TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE

THE CITY.
The city. the city, where mighty made,
The lists where all the unafraid!

This field where every flower and weed human pas

Inhuman and gigantic, impressive and superb,

The city, the city, where everything is vast,
Where all the tales of thousand

A naughty mart of commerce,
A studio of arts
Yet up and down and through and through, humming

SUBMARINE COMMERCIAL CARRIERS

u Submarines have shown no power to destroy
other submarines and are, of course, helpless in
tattack and to some measure in defense far
! as aircraft are concerned. 1t is of decided in
| |terest to learn that the project of building a
|Efleet of submerged freighters has progressed
so far that it is engaging the serious considera-
ton of the government. Simon Lake was wide
lily quoted at the time of the Deutschland's ar
rival as saying that the submarine freighter
was a certainty in the future and on a scale that
would make it a profitable type of commercial
carrier It has been established that subma-
rines can successfully cross the seas So far as
Gernany's demonstrations of submarine car
60 carrying are concerned, it is known that
they were made to influence popular opinion;
that they were not demonstrations of the com
mercial profit Of such traffic. But when the
rapid development of submarine operation is
remembered, the possibility of commerce car
rying by submersibles is sensibly admitted
and the present profit, provided such craft
served as a means of putting food and sup
plies into the ports Of the entente, need not be
measured by purely commercial standards.
We are bending our invention and energy to
finding means to destroy the submarine. It
may be we'll to consider the possibility of out
whiting it by its own means.

phase Of preparedness by our farmers which
well may engage attention. It is stated that
the American farmer has for the past twenty
years been becoming more and more Of mer-
chant; that he now forecasts the probable mar
ket for his product and plants accordingly.
The writer in Farm and Fireside gives consid-
cradle data to show that, while there was a
real crop shortage last year, CONSIDERABLE
part Of the failure of our crop producers to meet
the extraordinary demands arose not from ex-
haustion of land resources but from policy of !
withholding part of the land from production.
The American farmer has suffered deeply /
from market gluts and he fears them honestly. |
But it is plainly to be seen now that all the
resources of this country's farms should have
been taxed last year and must be taxed this
year if this nation is to escape the suffering
that war has brought to Europe.
