submarines. Among other things, re- ports show that Germany probably has POO 1,OOO-ton submarines of the newer type capable of q wide radius of action and greater execution than any devised by other nations.
 The very latest German submarines have considerably thicker skins than earlier types and are said to be able to take considerable punishment from light guns, especially in clashes with armed merchant craft.
 The understanding is that the Ger man navy has largely standardized submarine construction and can turn out the largest underwater craft tn large numbers in a short time.
 In view of the feyerish activity Of the German navy in turning out sub- marines, naval experts are not inclined to belittle the task which lies before the United States and the allies in ridding the high seas of the under water menace. If Germany can turn out large, powerful submarines In great numbers and keep them coming steadily the task will prove anything but easy.
 The fact that the tonnage destroyed since Feb. 1 has been far below the figure set by Berlin has encouraged the belief in the allied countries that Ger many has already passed her maxi mum in utilizing the submarine to ''starve" England and the nations fighting with that country.
 But American naval officers are not inclined to take this view. Although they are confident tie submarine prob lem will be solved, they will not be surprised if it takes long time.
 Naval preparations for all emergen- cies have settled down largely to rou- tine. Instead of being in haste navy department officials and navy officers go about their tasks with cool determi- nation. Some of the higher officers skip the barber shop occasionally and work long hours in their offices and in their homes after office hours. But there Is no outward evidence of excitement in or about the navy department The machinery is in smooth running order and appears to be working with pre- cision.

"Tha volunteer system does not do this. When men choose them selves they sometimes choose with out due regard to their responsi- bilities. Men may come from the farms or from the mines or from the factories or centers of business who ought not to come, but ought tc stand back of the armies in the field and see that they get every thing ina they need and that the people of the country are sustained in the meantime.
 "The principle of the selective draft, in short, has at it's heart this idea t'at there is a universal ob- ligation to serve and that a public authority should choose those up on whom the obligation of military service shall rest and also in sense choose those who shall do the rest of the nations work.

Washington, April 27,-The sell edtive conscription plan of the ad- ministration's army bill Is termed a safety valve" for the United States, in a letter written by Presi- dent Wilson to Congressman Hel- vering of Kansas. The letter in part, follows:
 q welcome the inquiry of your letter of April 19 because I have realized the truth of what you say from my own observations, namely that what is meant to be understood by the selective draft ds not gen arally understood throughout the country.
 "Our object is mobilization of all the productive and active fore es of the nation, and their deVel- opment to the highest point of CO., operation and efficiency, and the idea CF the selective draft is that those should be chosen for service in the army who can be most read lily spared from the prosecution Of the other activities which the coun- try must engage in and to which 1t must devote a great deal of it's best energy and capacity.

AS the result of an accidental dis

his mother, Manson Keel,o7 aged II
Years, is in very critical condition
at the cordele sanatorium. The bull
let took effect in the young mans ans
right side, penetrating the l backbone 20
Aand probably permanently injuring the
spinal cord, causing paralysis. In the
event of his recovery from the wound
it is not thought by attending physi-
clans that he will recover the use
of his lower limbs.
The young man is the son OF Mr..
and Mrs. S. L. Keel, who reside near
Rochelle in Wilcox county. The acct
dent occurred about noon Saturday
