Less Than One Million Sol

Warnings From Europe I'm

No Occasion, However, for
Any Display Of Hysteria
BY CARL d. GRoAT.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Oct. 3.-Shipping ex-
perts here are more than ever con-
WINGED that America will face a dearth
Of tonnage the coming year. SO SER
ious as to prevent movement Of more
than 100000 to 1000 900 men by the
end of 1918.
Joint warnings Of Sir Joseph Maclay,
British shipping controller, and Lord
Northcliffe, publicist, that there must
be 100000 tons new shipping an
nually are not needed here. Among
government heads. it is realized that
the submarine situation was and is
serious.
But such men as Secretary of
the Navy Daniels and Admiral
Benson declare that there is no
occasion for becoming hysterical
and that the submarine situation
is more satisfactory.
LOSS OF SHIPS SMALL.
One half of one per cent of conveyed
ships are being lost. Practically all
ships are under the new convoy sys-
tenn.
However. as the United Press stated
on Sept. 20, American troop trans
portation to Europe the next six
months may be greatly curtailed"
The war department has submitted
to the shipping board an estimate that
10 to IL tons of shipping space must
be available at all times for every SOL
der sent to Europe. The government s
official estimate is that by the end of
1918 America will have 100000 tons
Of shipping available.
SOLDIERS TO EUROPE.
From the above figures, It can be
seen that the total number of men
sent to Europe before the end of an
other year is likely to be under 1,O00,-
600, unless added ships can be obtained
from outside. This is doubtful, in view
of the allies own ship needs, and Lord
Northcliffe warning virtually that
American must go 1t alone In the mat
ter of ships.

TOXIC Oct. 3.-The most destructive
typhoon and flood In 20 years today
had destroyed thousands of buildings
rendered 10000 homeless, paralyzed
railroads and shipping and done 3d.
100000 damage in the city Of Toxic
alone. At least so are dead.
The storm broke Monday. It struck
first in the vicinity of Toxic bay and
over the eastern Pacific. The whole
shore line was inundated. A small
tidal wave accompanied the wind and
rain. At Yokohama harbor four cargo
boats were swept under by this wave
Of water.
ESTIMATE ON LIFE LOSS.
A complete estimate of the damage
or Of the loss of life will be impossible
for several days. The official esti-
mate Is at least 80 dead In Toxic alone.
Newspapers predict the figure will be
doubled.
The telegraph system is utterly de-
moralized and reports of loss of life
or damage In other parts Of the en-
pire are lacking. The Sumida river
is still rising and it was predicted to-
day that 10000 additional homes will
be flooded in the Toxic district.
1T RAINED A FLOOD.
The hurricane stripped roofs off
buildings, whipped ships from their
moorings and beat the downpour of
rain into veritable flood of water In
the streets. The imperial palace build
ings and other government structures
suffered considerably. So did many
other beautiful buildings in the city

EPITHETS FEATURE
OF NEW YORK FIGHT

New York. Oct. 3.-New York is 60
ing after record for patriotic ut
terances today.
With the mayoralty election only q
month away, and Mayor Mitchell max
ing his campaign on platform of pa
triotism as opposed to Hearst, Hylau
and the Hohenzollerns," campaign
speeches on both sides were bristling
with flagwaving utterances.
Tammany Hall refuses to be class
ed as unpatriotic. Chief Murphy Is
pointing out the number Of Tammany
boys" who have enlisted, and pro-
claiming the loyalty of the Tiger.
Mitchell opened his campaign last
night with bitter attack on Hylan,
Tammany Hall and Hearst. He de-
clared Hearst puts the Star-Spangled
Banner on the front page and tries to
stab the country in the back, in his
editorial columns"
mitchell AND TAMMANY.
Although Mitchell has been in the
campaign only two days as an indie
pendent candidate, the fight appeared
to be centering between the mayor
and Tammany. Little is heard at pres
ent of William M. Bennett, who de-
feated Mitchell for the Republican
nomination.
Mayor Mitchell coined the first cam
paign when he referred to "Hearst,
Hylan and the Hohenzollerns," but
Chief Murphy had referred to Judge
Alton B. Parker as that boob from
Esopus."

on notice that if convicted of a
second offense it is a felony,
whether their first offense was
committed before or after the
Lee Zimmerman law, which car

George Armstrong was con-
victed of violating the local op.

peaIed on the ground that the
penalty attached to a second con-
viction applied only when the &C.
cused had twice been convicted
after the passage of the act of
March, 1916. But the Court of
Appeals, in an opinion by Chief

judgment, said it made no diff.

