 When William l.. Saunders intimated the other day that invention was perfect- ing, in his opinion, apparatus whic1s would either put an end completely to the submarines or greatly diminish their ac- tivities, he undoubtedly then spoke with intent to allay good deal of apprehen-4 sion that was prevailing.

 As soon as the announcement cax.ie from Washington that Elmer Sperry, tae inventor of the gyroscope, was identified with certain apparatus under consid- eration by the authorities at Washington, which, if tests justified expectations, would greatly impair the submarines, if not completely eliminate them, then those who are personal acquaintances of MT. Saunders and who Know of his abii- ities, were persuaded that he had in mind the apparatus with which Mir Sperry's name is associated. Therefote, tho impression grows that American in- ventive skill perhaps supplemented by counsel and information received from England will in short time have per fected apparatus powerful enough not only to act in the defensive, but to cross the seas with intent to attack and de- stroy submarines

SIR DOUGLAS HAIG
Frederick Palmer. in Golfers.

FreuerlcK HdlfneT, III (oilleI $.
 If the British army should break the line this summer, the greatest figure in all British military will be Sir Douglas Haig, commander-in-chief of the group of British armies in France. With his talent and his legions rests the final decision.
 An invisible commander, Sir Douglas, a silent man in the background directing vast forces. Not one out of ten of his soldiers has even seen him. Yet no other general has had such an in-s fluence on any army as he on the British.
 The army knew of Haig, but the public knew nothing Of him. He was a soldiers soldier. To no leader Is pub- licity so irksome as to him. Nobody could be more incapable of pose, and no- body could make less fuss in the com-. mand of great army. If ever . commander was chosen by the silent vote of an army, it is he. When 1t was ru- mored that Sir John French was going to retire and I asked the question who should take his place, the answer was always Sir Douglas Haig. Through all the struggle Haig has been at the front, proving himself to junior commanders and to the French as capable for high command in modern warfare. In month after he became commander-in-chief the whole army felt the tightening influence of new hand

Revolution In Germany

Revolution I'm Germany
 Would Solve the Problem ITS revolution brewing in Germany '! H This is the hope of the worlds democracies, and it is not without some foundation, but Prussia is still powerful. The world at large knows little of what is actually happening in the German empire-little that con- cerns the people themselves. We don't know what they are thinking-the military authorities have attended to that-and it is impossible to estimate the strength of public sentiment, either in regard to peace or the i'm perial government.
 Yet there are indications that the current of unrest throughout Ger many is deep and far-reaching. Never before have the socialists dared to be so outspoken. Speeches are made that would not have been tolerated two or three years ago. The Kaiser's person ality is no longer omnipresent. He IS still the supreme war lord, yet we are hearing a great deal about the Ger man government and not much about the Kaiser. Being no fool, he has doubtless seen the wisdom of keeping more in the background while his min isters do his bidding.
 It is a foregone conclusion that Germany will have a more liberal form of government after the war is over, if it is not realized sooner. The example of Russia has made pro- found. impression on the Germans. They are not the same type of people, by any means. They would not make the b1unders the Russians have made, blunders which have brought about what is virtually reign of anarchy. That phase of the Russian revolution which is most dangerous to the se- curity of the Hohenzollerns is the as- tonishing ease and rapidity with which the autocratic power of the Czar was destroyed. If the Russians, about 75 per cent of whom are illit- crate, can do that against the most autocratic government on earth, what could not the Germans accomplish with their learning and efficiency?
 If there is a revolution in Germany it will end the war, but at present acme of the most optimistic observers are unwilling to predict the speedy downfall of the Hohenzollerns.

n OGDEN ARMOUR of Chicago, @o member of the advisory com mittee of the council of national de- fense, states in an optimistic inter view his belief that the war will not bring financial disaster on the Ameri- can people MT. Armour is but one of the hundreds of successful business men in the United States who deplore the tendency toward hysterical econo- my at this time. There are indications that the American people are regain ing their poise and that there will be no further depression, but it is ad- visable that their confidence in the future be strengthened.
 By adopting policy of 'business as usual" MT. Armour says we will escape the Reorganization which France and Great Britain experienced. We shall not only be able to prosecute the war with more vigor and enthusi- asm for just cause, but there will be fewer sacrifices to make at home.

