IL FALLIMENTO DELLA
CAMPAGNA DI
OISTRUZIONE

LONDRA, %. - L'ammira-
gliato inglese considera la cam
pagna del sottomarini teutonici
come un vero e proprio fallimen-
to.
Difatti, gil stessi tedeschi cal
colarono che datare dal 1.o feb
braio avrebbero affondato men
silmente tanti piroscaf per Fam
montare di un milione di tOnnel-
late, il che rappresenterebbe una
media di 1888 al giorno.
Orbene nei primi Is giorni del
la loro campagna non sono state
distrutte che 234.696 tonnellate,
vale a dire 1885 tonnellate al
giornO.
Anche calcolando, come fan
no i tedeschi, che la marina in
glese sia di II milioni di tonnel-
late, occorrerebbero 1881 giorni
per distruggerla.
Sta in fatto, invece, che al 10
febbraio la marina commerciale
inglese pOssedeVa pirOscafi con
15,85O,OOO di tonnellaggio COM
plessivo.
Inoltre, man mano che i vapori
sono affondati, cantieri inglesi
Ii sostituiscono costruendone del
nuovi.
Cost dal principle della guer-
ra di 4 milioni di tonnellate di-
strutte ire milioni sono state
rimpiazzate con nuovi bastimen-
| ii.
Infne, ALA marina inglese So
no da aggiungersi quelle memo
numerose, ma sempre considere-
vol, delpItalia, della Francia e
della Russia.

LIE autorita' in carica di un po-

ia degli Stati Unit, in Albany,
avevano telegrafato ad un giu-
dice della Suprema Corte di
Hudson, significandogli che la
Marina non era il ricettacolo del
criminal. 81 ricordera' che il
detto giudice, Werley Howard,
aveva sospesa la sentenza due
giovanni colpevoli di furto con
iscasso, perche' 81 arruolassero
negli equipaggi della fiotta.
Ora Pesempio e. state seguito,
perche' il capitano Emil P. Laur,-
son, che sta a capo di una sta
zione di reclutamento, pure in
Albany, ha rifiutato di accettare
nelPesercito un giovane accusato
di furto e mandate libero dallo
stesso giudice.

sion is something never to be
forgotten by those who were the
city's guests. Every private
home in the city was thrown
open for the reception of their
visitors over night, aud not one
cent did it cost a living soul of
the guests. f-
And now it is for the good
people of Baca county to get
busy. Every foot of these roads
want to be graded from
the Kansas line to the north of
the county, a great deal of which
work will have TO be done by
private subscription.
The towns particularly of
Springfield, Villas, Stonington,
and Wentworth. and the farmers
all along this route, having ac-
cess to and tile use OF the road,
will want to contribute literally,
and then it will be up to the
county and state to do the rest.

What is bothering our board
of strategy now is as to whether
Villa will take advantage of the
DISTRACTED state of the public mind
over the Impending crisis with
Germany and make a sudden
dash through the passes of the
Twin Buttes and thus by sur
prise attack overcome the small
Sentinel garrison at the import
ant post of 9 Buttes, OF whether
the move against 2 Buttes and
the segregation is only a feint, to
cover the final great drive of his
battalions against Ft. Carrizo,
by crossing over from the Mus
tang to the Freezeout. and from
that vantage point shut off the
unsuspecting Carrizans from
their base of supplies; as, should
he succeed in either design the
fate of the garrisons would seem
to be sealed, the next few days
will be watched with feverish in
terest.
