are subjects of Austria-Hungary.
OF course the fact that we will
have to deal with Austrians in this
country will not change the real stat
us much, for none of them could be
more dangerous after theforrna1 dec
laration than now.
But are we permitting the enemy
to deliver a blow like that which
seems so sure in the explosion in
Halifax? It is possible to think of an
American munitions ship conducting
itself in such manner as to permit an
accident CT such tremendous proper
tons?
Such thing as an explosion fol
lowing a collision is possible, but
this kind Of disaster smacks of the
enemy We think of it having been
caused in no other way. Our govern
ment through policy, is not going to
admit it, 10 matter how we'll estab-
lished the fact may be. The records
that follow the investigation may
bear evidence OF such a hing, but the
general public will not know it if the
enemy blew up a munitions vessel for
us.
Enemy agents fill the country and
our own secret service works day and
night to stamp them out, and there
will be an occasional evidence Of
their work, but this menace should not
be permitted to block our otherwise
increasingly effective Shipping.

DOING THEIR BEST

Says the Dawson News
Some of the newspapers and politi-
clans in office who dearly love to get
in the spotlight as evidence of their
alertness for the public welfare are
disposed to scold the farmer for not
having planted large acreage in
grain. That's just what the farmers
has been most anxious to do for some
weeks past, and if his critics will have
sufficient rain to fall to moisten the
crusted earth and mellow the soil
there will be such sowing of oats and
wheat as Georgia has never known.

work and the German submarine
crews have suffered terrors unlike

tribesmen and sea-roving pirates
swarmed down from the north centu-
ries ago
on November % Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo announced that the
rates of insurance of the Bureau of
War-Risk insurance Of the Treasury
Department on all American steam
ers and cargoes traversng the War
Zone were reduced from percent to
4 percent
This is the second reduction of
these insurance rates, the first being
en- October 6, 1917, when the rate was
reduced from six and half percent
the same reason as the frst-that is
to five percent.
The new reduction was made
because Of a corresponding decrease
in the risk involved in traversing the
War Zone
This is official recognition of the
fact that since the American destroy
ers and other war vessels have gone
on duty in the War Zone the danger
from enemy submarines has greatly
decreased. The decrease from six and
half to four per cent is approx
matly 40 percent and speaks convirc-
ingly Of the efficiency Of the American
Navy.
One great func 'on mat The Liberty
Loan has performed is to render this
ship insurance possible, under the
