Submarines Won't Win the
Victory

Amsterdam. July 29.-Vice
Admiaal Macmillan Mcgowan,
commander of the Austrian fleet
in an interview given to The
Neue Freie Presse, declared he
did not believe submarines
would bring about a decision in
the war. He said;
AT present the U-boats are
much spoken of as making
England, Austria's principal en-
emy, uncomfortable. but they
merely are means toward
victory. 1t would be mistake
to believe from the experiences
of this war that big ships are
useless. but for us the essential
type is that of light cruisers.
IF we had a great fleet, the
war with Italy would have been
finished long ago. Indeed the
war would never have been
possible"

submarine that ran ashore on
the French coast west of Calais
on Thursday was not DESTROYED
when it's crew set fire to the gas
oline tank, but was captured by
a troop of Belgian cavalry, re-
calling the exploit of the French
Hussars who 1894 captured an
icebound Dutch fleet, according
to a dispatch from Calais TODAY.
The stranded submarine was
first sighted by a customs officer.
He called upon some Belgian
horsemen who were exercising
nearby to come to his help.
They rode down the beach, the

u-boat and made prisoners of
the crew while the astonished
countryside watched accom-
plishnent of the feat.

the men rode their bicycles.
Some sections Of the battalion

An excellent course in militare
training under competent in
structors will be offered at the
University OF South Carolina
next session. This course will
be compulsory for Freshmen and
Sopomores, and voluntary for
all other students. Guns and
accoutrements have been fprn-
ished by the United States Gov
eminent. and an army officer
will be detailed for service at
the University as soon as Such
an officer is available.
The war Department promises
that when this officer has been
appointed a Reserve Officers
Training Corps will be estab-
lished at the University. In the
meantime, students must furnish
their own uniforms. These are
less expensive and more dura-
bic than ordinary citizens clothes,
and will therefore be more
economical,

Severe Inroads on German
Army

French Front, June 25 (Cor-
respondence of the Associated
PresS.-Severe inroads have
been made on the strength of
the German troops holding the
line on the Franco British front
during the attack delivered on
them in the month of April. May
and June. An estimate made on
well established averages dem
onstrates that these losses
must approximate $4,000 men.
Before the spring operations
of the French and British began,
the German front had been di-
vided into two sectors entirely
independent of each other. One
faced the French between the
Disc and the Swiss frontier and
was under command of the Ger
man crown prince. The other
confronted the British from the
North sea to the Disc and was
commanded Bavarian crown
prince.
AT the beginning of the Fran
co-British offensives the Ger
mans had at their disposal on
the whole front stretching from
the North sea to Switzerland 147
divisions, of which 105 were
actually in the front line and 42
in the rear ready any moment
their help was needed. These
reserve divisions were about
equally distributed in the north
ern and southern sectors. The
Russian situation permitted the
Germans to dispatch some of
their active divisions from and
at the same time they formed
several new divisions which
they brought to the French front
so that on June 20 the number
of their divisions facing the
French and British was l55, in
spite OF the fact that they had
replied the active divisions
brought to the French front SO
that on June 20 the number OF
their divisions facing the French
and British was l55, in spite of
the fact that they had replaced
the active divisions brought
from Russia by units sent from
this side.

Refuses to Give News to Ger

Washington, July 29.-The
movement of American troops
to France will be carried on alb.
solutely without publicity if the
present policy of the war de-
partment remains unaltered.
Secretary Baker and some of
his military advisers believe that
no word should be published of
the arrival of troops abroad and
1t is probable that this will be
made clear to all newspapers
and press associations in forth
coming regulations under the
voluntary censorship to which
the press of the country has SUBJ
jected itself.
Assurances have been given
both by navy and army officials
that disasters will not be hidden
under the veil of this censorship,
and presumable under the new
regulations also the American
people will be expected to un-
derStand that no news is good
news in this respect.
No official explanation has
been made of the reason under
lying the decision to withhold
for publication announcement
of the arrival of troops.

Britain's s New Army
London Times.

London Times.
A year ago we were thrill ng
to the first triumphs of our new
armies. We had doubts-it can
now be confessed-of those
armies, not active mistrust, but
sufficient misgivings to tinge
our hopes.
In the course of the year these
new armies of ours have taken
over 10000 prisoners, including
800 officers. They have cap.
tured $50 German guns, with
more than 1000 minor pieces
like machine guns and trench
mortars.
This is the capture of mighty
army, an army of ten whole
German divisions as now consti-
tuted, with all its equipment
These new armies have had
against them the whole military
strength of the German Empire
that is to say, of every divis
ion in the German armies.
1t is these new armies which
in the course of the year have
taken all three ridges-namely
the Albert Ridge, the Vimy
Ridge, and the Messines Ridge
on which, from Ypres to the
Somme, the Germans had drawn
their lines as being the strongest
positions to hold on this front,
enthroned on which they over
looked all our preparations for
attack. No fortress IN history
possessed one tithe of the defen-
slve strength of any one of these
ridges fortified as the Germans
had fortified them, and held by
the flower of the German army
under the strictest orders to fight
to the death and not yield an
inch of ground. Each ridge
was not single fortress, but a
mass of clustered forts and SO
single places from Beaumont
Hamel to Messines, from Po
zieres TO La Coulotte. were each
much more than any Kronstadt
or Sebastopol.
This is what our new armies
have done in the course of the
year. Of course, they have won
much ground, a hundred villag-
es and endless strongholds and
redoubts. But geography is i'm
material. The task set them
was not the winning of acres,
but the breaking the German
armies. which, with 40 years Of
preparation, had thought them
selves invincible and had pro-
posed to overrun all Europe and
constitute themselves dictators
OF the world. Without prepara-
ton and averse from war, the
peaceful peoples of the British
Empire, inspired by their cause
and by virtue of the stuff that is
in them, have made themselves
into a power which first held at
bay, then made head against,
and is now wearing down the
strength of Germany, and of the
manner in which they have
done 1t it is impossible 10 speak
in adequate phrases.

GOVERNOR BESIEGED
TO MAKE STATE DRY
Butte Recruits Behavior
Cause of Many Protests.

Helena. Oct. because OF alleged
drunken orgies which are said to have
taken place when conscripts left Butte
recently, Governor Stewart has been
besieged with requests to call a special
session of the legislature for the pur.
pose Of passing laws that will make
prohibition effective at once.
One Of the latest protests came from
Mrs. T. II. Swenson. corresponding
secretary of the ". c. T. T.. of Butte,
who telegraphcd her protest against
the events described and urged immc-
date prohibition. In reply to her
telegram the governor today wrote tho
following.
Your telegram relative to the con-
ditions surrounding the departure of
the conscripted men who left Butte
recently has been received. In reply
will say that l very much regret that
such a disgraceful occurrence should
have taken place in the state of Mon
tana,
up to this time, it has seemed to
me that we could get along without
the incidental expense and trouble Of
special legislative session. Never
theless. permit me to say In this con-
nection, that II there is any one thing
that would impel me to call special
session Of the legislature 1t would be
to prevent a repetition of the Butte
occurrence of which YOU complain. A
word to the wise Is sufficient and those
who are interested in the subject will
do well to take unto themselves the
