for the same feeling in the Maryland
and Kentucky results?

Submarine Activity.

After a period OF comparative mac
tivity German submarines are again
in evidence in the war dispatches
London announcements made yester-
day indicate that four British and one
Swedish ship had been torpedoed.
One OF the British vessels was sunk
in the Mediterranean the location of
the other three not being given. The
Swedish vessel was sunk off the
Swedish coast.
Several ships have been sunk, pre-
sumably by German submarines, in
the Mediterranean, two of the Teu-
tonic undersea craft having been
known recently to have passed
through the straits of Gibraltar. 1t
is probable that close watch is now
being kept at the straits to prevent
any further entries. Conditions at
the straits are such as to render a
patrol very easy, the headlands of
Europe and Africa being only about
seven and half miles apart. The
Straits of Dover, about three times
as wide, are being closely patrolled
against submarines, and some reports
even go to the extent of describing
virtual double barrier from Dover
to Calais, comprising torpedo boats,

Helping the Ex-Prisoners.

The plan which Supt. Whitaker OF
the Washington Asylum is trying out,
OF seeking places for men and women
who have served terms at Occoquan,
should have the support of all citi-
zens., 1t is to the highest interest of
the community that those who have
erred and broken the laws and have
been taken in charge temporarily by
the state for punishment should be
given a chance to redeem themselves.
No more dreadful result of misdoing
can be conceived than the permanent
condemnation OF one who has per-
haps merely yielded to a sudden
temptation, without any real criminal
design. Or who has been led by cir
cumstances into intemperance or mis-
behavior. To refuse such one a
chance to make good" by making
an honest living, is to condemn him
virtually to perpetual conflict with
the law and life in prison.
In former times it was the prac-
tice to brand the malefactor in such
way that all men might know his
offense The unwillingness to give
work to a man who has served a
term for some misdemeanor is tam
tanount to branding. where have
you worked last?" asks the prospec-
tive employer. II the answer is "Oc-
coquan,' the applicant for employ
ment is passed on hurriedly. This is
not fair or Christian 1t is not the
part of good citizenship. 1t is un-
just to the man who is trying to
bring himself back to respectability
and self-esteem and responsibility. 1t
is unfair to the community in that it
tends to make the man an habitual
lawbreaker.
Many of those who are confined at
Occoquan are there because of con-
ditions that, given a fair show at
self-support, will never be duplicated
Some are there because they are SIM
ply lazy. physically and morally, in
| different to law and to public opin-
ion. These are perhaps not hopeful
material But the others deserve a

be given it, and those who are will

trawlers and other craft, forming a
lane through which transports, muni-
ton carriers and hospital ships pass
safely.
II the Germans reach Constantine
ople they will have almost the same
difficulty in sending submarines into
the Mediterranean as they now have
at Dover and Gibraltar. Only through
the Dardanelles can exit be had from
the waters of the Turkish capital
into the Aegean sea and thence into
the Mediterranean, and the allied
fleets command the southwestern en-
trance to the straits in such a way
as to render naval exit, even for a
submersible vessel, extremely diff
cult A fourth possible outlet is
through the Adriatic, from an Aus
trian port, but here again the con-
formation of the coast presents a
difficulty. Italy is in control of the
Straits of Otranto, at the mouth of
the Adriatic, about forty-6ve miles
in width. This is the widest of the open
ings into the great sea from ports con-
trolled by Germany or her allies. So
successful, however, have been the
German submarine maneuvers here
tofore that it may be expected that
with the same dash and shrewdness
that marked their submarine warfare
in the earlier stages some way will
be found to conduct an undersea CAM
paign against the allies in the Medi-
terranean in conjunction with the
southwark drive of the Teuton forces
through Serbia.
Meanwhile the British submarines
are not idle, small German cruiser
having been sunk by one of them in
the Baltic within few days. A dis
patch from Stockholm also states
that within the last three days six
German ships have been wrecked on
the Swedish coast while trying to
escape British submarines.

stood together, the democrats would
have had only few thousand the
best of the poll.
Last week the democrats carried
Maryland by very slender major
ity, although the senior senator from
the state was greatly interested in
the ticket and worked hard for it.
In Kentucky the result as to gov
ernor is still in dispute, with only a
few hundred votes separating the re-
publican and the democratic candi-
dates. Both United States senators
stumped for the democratic ticket.
But in Kentucky there was even
a stronger appeal by the democrats
than through their two senators and
their leading newspaper. A letter
from the President asking for
democratic victory was read from
every stump in the state, and the
stumpers emphasized the deliverance
by an assertion that democratic de-
President in his desire for second
term.
The democrats were defeated. A
majority of thirty-odd thousand for
state ticket registered four years
ago was Whitfield down to nothing,
or next to nothing. with the candi-
date for governor hanging on by his
eye1ashes. All appeals for the Presi-
dent failed.
In both states the bull moosers in
large numbers, almost entirely. have
returned to their old affiliations. In
Kentucky last week there was bull
moose ticket, but its support was beg
carly. The great majority OF the men
who had rejected Taft for Roosevelt
in 1912 now pumped for the repub-
lican ticket; and, encouraged by
good ticket and good platform, will
probably do the same thing in the
national contest next year.
