rs THE U-boat only playing 'possum!
That is a fair question in view of the
~ relatively disappointing U-boat news
of the last week In the House of Commons
Llovd George in optimistic vein tells Of
the sinking Of five submarines in one day,
while a week ago the submarines sank but
one large British ship. So able naval
critic as Arthur Pollen also views the sub
marine as defeated. Only month ago
premiums on shipping risks were reduced
by the American government. Without
difficulty one can easily build up plausi-
BILE story to the effect that the pests of
the sea" are really being eliminated. Yet
on Thursday reports showed rise in sink
ings.
c. w. Gilbert declared in The Tribune
that the general feeling in Washington Is
that the submarine has been defeated. The
low figures, he says, Of losses by U-boats
follow long series Of steadily reducing
losses. The process, it seems, has been
continuous. The depth bomb is given
great deal Of credit for what has been ac-
complished There is well authenticated
story in Washington that by means Of
these bombs sixteen submarines have been
destroyed in three weeks.
"And it is extremely important" Mr..
/ Gilbert observed, chat the submarine it.
/ self should be beaten, and not merely that
/ the convoy system shotld succeed in reduc-
/ ing sinkings. 1t is easy to extract too
much comfort from the reports, for while
/ losses are small, the submarine is still
producing powerful effect. AS long as it
remains a menace shipping cannot be used
effectively"
Arthur Pollen, the famous British naval
expert and inventor Of most of the range
finding devices now in use by the fleets OF
the world, made statement TO The Asso-
ciated Press in which he stated that the
submarine is beaten, signifying the col
lapse Of German power. Also, a message
received by the United States radio STA
ton at Lyons quoted news from Zurich,
Switzerland, TO the effect that one Of the
principal champions Of ruthless submarine
warfare the German naval critic, Captain
Persius, admits that the campaign Of the
U-boat will end in a failure, so far as it
was calculated TO cut of England's sup
plies in few months

Concerning the two solutions suggested
complete government control, or govern
ment regulation under private manage
ment-a wide difference Of opinion exists
among the members of the joint committee
of the Senate and House on interstate
commerce which has just closed hearings
in San Francisco. AS reported in 1.-THE
Christian Science Monitor:
"a possible course of action which Senator
Cummins said had been put before the COM
mittee involved the consolidation Of all the
railroads in the country in one gigantic cor
poration, the amalgamation to be brought
about by means of condemnation proceedings,
the roads to be operated under private own
crship, subject to some degree of Federal con-
troll 1t was also proposed by Senator Cum
minis that this plan of Federal incorporation
might be carried out by organizing the rail
! Dads OF the country into from five to te..
great regional corporations, on geographical
basis these corporations working harmonious

the war; that shipyards are short of men and
women, and that all labor which can be saved
from unnecessary work and diverted to the
shipyards will have a direct effect on winning
the war. | repeat that we must have
increased output in marine engine ships and
shipyards'
1.-THE New York World" is quite certain
Germany will not abandon the U-boat, and
believes that it will strike again. "and.
positively, where we least expect it."
1t is quite possible that the falling off
is due to the migration of the U-boats,
declares "The Springfield Republican"
which strikes a new note thus:
'lf this is the case it would be natural 10
suppose that they had migrated to the Med
iterranean to assist in the isolation of
Italy. In favor of this conjecture is the
fact that in previous autumns temporary
shifting Of military activity TO the Mediter-
ranean basis has been paralleled by the
movements of the U-boats. There is not, to
be sure, quite the same motive as when the
scope Of General Sarrails operations at
Saonica was in doubt, yet submarines might
play part in the campaign against Italy.
Its shortage of supplies of all kinds is we'll
known, and must be met. But in the main
it must be met by the diversion Of shipping,

