Reichstag May 10 by the German
Secretary of the Navy in which
that official admitted that a GER
tain number of submarines were
lost as the result of improved
means of destruction devised by
the Allies
Second, some twenty Dutch
ships which had been held in
harbors on this side for many
weeks have received orders to
continue their journey home.
England dislikes the inactivity of
neutral ships, upon which its
commerce partly depends, and it
has been finding reasons for de-
tanning Dutch ships which avoid
ed the submarine menace by re-
naming in our ports. The depar-
ture Of these Dutch ships there
fore suggests either less fear Of
the submarines by Holland or an
understanding with England
regarding still other ships.

SUBMARINES AND TRADE

Ruthless submarine warfare
began in February. The cabled
reports of British trade show
that the imports were $780,
600, 900 in April, f8l 600, 900 in
March, and e71, 900, 600 in Febru-
airy. British exports were
G43, 600, 900 in April, f44, 900, 900
in March, and e37, 900, 900 in
February. March is the only
month this year which shows a
decrease of imports compared
with last year. Every month this
year shows a marked increase of
exports. The increase of imports
for April by nearly f9, 600, 900
over March and by nearly
els, 100000 over April, 1916,
shows that the authorities can
import whatever they like, so
great is their control over ship
ping. If they are short of food,
it is not from shortage Of ship
ping or the activity of the SUBJ
marines. The increase of exports
shows greater control over the
exchanges and an improved con-
dition of industry.
These facts are reinforced by
our own trade statistics. For
April our figures are not yet avail
able, but for March our exports
of foodstuffs were greater than
in either 1916 or 1915. That is
true of our total exports, and
had its option to take
what it wanted of any sort of
goods. 1t is not possible to doubt
the activity of the submarines,
but they seem to have better
sport with hospital ships than
with food ships. That progress is
being made against the subma-
rines is shown by two facts. In a
Washington dispatch one is set
forth:

Make Them Fight

Speaking of the Selectiye draft,
a Texas exchange says that when
the Federal officials get busy
conscripting soldiers for war
service they ought to take first
of all
All producers and handlers of
luxuries,
All cotton farmers who are not
raising enough food for their
families and farm animals, with
SURPRISES to spare for their
country and our men at the front,
All wage earners who neglect
gardening around their homes.
All owners of implanted vacant
town lots,
All owners of idle farms,
All useless middle men,
All conspirators who beat down
prices to the producers of food
and bull the prices the consumers
must pay, and
All spectators in food prices.
The miners, foresters, food and
clothing producers, factoryhands,
transporters, and managers of
industries are all needed at home,
it says; as for the rest, they can
be spared to fight.
In this day of extreme peril to
the parasites of So
ciety rich and poor ought to be
drafted into military service.
They are fit for nothing else;
make them fight,
Some pretty straight talk; but
it is worth thinking over,

The merchants in Littleton
have signed an agreement to
close their stores at $50 every
afternoon in the week but Satur-
day. This is to give tired and
,jaded clerks a little time of their
own before dark. 1t is a good
thing and we would like to see it
adopted by the merchants of this
community. They must adopt it
or plead guilty to being less re-
gardful of the welfare of their
employees and less progressive
in business methods than are the
merchants in Littleton.
