Daniels and His Muzzle.

Josephus Daniels is still running true
to form. There is about this little man,
clothed with authority as with garments
grotesquely ample, dead level OF as
ininity which excites ones admiration.
Other cyclists have their moments of
weakness, their periods Of disappointingly
rational conduct. their glimmerings Of
humor. But Daniels is dependable, the
same yesterday. to-day and forever.
Another man would have permitted Ad-
mral Fiske to read to the Navy League
the paper which the department had APP
proved. The logic of such a decision
would have appealed TO him against a
judgment dictated by vanity Of power and
personal spite. Not so Josephus. The
admiral's paper might be read, but not by
the admiral. Josephus cared nothing for
the transparency of such an arbitrary or
der. nothing for the increased sympathy
for the admiral and the contempt for him
self which it was bound to excite, because
of its utter futility. The admiral had in
Cured his displeasure and this dlspleasure
must be made manifest.
We feel like congratulating the admiral
There could be no better proof than such
an incident that Daniels, in attributlng
this gallant cfficer's criticism of the navy
to pique, was simply judging another by
himself. 1t throws an important light
too. on the Secretary's policy in general
Of muzzling navy officers. Fortunately
the Senate seems at last to have taken
the measure of Josephus in calling per-
emptorily for the letters which passed be-
tween him and the General Board and be-
tween him and Admiral Fiske on the sub
ject Of the navy's unreadiness. The coun-
try can't be expected forever to remain
ignorant of the state of its first line of
defence merely for the sake of protecting
this quaint little persons vanity.

as long as the commanders of submarines
stick to the recognized custom of detention
and search. Otherwise such accidents are
almost certain to occur from time TO time
and sketches made on the spot or from
memory will hardly acquit the blunderer
In naval maneuvres errors Of the grossest
kind have frequently been made-battle-
ships have been mistaken for cruisers, de
stroyers for battleships, and rice rerso'
and fleets Of fishing vessels have been
taken for torpedo boats. The possibility
of such mistakes is too well established 70
be disputed.
The very fact that the commanders OF
submarines German commanders
are not infallible is an argument not for
but against the German method OF con-
Quoting submarine warfare. 1t is reassur-
ing, however. to find one German expert
who is not unduly impressed by the evi-
dence Of pencil sketch.

Another Cannery Labor "Joker.'

The fact that the provision for day and
night work in canneries for women and
minors is concealed in general re-
vision of the labor laws which the Assem-
bly, has Just passed is too apparent 20
permit it 10 slip into the statute books.
The fact that this provision is only one of
many, some Of them questionable, others
positively vicious, is double evidence Of
the desirability Of killing this BILL either
in the other house Of the Legislature or
by Executive veto.
II has been manifest from the begin
ming Of the session that a general drive
was TO be made this year at intelligent
and liberal labor laws. Here and there,
wherever opportunity offered, bill has
been presented which would undermine
10 some extent the statutes enacted a few
years ago, as the result OF general quick
ening Of the public conscience, to protect
the health and morals and lives of factory
workers. The renewal Of the endeavor OF
the Gamers 10 get something resembling

Grabbing New York's Water.

Though the lawmakers are now going
through the motions Of affordng some
degree of financial relief by remedial
egislation-to New York City, the real
affection of the upstaters for the metrop-
oils is adequately expressed by their enthu-
siastic passage Of the Westchester water
bill over Mayor Mitchel's veto. That
measure permits the municipalities of the
adjoining county to take water from New
York's mains without the consent of any
state board. officer or department. or with
out the consent of any person. apparently,
save the proper officer" in charge of the
city's water supply. And just what lie
could do to prevent it would be manifestly
question for adjudication by the hghes,
court.
New York City at present is buying
pumped water from private corpora
tons in Brooklyn and Queens. When the
new supply from the Ashokan reservoir
comes down the pipes that purchase NAV
he discontinued but the new supply is so
inadequate to the city's future needs that
already the authorities are committed TO
an enlargement Of the source of supply By
taking in Schoharie Greek. Thus, while
New York is in the position Of needing
what water it has, and Of considering
means for acquiring more. the upstate
lawmakers, in defiance of the city's chief
executive, seek to compel it TO give TO
Westchester communities what they want.
1t is to be hoped Governor Whitman will
veto this bill. 1t is an unwise measure,
made especially obnoxious to this city by
the fact that upstate anmus has endeav-
ored 70 force it on the metropolis. 1t de
serves nothing kinder than the Governor
disapproval.

Cermany's Submarine War.

The losses inflicted Of late by German
submarine vessels and mines are far too
serious to be made light Of, but the posi-
bility Of overrating them is shown IN the
comments of some German writers. Mr..
Bernard Ridder. remarking that Germany
was reputed 10 have twenty-seven boats
i'm commission when the war broke out, un-
dertakes to review the progress made since
then for the benefit Of the "Staats-Lel-
lungs" readers. He supposes that there
are probably one hundred seagoing U-boats
at the command of the German Navy and
assuming that the war is to last two or
three years longer. the increase of the
facilities for the building Of submarines
might result in turning loose four or five
hundred U-boats against British COM
MERGE"
This is obviously guesswork We have
no means of knowing how many subma-
rines there are at work; it is impossible
even to tell how many have been lost. On
the question of losses caused by subma-
rines the information published is fuller
and more trustworthy. and by way of show
ing how the menace increases Mr.. Ridder
writes:
During the month Of January, 10000 tons
Of shipping were destroyed by German sub
marines. In February an increase OF 100 per
cent brough, the total for that month 10
10000 tons In March il had advanced to
10000 and in the first twelve days Of this
month it has reached the extraordinary total
Of $4,000 tons.
If the losses were to progress at this
rate it would be possible TO determine
pretty accurately when the people of Great
Britain and ireland would be starved into
submission, but for the moment there IS
little reason to apprehend an uninter-
rupted increase in submarine activity.
The first of March was supposed to
mark the beginning Of more ruthless
campaign than was ever attempted before,
vet i'm reality-if we are to accept the fig
ures quoted by Mr. Ridder-the British
losses in that month were less than in the
three weeks of the corresponding month
Of last year. Tirpitz's submarine blockade
began on February Is, 1915. The British
losses in the first three months, according
to the "Frankfurter lettings compila-
ton from German data. amounted to 2l6,-
600 tons. In the first three months Of the
present year the tonnage of vessels de-
stroyed came to 100000 If the number of
submarines has really been more than
trebIed as Mr. Ridder believes or imagines,
their efficiency is not clearly demonstrated
by his own figures, nor is it likely that be
cause of these losses Britain will, as he
hopes. "concede the hopelessness of an at
tempt to defeat Germany"
