by the patriotic act of an old soldier
in California, the Navy department is
sued call today asking the public to
contribute for war service such binoc-
ulars, spy-glasses and telescopes as
may now be in private hands. There
is a great shortage of these observa-

The suggestion was found in the

"a years, and who is now an inmate

hope it may be of service on one of

glad to know it can be put into
service"
The binoculars which accompanied
the letter, Secretary Daniels an
nounced, have been gladly accepted
and will be put into immediate use

hands throughout the country" said
Secretary Daniels.
"The navy is in need of binoculars,
spy-glasses and telescopes. 1t is a
we'll known fact that up to very re-
Gently the United States imported
practically all lenses for the better
class Of observation glasses, and even
now the American facilities are not
adequate to supply the greatly in
creased demand for use on the hun
dreds of new ships which are being
placed in commission.
1T is believed that many owners
would gladly turn them over to the
government for use in war. 1t makes
little difference how old these glasses
are, as long as they are in serviceable
condition.
"As the government cannot accept
property or service without compensa-
ton, 81 will be paid for each glass ac-
cepted. They should be forwarded di-
rect to Franklin D. Roosevelt, assist

made. 1t is requested that tag
bearing the name and address of the
donor be securely attached to the

FARMERS OPPOSE
BIG ADVANCE IN
FREIGHT Rates
Urge Consolidation Of All
Unions in One for Mutual
Benefit of All Con-
cerned.

Opposition to the proposed ad-
vance of freight rates to bring in an
additional $36OO00,000 annually, was
voiced by the delegates to the con-
vention of the Nebraska Farmers Co.
operative Grain & Live Stock, State
association, in their resolutions adopted
at the close of the session Thursday.
They pointed out that such a sum
of money would represent per cent
on $,200000000. Should condi-
tions arise" the restitution reads,
where the carriers must have in
creased facilities on account of i'll
creased transportation. and the roads
are unable to obtain sufficient funds
we favor. the governments loaning
the railroads, the necessary funds, or
we favor the governments purchasing
the necessary equipment for the time
being, or taking over the roads en-
tirely."
Urges Consolidation.
The association commended the
federal government for establishing
and supervising the federal grades of
grain.
The association recommends the
establishing of their own commission
firms at the terminals.
An invitation was issued through
the resolutions to all other cooper
ative shipping associations in the
state to come into this one, to unite
the farmers shipping associations in-
to one body in order that the prob
lens vital to all might be the better
worked out. They argue that their
association is the oldest of its kind in
the state and therefore the most logi-
cal one around which the others
should rally in affecting a consolida-
tion.
The association will return to
Omaha for next years convention.

GERMANY'S SUB
POWER BROKEN
FOR ALL FUTURE
Teutons' Only Hope and Allies
Only Anxiety laid Low; Ma
tions Undisturbed on
High Seas.

New York, Nov. 15.-Arthur Pollen,
noted British war expert, has made
the following statement to The Asso-
ciated Ptss on the submarine war:
Anything unsatisfactory in the
military and political situation in
Europe is balanced by the extraordi-
nary news that the German submarine
campaign has broken down alto
gether. The submarine is defeated.
This is the most momentous event
since the United States declared war.
1t means we can all stay in and that
America can really come i'll.
six months ago shipping was being
destroyed, according to. some authori-
ties, at rate of 100000 tons per an
mum. Had this loss continued, the
Germans had the right to expect not,
indeed, military victory, but peace
that would mean something much less
than defeat. This was Germany's
only hope and it was the allies only
anxiety. For everyone, including the
German high command, knew that
with sea communication reasonably
safe, the military defeat of the Ger
man army was certain.
THE rate of loss for the last week is
actually less than the annual toll of
wrecks in peace time. 1t is an amaz-
ing development. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that losses can remain as low
as this. They must fuctuate. But
they should never cause US serious
uneasiness again,
"Germany's defeat at sea is final,
universal and permanent, whereas
Germany's successes on land are local,
partial and temporary"