Is the U-Boat Beaten or Is 1t Just Playing Possum

"The New York Evening Post" observed
that 1.-The most cautious Of observers can
not escape the conviction that if the Uboat
has not definitely failed it is on its way to
failure" And "The New York Herald"
presented the two sides Of the proposition
Of rejoicing, declaring that when opti-
mism does not overshoot the mark it cheers
the heart and accepts blindly the pipings
of intruding experts; but it often consti-
tutes a danger, because it fails to run the
scale between present intention and cum
ningly disguised expected results"
Says "The New York Times" there may
be U-boats enough, but not the men to
operate them. 1t was six weeks after the
muntiny in the fleet that the significant
news of it reached the outer world. "The
Times" believes that the sailors are still in
a state of rebellion and the facts have been
suppressed and that may be the cause for
the U-boat failure.
Evidently, this paper went on to say,
the ruthless school" has been losing faith.
Why? Well
"the stronger patrol of the Allied fleets, the
havoc wrought by the depth bomb, the diff
Guilty of breaking through conveys escorting

the German Admiralty that the game
up. But this would not explain a collapse of
the campaign, would not explain last weeks
tally dwindling almost to nothing. Is deep
game being played by the willy and ever re-
sourceful German government? Is it con-
ceiyable that, submarine frightfulness being
destined to failure, there will be a resort to
audacious propaganda to influence public
opinion in the United States against con
tinuation of the war;"
On the other hand, there are pessimists
regarding the defeat of the U-boat. The
first of these is this weeks submarine toll
seventeen ships in all, ten Of them over
500 tons, against six the week before,
only one being over 1000 tons. More
over, Sir Eric Geddes, First Lord of the
British Admiralty, as well as Secretary
Daniels declare that the decreasing toll of
merchant ships does not prove that the
U-boat is defeated. New tonnage,
Geddes points out, is not yet keeping pace
with destruction. He said week ago:
81 see no reason in what has happened
since, or in the favorable results of the last
week, to qualify or modify in any way what |
have said as publicly as possible, that the
calls upon the merchant shipping Of the

How Wilson Became
President
T Under the above caption the "Koel.

II Under the above caption the "Koel-
nische Zeitung" quotes from the
"Oesterreichische Rundschau" a
paragraph which curiously illustrates the
German propensity for propagating leg
ends about American matters. The
Paragraph, which processes to emanate
from IMAM we'll acquainted with Ameri-
can affairs" runs as follows:
I'm his History OF the United State, Of
America Wilson, in strong contrast to his
present views, characterized the form of gov
eminent of the United States as one of the
worst, but the Prussian administrative or
ganization as the most perfect one Perhaps
1t was for this cause that the book found
very poor sales. At any rate. the publisher
OF wilson's history was left with an unsold
edition OF several hundred thousand copies
on his hands. Now, when the Governor Of
New Jersey died this book publisher, a very
influential man. took an interest in The
former university professor Woodrow Will
son. who was looking around for profitable
position. The publisher was able to induce
the press of that state TO support him, with
the result that Wilson was elected, and the
clever bookseller got rid .of the stored up
edition of his history OF the United States.
In this way Wilson took the first step up
the ladder of political life"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-11-25

Pausing to ask what England has done
with her railroads under similar circum-
stances, "The Chicago Herald" points out
that there, as here, the management Of
the railroads has been left in the hands
of private Individuals On the other hand,
the British government guarantees the
railroads an income equal to that OF 1913
an average year. If revenues fall be-
low that level the government pays the
difference. If revenues exceed that level
the government gains the difference. Sec
ond, the wage problem is handled differ
emily there. Instead Of increases in
wages, labor gets wages plus bonuses, the
latter at first being shared half and half
by railroads and government, but now
wholly shouldered by the government FL
nally, the British government also makes
allowance for adequate maintenance of
railroad equipment.
Meantime, the wage question agitating
the American railway heads in the way
of demands by the workers continues to
exude a good deal more smoke than flame.
While admitting that there will be no
strike, the trainmen are insisting on a
showdown, and, in rebuttal to the cry
that their demands are excessive, point
out the fact that thousands of the men,
bers of the Brotherhood Of Railroad Fire
men and Enginemen are earning only
$3.50 per day.
