POOLING THE GERMAN PEOPLE

Imperial German government off
cials, with the Aid Of the newspapers,
willing or otherwise, have devised a
scheme whereby the spirit of the
people of Germany will remain nn-
shaken by the entry of the United
States into the war. News dispatches
purporting to come from New YORK,
Washington and London have been
publishedg in several of the larger
newspapers with the apparent inten-
tion of keeping from the public the
fact that this nation is preparing to
become real military factor Ia the
world struggle.
La despatch published in the Vos-
sische Zeitnng the German people are
told that the American war loan has
been colossal failure and that the
failure has the effect of crushing the
spirits of the American people. 1t
also reports the complete breakdown
of this nation s war preparations and
declares that Secretary McAdoo has
started campaign in the west to
prevent a complete and final failure
of the Liberty Loan and in an effort
to save his job and that Of Mr.. Baker.
Referring to recruiting for the army
and navy the despatch declares that
only 10000 had volunteered sup to
April |. With these men coming
from the better middle class arsd

SUBMARINE KILLERS

Because of the great falling off Of
submarine sinkings reported 1t is evil
dent some force is working against
that piratical means of warfare and
that it is working in q manner most
satisfactory to America and her sllies.
From the time the submarine ruth
lessness of the German government
threatened to be the deciding factor
in the great war there has been a feel
ing that some American would devise
some means to cope with the UNDER
sea monster.
A few weeks ago 1t was announced
by a government official that the
great problem had been solved, but
there has been noted skepticism1
among those who would have the de-
vice accomplish it's purpose in mo-
ment's notice. OF the device the
New York Sun says:
rhe invention is of such char
acter that it can be put into opera
ton in the war zone almost immedi-
ately. 1t requires no elaborate
preparation or construction work,
but can be made a factor in the
campaign against the u boat this
summer.
The invention is chiefly in the ma
ture of direct offensive operations
against the submarine. 1t is not
merely destined to protect merchant
men or to reduce the ravages OF the
U boats, but is calculated to eradi.
cate them altogether.
The extent of the effectiveness Of
the invention against the submarine
will depend merely on extending it's
operations from limited shores to a
broad sweeping scale. Initial ope ra-
tions on a small scale will be begun,
Iit is contemplated, while the so
called branching out plan is being
Epnt into operation.
Following the conference at the
home of secretary Daniels and after
further conferences there was not q
dissenting voice among ali the naval
experts present as to the value of
immediately rushing the tests to
completion. The nearest approach
to q pessimistic statement made by
any officer or official of the boa rd
present at the conference was: 1T is
an invention which the government
must certainly give thorough trial
to before considering other means Of
combating directly the U-boats.
Commenting on the above, the
Sioux City Tribune says:
Remembering that wireless tele- :
graphy and aviation we're legitimate
prey for the scoffers only few years
| ago, 1T does not seem beyond the
bounds Of reason to hope that some
method may be devised. and soon. to
cope with submarines engaged in
lawless operations. It isn't neces-
