had a six-inch gun, several gun mountings, and f1fteen-inch ammuni- ton aboard. So we blew her up.
 "A few minutes after we sighted another steamer and told her to stop. She wouldn't. We chased her into the harbor. and when she was secur- ing alongside pier we torpedoed her. Soon afterward we sighted another steamer and chased her till she ran ashore. We were about to board her when some cavalry came up and opened fire We replied and dropped a few, and then dtyed and torpedoed
 the ship.
 Next day, Tuesday, our skipper de- eided on entering Constantinople. To
 make a long story short. we got into the harbor without mishap and fired two torpedoes, one of which sank a transport loaded with troops. and the other exploded on shore somewhere.
 We learned afterward that 1t caused some panic. The troops refused to go on another transport, the shops closed
 and people ran up the hills-in fact, ii caused uproar for a time
 The following Friday morning we saw five transports escorted by de-
 stroyers We banged the first and
 biggest one, which sank in about three
 minutes.
 "A few days later we went back to our old corner. where we sank those other three, and caught a supply ship mapping
 "A few days afterward we torpedoed
 a German transport, and then we got
 no more blood for a time until last
 Monday morning. on our way back
 just before entering the Narrows, when we sanksanother transport Thhat wa.e our farewell smack.

GOVERNMENT METHODS.

It is possible that Postmaster Gen. eral BurIeson may be delighted with the financial report of his department which shows a deficit of SIG, 1000, 900
 for the year but 1t will not get the same kind of an approval from the country. Mir Burleson may be pleased because he didn't get it into the hole any more, which in way may be looked upon as cause for
 thanksgiving but in view of the cur tailments and economies that have been practiced which have had their effect upon the service rendered to the public the showing is not an es-
 pecially happy one for the man who
 pays.
 What the revelation would be if
 the government took into account the interest charges upon the investments which have been made for the post
 office department can be imagined.
 but government business Is run on a different basis than a private corpora
 tion, for while the business man must
 take into consideration the capital which he employs, the government departments pay no attention thereto. Thus the postoffice department even failed to show as good management
 as the Panama canal for the latter showed a quarter of million excess of receipts over expenditures, but in neither case, even with the ten mil- lion dollar deficit by the postoffice de- partment was there included any in- terest charges. It would not require long for it to be thoroughly demon strated to a person starting a new business that he could not survive a
 great while if he conducted the fin- .ancial end of 1t on the plan Of the government Fortunately the govern
 ment doesn't have to worry.

STORIES OF THE WAR

 When we entered the harbor it was dark. Had it been daylight the Ad- miral would have made us steam round the feet All the ships we passed as we were making for the Admant cheered us.

Used Enemy's Guns.

Writing from the front a French soldier says:
 Tt was. believe. somewhere in Flanders before the deserted farm of K. A handful of dragons were intrenched. their object being to watch the aforementioned farm which, in spite of most absolute si- lence reigning for 24 hours, was sus- pected of giving shelter among its dilapidated walls and cellars to not less than 8 company of Boches' Gas we call the Germans), armed with machine guns, cannon. revolyers, etc.
 The lugubrious silence. broken only from time to time by distant cannon ading, gave no assurance. It sug- gested a. trap.
 aThe inaction and waiting began to tell on the spirits of our brave com rades, especially as already several large mortar shells Cknown as Jack Johnsons' by our friends and allies, the English) could be heard bursting around us with a noise more terrify- flying than dangerous. A dark, star less night stretched it's lugubrious curtain around the farm, whose hay outline and the muddy little stream surrounding 1t were occasionally dis closed by the light of bursting shrap- mel.

 Then our dragoons, Ieaping like true demons on the artillerymen of the first six guns, turn the latter on the sleeping 'Boches,' who now awake, but, alasi too late. uttering screams of terror, throwing up their hands and crying 'Comradesi Comradesi' Thus it was that a small detach- ment of French captured the farm of X-, machine guns, 'Boches' and all their equipment, and, of course, in stalled themselves in their new posi- l ton.

It is estimated that more Americans will travel through the West this year than have done so in the past five years and the two exposItions will greatly profit by this reversal of the customary summer habit of migrating eastward.
