THE U-BOAT

II is rather distressing to contemplate .ne ~
- IL-hoats. but it is a gratifying feature that the
british newspapers are starting an agitation 70
force the admiralty toward more efficient de1ehse
on the sea. .rv
4s,,ccess is the only thing that counts IN war
.ova ana London newspaper critic, in demanding
III restoration Of Sir Edward Carson, the admi-
rally U-boat chaser.
Tia declaration Of Admiral Beresford IN the
ho,,ae II commons that the admiralty reports on
II-hoat depredations are misleading" seems 10 pc
J fact and is further evidence that the Carson re-
o;re il falling to meet the situation effectively.
Tbe Reresford charge was that the admiraltys
weekly reports refer only to British SHIPS sum-
;ororinp the large numbers OF neutral cralt SEM
down. when as a matter of fact virtually all neu-
tral craft in the barred zone are bringing sup
niles to England, and when sunk, are as damaging
= III al,;ed cause as if they were British ships.
IN the other hand, the admiraltys weekly report
If 4sailines" to and from British ports lncluoe
british and neutral vessels. This evidently Sly
trick to deceive the allied public received the re-
luke II deserved. The allied nations-ot whon
10 are now a member-do not want fake lnforma'
tion. which is like chloroform, intended TO iul VI
~ sleep under the guise of false security.
Calmer seas and longer days are giving tne
II-boats and their mine-layers a better opportunity
II damage the allied merchant fleets, and II tne
Rr;t;sh admiralty has failed to meet the danger
effectively it will prove a potent aid to the KAISER

IN GERMANY

G ASAA
nAA |,
One of the sure signs OF allied Vlc1oly Al
moral sense is the news from Germany tnat the
military a~utocracy is to yield suffrage reforms TO
the German people latter the wal"
AS is well known, the ballots in Germany oe-
mend upon wealth. The rich man has many more
votes than the poor man, and often a community
of rich men can outvote an entire district OF orol-
nary folks.
From time immemorial there has been grum-
hing in Germany regarding the selection OF meH-
hers for the reichstag. This is done by Votlhg'
ike in other enlightened countries, but under such
restrictions that the strength OF the common
people is nullifed in reichstag representation
This added to the strength OF the common
neop]e is also divided among three or four partles'
which singly amounts to little in the relchstag' tne
d;ficultv of the Germans voice being effectively
hoard in the national councils is obvious Only
nv combining three or more parties Is .
majority possible in the reichstag.
The .eJunker" or aristocracy in the reichstag
has had full sway for years, and has been largely
responsible for the aggressive national poncy'
The German people themselves have not Deen iooA-
ing for trouble it has been the "JunKers VINO
made it for them. Their power is due to wane OUT
Of the sun after the present war.

Look heah niggers, listen to me;
De bans ~a-playin' "Oh say can yo' see?"

Cause ole Uncle Sans gwine to need yo hep
Eff yo's got a gun and yo' can't shoot,
JUS stick er razor in yo' boot.
Us cullud boys kin make er dash;
Eff we can't shoot, we sho' can slash,
Don't let no German 'fuence you
To yo' country and "Ole Glory" to be untrue
Ell yo' can't fight; Amt got no vim.
Write Uncle Sam and tell 1t to him "
Cause hits sho' and sartin yo' must do yo' bit
So cit yo' self ready to 'comphsh nit,
When the ban plays Dixie" wherever yo' at
Salute, stan straight and grab yo' hat.
We want de white folk to watch our shine,
An honor us in de ightin' line;
we amt got no place for niggers that shirl
War amt picknickin' hits mostly work.
De stars and Stripes, dat's our sign,
IL hol,, ourselves ready TO get in line;
So fall right in benin de ban,
An do yo' duty like 9 true black man.
