Offensive Picks Up.
This weeks figures of vessels sunk
by submarines show that the allied
navies are keeping up the good work
of the previous fortnight and the
American unit altho still a small one
shares the credit for excellent work
Not only are the sinkings being kept
at fairly low figure, but the offensive
against U-boats also continues to show
favorable results The actual figures
IN this respect, however, are not
known.
The German naval people thruout
;he early months of the ruthless
U-boat war freely predicted that Eng
land would he ION her knees" by
June !, but June / is almost here and
German victory in the submarine war
fare seems as far distant as ever An
admiralty official, speaking TO the AS
sociated Press, said
L. =. DcstroycrS Help.
The American destroyers are play
ing no small part in the antisu bmarine
war and our officers have expressed
the greatest enthusiasm at the spirit,
enterprise, acumcn and quick -wittcd-
ness VITA which the American unit has
taken up its work. II is the old Ameri-
can doctrine of keeping everlastingly
at it,
THE Germans who at first said they
would strip us of our tonnage by
June have now advanced the date to
october and we are confident that
when october comes they will be un-
der the same necessity of advancing
the date again"

Germany is shown by official records
to be greater than was believed.

Americans in different parts OF the
territory now controlled by Germany
are being prevented from leaving.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Selfish-
ness and revenge do not belong ex-
clusively to men in obscure positions
in the world, but often come to the
surface in men in high official posi-
ton in the counsels of government.
This fact has been set forth in bold
relief in few instances in the house
of representatives. when men have
made utterances on the floor in dis
cussing the revenue-r raising tax bill.
OF course the tax bill is very much
complicated, but on not a few occa-
sions have representatives given evil
dence of their selfish and revengeful
thots.
Attacked by Two Sets.

attacked by two sets of men-those
having alleged personal grievances
and pacifists who blame the newspa-

to treat with the American govern
ment regarding grain shipments for
Sweden, today described the food
situation in Sweden.
The peasants in the northern parts
of Sweden are now making bread

produces enough wheat for its own
consumption. Before the war we got
ample supplies from Russia, but none
comes from that country now, owing
to the shortage of transportation ia
cilities, which is even causing peo-
pie in Finland and in Petrograd itself
