THE DEUTSCHLAND RETURNS

Capt. Paul Koenig is in America
again! For the second time he has pi-
loted his merchant submarine across
the Atlantic under the noses of the
Allied blockading squadron. He avoid
ed suspicious ships seven times by
diving under them and was battered
around by a storm which was so heavy
that at times his ship averaged a
speed of about one knot an hour.
He denies the loss of the America,
reported captured, saying that it nev-
er existed, but he admits that sister
submarine, the Bremen, left Germany
on September 26, and has not been
heard from. He thinks that this boat
has been destroyed through a mine or
an accident.
The German embassy has proposed
that this merchant ship carry 800
pounds of first-class mail with her
when she returns to Germany and the
postoffice department has announced
its willingness to accept the PROPOSE
tion. This would be the first uncen-
sored mail to Germany since the be-
ginning of the war and might help
the exchange of securities between
the countries.
The cargo of the Deutschland is said
to- contain ten million dollars worth of
dyestuffs and drugs, with possible
stocks and bonds. On her return trip
she will carry $50O,OOO worth Of rub
ber and nickel, although it's value will
be much more in Germany. Capt.
Koenig hopes to return before the
New Year and declares that there may
be other such merchant ships by that
time.

MEXICO APPEARS TO BE
CHAOTIC

Advices from Mexico are not very
reassuring. The fact that Gen. Car
ranza's wife and the wife of his leader
are in this country on a pleasure
tour" lends confirmation to the ru-
mors of the fall of the first chieftain.
Gen. Villa, if such he can be called,
appears to be taking the offensive with
success and the important city of Chi
huahua is supposed to. be his object
i've. In fact, some dispatches point
out that the Carranza commander is
thinking of evacuating this city of
northern Mexico.
These reports practically conclude
al chance of the withdrawal of Gen.
Pershing's force. The national guard
now on the border will probably be re-
tanned there until developments show
which way the wind is blowing in
Mexico.

NO APOLOGIES, NO PREDICTIONS

The Leader makes no predictions as
to who will be elected and who will
not. 1t earnestly hopes that the men
best fitted for the different offices will
be chosen to serve the people. AS for
President Wilson, his record of the
past four years-four of the most try
ing years any president, except Lin
coin, ever passed notwithstanding
to our way of thinking, should be suf-
fcient to place him again at the head
of the nation. To praise President
Wilson more than he merits would re-
quire the coinage of new words. He
may have made mistakes, in some in
stances, but his errors have been few
considering the gigantic propositions
which he has been compelled to han
die. We sincerely hope that Woodrow
Wilson will be entrusted with the des-
tinies of the nation for another four
years, and if this power is again given
to him by the people we will rest as
sured that peace Will be maintained
if it is possible with honor and dig
nifty.
AS for the candidates for governor
we hope that W. V. Knott will be the
choice of the people on Tuesday next
We believe that Mr.. Knott is the man
best fitted for the office.
In the county offices it is for the
people to decide whom they desire tc
serve them. If they are convinced
that any of the nominees for re-elec'
ton have proven unworthy of the con-
fidence of the people, there is no law
compelling a citizen to vote against
his convictions.
When the election is over and the
returns all in let US accept the decis-
ions of the people, whether they coin
eide with our personal opinions and

CLIPPINGS FROM

The correspondent of the Evening
Post who accompanies Mr.. Hughes
says that che talks faster than most
people think" which may explain
some things. Perhaps the candidates
own thinking apparatus is not keeping
up with his conversation.-New York
World.
The evening leader., 1916-11-04

One of the joys of living is the SER
vice which you render and the recep-
ton which it gets. But don't fail to
render the service when the reception
is cold. That's life!
So often we find bad feeling existing
between merchants handling the same
line Of goods. This is poor policy and
they should forget their commercial
rivalry and be friendly.
Rome has figured that Austria only
has three million men on the war
fronts. By comparing what Austria
has done with what Italy has accom-
plished we presume that the Italian
capital would conclude that there were
a hundred thousand Italians engaged.
We heard man say the other day
that newspapers didn't publish the
truth. We are willing to bet that the
same talker would not dare to tell one
half of the truth about himself.
The keel of the California has been
laid at Mare Island. 1t is expected to
be ready for service by January, 1919
In the meantime there is no telling
just how soon we may wish it was

Wednesday, November IS, 1916.

A New York woman, who has just
returned from Berlin says that the
cost of living there today in spite OF
the war is materially less than in New
York, That, fish vegetables, fruits
and other necessaries sell in nearly
all cases for less than similar foods
in this country. This is striking
commentary on the cost OF living in
this country and the question is going
TO be acute before spring. Coal In
many places is above so per ton;
-four is sl2 per barrel; corn meal is
$40 per hundred; potatoes are sl.5O
per bushel: butter Is 40 cents per
pound, eggs are so cents per dozen;
and all these prices are going up and
other things in proportion. There Is
legitimate rise on most OF these
things. but in many cases such as
coal the raise Is largely case OF ex.
tortion by powerful interests. The
new federal trade commission should
be given power to regulate prices and
10 punish extortion Don't blame the
retailer In many instances he isn't
setting as much profit as he was be-
fore. Blame the guilty parties and
urge congress TO act If necessary an
embargo on food and fuel should be
enforced for a time
