SUBMARINE LOSSES.

A compilation of British subma-
rine losses during the entire thitry-
eight weeks which have elapsed since
the declaration of Germany's ruth
less warfare shows that not since
June II have more than thirty YES
sells been sunk in one week; only
twice during that time have more
than twenty-five been sunk, while
during twelve of the twenty-five
weeks the number was below twenty.
Since September Is there has been
only one week during which more
than eighteen ships were sem to the
bottom. All this is extremely en-
couraging, but the statement of YES
sells sunk does not tell the story by
any means. 1t is when the losses
are compared with the arrivals and
departures that the real situation is
revealed. Sinse February 25, the be-
ginning of the ruthless warfare, S81
British vessels have been sunk, but
196,715 have arrived at and depart
ed from British ports.
In other figures, the submarine toll
has been only a small fraction over
four-tenths Of l per cent. consider
ably less than half of l per cent. of
the aggregate sailings. Nearly 2OO,-
900 vessels have arrived and departed,
and many fewer than 1000 have fail
ed to reach destination. In exact
figures, 195,S34 more vessels have
sailed than have been sunk. 1t must
be remembered that these figures do
not include British fishing vessels MOI
the ships of the other Allies, but ev-
eryone knows that the British ship
ping constitutes the overwhelming
volume of the worlds merchant fleet,
with the German shipping driven
from the high seas. There is every
reason H. the world for encourage.
ment-and for speeding up the con
%struction of merchant vessels in this
country.-Kansas City Journal.

"The Dutch statistics do not spe-
city the quantities of fish sen from
Holland to England in 1915 and 1916,
but they were, according to British
rejorts, less than 1000 tons. On the
other hand, Germany received in
these two years some thousands of
live cattle from Holland, besides g.
$50 tons of hides, skins, leather, and
leather goods!"
These are official statistics from the
records of the government of Hol-
land. Germany received this help,
SO badly needed, through Hollands
extraordinary imports from the Unit
ed States. Whatever may be said of
the justice of the subterfuge en-
ployed by Holland before this coun-
try entered the war, there should be
no two opinions about what our
course should be now. The Dutch
ships in American ports should be
taken out of Germanq's service and

their sons for the army and their
wealth for thegigantic destruction of
warfare.
The commercial and financial in
fiuences have entered into the for
eign policies of European nations no
one disputes. They have entered into
the policy of that huge system of
military force which the Socialists
are helping to prevail. 1t is true, al
so, that financial and commercial in
t~erests in America are involed with
British financial and commercial con-
ditions-also with German. But the
charge that American capitalists who
were prospecting hugely while we re-
manned out of the war were foolish
enough to precipitate the United
States into the war to "save their
Investments" is a%sinine. The present
price of stocks is an answer to that.
The vast taxation is an answer. The
rich mems sons in France TODAY and
at the environments and training
camps are an answer.
The laboring men and women of
England and of France and, we be-
lieve, the laboring men and women
OF America know this charge is non
sense. What would be the result of
the British worker with Belgium held
by Germany? What would be the
result to the French worker with
Germany in control of the Briey
mine fields? What would be the re-
suit to the workers of every Euro.
pean country and of our country if
Germany organized for war, drunk
with success, convinced of its destiny
to conquer, rule and Germanize the
whole world, should rise from this
war to dictate the commercial condi-
tons and threaten with a perpetual
armed might the independence of ev-
cry other people?
"a rich mans war;" yes, perhaps /;
and a poor mans, too. The Ameri-
can Bolsheviki want US to make peace
with the rich mans sytem of Ger
many. for it carries a sword and
makes war its business.

THE GRIP
(By Walt Mason.)

Now, when man has got cold
that makes him bark and yip, he
talks about his aches untold, and
says he has the grip. AsweM to
claim when chilblains f1irt your toes
around about, and cause picayunish
hurt, that you've rheumatic gout.
The grip it is a fell disease, unlike
the garden cold, and it was shipped a.
cross the seas, from Russia's frozen
world. Oh, it is fierce and it will
cook the goose of any gents, and
make the cold of commerce look like
twenty-seven cents. The men who've
had it should receive due credit for
the same and if they die they ought
to leave long enduring fame. Alas,
distinction for them moulds, no lau-
rel wreaths this trip, for skates
with common ten-cent colds, all say
they have the grip. I've had the
real imported thing, indorsed by
Nick, the Car, and !, of course,
would like to spring grip stories,
near and far. Alas this world no
solace holds for one to whom it's
due; for all the skates within tin
horn colds remark, "I've been there
too."

F Farmers OF EAST end
Interested IN FARM LOANS
Hov1and Takes Action Towards the
Formation Of Federal Loan
Association.

