NEW YORK, July 17.-Greai
Britain will not tremble at the
exploit of the German U-boat
Deutschland in making triI
from Germany to the United
States, according to Hector By
water, member of the Navy league
and associate editor of the Navy
League Annual.
| In an interview here following
the landing of the Deutschland al
Baltimore, Bywater said:
"Of actual practical value
the achievement is worth alb
sOlutely nothing. Ii will
not release England's stran-
gle hold on Gcrmany's over.
seas commerce. Ii will not
save her from economic star
walton. One small British
tramp, Of which there are
scores i'm New York now,
can carry as much as 80
costly underwater liners.
From a picturesque point OF
view the trip was admirable, but
there is nothing surprising about
it.
'At least 16 British submar-
ines, most of them of American
origin, but some designed and
built in Canada, made the trip
across the Atlantic to Gibraltar,
then to the Dardanelles over a
year ago, and some of these sub
marines were only half the size
of the Deutschland.
For this voyage the Deutsch-
land had to take out all arma-
ment, the torpedo tubes and tor
pedoes, which are extremely
bulky and take up a lot of space.
The room and weight thus saved
could be devoted to oil which
almost double the cruising ca
pacity.
THE average British submar-
inc cruising radius is $500 miles.
With armament removed it would
be increased to 1000 miles.
Trip Hard on Men.
No unusual problems of navi-
CATION are to De met IN a voyage
in a submarine across the Allan
tic. The trip is hard on the men
as there are few facilities for ex-
ercise.
Another thing which makes
the performance considerably less
remarkable than the feats that
have been accomplished by allied
submarines is that from the mo-
ment Capt. Koenig got clear of
the German coast until he ar
rived off the American coast he
had open water all the way. No
hostile mine fields had to be navi-
gated and no war vessels had to
be avoided. The only possible
danger was from allied cruisers.
THE voyage of the Deutschland
cannot be compared with trips

GEN. PETAIN\N\

When the history of the worlds
greatest war is written it will con-
stantly refer to the superman
who saved the face of the allies
Gen. Philippe Petain.
Every great war has produced
one great tactician, strategist,
fighter. Gen Petain is all of
these.
Although he is hailed through
out the world as "The Man of Yer
dun little is known of the conf
mander-in-chief at the scene OF
the longest battle in the history
of the world.
There is a strange absence OF
details concerning him. This ia
accounted for by the fact that
Petain has deep-rooted horror
of advertising. When the war
started he was only a colonel OF
infantry.
He probably would have 'peen
higher in the service had he kow-
towed to the politicians. com
promised his opinions, attended
the military balls and cou ted
publicity, but he didn't.
Here are a few of the facts
about Petain:
He is 60 years of age. He ap.
pears younger because of mental
and physical vigor. He is tall
broad-shouldered and has clear
blue eyes which look straight
forward and beyond"
He is a bachelor. In times OF

w. e. Cromwell, real estate
man and resident of Tacoma for
80 years, for the third time will
try for the state authorship on
the republican ticket this fall, he
announced today.
Cromwell was elected constable
at Tacoma in 1894 and again in
1896. Mr.. Cromwell was elected
the first city treasurer of South
Bend and in early days was an
aide and first lieutenant on the
staff of Gen. A. P. Curry, COM
mander of the Washington Ma
tional Guard.
He served as financial clerk in
the Tacoma postoffice for five
years.
In contesting for the office of
state auditor in 1908 against
Clausen he was defeated by a ma
jority of 10000 and in 1912 he
cut this majority to 10000.

HOW MAGNESIA
HELPS DYSPEPTICS
Patent Foods, Dieting and Medi-
cines No Longer Necessary,

Many dyspeptics have now dis
continued the use of expensive
patent foods, are eating what
they please in reason yet no long
er take harmful drugs, medicines
and artificial digestents to relieve
their stomach trouble. Instead
they just take a teaspoonful Of
pure bisurated magnesia in a lit
tie water after meals, with the
result that they not only save
money but enjoy much better
health and the stomach no longer
gives them trouble.
Those who have once tried BIZ
surated magnesia never dread the
approach of meal time because
they know that this wonderful
antacid and food corrective which
absolutely does not injure the
stomach and which can be OBJ
tanned at little cost at almost any
drug store will instantly neutral
lie all their excessive stomach
acidity and prevent all possibility
of their food souring or ferment-
ing In the stomach. Try this
plan yourself but be sure to get
bisurated magnesia as magnesia
in other forms often have a strong
laxative effect which is not de-
sirable.

peace he was too busy preparing
himself for war to devote any
time to social affairs.
When the war started he was
put in command of a brigade in
the First army corps, though he
still kept his rank as colonel. His
brigade distinguished itself in the
retreat from Chaleroi to the
Marine by the savage ferocity with
which 1t repeatedly turned and
beat back the Germans.
Petain was promoted to the
general division just before the
battle of the Marine. When he
met the badly disorganizzed Third
corps at the Marine he took COM
mand at once.
Sitting on his horse beside the
bridge, pistol in hand, he made
every man look up at him as the
corps marched past. He did this
to impress upon them that they
must look up to him as the en-
bodiment Of authority.
Petain had been promoted to
the comamnd of an army corps
before he took Carency and
pierced the German front. BY that
masterful piece of leadership he
won the regard of Commander-in-
Chief Joffre. After Petain smash
ed the Germans at Champagne the
French regarded him as the man
of the day.
So, when the crucial moment
came-when the French republic
was threatened by the fall of Yer
dun-Gen. Joffre promptly placed
Petain in command.
Behind frigid exterior Retain
has a warm heart, his soldiers
and officers testify. But he is
first, last and all the time a dis
ciplinarian. He keeps himself in
splendid physical condition by
fencing and riding.
He thinks and dreams battles,
and tells his officers they should
do likewise. He says officers
should strive more to become bet
ter tacticians, and better fitted to
inspire patience, self-sacrifice and
tenacity in their men.

"A suggestion that Germany in
tends to maintain regular sub
marine service across the Allan
tic does not appeal as a practical
proposition as the space available
for cargo is extremely limited.
The aggregate cargo of almost SO
of the largest submarines which
Germany is said to possess would
total up to less than the CORE
spending capacity Of a small
tramp.
In carrying papers and valu-
able and rare chemicals such a
line of submarines might be very
profitable to the owners, but /
feel the scheme will not do very
much to help Germany"
