HOLLAND LETTER
The Biggest Daily
Financial News Feature Of.
the Counhy's Best Newspapers,

When MarCOni speaks he does so
as one having authority. Fully as
much reliance is placed upon anything
he may say regarding invention and
applied science as is the case when
Edison speaks. Therefore when Mar
conf said a day or two ago to COM
pany of friends in New York that
no invention and no apparatus has
been offered to the allied governments
which was of any value in attempts
to eliminate the submarine danger,
his statement was accepted as con-
elusive. Furthermore he is of the
opinion that no apparatus of this kind
can be devised. But it was not en-
tirely due TO MarcOni's assertion that
the submarine cannot he eliminated
or greatly impaired by any appara-
tus that the belief is now entertained
that the submarine can be met sue
cessfully in no other, way than by
fighting He simply confirmed that
belief. Some automatic devices may
occasionally impair or destroy a SUBJ
marine, but none as yet has been
suggested by any man that is worthy
OF serious consideration.
1t is for this reason that the gov
ernment at Washington is presumably
preparing to meet by fighting craft
whatever submarine perils may be de-
veloped near our own shores or with
in the present danger zone with in
tent to make reprisal upon the United
States for the enactment and enforce
ment of the food embargo law.
Only by fighting and by tactics of
navigation in a new kind of naval
battle can the submarine be matched
and maybe overmatched. This fight
ing may be either directed from the
decks of vessels or may be carried
on by air vessels. Intimations have
come from good authorities that those
who command the submarines are
more apprehonsive of overhead at
tacks from various kinds of air flo-
tilla than from attacks made from
the decks Of conveys or other vessels.
MarcOni's friends in this city with
whom he has chatted report him as
having greater faith in airplanes and
seaplanes as fighting instruments than
he even entertains for guns fired from
the decks of conveys or other vessels,
although he regards these methods of
attack and defense as of the highes st
Importance.
While there appears to he some ap-

that there was actual wastage OF ia,
In this refuse deposited in the garbage
cans which, II properly treated, woulo
furnish food enough each day for Q
large number of men. Therefore a
campaign for securing abundant sup.
plies Of fat will be among the CHIEF
undertakings to which Mr.. Hoover
will give his attention.
Word reaches this city that the gov-
ernment, in accord with its very greai
and comprehensive plan of adequate
preparation for the war. has taken
over not only the Eddyston munition
plant In Pennsylvania, hitherto in the
control of British capital, but 1t has
also taken over, or Is about to take
over, that part of the great plant OF
the Winchester Arms Company at
New Haven, which represents an in
vestment of English money secured at
the time when 1t was necessary to
greatly increase the plant in order to
obtain the capacity for executing
large orders for munition. The gov
ernment has also taken over, or is
about to take over. another large
plant in Central New York.
One reason why the South Is able to
contribute in such large proportionate
measures to the food and Industrial
necessities Of the time is to be found
in the remarkable development in the
operating departments of some OF the
leading railroad systems of the South.
A few years ago these railroads were
not in the best OF condition. 1t was
with some difficulty that those who
managed them secured money neces-
sary for improvements. Fairfax Har-
rison, president of the Southern Rail-
way, for instance. asserted that every
dollar spent in the improvement of
his railroad system would be found to
be an economical expenditure of the
best kind. His assertion, made two or
three years ago, has within a few
days been demonstrated to be accu-
rate, for it is possible to report that
the railroad system of which he is
president carried between July !, 1916,
and July /. 1917. considerable more
than 100000 passengers. in addition
to a great amount of freight The
Passengers were transported without
single accident involving loss of
life. This is as good a record as that
made by two or three of the great
trunk lines which have been proud TO
announce that they have carried
within a year many millions of pas
sengers without loss of life, to any
one for which the company was re-
sponsible. HOLLAND.

