100000 bushels Of wheat from
5000, 900 acres this season-it being
now harvest time in that topsy-
turvy southern world-and that 1t is
q record breaker because an extra
million acres was sown at the re-
quest Of the imperial government.

do when national necessities require.

OUR INADEQUATE SCHOOL
FACILITIES

Nearly every time the Board Of
Education :::,ss!s it receives new
budget CT complaints from parents
about oYsrcrow,ling in schools. All
the board can do is refer them to a
cnn,mj'tee, go over the crowded
schGe, to see whether one or two
pupils msy ros be transferred, and
let j. so AZ that.
Sc:'.a tine within the next few
years this community will have to
impress upon Congress the need for
an adoqpato school building pro-
gram. In the northeast, in Pet
worth, and Brightwood, and in a
circle all about the edges of the city
are schools so crowded that health
is endangered and education handi-
capped.
Likewise there are old buildings
that need to be replaced. They have
been freproofed, but no amount Of
repair can give them modern light
ing and ventilation. In some cases
they are difficult to heat. Before
long the parents who now make &C.
casional appeals are going to unite
and organize a city-wide movement
to demand adequate facilities.
There have been individual cases
Of children kept out Of public schools

WHAT CAN GERMANY sAYp

Precisely what Germany can say
in response to the latest American
note on submarine warfare is a hard
question. Perhaps there is nothing
for her to say, 1t would seem that
the President had in mind to- end
the discussion, in its present phase,
and to save Germany from the
necessity Of rejoinder. He said
everything that required to be said,
and said 1t SO plainly and pointedly
that there is no need of answer ex-
cept by acts, and no room for I'M
certainty about the next step If the
acts are of the sort to which this
Government feels compelled to take
exception.
There is one reassuring feature in
the situation. That is that for a
considerable period, despite that the
submarines have been very active
and their "bag" haG been a consid-
cradle one, the rules Of warfare laid
down by this Government have been
observed. The Cymric is just as eff
fectively at the bottom of the seas
as if she had been sent there with a
crew of Americans aboard. Perhaps
Germany will be able to show that
submarines can be used, effectively
and yet within the law Of the sea
as that law has been defined by the
United States. If so, this Govern
ment will be the last to object; our
own military necessities might
make the submarine a very useful
weapon in our hands at some time in
the future. The Administration has
exercised commendable caution in
protecting our own interests in this
regard.

A REAL PREPAREDNESS
ACHIEVEMENT

The new Assistant Secretary of
War, Mr.. Ingraham, made his first
appearance as speaker here last
night before the Chamber of Com
merce. He talked on preparedness
from a most refreshing angle-that
Of the man who has really helped
some one prepare!
As mayor of Portland, Me-, Mr..
Ingraham was instrumental, with
Admiral Peary, in getting the cham
Der of commerce Of that city to go
out into its financial highways and
byways and collect $4,000 to estab-
lish a branch of the coast
patrol system it Is proposed to es-
tablish.
Mr.. Ingraham's address was a re-
cital of an accomplishment by a set
Of business men for preparedness as
a business proposition. He said that
Portland, with $4,000 inhabitants,
had contributed money for the pur-
chase Of hydro-aeroplane with
which to establish a coast patrol, be-
cause they regarded it rs a business
proposition. They wanted to Re in a
position to see very soon any enemy
that might come to this country.
But they had another prrnose as
well. They sought TO establish e
coast patrol because It could be of
value in time of pence for the pro-
lection Of shipping, and for Weather
Bureau service. The patrol could fly
100 miles out to sea and be far more
valuable than the present Coast
Guard in sighting vessels in distress.
Likewise Mr.. Ingraham told the
Chamber that the coast patrol sta-
,tion is manned by the naval militia
and the training of naval militia in
use Of the aeroplane is a good thing.
1t builds up an interest in the or
ganization and gives it standing in
the community.
For all these reasons-and speak
ing as a man who had accepted
them, impressed them on his COM
munity, and secured action on them

WHY CAN'T cON0RESSMEN
UNDERSTANDS

Don't the members Of the House
of Representatives realize that the
eyes Of the country are on them?
Can't they understand that IL they
prevent the passage Of a reasonably
adequate army bill, and il thereafter
a disaster takes place In Mexico,
they are going to have TO answer to
the country for II?
Must they refuse to open their
eyes and see that this is no time to
haggle over details, while the coun-
try has one war on its hands and
another. possible?,
It is beyond all comprehension
that men who are supposed to rep
resent the national interest, to be
custodians Of the national safety and
honor, should be SO absolutely besot-
ten in their narrowness and partisan
ship as to refuse to make even real
beginning Of preparation for condi-
tions after those conditions have be-
COmc uendCe.
It is yet more amazing that these
men. supposed to have at least some
political sense, should refuse to con-
slider their own skins-political skins
i'm such a crisis.
The country is going to vote in
November. It will determine and
avow what it thinks of men who
take such positions.
II there shall be war in Mexico
before November-and there is war
there right now, in everything but
name-the casualty list among men,
bers of Congress whose records
prove their responsibility will be
something to stagger humanity.

CONNECTING TnH PLorTHRs

Three Germans, Robert Fay,
Walter Scholz, and Paul Daeche, have
been convicted at New York on
charges Of plotting to destroy NUM-
ton carrying ships by attaching
bombs to them. Fay has confessed
to being German army. officer, who
came here from the western fighting
line to carry on his unlawful activi-
ties.
II Is minated that Fay Is about
prepared to make more sweeping
confession than has been involved in
any Of his previous statements, and
this opens the inquiry whether fur
Their revelations are in prospect, i'm
plicating German government au-
thority in the plots in this country.
There is reason to suspect that these
plots have endangered the good re-
lstions between this country and
Germany quite as seriously as have
the submarine activities Of Germany.
Not so much has been known con-
corning the exact measure Of Ger
man government implication, but It
is generally understood that the po-
sition is grave one, which may
presently require discussion between
the two governments of a very diff
ferent series Of questions than those
relating to rights ut sea.
Austria has had no ambassador
here for some months. The diplo-
matte relations between the two
countries have not, however, been
severed. More recently there have
been revelations of German activities
here, and strong limitations Of yet
more sensational matters which have
not come to public knowledge, that
suggest the imminence of a new
crisis in the two countries relations
