Simplicity in Army Dress.

The London Times reporter who
met General Pershing and his staff
on the occasion of their passage
through the British metropolis was
so much impressed with the sim
pNcity of the officers uniforms that
he described them in some detail for
the benefit of the Thunderer's read
ers. Especially did he remark that,
compared to those Of the British
army, the Americans uniforms are
unobtrusive. This may comfort some
of our home folks, who have fmbibed
their idea of official dress from
watching a parade of the governors
stan, says the Omaha Bee. As a mat
ter of fact, the American army officer
never has been given to excess In the
matter of dress. While he has always
been arrayed more definitely than was
Gungha Dhin, be has at no time
sought to shame the MONDAY sun,
and some of his greatest accomplish
ments have been achieved at times
when his apparel was least impress
sive. General Grant received the sur
render Of Robert 10. Lee attired In a
battered service uniform, much worse
for hard riding over dusty roads on
that memorable morning, and many
stories are related Of how General
Washington went among his men UNI
recognized because of the lack Of Off
cial designation.

They cling to the fringes of the
French and British armies, where
they know there Is real food. They
live practically on what the armies
give them. They are what the Ger

They were driven from their little
villages razed and looted. Their
farms are pitted with shell holes.
When they get food they eat 1t al
most literally as their cave men an
cestors ate it-with their fingers. To
help these people get back on their

Dutch Are Heaviest Smokers.

How many of us will make the In
creased duty on tobacco jumping Off

more In Great Britain that would be
the case, say, In Holland, where the
average smoker consumes four times
as much tobacco as does the English
man, says the London Chronicle.
An ingenious German few years
ago worked out the rank of countries
In smoking. After Holland, which
takes easily the first place, come Aus

WHERE SUBMARINES GO OUT
With English Channel Blocked There
| 10 Only One Open Channel From
| German Ports Into Atlantic.

| There are two ways Of getting into
the Atlantic ocean from German ports.
One Is through the English channel,
which has been blocked since the be-
ginning of the war; the other Is
through the North sea, which English
naval strategy has thus far failed to
close.
The narrowest outlet of the northern
route is between the Orkney islands
and the coast of Norway. a distance of
240 miles. But the depth of water at
! this point Is such that submarines may
easily dive below any mine or net sys-
tenn that might be stretched across the
wide neck of the bottle here.
/ South of this line the water becomes
shallower, and mine or net laying be-
comes effective from Marlborough
Head directly across to the coast of
Jutland, passing over the famous Dog
ger bank, with from 60 to 100 feet of
water, to the shallower depths over the
Jutland bank. Below that point there
is more shoal water, with frequent
banks and ridges and flats which have
to be carefully avoided by mariners,
and which make submarine operation
difficult.
The problem, then, lies In the east
ern part OF the North sell, where par
ticularIy deep waterloo to 500 feet
off the coast of Norway, affords pas
sage for the submarines. German u
boats easily pass from the Baltic
through the Cattegat-an international
waterway-into the deep water found
just off the Skaw at the tip of Den
mark, and thus into the North sea,
hugging the shores of Norway all the
way.
A stopper in the Cattegat would
solve the problem, and the feat Is not
impossible, although England would be
greatly aided by the neutrality Of Nor
way and Denmark.
Since under present conditions an
actual blockade is impossible, the evil
has been reduced by canalizing 1t. In
other words. the navy is forcing the
U-boats to take certain narrow and
difficult channels, and keeping as cloae
watch as possible over these routes.
But they cannot stretch nets deep
enough to block the only exit remain
ing to Germany. Perhaps the new
device" which American inventors
hope will eliminate the U-boat as Il
factor In the war has to do with an
effective stopper for this outlet
