CHINA'S SUBMISSION

The news that China has acceded to
all the demands which Japan has made
for control in Manchuria comes as a
blow to the powers apparently and is
little understood at present by any.
The United States standing as spOn~
sor for an undivided China and the
open door viii now have a chance to
learn about how much of European
promises are worth while, There is
little question but what China is to
be made the pay with which the allies
are to reimburse japan for her en-
trance into the war Just what our
protest as a nation will do with the
situation is what a great many loyal
Americans are at present rendering.
China as a budding Republic is too
feeble and too poor to protect her
self Any opposition to the encroaCh-
ments Of Japan must come from the
powers. To consider any Of the pres
ent warning powers as interested right
present to the extent of interior
ance is wrong conjecture. Any help
for China must come from America.
The ready submission of China to the
demands hardly before any of the dip
lomatic correspondence of the powers
had bten received on considered in this
country does not augur we'll for our
demands meeting with compliance on
the part of Japan. japan probably
has taken no steps without secret
sanction of her present allies.

ford such effective defensive protec-
ton by means of extensive subdivision
below the water line, that the inflow Of
water from torpedo explosion would
be liimted--so limited, in fact, that the
ship would remain afloat and proceed
to port under its own steam.
The rapid sinking of the Aboullir,
Cressy, H0gue, and Formidable, and
later of the Audacious (Which if it was
struck by a mine, received a blow but
little greater, probably, than that de-
liyered by the German submarine tor
pedo), has shown beyond all disputa-
ton that the submarine. if it once gets
within effective range, has the mas
terry of the most modern and largest
of war-shirs. 1t is our opinion that,
no matter to what extent subdivision
may he carried or how great a part of
the displacement is sacrificed to tor
pedo defense cofferdahs Of compart-
ments-in view of the increasiro size
of the submarine, its increasing speed
and the possibility of a yet further in
crease in the explosive charge of its
torpedoes--it will be impossible to
render the war-ship of the future safe
or even reasonably protected against
submarine attack
The speed of the submarine the writ
er goes on to tell us, is generally so
low that the chances of it's getting
within range are very much smaller
than the layman would suppose. High
speed and quick maneuvering, combin
ed with lookout from the masthead,
are most effective. In calm weather.
when the sea is fairly smooth, the
course of the periscope of a subma-
rine is discernible by the long white
streak of broken water Even when
the perscope is submerged, there is
disturbance of the surface. We read
further:
When dreadnought, battleship, or
armored cruiser Of first-class import
ance is steaming in submarine-infested
waters, it should always be accom-
panied by destroyers, which have prov
ed in the operations in the North sea
that they can go for submarine
with all the snap of a terrier after a
rat There have been several cases of
successful ramming of submarines by
destroyers and one or two fairly well
authenticated cases of the submarine
being sunk by gun fire as it came to
the surface for observation.
The difficulty of detecting a sub
marine increases as the water grows
rougher and it will be remembered
that the most successful attacks on
large ships have been made in stormy
weather, notably in the case of the
Formidable. The wash of the peri
scope then becomes very difficult.
BY far the most hopeful method of
protection against this insidious form
of attack is to be found, strange to say
in new form of naval warfare and
observation-the dirigible and the aer-
oplane. Literary Digest.

While the city election is agitating
the minds of the citizens of TWn Falls
The Times would suggest that the up
permost thought for all good citizens
should be the welfare and best inter
ests Of all the people. There should
be no place for a clique or faction or
the mixing in of bank affairs in a
matter which concerns all equally,
There is no place in the coming cleo
ton for petty selfishness if the best
interest of the city is the real OBJ
ject. If on the other hand the whole
aim of any crowd is the control of the
city patronage, it has NO business COM
ing before the voters as a whole with
a plea for support. The Times be-
iieves that several important issues
are at stake that will find the people
responsive. But those issues must be
the real platform and not the mounts
upon which the city patronage is to
be obtained For two successive elec-
tons this paper has supported tick

of this paper admits that nothing has
been accomplished by the tickets
which he boosted during that time
There are probably obstacles which
operated against the fulfiIlment of
those promises, but the fact remains
that Twin Falls is no farther along
its way to such Il system than il was
four years ago, 1t is a fatal adj
mission to make but nevertheless the
truth The people of this city want
a good waterwOrks system and are
willing to so to any lengths financially
to obtain it. They have been willing
and have at all tines backed those in
authority in any move attempted or
even planned. These same people
stand ready to back the proper men
in a move that will bring relief, but
they can hardly be blamed for being
skeptical after four years of disap-
pointment. Another issue and
real one is the PREPARATION to the
property owners for the damage to
paving and pavement The people OF
this city have not changed their minds
tegarding seeming indifference to
the continual practice of cutting holes
in the paving. 1t is an irritation at
all tines and is fast getting to the

