LONDON. Sept. 20 = Not until Ger many has been floored for the ten. count, will the world have a peep at the mysterious odd shaped fighters that are beating the submarine today In England they are referred to vague ly as mystery shipsp and hush boats.' Imaginative people give them fantastic shapes and endow them with powers beyond the dreams of the greatest naval designers. So perhaps the land faring folk will be disappointed when it's all over and the hush boats come out of the haze to be looked at by seaport visitors.
 Privileged visitors to the great na val bases are extremely reticent about the hush boats. For weeks the news. papers have been limiting about some thing they know but have crossed their hearts not to tell - something about the new and mysterious sea rowdies which despise naval footwork but prefer to rush in headlong and scrap it out with the u-boat till one Dr the other goes dcwnt

A FITTING SLOGAN.
(The Outlook.l

The most significant speech at a recent peace
meeting in New York city was also the shortest.
1t was single sentence shouted out from the cen
ter of the hall by an unknown orator:
ITO hell with America"
This is fitting slogan for the German armies
abroad and their allies in this country 1t been
their war cry for two years and a half, but never
before SO tersey expressed.
America has long believed that arbitration Ia bet
ter than war a method Of settling intcrna tional
disputes When, in July, 1914. England, France.
Italy. and Russia urged Austria and Germany to
settle their disputes with Serbia by arbitration the
answer of Germany was To hell with arbitration.
America believes that treaties are sacred agree
ments and should be sacredly observed. Germany
had by solemn treaty guaranteed the neutrality OF
Belgium. When her armies invaded Belgium in
violation of that treaty. her answer to the unuttered
protest OF the civilized world was, To hell with
treaties.
President Lincoln in the Civil war formulated and
America adopted certain rules OF warfare since ac-
cepted in substance at Tho Hague by the civilized
world They included respect for the rights OF
nor. combatants. The Zeppelin invasion OF Eng
land. dropping OF bombs unfortifed villages and
massacring defenseless and children
hummed in the air the song of hate. To he'll with
non -combatants.
America believes in the freedom of the seas and
fought the war of 1912 to defend 1t against the
greatest naval power In the world. Germany has
sunk unarmed and unwarned merchant vessels
the ocean. buryng in n common grave hundreds of
nnoffending passengers. BY deeds that speak
louder than words she has shouted the waste
OF waters to us and to all neutral nations. To hell
with the freedom of the seas
America is founded the principle that just
governments formed to protect the inalienable
right of to life. liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness Wherever the German armies have gone
they have carried with them to the lands they have
invaded DEATH despotism and unparalleled misery.
Germany openly proposes to our southern
neighbor to join with her in bringing similar hoo-
caust of calamity upon own land. Truly Is her
policy described by the unknown orator Of the peace
meeting in the memorable sentence, ITO hell with
America"
BY her deeds Germany has written in letters of
fire and blood which time may extinguish but his
tory can never forget. the purpose which has actu-
ated her: To hell with that principle OF liberty and
! that spirit of brotherhood which the corner

tuition and embazoned in history

MONDAY MORNING. APRIL g. 1917.
CUBA.

We take off our hat to the little island republic
down on the caribbean. She did 1t with gallantry
and the big American republic appreciates the spirit
of her action.
When the roll was called in the Cuban senate
upon the resolution to declare state of exist
ing between Cuba and Germany, the vote
unanimous: when the roll was called In the Cuban
house OF representatives. upon the resolution
every single representative responded AYE"
When they tell us in the future that Latin
American republics have no friendship for the
United States. we will say, You mistaken"
Of course the people Of Cuba owe their all to the
people Of the United States. Still 1t might have
happened that when the critical time came the little
republic. like Individuals might have conveniently
eliminated the word gratitude from its vocabulary:
all the more honor to them that they have shown
by their action that they have not forgotten They
did not haggle about terms and they acted promptly
and decisively.
In Offering to arm and equip n division Of 10000
men to march with wherever the fortune Of war
shall demand. they show that they are willing to
back brave words with brave deeds.
But the greatest aid and assistance that can come
to the United states, by of the Cuban declar-
alton is that of affording ports bases
for ships free from the handicap OF the pro-
vision Of International law that ships of war OF a
belligerent nation may only remain In a neutral
port for hours and then only take on sufficient
fuel and water enable them to reach their near
est home port
Cuba's action places at the disposal of this gov
eminent every port In Cuba and all of the resources
OF the island for navy and eliminates the pos
sibility of her shores being clandestinely used by
German submarines in their warfare upon American
commerce.
The action OF Cuba will undoubtedly have a dis
tinct bearing upon the course pursued by Central
and South American countries. The recent sinking
of n Brazilian ship by n German submarine has
accentuated the hostile feeling already existing in
that country and declaration Of war may follow
within the few days
Nearly all of the South American republics have
entered protest against the Iiratcal submarin
policy Of Germany and most Of will follow the
example set by Cuba. Only in Argentina is there
a serious division of sentiment owing to the large
German population and financial interest there
Only in Mexico has there been any real antagon n
ism to the United States and Mexico had now bet
ter be good With million men in the field Uncle
Sam will be less patient with Mexican foolishness
