GERMAN U-BOATS BEATEN
DECLARES LLOYD-GEORGE
British Premier Praises American
Fleet-No Danger of Starvation
in England.

London, England, May 26.-"The
successes against submarines have re-
suited in a distinct improvement in
our food situation" said Premier
Lloyd George in the house of commons.
The premier said more effective
blows had been dealt the submarines
in the last three weeks than in any
corresponding period of the war.
Shipping losses for May, the premier
said, probably will show reduction
from the April figures.
In speaking of the success of the an
George said:
1--WE owe very considerable debt
of gratitude to the great American
people for the effective assistance they
have rendered and the craft they have
placed at our disposal. Now that the
American nation is in the war it is cas-
Ter to make arrangements for the pro-
lection of our mercantile marine than,
it was before"
Mr.. Lloyd George asserted that
there was no danger of starvation
threatening the country, but that the
utmost economy OF foodstuffs was still
essential.
'"The submarine menace need cause
no fear that the war is going to be lost
for that reason" he declared IF it
is true that the Germans are depend
ing mainly upon submarine warfare
for success, am able to say they are
doomed TO disappointment. The Ger
mans submarine warfare is destined
to be the greatest miscalcuiation in
the whole series Of miscalculations of
that hated empire"
The premier's statement on subma-
rine warfare was altogether the most
satisfactory heard in England In many
months.

GERMANS WARNED
Of i. 5. PLANS
Spies Being Hunted by the Navy
Department.
GREATER SECRECY is URGED
News Of Departure of American Fleet
to War Zone Believed to Have
Been Sent Through Mexico
or South America.

Washington, May 26.-The German
spy system is in operation within the
United States army and fleet. Not only
are spies obtaining information they
want in this country. but they are able
to get it to Berlin in time for German
submarines to menace American war
ships and soldiers on the seas.
This was admitted by the navy de-
partment. Secretary Daniels announced
that word Of the sailing of an
American destroyer fiotilla for Europe
had been wired ahead to Ger
many and that German submarines
had succeeded in scattering mines at
the entrance of the harbor for which
the American warships were bound.
Daniels Makes Statement.
The following statement was issued !:
For days before the arrival of the
American destroyer fleet abroad Ber-
lin knew that the vessels were on the
way and to what port they were going,
according to advices from Admiral
Sims.
A1C ACPOlt 10 tudI IlC pOSlLlNO III
formation that Germany was thus in
formed in advance, and sufficiently far
in advance that the port of entrance
of the destrOyers was mined the day
previous to their arrival.
Greater Secrecy Urged
'.rhe department calls attention to
this fact as proof that the German spy
system is still at work in this country,
making imperative the need of Sc
crecy in connection with our naval
operations. The premature publica-
ton of ship movements is particularly
a source of danger.
'The department, while realizing
that the newspapers did not give this
information, would be pleased if the
fact were brought to the attention of
editors by way of showing what ex-
IRENE care is required in shielding
military information from the enemy,
whether it becomes public through the
press or otherwise"
The fact that the information
reached Germany with little or no de-
lay is expected to result in a thorough
investigation of the navy censorship.
1t is quite impossible, in the view
of officials, that the message could
have gone over either the British or
French cables, the only other con-
struction being open that it went
first to Mexico or South America
and then was relayed by wireless.
The source Of the leak" win cause
the deepest probe. 1t was admitted
shortly after the declaration of war
that six persons suspected of spying
had been discovered in the state, war
and navy building.
AS soon as the first report was re-
ceived from Admiral Sims showing
German knowledge of American plans
an investigation was instituted by
the several departments Of the gov.
eminent and the secret service.

Washington, May 26.-Conferees on
the espionage bill have drawn modi-

EVOLUTION OF A CLUB.

Atlanta papers announce that the
junior order of old-fashioned women
in that city will send dressing gowns
to France for convalescent soldiers
instead of giving each other elegant
gifts at Christmas as they have been
doing all their lives. This reminds US
that the original order of old-fashion-
ed women, mothers of these juniors,
evolved from circle of young ma
irons who had been school-mates and
lived in Atlanta after they went to
housekeeping. All were prominent
in society and wealthy and We'd with
one another in giving beautiful
luncheons. One day as the "chums"
of former school days took their
places around table decorated with
exquisite beauty and originality, one
said, after the exclamations of de-
light had ceased: "This is the limit
and can never be surpassed in lunch
con table effects, suppose we cease
from entertaining in this way and
devote our time to something more
worth while" So the friends sat
around the table and planned to
'teach the orphan boy to read and
teach the orphan girl to sew" or at
least deeds of similar nature. They
endowed beds in hospitals, supplied
rooms in homes for the friendless
and were constant in all things for
the good of the unfortunate and un-
happy from whatever cause. Their
career as an order has not been me-
teoric in any sense but constant and
steady as the glow of a constellation
in midsummer skies. This most be-
neficent order would never have
come to life without the organiza-
tion Of the luncheon club by that
circle of devoted school mates.

TRANsMOGRIFIcATIONs.

Pardon me, but it takes big word
to even indicate the changes taking
place now in all kinds of human ac-
tivities, beliefs and behavior.
Things once considered beneath
the dignity of lady, such as carry
ing bundles and baskets on the street
are now strictly correct. Even leav-
ing clean plates is now considered a
conscientious matter.
Do you remember the story, in the
smart set style, of the ill-bred million
aire who offended his fine lady wife
in so many details of behavior and
finally "fell in the soup" to use an
ancient slang phrase by fitting his
soup plate to extract the last precious
| drop as if it had been the elixir of
life? That story ''The Transmogri-
fication of Dan" deserves a place be-
side any little classic ever written be-
cause it shows how the poor husband
humiliated and driven almost into
complete misanthropy by his heart
less wife, was brought to life-even
to noble manhood-by the love and
clinging hands Of his infant son. 1t
proves that love is the greatest thing
in the world. So it is that our cher
ishing and grateful love for our sol
diers is transforming the world just
as the spring sunshine changes the
face of the earth after it's wintry
sleep. Do not be afraid of getting
out Of the ruts of tradition.
All this occurred to me after read
in this mornings Constitution about
the wedding of beautiful young
lady in Atlanta to young man who
left his bride Immediately after the
ceremony to return to his work in
Philadelphia while she resumes hers
in Atlanta. Both are interior decor
ators and have been lovers for a long
time. Of course soldiers often leave
their brides to return to the war.
Moreover the bride was dressed in
black velvet with hat to match, but
remember Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was
dressed just that way for her wedding
ceremony. A. L. c.