VALUE OF A HOBBY,

Perhaps the most common instance
illustrative of the. need of hobby is
that of the business man who retires
after years of attention to his bust
ness interests, breaks in a few months
and then furnishes column of obit-
uary matter for the newspapers. AS
the retired business man with hob
by, on the other hand, Andrew Car
negie might perhaps we'll be cited, says
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Philanthropy and the peace propaganda
are apparently keeping him in the
land of the living, hale and hearty. In
hobby; or in a more serious occu-
patton, the writer sees the cure for
those mental states that try to be sat
isfied with such diversions as light
reading, social frivolities, and even
the drink habit 1t is not hard to
agree with him that what many per-
sons need is worthy aim in life, and
many hobbies are extremely worth
while. That of Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Weir Mitchell and Conan Doyle, who
were primarily medical men, was lit
erature, and it has been worth while.
The needed warning is that the lucky
possessor of a hobby shall not let it
run away with him, as in the case of
physician who became so engrossed
with checker playing that he quite
abandoned his practice. But isn't that
really falling into the old rut, by MAX
ing an avocation not too profitable

Here is a great truth, a truth which

Here is a great truth, a truth which
it was high time several million people
were beginning to realize. They cry
for economy for the elimination of
waste in government, and they do not
practice economy, they do not elinlin-
ate waste in their business or in their
private affairs. Only as we as a peo-
pie become individually more thrifty
that is, more saving, more econpmi-
cal, more conserving-can we EXPECT
our councils, our legislatures, our
congresses to be likewise ~.
Consider thrift in it's relation to the
industries of the country.
If everybody should spend his entire
income every year there would never
be any capital for investment beyond
that which is already invested; no new
enterprises could be floated, and I'M
proyements of all kinds, public and
private, would be at. an end The
worlds supply of new capital is simp-
Ily the margin between the worlds in
come and it's expenditures.
If we had more thrift we would have
more temperance. How genuinely use
full the money spent for the 70,000000
gallons of whisky we drank in the
last half of 1913, would be if turned in
to constructive industry now.
Nor are the benefits of thrift to be
measured wholly in terms of econom-
les. The steadiness, the industry, the
sobriety, the respect for property,
which are fostered among thrifty and
frugal people are political virtues that
make for stability and permanence of
government.
The habitual srendthrtft is a menace
to the community and the nation; the
careful citizen, guided by a sense of
the true value of property is a safe
guard to our institutions. Habits of
extravaganza tend to make trouble
in the family, the community, the ma
ton.
An American Society for Thrift
has been organized in Chicago with the
avowed purpose of promoting nation
ALLY the individual thrift which is the
basis of good citizenship and commun-
ity prosperity" Men of prominence,
Including Governors of several states,
are back of this movement which aims
to advocate broad and sensible view
of economy, pointing out to the peo-
pie that, as a great English statesman
said, Thrift is not meannes~. but
management"
The continued rise in the cost of
living, unaccompanied to any great
extent by a corresponding increase of
individual incomes, is making many
an American family right about face
in the matter of personal and domestic
economy.
Perhaps tine new tariff will reduce
the cost of living eventually, but it
hasn't yet. Possibly governmental in
vestigating commissions may lead to
that contamination, but there are no
signs of it yet. And no other panacea
has been found for it. Apparently,
therefore, for the present at least,
there is no hope of abating the steady
rise in the price Of everyday necessi-
ties, and so far, no way has been found
to beat the high cost Of living except
to stop living SO high,
Is it not. quite possible that in good
old fashioned thrift may be found the
solution of the difficult problem OF
living up to modern standards under
modern conditions 1T. D. MacGRE-

HOW TO BEAT THE SUBMARINE

HOW TO BEAT THE SUBMARINE
There is an adequate defense against
the submarine, and, oddly enough, it
lies not in water-craft but in aircraft
in the use of the dirigible and the
aeroplane to detect the under water
vessels. From height of two or
three thousand feet, a submarine a
hundred feet under water may be seen
clearly. In close observation from a
height and in rapid and skilful man
euvering, lies the greatest hope of
ability to fight this latest terror of
the seas. This information we are
given editorially by The Semitic AM
erican New York, February 49,. Says
this paper:
In the first place, let it be accepted
once and for ALL that if a submarine,
and particularly one of the German
type, can get within point-blank range
of the enemy, the ship attacked will
either be sent to the bottom or it's
days of military usefulness will be
over for many a long month to come.
One of the most striking evidences of
German forethought was their design
ing of special type Of submarine tor
pedo, having a limited range of only
1900 yards but carrying no less than
420 pounds of high explosive in the
war-head, The fact that every war
ship which has been struck by German
submarine torpedoes has gone to the
bottom is conclusive evidence of the
terrible efficiency of these weapons.
Protection against the submarine
may be sought both in the defensive
and offensive direction. One of the
efforts of naval constructors
for many years past has been to af-
