PETROGRAD. October 19.-The No

"a clear renewal of submarine war

The Bourse Gazette says "A re-

This is the epoch in the history OF
the railroad world when specializing
is not only desirable, but necessary. II
we wish to keep pace with the times
we must adopt the same advanced
methods as there are in the CONNER
ciaI world or, better still. improve upon
them if possible. We are specializing
in the collection of transportation
charges.
TT is a well known fact that when
collections were being made IN Kansas
City by the railroads themselves the
payers Were fully acquainted with the
fact that they must clear their ac-
counts by the end of the month. But
they fell behind from the first to the
last of the month, promising settlement
from time to time. Under this plan the
public had the use of the money. and
the railroads, who are always heavy
borrowers, were unjuStly obliged to pay
interest on vast amount OF money.
Under our plan of collection, We are

I'VE wonder whether it is not Eng

Zetung continues. Ito bring us into
difficulties with other powers, particu-
larly America, by its new measures.
Americas answer regarding the ad-
instability of submarines to neutral
harbcrs and waters was of course to be
expected. America, which in the fu-
ture intends to give wide play to the
submarines in its own navy, could not
possibly tie its hands by establishing
important precedents.
whether the United States with its
conception of submarine warfare would
adopt any other conception and in case
of intensification of our naval warfare
with England would relax it's princi-
piles is an open question. 1t is proba
bic. however. that if we desire to adapt
our method of warfare to the situation
created by the army of British mer-
chantmen we shall have to go over
carefully with the government of the
United States all the possibilities of
the newly created situation. For we
may accept this much now certain:
Aside from few jingoes and Shouters
who would involve America in the war
at any price. the American people
would dislike most greatly to have the
submarine question lead to new dis
