THE SUBMARINES TROUBLES

The submarine merchantmen
Deutschland is still tied to her wharf
at Baltimore, and there is no def
mite indication when she will clear
for her dash through Hampton
Roads and out between the capes
into the Atlantic. All kinds Of
rumors have been circulated, none
Of them very convincing, except the
one which informs that the Deutsch-
lands owners do not want her to de-
part before the arrival Of her sis
ter ship. the Bremen. If the Bremen
is captured or destroyed, the
Deutschland will perhaps be in
termed and make no effort during
the war to escape.
In all probability, however, the
next move Of the Deutschland will
depend on a number of develop
ments. There is some reason to be-
lieve that already one undersea mer-
chant ship, the Amerika, actually
did clear from Germany, attempt the
Atlantic voyage, and fail; whether
by capture, destruction, or other
wise is only to be conjectured. The
Bremen, sailing after the Deutsch-
land, is long overdue. She has been
reported captured, and the report
has been denied, though not in a
very cnnyincing WAY
II out of three sdSsca ,h,ps sent
away, the Germans are only able to
account for one, they would nat
urally be indisposed to push adven-
ture much farther. It will, of course,
be British policy to give them no
light on the fate of any craft that
may be lost. From the beginning,
the British admiralty has added to
the gruesomeness of the submarine
adventure by surrounding with mys-
terry the fate Of any German subma-
rine they captured or destroyed. A
vessel would go out from a German
port and never return. That was
all. How she was lost, or where. OF
by what means she was captured, no
inkling would be given. The Ger
mans are said to know very little
about the real means by which their
enemies have managed to capture SO
many Of these vessels; and the Brit
ish have no notion of relieving their
curiosity on this point,
So, if the Bremen has been cap.
tured, and if the Amerika, even he.
/ fore the Deutschland's effort, was
lost, 1t may be assumed that Lon
don will have no tale of it to tell
The Germans will have to guess
Maybe the British and French
: patrols have established some par.
ticularly deadly and certain method
of capturing an unarmed submarine;
that will be a pleasant subject fol
German underwater seamen to spec.
ulate about, as they pull down their
matches and sink under the waves
It will tend to steady their nerves
to make their service agreeable and
attractive. So London leaves, and
probably will continue to leave, the
fate of any lost submarine to con.

THE FRENCH NAvY's WORK

In another place on this page is
presented a Paris letter from Henry
Wood, telling about one war devel-
opment that has had less attention
than it has deserved. This is the
work of the French navy, and the
development of that force since the
war began.
Just as the German army has COM
manded prime attention and over
shadowed in interest the military es-
adjustments of Germany's allies, SO
the British fleet has popularity seem

What PozIER Es' FALL MEANS

Only few days ago German
army orders directed that Pozieres,
Longueval, and Combles must be
held at whatever hazard. 1t was
apparent that their Importance re-
lated to the fact that they were
outposts Of Bapaume, a very neces-
sary center Of highways, both rail
and otherwise, by which the German
supplies are distributed and troops
moved. During the earlier stages
of the British movement against
Pozieres the Berlin authorities an
nounced that the allied offensive had
been definitely checked.
Now Pozieres is firmly in British
hands. 1t is one of the highest
points in the region, Offering most
advantageous emplacements for ar
tillery with which to command the
route, through a comparatively level
country, to Bapaume, which is only
seven miles away. Part of Tongue
val is also in the possession of the
British.
1t will be set down as highly sig
nifcant that the Australian and New
Zealand troops have been the largest
factors in the capture of Pozieres
The colonials have been converted
into one of the most effective bodies
Of soldiery the allies possess; theil
work at Pozieres was against Ger,
man veterans brought from Verdun
who were unable to stand against
them.

south Of the city, next Wednesday

kets, prepared to spend the day par
ticipating in the program which has

cd by the arrangements committee,

the history Of western Polk county.
The idea Of holding a community
picnic was originated by the business
men Of the city last year, and the

rural and city, are anxious to bring
about a condition that will tend to
bring the methods of adopting CO.
operation into play in order to stimu-
late the wave Of prosperity which has
been noticeable during the past few
years.

WILSON AND
GRANT
(From the Journal.) )

In one of his Portland addresses,
Senator Burton said:
THE one thing more obvious than
any other in all the conflicting cur
rent Of events is that the present igno-
bic status of the United States in rela-
tion to other countries has been
brought about by the halting, the va.
cillation and the hesitancy Of the pres
ent administration"
What would Senator Burton have
done that President Wilson has not
done2
What means would he have used to
save US from what ne terms "our ig-
noble status?"
Since. with the RooseVelts and Roots
and other war makers, he would have
used deeds" instead Of words -
would Senator Burton have placed
the army on war footing and sent
the navy over the Atlantic to make
a demonstration in force? What else
could he have done. since he calls the
Wilson foreign policy "ignoble" and
halting2"
In thus condemning President Will
sons foreign policy, Senator Burton
and his brother war makers condemn

FOR A GREATER NAVY

T 7 is now possible to get a
line on the effects Of the
preparedness campaign
on the fortunes of the navy.
The naval appropriation
bill as agreed upon by a sub
committee of the house carries
$217,652,174 against $149,-
656,865 appropriated for the
current fiscal year. This in
crease of $68,O00,0OO or As
per cent, is largely given over
to an increase in new construc-
ton and navy personnel. Two
super-dreadnoughts, two bat
tie cruisers, fifteen destroyers,
thirty submarines, three scout
cruisers and $500 additional
men-these are the main fea-
lures of the new constructive
programme, which is substan-
tally in accord with the navy
departments five year plan.
The people would have ap-
proved even more money for
the navy. There may be room
for differences of opinion over
the size of the army. That we
should have a much more pow
erful navy than we have is
scarcely to be questioned.
