1t was also stated authoritatiyely
that, should it be shown that German
submarine attacked the Sussex, Ger
many would disavow the act, offer rep
aration, punish the submarine com
mander and satisfy the United States
that the act was in violation of in
structione.
1t was further stated that the Ger
man ambassador, Count Won Berns-
torff, was mainly responsible for the
recent retirement OF Grand Admiral
Won Tirpitz, who is understood to have
been eliminated because of his views
on submarine warfare after Count Won
Bernstorff had made certain recon-,
mendations to the imperial chancellor,
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
According to information at Wash
ington, the ambassador was advised
that Admiral Won Tirpitz proposed to
conduct a relentless submarine cam
paign against all shipping to British
ports and was asked what, in his opin-
ion. would be the effect of such a cam
paign upon neutral nations, particu-
larry the United States. The embas-
sador's reply is said to have been en-
important factor in the retirement OF
the admiral
Knowing these facts and the atti-
tude of the German government, leu

A KANSAS NAVAL EXPERT
But He Was an Industrious Seeker
After knowledge.

John r. Connolly not only is demo
Graf. but he comes from Kansas. 1t is
therefore fitting that, serving his sec.
ond term in Congress, he should have
seat in the House naval affairs com.
mittee. But Mr.. Connolly for some
reason or other too long has been hid
ing his light under bushel Yester.
day he brought it out and let it shine
in all its glorious eifulgence. Today
Kansas is almost bursting with pride.
1t all happened this way; Admiral
Grant, commander of the submarine
Aotilla, was before the committee tell
ing of some of the needs OF the navy.
Mr. Connolly, clearing his throat and
with seriousness BETTING the sol
emn occasion, looked Admiral Grant
squarely in the face and asked:
Admiral there has been good
deal of talk about torpedo destroyers.
Are there vessels to destroy torped-
oes?"
Every member of the committee
leaned forward in anxious expectation
of an answer. Admiral Grant, true
son of Neptune, did not falter, al
though conscious of the grave respon-
sibility thrust upon him. SO he told
his eager listeners all about the
functions of torpedo boat destroyer.
1t seems that one at least is as
signed to every cruiser and battleship
Its duty is to keep sharp lookout for
torpedoes. If a hostile craft dis
charges one at the ship it is mounting
guard over it Immediately goes in pur-
suit of the missile. Half dozen
members of the crew are equipped
with scoop nets, something like one
uses in grabbing, and when the torpedo
boat destroyer gets alongside the tor
pedo sailor nimbly reaches over and
snares it. 1t looks pretty difficult at
first, but it is very simple after all
when one is trained to it. In fact, Ad-
miral Grant said that the torpedo
fielding average OF our navy for the
last five seasons has been 997. So
one can see how little we have to fear
on that score.
We often hear that senators and rep
resentatives are not always qualified
to control the destinies of great ma
ton. What rubbish! We recall, for
instance, that senator of gigantic in.
tellect, who, when the inquiry into the
loss OF the Titanic was in progress,
asked why the passengers and crew
did not take refuge in the watertight
compartments when they saw that the
ship was doomed. AS long as we
have such men as this we may rest as
sured that the United States will
stand secure even amid falling

Some of the belligerent countries
have shown their lack OF men for mill
-tary service by calling to the, colors
boys only II years old, but the press
ing need of more soldiers was never so
apparent as in the summons of Austria
to all men up TO 81 years TO take up
arms-Brattleboro Reformer
The reports of calling boys to Z the
colors as sent out by the various war
departments are practically untruth
full by year. For instance in calling
youths of given age it means in most
cases those who will reach that age
within the year. A youth OF II may
| mean that the boy will be II next

OF all the nations at war, Russia, in
spite OF her boasted millions. is the
worst offender, having several months
ago called classes which contain thous
ands of boys under sixteen-boys, who
will reach sixteen during certain

hardest pressed for intelligent sol
Hers of any of the nations in the strug-

of men of military age, but a large

being too friendly to the Austrians and

The lower house of congress passed
a bill to increase the American army
to 100000. The senate is considering
raising the total to 17S,000. This is
not preparedness it is merely increas-
ing our inefiiciency. The United States
army is not the great national joke

ALIENS LEAVING TO

Amendment to Bill Bars Men
Who Left Here to Take Up
Arms in the War.
DOOR SHUT AGAINST THEM

Washington, Dec. l3.--Thousands
of aliens who have returned to their
native lands to engage in the war
would be barred from returning to
the United States by an amendment
to the immigration bill adopted today
by the senate.
Senator Reeds amendment barring
temporary laborers also was adopted,
and after long debate it was decided
not to change the house provisions
that no alien shall be excluded for a
crime of political nature.
The senate also added a provision
requiring aliens to state their pur-
poses in coming to the United States,
how long they intend to remain and
whether they intend to become Amer
lean citizens.
By a vote OF forty-one to twenty
four the senate rejected an amend
ment proposed by Senator Poindex-
ter OF Washington to deny admission
to persons ineligible to citizenship in
the United States. Senator Poindex-
ter refused to say when pressed by
several democratic colleagues that the
amendment referred more particularly
to Japanese than any other national
ity, whose citizens could not become
United States citizens.

Washington, Dec. l3.--Germanys
reply to the American inquiry on the
sinking Of the American steamer,
Lanao, by German submarine off
Cape Vincent October 20, received at
the State department today, contends
the sinking was justified because the
vessel carried contraband and was
not in fact an American ship. but had
been transferred to Norwegian own
ers.
The exact registry of the Lanao
is in dispute. Owned by Findlay-
Miller & Co. OF Manila and under
Philippine registry, its sale to the
Norwegian firm of Hans Hennewig
of Christiania had been reported be-
fore it left Manila
Captain Mainland reported to the
department that though the sale had
taken place, the actual transfer was
not to be made until arrival in Eng
land. The American consulate at
London has reported that the vessel
was still listed as American there.
