THERE viii be no increase in the city tax rate

Wilmington taxpayers cannot fail to be well pleased
by the fact.

BY the exercise OF iaudable financial wisdom it has
devised plan whereby the rate year will be the
it This year and the Board of Education will
receive $4,000 next year than it has
had this year.
The latter result is TO be effected by readjustment
Of the apportionment Of the taxes between the De-

Guessing at Submarine Losses
lFrom the New York SUM

A British seafaring man who passed
through New York the other day gave
some curious particulars about the
sinking Of German submarine off the
coast of Ireland, remarking incident
ally that for some reason best known
to themselves the Admiralty never
made public reports dealing with the
destruction Of submarines by mer-
chant vessels"
The implication that this policy in
wolves some slight or Injustice TO
the merchant service is scarcely ius-
titled. Only on the rarest occasions
are any particulars published about
the capture or sinking Of submarines.
even when the work is done by a ma
val vessel Presumably the purpose
is to keep the Germans in doubt about
the fate of lost boats. and when an
announcement is made by the British
Admiralty II is because the German
Marine-Amt are are already inform
ed Of the matter. Similarly, it may
be recalled that when the Greif was
sunk. after having escaped from a
German port last February, the fact
was not made public; 1t was three or
four weeks later that a bare account
of the duel with the Alcantara was
given out. and by then it was known
that the news had reached Germany.
Last September the First Lord of
the Admiralty announced that the
German losses had been formidable,
but no more exact information has
ever been impaired officially. The
other day member Of Parliament
asked the Admiralty whether any fig
ures could be given. and the answer
was that there was nothing to add to
Mr.. Balfour's vague assurance. Clear

ly this does not mean that no subma-
rines have been accounted for in the
last six months. Il only means that
the Admiralty will not or can not
give precise information Some
months ago an officer OF our own
navy. Rear Admiral Grant, testified in
Washington that, according to trust
worthy information from abroad. the
Germans had lost over sixty subma-
rines since the war began. This was
much higher estimate than had
commonly been made in England, but
il is possibly attributed to sources of
information closed to inquirers there.
The difficulty OF determining sub
marine losses was shown by the re-
cent official report in Germany Of the
destruction Of the British submarine
E-31, whereas in reality she had re-
turned safely to her base. There Is
evidently not the least reason to sus-
pect that the German statement was
deliberately false; the obvious expla-
nation is that those who attacked the
vessel thought they had sunk her. It
is not always easy to be satisfied be-
yond a reasonable doubt in such
cases
Il was suggested in the House Of
Commons the othes day that the Ad-
misalty should publish the statistics
up to the close of 1915 A table Of
this sort, 1t was urged, could give no
information to the enemy. and might
reassure the public" The proposal
was to he laid before the First Lord.

come Of it, since it would be manifest
ly undesirable to publish an official
list that might be wide OF the mark

THE POSTOFFICE SITE.

From the Salisbury News.
The action of the committee ap-
pointed by the Business Mems AssO-
citation to select the site for the new
Federal Building. in making a unani-
nous report in favor of the site offer
ed by the Salisbury Realty Company
on East Main street. shows that our
people are determined not to have any
further unnecessary delay in making
known the wishes Of the people of
Salisbury regarding the purchase Of
the site for this new building
More than a year ago a committee
was named with Congressman Price
as its chairman, TO endeavor to induce
the Government to purchase the prop
erty at the corner Of Main and Divi-
sion streets, opposite the News Build
ing. but up to the present time this
committee has taken no action, and
our people are tired of the delay and
have come to the conclusion that after
all the site on the Realty Company's
property would be probably the best
location for the building
It is true, there is still much senti-
ment here for the selection of the lot
at the corner of Main and Division
streets, but our people all recognize
that the price at which this property
is held, in the neighborhood of thirty
thousand dollars, is excessive, and
that the Government should not pay
any such price for real estate in this
city for the purpose of erecting 2
Federal Building. II is recognized
that to take from the appropriation oil
one hundred thousand dollars practi-
cally one-third of the appropriation
for a site, would not leave a sufficient
amount for the erection Of a proper
building for this city.

again given way to artillery lombard
mentS, the most violent of which was
directed against the French positions
in the Caillette wood and their second
lines on the right bank of the Meuse.
Bombardments also have taken place
along the front held by the Belgians,
and mining operations and artillery
duels have predominated on the
British front. A severe artillery duel
is in progress around the Hobenzoll-
ern redoubt between the British and
Germans. The British and Germans
on the western line are keeping up
mutual bombardments at various
points and similar conditions prevail
in the fighting between the Austrian
and Italians in the mountainous re-
gion of the Austro-Italian front.