Contrasted with these unhappy
evidences of the activities of
various groups of politicians
scrambling for power, we have
the record at Washington, where
the nations representatives are
united to mobilize, by law, every
material and moral resource of a
hundred millions of people.
Every measure which looks to
the speedy a successful prosecu-
ton of the conflict is adopted al
most without a bubble.
No political ambitions are being
considered; no petty chickering's
or civil strike thwart the will of
the people to render America
efficient and worthy as a fight
ing force.
For this condition, a part of
the credit is due to the extraor-
binary executive leadership Of
President Wilson, and the other
share of credit must go to the
patriotism of the American peo-
pie, and their proven capacity
for self government.-E Town

How to Save Meat.
Save the meat!

Save the meat!
Our allies food animals have
decrease 100000 head. Their
meat, fat, milk and butter have
thus decreased in the face of in
creased need. Although our
own live stock herds are only
about normal, and our output of
animal products but little larger
than before the war, we must
send our allies more beef, pork,
bacon, condensed milk, cheese
and pork products. We can in
crease our shipments only by
the amount we save.
For beef, pork, mutton, then,
we should substitute chicken,
fish and rabbit, oysters, CLAIMS
and other sea foods, and increase
our egg dishes.
Serve beef, pork or mutton
not more than once any day.
Set aside one or more days
each week when no red" meat
will be served.
Reduce the size of portions.
Substitute beans for meats, as
they contain the same nutritiVe
values.
Save the meat!

Save the meat!

America will need many things dur
ing the dark days Of this winter,
men, money, munitions and food, but
above all, she will need optimism.
Cheerfulness at home as well as cour-
age at the front is essential. Therefore
the country should encourage, within
reasonable limits, the lighter and
pleaSanter features Of life to inspire
hope and strengthen confidence.
Gloom is a very bad weapon to make
war with, and its apostles err when
they endeavor to disseminate it, for It
does not help, it only demoralizes and
Weakens.

No Politics in the War.

The New York World says
that, $50 far as the war is con-
cerned. we are getting along
with less politics in the United
States today than any OF the
other belligerents, ally or enemy.
This happy condition may not
continue with a nation smarting
under heavy casualty lists and
shortage in the necessities of
life, but it is true today that at
no capital of a nation at war is
there as much unity, and as little
dissension as at Washington.
The recent French cabinet
crisis, in which the Painleve
Government was overthrown,
was the result of incidental and
comparatively trivial causes. 1t
had nothing to do with the con
duct of the war or the attitude
of the French people toward the
vital issues of the conflict.
Lloyd Georges seat as Prime
Minister of England was threat
ened because he ADVOCATED the
creation of an Inter-Allied War
Council, which is to act not in
an executive, but merely an adj
visory capacity. Certainly one
is needed.
The Italian War Ministry has
recently been overthrown.
The unfortunate civil strife in
Russia is a familiar topic, while
there is undoubtedly much dis
sension in Germany, subdueC
only by the iron will of the Kai
ser.

Japan to s9nd Army and
Navy to Help Allies.

Increased Japanese partlcipa-
ton In the war, both on land
and sea, is expected to be the
result of the negotiations con-
cluded by the United States and
Japan by which recognition is
given to Japan's special interests
in China.
1t was learned today that the
japanese fleet has been mobiliz.
ed. Nearly 100 vessels aggre-
eating more than 100000 tons
are engaged. This is accepted
as forecasting the dispatch by
japan of a large feet to Euro
pean waters.
Dispatch of a japanese army
to Europe is expected in response
to appeals made by both Italy
and Russia.
JAPAN WAITED FOR PRICE.
The United States will meet
Japan's price for increased war
activity by recognizing Japanese
aspirations in China. There has
been no secret that japan has
been holding back until the at
titude Of the powers, particular
ly the United States, with ref
ence to Japanese.C Chinese rela-
tions was set forth.
One of the important questions
at the forthcoming allied war
conference will be the part ia
pan will take in the war. Italian
and Russian delegates will urge
use of japanese troops on their
fronts. Russia's attitude has
been set forth by the Vechernee
Vremya, which urges that
whatever may be her demand,
nothing will be considered too
dear, in view of the enormous
loss of lives and money that will
occur during the six months that
the war will be shortened by the
appearance of Japan on the fir
ing line. F"
VIEW OF THE ITALIANS.
Italy's view, expressed by the
Corriere Della Sere, one of the
most influential Italian newspa-
pers, is that one of the worst err
rors of the Allies has been the
missed opportunity of japanese
participation.
''Not a single responsible
statesman among the Allies" il
is said, chad the timely insight
to urge a straightforward bid
for Japan's Intervention"
The action of the United
States in satisfying Japan is &C.
copied as a reply to these crit
icisms.

lief is expressed that the United
States achieved a notable success
in the negotiations with Japan
