Destruction By an

By Two French Lieutenants

PARIS, Dec. q delayed in trans
mission. AZ story Of the; destruc-
ton Of a. German submarine by an
allied saeroplane was related today by
Lieutenants Whey and De Sincay, on
their return to Paris. from Dunkirk.
1T was, noon on Sunday" said
Lieutenant Whey. We had left half
an hour before on q French biplane
to look for submarines, which were
reported nearby. We rose 10000
feet and had been cruising about for
some time when we saw two subma-
rines five miles of shore west Of Nieu-
port. s.
..It was an ideal spot for our pur-
pose. The sea was shallow, giving
the submarine little chance OF es-
cape. By .plunging in wide spirals
we descended toward one Of the
boats, which being on sand bank,
could not dive. It made desperate
efforts to get away, steering In wild
zig gags. g
I'VE realized we could not get It,
and SO turned our attention to the
other boat. Apparently 1t was more
difficult to handle 1t, for despite all
iendeavors, 1t failed to get out OF
the circle. We traced, as We bounced
down on 1t. We came down to about
800 feet above the sea. When, we
were certain OF not missing. we let
go the first bomb and had the satis-
faction Of seeing that we had made
a hit. Even with the naked eye we
could observe that serious damage
had inflicted on the deck Of the
boat. A
I'VE circled around twice more
over the doomed submarine. A Sec
ond bomb did the rest Of the work.

latter held the crowd back while Ford
posed for a score OF moving pictur
cameras and more than seventy-fve
other photographers. Ford carried 4
tattered American flag which he waved
with one hand while he repeatedly
doDed his hat to the cameras.
Large Gray Squirrel.
Fifteen minutes before the ship was
scheduled to sail messenger boy
riding in taxicab drove onto the pier.
The boy carried q large covered cage
which was believed to contain live
dove. When the cage was uncovered,
however. 1t was found that the occu-
pant was large gray squirrel. This
created much merriment and one Of
the secretaries placed the squirrel d.
lectly under one Of the mounted peace
does. y 3
One Of the diversions during the
last hour was the marriage OF Miss
Marion Rubicom, Of Philadelphia, ana
iBerton Braley, OF New York. The
ceremony was performed by he Rev.
5enkin Lloyd Jones, OF Chicago.
Eleventh Hour Peril.
The crush Of belated passengers at
the sailing pier Of the Oscar ii ,sss
almost equalled by an eleventh hour
rush at the Office Of the Scandinavian
American line in lower Broadway. De-
ginning shortly before noon trains
arriving in the city brought prospec-
tive peace advocates and newspaper.
correspondents by the score. Pass
ports previously ordered from Wash
iington were in the hands Of a repre-
sentative OF Mr.. Ford who was on
hand to see that they went to the
proper parties.
AS the hour Of sailing drew near
all those at the Office were direc.ed to
go to the ship and complete their ar
rangements there.
Great Crowd ON Dock.
An hour before sailing time the
crowd at the dock became SO great
that police reserves had to be called
to keep the gangways clear for passen-
gers and for porters carrying aboard
the baggage. So
After the ship had been cleared Of
visitors and the captain was waiting
the word to- cast OF, the crowd that
filed the large pier gathered as close
to the ship as possible and either; sang
patriotic songs or cheered for the sue
cess OF the venture. .s.5 y
To accommodate q number of peace
advocates who arrived too late to sail
on the Oscar II ,it was announced at
the Ford peace headquarters here that
reservations will be made for them
on the Frederick VIII, Of the same
line, which sails on December 8. This
second party may number dozen
and It was announced twill include
three governors who did not go or

Much Excitement.
Much excitement prevailed IN Inc

fact that fifteen of the party arrived

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say II know that my Redeemer
iveth," but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
water in it's financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water in farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or Ave per cent per
annum, as there is in business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur-
tiles in the other.
/ The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property in
volved but the usurer, as, rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
Industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from finan-
cial immortality in both law and GUS
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying $20O.000,00O per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents $4,000, 000,-
900 of fictitious values which the farm
er is paying interest on. This sum of
money is almost equal to the annual
value Of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power Of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
face-three-fourths water and one
fourth land, The largest body of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farms
and it's waves are dashing and its
pillows are rolling against seven mil
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity of the nation.
VIII our public servants who under
stand how to drain the liquid of in
dustrial properties turn the faucet and
let the water off the farms?

TAINTED POLITICS
BY Peter Radford.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There is
scarcely campaign speech made, a
platform demand written or mea-
sure enacted into law that does not
carry the faint of personal gain OF
some politician or political faction
thereof.
There is more blue sky" in cam
paign promises of many politicians
running for Office than was ever con-
tanned in the prospectuses of the bold.
est promoters of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret COM
binations formed by politicians in the
name Of "My Country" than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE 1t en-
acted" than were ever concealed I'M
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by law
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than a political party
that seeks to make junk Of an in
dustry, or cripple a business for party
success, through tariff measures, po-
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story Of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their contamination
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in office today who, If they
could not shake plums off the tree OF
American liberty or cut a melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public.
The country is surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull
let's in defense of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor in de-
tense of agriculture or industry No
representative of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of a political
campaign to influence judgment can
render capable service.
The preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the Amer
lean voter should seek these attri-
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the pillow or the staff of
the Shepherd. The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule is
fresh air and sunshine and these ~
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm, and when farmers,
bankers and merchants are elected to
membership in legislative bodies, much
of the trouble in government will dis
appear.

NEW DEPARTMENT
OF FARM PRODUCTS

BOISE, May Especial to the
Gazette.-The new Department OF
Farm Markets, which was created
by the last Idaho legislature, Off
cially came into existence last Satur-
day with Director w. G. Scholtz in
charge. On taking over the man.
agement of this new and important
department to the agricultural inter-
ests of the state, Mr.. Scholtz resign
ed his position as managing editor
of the Western Farmers Review.
When seen at his Office in the CAPT.
toll building today, Director Scholtz
made the following statement:
'There are three distinct features
in the law which created this farm
markets department. In the first
place there is the farm land listing
feature through which owners can
list their farm property for sale
and the department endeavoring,
through funds made available for
this purpose. to promote the sale of
the properties listed, bringing the
seller and the buyer directly in touch
with each other. Any farm land
owner wishing to dispose of any part
of his his holdings is invited to get
in touch with this office, upon re-
ceipt of which request the necessary
blanks and futher particulars will
be furnished. Then there is the free
farm employment bureau, through
which this office will attempt to
bring the job and the man together,
without expense to anyone concern
ed. This feature of the law is really
self explanatory, and anyone desir-
ing farm work, is requested to cor
respond with this office.
"The largest and most important
feature of this law is, of course, the
one concerning the better distribu-
ton of farm products. Instant re-
lief along these lines of course can
not be expected as the first year will
be taken up largely with prelimin-
airy work, organizing, surveying the
field and mapping out plans. Right
from the start, however, I am anxi-
Gus to get the farmers throughout
the state to realize that in this de-
partment they will have "a friend
at court "a state department that
is particularly interested in their
commercial problems and anxious
to assist in every way possible. !"
