Submarines soberly Considered.
From the New York Times.

Over in England they affect. somewhat
iaboriously: to feel. with regard to the
ence tinged with amusement. That, of
course, is much to underestimate the I'M
p%ortance of Captain koenig's achieve

assume large proportions after the return
or peace to the world and its seven seas.
AS a matter of fact, the ockad is not
broken; what has been done only shows

can be found and utilized to a greater or
less degree. Just that is what the Ger
mans mans nave done. and they deserve full
But the talk about undersea commerce, at
least with boats at all like this one, is
mostly nonsense. Nobody would dream of
using such craft for the carrying of eth
er freight or passengers, except in condi-
ions precisely like those now existing for
the Germans.
For a merchantmen. there is only one
known advantage III the ability to sub
merge and run under water. That ability
would enable her to escape destruction or
capture by enemy vessels on the surface,
stronger and better armed than a SUBJ
marine can possibly be. The single adj
vantage, however. is secured at a cost
there would be no thought Of paying ex-
loss, but for a mere remnant, of the pow
er to meet any demand of ocean traffic.
Just now there Is an opportunity, for a
German submarine to make a lot of
money by carrying back and forth a small
quantity of goods SO much needed that
almost any price will be paid for them.
With the return to peace. the sorriest old
tramp steamer could scorn the rivalry of
the Deutschland and all her ~kind-could
carry reign far more cheaply and safely,
and no matter how poor her "accommoda-

everybody else for cong what nobody ad-
mitted trying to do. Senator Cummins
denied that the law was his, and charged
the Interstate Commerce commission with
bluffing in misinterpreting the law. Bag
gag checkers thought the railways
showed supernatural skill in annoying
their patrons, n they were impartial in
their distribution of blame for their
troubles.
Now there is a new law which goes to
the point without indirection, and which
may be more easily understood and COM
piled with. although you never can tell.
The trouble with what Senator Cummins
said was not his amendment was that IL
made the general railway rates an excep-
ton to the amendment for the benefit of
the grangers. The new law restores the
old general rules and makes live stock
and baggage the exceptions. 1t may b.
hoped that now everybody will be happy,
In particular Senator Cummins. the gram
gers, and the Interstate Commerce COM
mission. Careless riders on the rail may
know less about railway rate regulation,
but little they will care for that.

This is given as a diet suitable for a
child weighing "a pounds. The num-
Der of grains of protein is 597, decided
ly a small amount for a growing child.
Three-fourths of the protein is from
animal sources and one-four from
vegetable. Most physicians would
give somewhat more meat and milk,
perhaps compromising by slightly de-
creasing the amount of rice, bread, or
cereal. The diet would be a little lib
eral for Il baby ] year old and q little
light for one is months old.

hungry between meals, water will gem

MONGOOSE IS A PEST
WEST INDIES SEEKING PLAN TO
GET RID OF IT.
Government Rewards Have Only Had
tho Effect Of Adding to Their
Number, and the Problem Has
Become Serious.

The mongoose pest is becoming
really serious, II is worse than ever.
writes Trinidad correspondent to
British paper.
Formerly, he says. the government
gave a substantial reward for each
body or tail produced. but no sub
stantial reduction resulted. Some en-
terprising peasants we're suspected of
making a successful minor industry
by breeding the mongoose. and in one
ward 1t was established that an limo
cent warden had paid for the same
tails over and over again. As soon
~ bought they were buried only to
be dug up and sold again In the morn.
ing
Another amusing. II expensive. thing
occurred In this connection. In two ad
Joining wards an experiment was
tried. Al one they gave . nat rate
rs cents each-male or female. At
another the price was 81 for the f.
male and SO cents for the male.
After some time II dawned on the
official purchasers that there Was .
great preponderance OF females in the
latter ward, The simple peasant had
again proved one too many for the au.
thorities. Inquiry proved that all the
females caught in both wards were
sold in the one where the price was
raised, and all the males vice versa.
Then the government got tired OF II,
and no further reward was given.
The mongoose, II may be recalled.
was imported into the West Indies In
the seventies OF last century. to ex-
terminate the rats which rayaged the
cane fields. They did this most ef
fcctually. but, having destroyed the
rats, they turned their attention to
poultry and birds. Then lizards fell
a prey to their voracious appetltes,
with the result that the insects in.
creased in an alarming extent. Final
ly the mongoose became as great a
pest there rs rabbits are in Australia.

UNCLE SAM AS RA!LROADER
Government Now Operating One Hun
dred and Thirty-six Miles
in Alaska.

Washington, Nov. .8-One hundred
:thirty-six miles of the new Govern
ment Alaskan railroad to connect
Seward with Fairbanks-a distance of
46G miles-is now in operation with
daily trains running. On the 1876
miles, II comprise the old Alaska
Northern railway line, which has
been repaired and again put in oper-
alton. Sixty-fve miles is entirely
new.
The Old Alaska-Northern line ran
from Seward to Kern Creek, and was
built in 19O4-falling into practical
disuse during 1908. The new sec
tion connects the town of Anchorage
on Cook Inlet, with Matanuska June
ton, where a branch line 20 miles
long has been run to the Matanuska
coal fields. Coal is now being daily
hauled from these fields. The next
link in the rOad-which is not expect
cd to be cut clear through until the
Fall OF 1919-wiIl be the connecting
section between Kern Creek to An
chorage, which, it is hoped by the
Government engineers, will be com
pleted next year
Work is also progressing in the vi
Cinity of Fairbanks where rush work
is being done to connect up the town
with the adjacent Menana coal fields
Fairbanks now facing a fuel short
age.
The estimated cost of the construC-
tion of the 466 miles of the main line
Gncluding the branch to the Matanus-
ka coal fields) is $685. 600. OF this
sum 100000 will have been expend-
ed up to the close of the present fiscal
year. A force of 1000 men is elm
ploycd on the road, and is considered
adequate to complete the line. Work
will progress throughout the winter.

EFFORT TO SAVE

G9INNELL FORMS OUTING CLUB
Sidney Woman Displaying Gun "That

jures Neiehbor Boy-Father
and Son Hurt in Fall.

Villisca, Nov. S.-As the time ap-
proaches for the sale under orders of
the federal court, of the Atlantic
Southern railroad, the people along
the line have less and less hope of
seeing the railroad rejuvenated and
fear that it will go the way of all junk,
far cry from the exciting period a
few years ago when former Secretary
of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw ex-
pended nearly 100000 in cash and
much time in an effort to buy the rail-
road, which at that ime also includ-
ed the Atlantic Northern, which is
still in successful operation from At
lantic north to Kimballton.
The blow falls the hardest upon the
people of Mortons Mills and other
small towns between Villisca and At
lantic. These successful communi-
ties have strained every resource in
an effort to get the road into operation
and recently committees have been
busy securing subscriptions to plan
to- buy and operate the line, but the
sum subscribed, although large, is
believed to be far from sufficient.