A number of the residents of the
town of Hovland and the Reserva-
tion met on Saturday evening; the
18th instant, at the Hovland Town
Hall to take definite action towards
the formation of a Federal loan as
sociation for the county. After a
careful consideration of the provi-
sions of the Federal Loan Act, four
teen Of those present signified their
willingness to become members of
such an association and made esti-
mates of the amounts they would
desire to borrow for the improve
ment of their farms. 1t was deci-
ded that similar actions by the other
sections of the coutny favoring the
formation of an association be
sought at the earliest possible dates,
and that should such action prove
that a sufficient number of farmers
were willing to cooperate in the
movement, meeting should be held
at the county seat to perfect the
organization of the association.
At the close of a most harmonius
meeting lunch was served by the
Hovland Community club.

The fishermen have nearly all
taken in their nets and suspended
operations for the season. This has
been rather backward season for
the fishermen, we have had several
sever storms which caused much
damage to their nets and drove the
herring away from the shore so that
the catch this fall was far below
normal The prices have been good
the whole season, and especially
during the latter part, as high as 81
cents per pound, has been paid, so
those who managed to save some of

MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
NOW IN FuLl SWING
speakership Of House zAmic.bIy Set
tied With no Scars or Bitter ..
ness Remaisinqsg":
BY Martin w. Odland

(opeclal TO the NeWs-Herald),- -
The first week of the fortieth session
of the Minnesota legislature is a
thing of the past, but both branches
aren OF yet thoroughly organized for
business. The senate has disposed of
all preiminaries and is working a.
way with it's customary dignity. 1t
was easy for the senate to get under
way, owing to the fact that it's pre-
siding officer, the lieutenant govern
or, had already been chosen by the
people and the membership with one
exception, is the same as in the ses-
sion of 1915. It takes the house
longer to get down to business, be-
cause it's presiding officer, the speak
er, who appoints the committees and
most of the house employees, must
be chosen by the members-elect af-
ter the session opens and the men,
bership is twice as large as that of
the senate and largely made up of
recruits. Before the end of the pre-
sent week, however, the house will
be thoroughly organized and bills
will be under consideration in the
fifty odd committees, which Speaker
Ralph J. Parker will announce in a
day or two.
The speakership fight ended before
the opening of the session and seems
to have left little, if any, bitterness
which, of course, is very fortunate
and augers we'll for successful ses-
sion. Two years ago the fight for
the speakership between former
Lieutenant Governor Gordon and H.
H. Flowers was not settled till after
the house convened, while the bitter
ness became so intense that it lasted
through the session, preventing har-
monious action and causing the de-
feat of many meritorious measures.
Two years ago the county option and
the liquor question in general were
the overshadowing issues in the
speakership contest, practically all
of the so-called "wets" being lined
up for Mr.. Flowers and the so-called
"drys' being back of Mr.. Gordon.
In this winters speakership contest
the wet and dry issue cut some fig
ure in the beginning and was mainly
responsible for the elimination pro-
ceedings at Minneapolis December
%, which resulted in the withdrawal
of four prominent candidates and in
the pitting against each other of
Ralph J. Parker and Charles H. War;
ner for the speakership belt; but
that issue vanished completely when
the wet members of Ramsey county
and the third congressional district
swung into line for Parker, cinching
his election.

STEAMER LIBERTY HAD r.
HARD STRUGGLE IN ICE.
Reached Duluth Monday After =
:" Five D.y. Battle in tie Ice
III .$:ssts &, Field on Lake,

There was considerable. anxiety
here over the condition Of the Stea-
mer Liberty which left this port for
Duluth last Thursday morning and
was reported caught in the ice about
Two Harbors. "--... =:
The Duluth News-Tribune of Jan.
18th, has the following report Of her
safe arrival in port:
After having been caught in an
ice foe and carried to open waters
of Lake Superior, the fishing stea-
mer Liberty Of the :, Scandia Fish
company arrived in Duluth yester-
day behind the tug Minnesota.
The voyage was one of the most
hazardous the ship has ever COM
pleted, it was said. After 'tmaking''
Cornucopia on the south shore, then
Grand Marais and Grand Portage on
the north shore, the Liberty steamed
for Two Harbors to take on a cargo
of fish. A few miles northeast of
that port she was caught in a foe
and carried eastward.
The Scandia company sent the Min
nesota to her rescue Saturday morn
ing. After an all day search, the tug
returned about 8 p. m. and reported
failure to locate the Liberty. After
coaling, the Minnesota again took
up the search at 10 o'clock, and at
o'clock yesterday mornig discovered
the steamer a few minutes after she
had been freed by the breaking up of
the foe. The two vesselsSput in at
Two Harbors where the Liberty re.
ceived a shipment of fish,
Later in the morning the tug de.
parted for Duluth, with the Liberty
following in her wake. The fishing
tugs Phelps and Fashion, (which had
been held fast in the ice. along the
north shore, also reached Duluth yes
terday. Il
