SUB CAMPAIGN TO DRIVE
COMMERCE TO halifax!

have lately been destroyed in the
vicinity of the British islands,
not to mention the Mediterranean.
and it is an open secret that the
central powers are preparing to
launch a more ambitious campaign
with new large cruising subma-
rifes of the type of the U-54
which pioneered the work by sink
ing three vessels off New York.
Expect New Campaign.
The new sea-going submarine,
of which 1t is said that three a
week are being turned out, have
a cruising radius of several thou
sand miles and may operate for
weeks without visiting a base for
fuel or ammunition.
Such ships are a menate to the
commerce from American ports, a
menace which can be met appar-
emily only by arming the merchant
ship and turning the commerce
to Canadian ports.
This will make 1t necessary to
ship all cargoes destined for the
allies, for to Canada either by
rail or by small coastwise vessels.
The impression prevails sere
that the German submarine cam
paign, which, by the way, may be
brought very close to American
ports, will begin sometime in
January.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. A.
Can German submarines cut off
or seriously cripple the stream Of
commerce between American and
British ports?
Can the threat of submarines on
our coast and along the trans
Atlantic steamship lane, be met
by arming British merchant ves-
sells?
Will the United States trade
suffer by the fact that armed
merchantmen cannot use Ameri-
can ports?
These are some of the questions
which the next few months will
present for answer.
Already 1t is announced that
ships of the White Star and Cum
ard lines the two most important
British lines, will, at an early date
cease to use New York as their
western port, but will ply between
Halifax and Liverpool.
This will be necessitated~ by the
Lloyd George order to arm mer-
chantmen, against submarine at
tack.
Under international law a mer-
chant vessel armed must be treat
ed as a warship and when it en-
tered an American port would
have to be interned.
Censorship Tight.
Any other course would be an
offense to Germany equivalent to
declaration of war. Accord
ingly, as soon as the order to arm
is carried into general effect New
York, Boston, Baltimore and 9TH
er American Atlantic ports will
lose the commerce which has been
carrying provisions and munitions
to the allies.
This shipping, according to
plans Of Lloyd George, is to go
from Canadian ports and is to be
conveyed in part by fast British
cruisers.
The close censorship at London
has permitted little news to come
across of the serious results of the
new campaign of the Germans
against transatlantic shipping or
the drastic steps to be taken to
meet 1t.
II is evident, howdever. that the
effects are already such that the
war council feel that there is real
danger in the situation and a real
possibility that the improved and
increasingly numerous submarines
might in fact serious impair IL not
blockade British shipping.
An enormous number of ships

SITE IS IDEAL
FOR BIG CAMP

American lake prairies furnish
the only really ideal site for an
army post that United States army
engineers have been able to find.
There are vast stretches of open
prairie. much rolling hill country,
wooded areas and semi-wooded
areas.
There Is good water, splendid
drainage, good transportation IA
cilities, access to several large
lakes, and salt water. The tract
has a frontage on the Sound,
where the storage depots would
probably be located.

HOBoKEN, N. j., Jan. Al
have just erected chart of the
heavens for 1917 and l find the
year will be sad, dramatic and
eventful epoch in our country's
life!
During the first and last quar-
ters of the year our soldiers, ma
val forces and diplomats will ex-
perience much trouble, and Presi-
dent Wilson will have to guard
against the acts of fanatics.
| do not see any peace in sight
until July, 1917, and at that time
both France and Russia, II not
England, will, it appears, block
the movement, in which case there
will be no peace until 1920.

war and poverty are the greatest
drags on humanity. They insist O
the lower life. They allow the great
est tyranny because it appears to safe
guard law and order.
FEAR is the Great Enemy. We
console ourselves for all our blunders
and disgraces by 'the bravery of our
soldiers"-as set forth in war corre-
spondence carefully edited by them
selves.
No doubt our soldiers fight fierce
ly enough; there Is nothing new in
the fact that Man Is the most dan
gerous of the animals. War is an orgy
of crime based on the determination Of
the soldier to stick at nothing to bring
1t to an end and get out of daily danger
of being shot. Every soldier confesses
this; his pet paradox is that clemency
is mistaken kindness

 WASHINGTON, April 6-Presi- dent Wilson signed a declaration of war against Germany at 1:19 D. m.
 The war resolution had been sign ed by Vice President Marshall at 12:14 D. m. and forwarded to the president by special messenger
 The attaching of the official sig nature was an occasion of the most profound solemnity.
 The declaration of war was spread on the desk of Secretary Tumulty and President Wilson became seated.
 His expression was such, that one would hardly believe him to be the same man who during the past few years has been advocating peace.