! prehension that Germany, SmpeiIed by
! a desire to embarrass the United
states greatly, may extend the SUBJ
marine danger zone so that 1t covers
the entire North Atlantic, neverthe-
! less the danger from this source is
not regarded as very great. Mar
] conf speaks with some enthusiasm
of various devices in the from of nets
/ stretched across narrow straits or at
the entrances to harbors, serving as
barriers 10 the entrance OF subma-
rlnes. Undoubtedly the United States
has. to a greater extent than the
public realizes. adopted devices of this
kind for the protection of our coast.
one Of those who were members of
, the company of which Marshall
Joffre was perhaps the most con-
spicuous at the time of the visit of
the French Mission to the United
States explained TO a few friends at
private dinner some of the aCtiyi-
ties with which Frenchmen, many of
| them men OF science, have been oc-
cupIed since the war with Germany
! began. With a few weeks after the
Teuton forces entered Belgium the
French government was offered many
devices and numerous inventions, all
of them purporting to be of value TO
/ France and England in carrying on
the war. The number of these Offer
incS increased so rapidly that the
French government deemed it worth
while to appoint a commission whose
duty II was to make examination of
every device or invention brought TO
) its notice. The commission found its
hands full in a short time. Nearly
f., four hundred thousand offerings of
this kind have been made and in that
, entire number the commission found
only one which was deemed of prac-
teal value. That was a serum OBJ
tanned by new method. designed for
innoCulation so as to make the sol
diers immune from typhoid. OF
course there were many improvements
in the manufacture of great guns and
rapid firing guns. Some of these rep
resent greater efficiency than any ac-
quired by the Germans in the manu-
facture Of cannon of all descriptions
and rapid firing guns.
In an informal conversation in
which Mr.. Hoover is reported to have
taken the leading part few days ago
he stated. as reported, that above all
other necessary articles of food for
the soldiers is an imperative need of
fats. Mr.. Hoover apparently is not
persuaded that at present the armi IS
of the allies in France actually are
| in need of food. He knows that in
Russia there is an abundance of food,
the only embarrassment being that
caused by lack of transportation ia
cilities. But in France there is al
most desperate need of fats. 1t is the
lack of fat. in his opinion. which has
caused the spread of tuberculosis and
somewhat alarming epidemic OF
certain other diseases. Fats furnish
Just the nutriment needed for build
ing up blood strength. Mr.. Hoover
decided to make certain tests with
intent to discover how much in the
way of fat foods the United States
has been and is now wasting. There

To swell their purse by prohtings,

Who hoard the meanssby which life

Who press demands by vantage they

The brute. the mongrel that connives
to coin
The pangs Of hunger of the helpless

The gambling thieves who've such

Such are the foes who merit right

ScUrned by all; condemned on every

Hath won a measure rich in dole,

Would hold no thing Of lasting worth.

The end would be oblivion.

The War Department is besieged
with requests from the wives and
other female members of the families
of army officers for the privilege of
accompanying the American military
expedition to France. The ineXora Bile

impartially enforced against the pres

army abroad. 1t is held by the mill
tary authorities that France, under
| existing conditions, is no place for
| womankind. No exceptions will be, or
can be, made; for 1t is realized that
such a privilege granted in one case
will serve to let down the bars gen.
orally. with the result of much trouble
| and the assumption of grave RESPONSE
bility for individual safety during the

War Department entertains no liking

one chance for women to go to France

| for the Red Cross. But even in those
cases the War Department looks with

of women from this country An
other rule which has been adopted is
that there shall not be with the Ameri-

| in uniform.
About 1.600 candidates have been
designated to take the examination
beginning July % for appointment as
second lieutenant OF the army. This
may be the last competitive examina-
tion to be held, since 1t is expected, as

qualification of student officers at the
training camps, to fill the 5000
vacancies in the grade. The candI-
| dates who qualified in the January

and it is expected they will be ordered
to Fort Leavenworth by tomorrow to

been shortened to ten weeks. upon
completion of which they will join
