TRAPPING GERMAN SUBS.

Dispatches have told US repeatedly
that hostile submarines have been
caught in nets, but none of them have
indicated how it was done. This task
is essayed by a writer in THE Popular
Science Monthly" New York, july,
who says:
The English fleet is kept in the
Orkney islands, protected by great
steel chains woven in the form of SIM
pie nets which are not stationary but
mobile. If they were anchored so that
they could not be moved there is little
doubt but that the Industrious Ger
man commanders would find some way
of getting through occasionally.
The nets covering the grand fleet
are stretched out in great arms from
the shores of the islands, completely
covering the fleet. Various types of
enemy vessels have come steaming up
to these barriers, though, of course.
under water, in the effort to catch the
great fleet mapping. Whenever a dar-
ing commander has attempted such
coup he has always, so far, found him.
self not only nosing against a network
of great chains, but when he turned
to run he has found himself in a cir
cular net and doomed.
The British operations are simple.
A sharp lookout, and probably cleo
tric lookouts as well, keep the chain
operators informed as to what is GO
ing on. When an enemy submarine
enters the net its presence is soon
known and the operators, taking the
ends of the chain, draw it together
to form a circle. The trap is then
sprung The British wait until some
thing happens-until the submarine
comes cautiously to the surface to
look about, for there is nothing else
that the commander can do. Once up
he has the choice between destruction
by shell or surrender, and to the credit
of Germans it must be admitted that
very often the commander refuses to
surrender, hoping that some means of
escape may still lie open.
"The same sort of traps exist in the
English channel, where great chains

nets were certainly being used. and
that very probably the minor difficult

OWNERSHIP AND DEMOCRACY
By SCOTT NEARING

The present system of land owner
ship in the United States was justi-
fed on the ground that it would serve
as the economic background for true
democracy. The very foundation of
the American commonwealth was to
be every man a farm and every farm
a man" There was to be no citizen
who could not avail himself of this
opportunity.
The land was abundant-"eAhaust-
less"-the colonists said AS late as
1882 Henry Clay could say in dis
cussion on the public lands: I'VE
should rejoice that this bountiful re-
source (public land) possessed by our
country, remains in almost undimin-
ished quantity, notwithstanding so
many new and fiourishing states have
sprung up in the wilderness and so
many thousands of families have been
accommodated" Later in the same
speech, he said, regarding the public
lands: They are literally offered
in eXhaustless quantities, and at mod
crate prices. enriching individuals and
tending to the rapid improvement of
the country"
The land seemed eXhaustless. Who
could dream that the primitive endless
forests would one day disappear That
the stream of human life would over
flow the continent from shore to
shore?
All history was back of the idea of
individual land ownership. Whenever
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-09-29

nation grew, in which each man
owned his piece of the earth, these in
dividual job-owners had been able to
bid defiance to tyranny and oppres-
sion. Democracy flourishes wherever
there is an economic basis for the in
dependence which each man feels that
he has a right to demand, but which
he cannot hope to assert so long as
another man owns his job.
European feudalism concentrated
the ownership of practically all of the
land in the hands of the ruling class.
The pope, the king, the duke, the
prince-the whole earthly hierarchy of
church and state was built in a way
that was calculated to place the econ
omic opportunities which the owner
ship of agricultural land afforded, in
the hands of a small ruling clique
Democracy was impossible under that
plan, so our forefathers moved to the
United States.
Today, in the United States, the
frontier has been reached, and anew,
we are creating a small group that
owns the economic advantages-th
jobs of the country. If that system
prevails in the United States, democ-
racy is doomed. 1t is impossible TO
maintain democracy in the absence of
its economic basis. Before America
can be made safe for democracy,
Americans must own the jobs at which
they work. Democracy can survive on
no other foundation.
