GERMAN SEA RAID SEEN
As PART OF PROGRAM

WASHINGTON. Jan. ts--The German
commerce raid feat OF South America IS
regarded here as a new spectacular coup
In series by Germany.
Authorities hold, however, that while
gigantic on the surface the raid is only
drop in the bucket" compared to the
string Of slnkings accomplished by sub
marines And they fah 30 see where it
presages tho opening Of any new victorious
warfare by Germany
They say only an occasional raider can
operate and then not for long, due to the
Allied wnrships dottiug the oceans.
What Germany will do about sea war
fare, especially submarinings cannot he
Eauged. officials said, by the activity OF
the raider. Germany is accomplishing the
destruction daily of eight to fifteen or
twenty ships OF varying tonnage by her
submarines and these sinkings now go
virtually unnoticed
The spectacular elements Of the raid in
South America are what make II important,
whereas from strategic point Of view
the raid can accomplish only temporary
fright or nervousness for Allied shipping,
according to experts views.
While tho raider work is before the
public reports are current that not only Is
Germany planning tho spectacular return
Of the subsea freighter Deutschland but
that larger sister ship will dock in New
London or Somewhere else in America"
with her.

BIG ALLIED FLEET
IN SEARCH FOR RAIDER

LONDON, Jan. 49,
powerful fleet Of British and French
warshps is securing the Atlantic today
for the new terror Of the seas a German
raider that is accredited with having sunk
or captured more than score OF merchant
ships
Following tho official announcement of
the Admiralty admitting the loss Of a
dozen British and French ships, it became
known here today that at least ten British
warships are taking part in the search.
y search is being made up and down
the American coast and Off the southern
part of the United states. As tho men-of-
war look for their quarry they are sending
out wireless warnings to merchant ships.
British and French consular representa-
tives have gathered important information
from the refugees of lost ships that were
landed at Pernambuco from the Japanese
ship Hudson Maru.
The sea-fugltives were unable to give the
name of the raider, but from their descrip-
ton it was supposed that the ship formerly
was the Nincta. She is well armed with
guns and torpedo tubes and carries n
large and well-trained crew.
In addition to the search for the COM
merce raider the Allied fleet Is attempting
to locate her base. for 1t is supposed that
she is operating from some supply point on
the South or Central American coast.
Whether the raider will take fight into
some other part of the worlds seven seas
is not known, nut even II she neeS into
the Pacific she will run the risk of encoun-
tering Japanese warshlps that will be on
the lookout for her there.
The vessels known to have been sunk or
captured aggregate about $1,000 tons.
The German ship began her depredations
about December IL, ana was active as late
as January H. Instead of striking at
the north Atlantic steamship lane, she went
on to the south Atlantic and swooped down
on the traffic highways between South
American ports and Europe Evidently
she feared to venture into tho north At
lantic because Of the big fleets which are
constantly on guard there.
The Admiralty is making an investiga-
ton of the reports of destruction of other
ships in addition to those named in the
official announcement, particularly the sink
ing of one vessel in which 400 lives were
rumored to have been lost.
1t has been thought for some time that
n German raider was loose on account of
the increasing number of overdue ships,
but the official announcement has caused
a big increase In marine insurance rates
The fact that the raider is still at large
was an important factor in boosting rates
Not since the days of the Emden have
shipping circles been so perturbed over
the German menace. While the British
deplore the loss of shipping. naval men pay
tribute to the daring of the German sea-
men and the skill with which they have
raided commerce without being captured
The raiding ship was described as n

J. A. L. Waddell, New York con-
sulting engineer, has written letter
in which he urges young men to pre-
pare themselves for technical work.
He thinks those already pursuing tech
micah studies should complete them
rather than volunteer for general war
service. 1.-THE call to arms in this
country by both volunteering and con-
scription it is feared will soon have
reduced to about one-half the attend
ance at the technical schools of the
United States, while instead of being
halved it ought properly TO be dou-
bled," says Mr.. Waddell. 1.-THE larger
part of the civilized world will have
to be reconstructed after the war, not
excluding our own great railroad sys-
TEN, which undoubtedly will have de-
Perforated on account of over use and
lack of adequate upkeep."

A PATRIOTIC MEETING.

The largest crowd ever gathered to.
gether in the Wauwatosa High School
assembly hall was the one held on
Friday evening under the auspices of
the Wauwatosa branch of the Loyalty
Legion. All seemed to be of the same
opinion, and the Wauwatosa branch
of the Wisconsin Loyalty Legion in
Wauwatosa will no doubt be one of the
largest in the state Many signed the
pledge cards at the meeting.
Mr.. Willet M. Spooner, son of that
most able and patriotic statesman,
John G.. Spooner, was the principal
speaker of the evening and he did ex-
plain and bring things out to the sat
isfaction of all present, and Robert M.
La Toilette came in for his disloyal at
titude, as did also the Milwaukee Free
Press. If there is a paper in the state
which is controlled by subjects or

( one. We happen to know of at least
one of it's staff and we can recall when
his people landed in a little town in
Grant County from over the sea, and
did not have much of this worlds
goods, but they were helped by good
American people and they have pros
pered in the good old United States,
and still they stick up for their father
| land and are doing all in their power
| against the land that made them, 1.-The
best land on the face of the earth"
We are coming to point and coming
fast when such as the above will be
dealt with in short order. We wish to
say to all who are disloyal have a

sented by Mr.. Lynn S. Pease and
which was adopted by unanimous

| The Wauwatosa News is patriotic

see to it that every act or word spo-
ken against the government is brought
to our attention If you have anything
