Simon Lake, Inventor Of the
U-Boat, Devises Plan to
Beat Their Game
WOULD CARRY 5000 TONS
Ready to Build at Once--Can
Turn Them Out at Rate
OF Three a Week.

PHILADELPHIA. May 24-America
has found the perfect answer to the
German submarine terror. 1t is an
invention by the same man whose
brain devised the German menace.
That man is Simon Lake.
Great Merchant Submarine.
The answer is merchant subma-
rine standardized and simplified so
that the first one may be turned out
within four months and others sent
out after that at the rate of three or
four a week.
This momentous news, termed by
naval and military experts the turning
point of the war; becomes public prop
erty tonight, when it was learned here
that the Merchant Submarine COM
pany, capitalized at $10,000,OO0, was
chartered under the laws of Maine in
the capital at Augusta on May 10.
Much Larger Than Deutschland.
The vessels to be built and operated
by the Merchant Submarine company
are to be standardized at about 1900
or 5000 tons dead weight. They will
be more that 10 times larger than the
Deutschland, the only German mer-
chant submarine to make the voyage
across the Atlantic. The Deutschland
more than paid for it's cost of con-
structiOn and operation in the first
half of it's first round trip. Simon Lake
and his associates in the Merchant
Submarine company, that is to oper-
ate under the Stars and Stripes, say
that the profits of these huge cargo
carriers about to be constructed by
them, will be enormous, whether the
boats are operated privately or by the
United States government.
News Was Kept Secret.
The news of the incorporation was
kept secret until it became certain
that through some sources it had
leaked to England and thence to Ger
many. All reason for concealment
therefore, vanished. This invention,
in the eyes of the American, French
and British strategists, is Germany's
deathblow.
1t is nonsinkable craft and can
submerge within one-half minute. It's
features are such that it will operate
upon the surface and submerge at
such a rate of speed as to make it's
voyage frequent and highly profitable
When submerged it's speed will be
such that it can easily elude any sur
face pursuer.

Olympic Highways
Paving Costly This
Year-$17,967 Mile
Commissioners Plans for Road Build

cessive Expense.

MONTESANO, May 24.-Paving the
Olympic highway for the two and a
quarter miles running from the rail
way crossing at the Grays. Harbor
Country club to the next railway
crossing will cost $4O,426.40, or $17,-
96729 a mile. considerably more than
the cost of similar paving work in
1916. The contract is let to the Grays
Harbor Construction company.
Ralph Henry has secured the con-
tract for clearing, grading and gravel
ing the two-mile extension of the East
Hoquiam road, at $12,S76. Not great
amount of road work will be done by
the commissioners this year, as COM
pared with what they had planned.
Costs run too high, both for material
and work. Most of the new road build
ing projected, it is believed now, will
be held up till after the European war
is ended

HOQUIAM, May 24.-The labor out
look is very bad, declared w. B. Mack
assistant manager of the National
Lumber company, at the Wednesday
meeting of the Hoquiam Comercial
club. There are plenty of mechanics
and other skilled labor, he said, and
if they would only work, numbers OF
common laborers who can get better
pay than has prevailed for many years
in the local mills. Many, however, are
refusing to work until wages are ad
vanced even more. This condition
in Macks opinion, may be relieved
only by the introduction of labor from
other points. and this the local mills
are trying to effect.

now on the lake, all owned and oper-

it is said, are charged for crossing
the lake, running from so cents to
$3.50 for each person. Under recent
regulation, fishing permits must be
cOuntersigned by the Indian agent, E.

that they can get boats. Considering
