risrs Bill to BE Pushed.
IBy E. G. Dougherty.l

Washington, Dec. 21.-There isn't
chance in the world for Senator Ken
yon to get his bill thru congress pro-
ivding for a reduction Of $4,000 q year
in salaries OF senator's and representa-
tives for the war.
Last session Mr.. Kenyon announced
that he favored reduction in salaries
of congressman from $500 to $4,000 q
year. This time he went farther and
introduced the bill. And he insists he
will press 1t at the first opportunity.
But there isn't chance Efforts have
been made ever so often to reduce the
congressmen's twenty cents mileage,
but without success. 1t Is too much to
ask congress to. lop off such a big
chunk of its own payroll when 1T IS
voting bigger salaries for potentates In
the new bureaus springing up around
Washington, and while such salaries
are being paid out Of the presidents
emergency appropriations.
THE great majority Of the people are
obliged to get along with less money
than they had before the war COM
menced." Senatr Kenyon said in IN
Producing his measure. why should
not members of congress do so. am
ready to give $4,000 of my money to
help the taxpayers of the country"
No echoing sentiments of this CHAR
acter have been heard in the senate,
however, and it may safely be waserefd
that the bill will never emerge from
committee. Y

An effort will be made this session
to pass the Madden bill, providing TOT
increased pay for city and rural mall

a fight on the floor for it's adoption.

GERMANY MUST FORCE WAR; WILSON'S STAND DEFINED
Vessel Safe
With
Small Guns Best Defense
Against Submarines, Says
Man Close to British Ad-
miralty.

New York, Feb. 9.--Although figures
to show the number of submarines de
stroyed by the entente allies and the
means used in their destruction are
unavailable owing to the rigid censor
ship on war activities. 1t was learned
here tonight from an authoritative
source that direct gunfire from the
decks of warships and auxiliary vcs-
sells has been the most effective meth
cd employed thus far.
To combat the submarine menace
the British government and her allies
have adopted various plans to catch
the under-sca boats, although some OF
them have been abandoned as inef-
fcctivc. 4 marine authority of un-
questioned standing. who is close to
British shipping interests. said today
when asked as to the effectiveness OF
arning ships;
Light Guns Best.
we have found that light guns dis
pounds, in hands of trained gunncrs
have been by far the most effective
weapons. AS many as two and three
submarines have been baggcd in on,
day in this way.
"A submarine commander looking
through a periscopc has range of vi
sion Of about three miles, but he must
get his target broadside on to have a
reasonable chance of making a torpedo
hit what it is aimed for, as torpedocs
take many chances on u miss.
Periscope Good Mark.
distance of 200 or 800 yards makes a
fair mark for Il gunner working from
the deck of Il ship 80 or 40 feet above
the surface of tho sea. ono shot hit
ting the mark is all that Is needed, AZ
the submarines arc OF light construc-
ton and hole anywhere in thcii
shell spells their doom.
1T is seldom that torpedo is fired
when II threatened ship can so mancu-
vcr as to show only her stern for Il
nature tho submersiblcs have come [.
the surface and resortcd to punflrc
from n deck gun In this kind of n
fight u gun mounted on u steamship
has great advantage, for the plat
form of Il submarine Is unsteady.
Armed Ship Fairly Safe.
Careful observations of steamers
mounting defense guns show that they
arc in Il measure immune from attack
unless 1t Is without warming Th,
number of u~hoats that the Germans
have lost have made them Chary about
showing themselves within range OF
ships on which they see guns or which
they have learned are dcfensively
armed
"Other methods of catching subma
rincs. such as nets, bombs and devices
that are admiralty secrets, are still
being used, but the deck gun on steam
crs in the hands of good marksmcn Is
leading all others in results"
