Jack Jungmcyer, of The Times staff, has been
studying the remarkable record of the Puyallup 4
Sumner Fruit Growers association.
He has found that it is recognized as the most sue
cessful cooperative enterprise in the United States
His investigation has resulted in series of arti-
cles, with pictures, which tell veritable INEUS-
TRIAL ROMANCE.
Part of this story is familiar to Southwest Wash
ington readers; much of it they have failed to
glimpse, even with it happening under their very
noses.
SO pleased were we with Mr. Jungmeyers ar
tices that we at once arranged for their distrbu-
tion through the Newspaper Enterprise Asso-
citation, of which The Times is the only South
west Washington member, and as a consequence
they will appear, not only in our paper but in
more than 80 of the large dailies in cities like
Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Los Angeles and
st. Louis, and in large number of smaller
papers
This is one phase of Tacoma and Southwest Wash
ngton promotion work of which The Times does
great deal.
We need not point out what this bringing Of the
resources of the valley to the attention of several
million readers will mean; the benefits are too OBJ
vious to require remark
There will be at least four of Mr.. Jungmcyer's ar
tcles, maybe Be to read the first one to-

rERLIN, Jan. 31.-An effec.
tive blockade against Germany
is impossible, Admiral Won Holt
zendorff, chief of the admiralty
staff, declared in statement to-
day.
England could not stop COM
merce in the Baltic between Swe-
den, Denmark and Germany" he
said. He declared British sub
marines have been unsuccessful
in the Baltic, and limited strong
ly that Germany is prepared for
any English action.
Says It's Bluff.
Germany looks fearlessly and
earnestly upon the plans which
would cause suffering to women
and children. But because the
blockade is impossible, / say il
is a bluff.
anyone knowing the Baltic
situation will say that commerce
between Sweden and Germany is
absolutely normal. For four
weeks no English submarines
have had success in the Baltic.
We intend to make 1t more i'm
possible that they shall have.
England already hampers
German trade. IL blockade
were declared now, she would
violate international law. She
would blockade not only Germany
but the neutral nations about
her.
Prepared for Emergencies.
England proposes to make
hardships for our families, think
ing this will affect the men in
the trenches. 1t will, for they
will fight harder.
"England's purpose in this war
is to cripple Germany and de-
stroy her commerce. After 1S
months she is unsuccessful. An
effective blockade will have abb
solutely no effect on military de-
termination, for we are prepared
for any emergency. We have all
things necessary for war for sew
eral years.
When asked how long the war
will last. he said:
Until we are victorious. 1t
will last until the allies learn
they cannot accomplish their
purpose by defeating Germany.
1t will last q long time.
England does not fear the
German navy. but does fear
America and the growing Amer
lean navy"
Won Holtzendorff declared
that not more than 25 German
submarines have been lost. He
said some submarines have gone
through the Englieh nets with
|out damage. s