WHY WE LIKE JoFFRE

From the New Bedford (Mass) Standard.
 Papa Joffre cannot understand why the American people take such an interest in him-an interest surpassins that which is felt in any of the other distinguished visitors. The reasons are that he Is scldier, that he won the battle of the Marine, that he saved France and democ- racy. that he doesn't advertise, and that he did his fighting without talking. No wonder the crowds shout for Joffre, mis- pronouncing his name but none the less voicing their admiration.

From the St. Louis Star.
 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote. a story prophetic of the submarine blockade of England. The German secretary of the navy, Admiral Capelle, speaking in the Reichstag, credits Sir Arthur with hay- Ing suggested the present scheme Of U-boat warfare. This is warning against sensational newspaper or maga- zine articles concerning the vulnerabil- ity of the United States. Such articles are written primarily to arouse this coun- try to a sense of it's danger, but the ideas set forth are just as likely to furnish the enemy with weapons to use against us. They recall the story of the man standing on his horse to pick apples. who was so rash as to express aloud the thought: Gee, what would happen to me if someone said 'Giddap'" They might precipitate the calamity dreaded.
 Sir Arthur wrote his story with no evil intentions, but he probably wonders whether or not he did actually help to place Great Britain in her present pre- dicament He may appreciate the pub licity, but he must experience some very unpleasant moments. German efficiency probably would have worked out the U-boat system without any promptings; It is just using Sir Arthur to give John Bull a sly dig.

They Haven't a Look-in

Red Smith, who sells Westcott cars in Birmingham and Alabama, finds time to compile and discuss the wonderful re- sources of our country. P1easingly sur veying his compilations yesterday, he confided to several prospective customers and others who happened to be in his establishment that his statistics were highly gratifying. The central powers haven't got chance" he shouted Look at these figures. We've got 7 per cent of the worlds population and per cent of it's area as a starter. We produce 75 per cent of the corn, 66 per cent of the cotton, 50 per cent of the copper, 66 per cent of the petroleum, 40 per cent of the iron and coal, 25 per cent of the wheat. We have got 30 per cent of the worlds manufacturers, 40 per cent of its railways, S5 per cent of it's banking power and 90 per cent of it's wealth.
 Now, I ask you" he continued, have they got chance to beat us?"
 And it was unanimously agreed that they didn't have look-in.

Southern League Not Affected

Although it is reported through the press that a number of baseball leagues throughout the country are about to sus- pend operation, this does not apply to the Southern league, which is one of the soundest leagues in the country" Secretary Harold McDermott of the Southern league said yesterday. "The Southern league is the fastest minor or ganization anywhere, and there is not the slightest danger of the clubs in this league being forced to retrench.
 'The attendance so far is good, and in some towns is far above the average, especially where the team has been playing winning ball. The weather has worked many hardships in baseball cir cles, but it has not affected the South ern league.
 q believe, provided a heavy war tax is not placed on the national pastime, the Southern will have one of its most successful seasons in history. The tax would cause many hardships among the minors and for this reason I do not be- lieve it will be adopted. At least, hope not

the workers. The result is higher wages and more money in circulation, with job for every man who wants it.
 Some parts of Mir. Armour's inter view are worthy of reproduction here. He says:
 I consider the present the most suspicious period from the stand point of national prosperity in my memory. There is not one good req son why the business of this coun- try should not proceed in it's nor nal course on an ever-increasing line The per capita wealth Of Americans today is greater than ever before-greater than that of the people of any nation at any time in the past or in the present. Our national wealth is past the widest dreams of few years back
 Labor is satisfactorily employed and at record wages. Every day that the war lasts will find great demand for the labor and the brains of the wage and salary earn CTS of the United States.
 It is also comforting to know that the United States has approximately 40 per cent of the worlds gold supply. No matter what happens, the United States will suffer less than any other belhgerent and with unlimited wealth at our command there is no reason to fear a demoralization of our national life, provided the American people keep their heads. It is up to them.
