State Department Announces
Germany Is Fully Aware
Of Attitude Of US. As Re-
: CARDS Submarine Warfare

Washington. Nov. 24.----The state
department IL done with extensive
Negotiations or representations In
present or future submarine aues-
tionm.
Discussion this afternoon OF past
and recent submarinings brought
from high state department oficials
the explanation that Germany Is fully
aware OF the American governments 4
attitude toward submarine warfare
and operations. and that n there
should happen to be violations Of the
principles the United States has
striven 10 uphold. further diplomatic
correspondence Is unnecessary.
In the course Of the discussion the
department intlmated very broadly
that stories OF q crisis are inspired,
and while II did not mention the Ger
man embassy as fostering such rum
ors. tho inference was perfectly plain
that In the past, at least. stories un.
der n Rerlin date talking Of n seri-
ons situation have been put out after
suggestions had been sent from this
country,
In q word. the administration has
positively determined to eliminate
note writing TO Germany, but has not
yet reached the conclusion that q
break In relations was imminent. Il
IL said,
Secretary Lansing today author
ixed a quotation that these rumors
appeared to originate In America"
"The situation Ia no more serious
now than II was three or four weeks
ago." the department said oficially.
I'VE do not know what stories OF
submarine crises are put out at this
time"
The German embassy today took
exception TO 1.-THE serious tone OF the
American press toward the submar-
Inc problem" II was said the en-
bassy had wirelessed the Berlin for
eign once OF this tone"
Embassy ofi,ciais said they were at
loss to comprehend reports tend
Ing to show a crisis.

apparently now In control OF the
three largest cities In eastern Ron-
mania. Whether the Roumanian
army, which Berlin claimed was hem

encircled was the question with which
military critics here were most con-
cerned today. They hoped that this
force had been able to withdraw with
success--and this hope was sustained
by the rapidlty Of the German en-
croachment, indicating. II was be-
lieved. an unopposed advance, due to
retirement Of the Rohmanians.

One other development In the days
statements lent hope that the Rou-
manians had succeeded In retiring
from the wise. That was the Buchar-
est statement detailing an attempted
disembarkment Of enemy (probably
Bulgarian) troops near zimnicea
tSimnitsa). which was apparently
unsuccessful.
Meanwhile there has apparently
been a resumption OF hard fighting
In Dobrudja. Both Roumanian and
Russian statements today reported
advances. Petrpgrad announced oc-
cupancy Of Tashul, q town on the
Karlal river. 20 miles northwest Of
Constansa. The German statement
claimed throwing back Of the Rus
SLAMS and said tho Bulgars and Rus
slams were In "hghting touch" along
the Danube.

Fish and Game Protection.

Something like a score of fish, game
and bird protective organizations have
| ven organized in Indiana within the
last few weeks under the auspices Of
the Indiana fish and game commits
sion and there is the report of splen-
did cooperation by farmers, deputy
game wardens and others for the pro-
lection of native wild animals and the
preservation Of birds that destroy the
insect pests. 1t is probable that the
fish and game laws in Indiana were
never so we'll enforced as at the pres
emit time. There are still occasional
attractions, of course, but the activity
Of the game wardens and the changed
public attitude which now seeks to
helm rather than hinder this work are
showing most excellent results.-Fort

FIGHTING MACHINE OF FUTURE
Hpoe Alrplanss UHdoubtedly Will Be
leadlSo FACTORS " Wars Are
: : to Continue.

Control Of the seas has been the
dominant factor ID this war. Britain's
naval supremacy gives her a grip upon
the destinies Of all nations. Claude
Graham-White and Harry Harper.
writing In the Fortnigi1tly Review
upon Two Years Of Aerial War" pre-
dict that in coming wars the control
Of the air win be even more essential
than control Of the seas, Charlton
Bates Strayer writes in Leslie's. In
the push" Of the allies on the west
ern front, the superiority Of their air
reconnaissance gives them great ad-
vantage. However. 1t is the growing
effectiveness Of the airplane as fight
ing machine. carrying death and de-
struction to the enemy, that Is the
most significant development OF the
war. Messrs. White and Harper pre-
diet that in future wars 1t will be the
great fighting airplanes, the machines
for destroying hostile craft. or for lay
ing waste land positions, which Will
be to the forefront" the scouting air
plane playing a minor part in the gen
eral scheme.
In all defensive plans the United
States has placed great reliance on Its
isolation. 81 Our isolation may always
have in 1t some measure of protection,
but our long coast line. facing two
oceans, makes us vulnerable as are
few nations. In the wars of the future,
the attack will be led by huge air
planes having a speed of 200 miles an
hour or more. Nations may go down
to defeat, by aircraft attack which, In
few hours, could hOpelessly cripple
the nation not ready to defend itself
in the air. 1t is argued that Great
Britain, If she is to maintain her ell
pire, must match by control or the
air the control she now has OF the
seas. But what Of the aerial defense
of our own tremendous coast line, and
our outlying possessions?
We gave birth to the first heavier
than air flying machine, and 1t is 10
our everlasting discredit that as ma
tion we have done so little to develop
1t. and that the airplane occupies so
small a place in plans for the nations
defense. The peaceful possibilities OF
the airplanes have not begun to be
grasped by the average person. Mr..
Glenn L. Martin. one Of the pioneer
aviators and constructors of this coun-
try, says: 'In developing flying we
have outdone the birds and this Is
only the beginning" Mr.. Martin Is also
authority for the statement that there
Is no means of transportation yea de-
vised that will make 60 miles an hour
as safely as an airrlane.

four hundred years ago

"Wondrous so. Father, and 1t is a

for you and the gold for me. But what
is to be the magic lure"
THAT, my son. you shall know in

Decorations for the Tree.

A pretty decoration for Christmas
which is SO easily made that the little
tots can do most Of the work, is paper
chains. Silver paper and blue paper
make the prettiest. Cut the paper
into four-inch squares, then cut the
squares into strips one-fourth inch
wide, and paste the ends Of the little
strips together, linking them as you
go. Silver alone is very pretty, and
alternate links Of blue and silver give
an attractive effect. The paper costs
five cents a sheet, so the expense Of
the decoration is small.
