Des Moines, Dec. 26.-At the present
writing the big contests which will be
staged during the coming Legislature

STRANGE laws. appears to be taken
for granted that. the prohibitory
amendment will go thru with little, II
any opposition. Temperance leaders
claim that even some of the members
whose natural in%clinations are wet
will vote for it, as they see no hope for
any opposition in the legislature. The
fight will be made against it in the
election before the people if there ap-
pears to be much chance.-And in case
it wins the opposition will devote its
attention to proving that prohibition
is a failure.
The repeal of the primary law or
amendment to it, is also another favor
lite theme Of discussion on the part of
legislators. Thus far but few defenders
of the primary law Nas it is now have
come to the surface. If the law has
any friends they are not saving any

As to road legisla ton, such leaders as

will be sustained and the law which

THE SUBMARINE MENACE

man submarines and demanded a more vigorous offensive policy against the German fleet. Neither Lord Crewe nor Lord Lytton, who re- piled for the government, attempted to minimise the importance of the uerman naval campaign.
 The debate was opened by Lord Sydenham, who inquired when the de- finite declaration in regard to the monstrous proceedings of German submarines, to which Lord Crewe re- ferred on August l5, would be issued.
 The submarine campaign, continu- ed Lord Sydenham, was assuming very serious dimensions, and, if 1t continued with full effect, Germany might emerge from the war as the chief carrying country of the world. He suggested reprisals, such as:
 Seizure of German property for the value of ships sunk,
 Seizure of corresponding German tonnage, and
 Leyying Of heavy toll on German ships in all ports of the Empire for many years after the war
 New methods of dealing with sub marines must be tried. Circumstan- ces had arisen to cause widespread anxiety as to the policy of the Ad- miraIty. The great principle of nav al strategy had been that the first duty of the Navy was to capture or destroy the enemy's armed ships. There were some indications that the perncious propaganda that we should adopt the defensive and save ships was influencing the minds of leaders d. the Admiralty.
 Lord Beresford followed with a very vigorous speech. It was," he said, "a time for plain speaking" The government nowadays did not take action unless the force of public opinion drove them. That was so with naval policy. The blockade was not even properly effective even at the present moment.
 The submarine campaign had never before reached such formidable di- mensions. The public should be as sured that the dominating note of naval strategy was to attack the enemy.
 Turning to the submarine attacks, Lord Beresford said our merchant shipping was in grave danger and our supply of food and raw materials was imperilled. From the beginning O. the war up to November 8 the number of vessels, other than war ships, sunk by German submarines was TIA British, 3l4 Allies vessels, and PSI neutral, of which 16O were Norwegian. Since that date about 34 more had been sunk. Our sea supremacy was challenged by the submarine.
 Lord Beresford outlined some sug- ges,ions for reform. The Board of Admiralty must be strengthened. New men were wanted there. To meer the crisis We wanted:
 Young men fresh from the sea.
 Every man who made a mistake in strategy or lost a ship through a mistake should be superseded.
 The government should arm the merchantile marine.
 A great effort should be made to make up our losses and standardiSe the construction of merchant ships.
 A new Department should be created at the Admiralty to deal with submarines and an admiral straight from the sea should be placed at the head of it.
 A naval man should be put on the War Council.
 An indemnity should be exacted from Germany for the loss of all ships illegally sunk during the war.
 The blockade should be frightened by every means in our power.-Lon- don Daily Mail.
