Miss Fanny Durack of Australia,
the worlds greatest woman swimmer,
is planning to visit Honolulu and San
Francisco next summer. It was report
ed some time ago that Miss Durack
was in France with the Red Cross, but
the latest information shows that she
is still in Sydney.
The question barring the way to
more definite details has to do WITH
the arrangements for the trip. 1t is
known that both Miss Durack and
Nina Wylie, the later of whom Is
the worlds breaststroke champion. are
both DESTROYS of making the journey
across the Pacific. Their preference
is for late spring, which would bring
them here in, time for competition.
Whether Miss Wylie makes the trip
or not, Miss Durack is almost certain
to be seen around this city in some OF
the 1918 championships.
Mermaids' Year. @
If this has Deen great rear for
fair swimmers, next year may prove
even more successful. 1t follows that
no greater stimulation could be given
the sport than to have Miss Durack
appear in races In this country. This
was the case with the men swimmers
after Duke Kahanamohu established
his supremacy in the Olympic games
Honolulu swimming depotees have
longed to see Miss Durack in action
against Dorothy Burns, Frances Cow
ellis, Claire Galligan and other swim
mers, but all efforts to bring her to
Honolulu have failed. A few months
ago the feminine stars IN America
would have given little competition to
the Australian mermaid, but there
should be some great competition with
four or five real stars now appearing
in competition
Failed to Finish
Cair Galligan lowered one of Miss
Durack's records and promises to
make more. In letter to Ruth Stack.
er the New Rochelle mermaid said
that she did not finish in the Indian.
apolis race, when she was defeated by
Thelma Darby. According to her state
ment she stopped at the 23rd lap, and
was not told to continue. At that time
she was leading by six yards.

records during the past year, and new
marks were hung up over various dis.
tances.

BEARS ARE KEEN FOR
MEAL ON u. S. TIRES

CALIFORNIA, Oct. 3d." Even
the bears like United States
tires" remarked Manager Will
kinson of the u. S. Rubber Com
pany when he heard this one:
/ J. w. Kemp of Riverside is
back from a transcontinental
tour with a new tale of tire woe.
On his trip over he went through
the Yellowstone Park, and with
a friend camped out. He was
awakened during the night by
shouts from the nearby camp
: and, rushing over, found that
large fat bear was calmly max
ing a meal off the spare United
States Royal Cord tire on his
machine. The bears are per-
fectly tame, but seem to have a
fondness for rubber. They eat
spare tires only, said Kemp, and
do not tackle tires on wheels
touching the ground.

Many Believe
U-Boat Is Winning

The point is that good many people
here think that the public should be
told the truth so as 10 be stirred TO a
realization Of the seriousness Of the
task before them; but it is no ones job
to bring out the truth. Secretary Lane
recently started in to inform the ma
ton. He announced the figures Of
submarine losses for a week. He was
criticised for it, The British on the
following day sent optimistic reports
from London.
The truth is that some of the best in
formed and most thoughtful people
here believe that Germany is winning
the war with the submarine. They do
not predict that she will win the war.
Many things may happen in the months
Of slow and steady whiting down of
the merchant shipping of the world be-
fore the sinking of each ship becomes a
mortal blow TO England and France.
Ways may be found 10 resist the sub
marine or TO restrict its activities be-
fore that time comes, but unless such
ways arc found, or unless something
totally unexpected in military or
diplomatic way happens. there IS a
strong possibility that the submarine
will win the war

Destruction Still
Outfoots Building

Il is asked why VIC do not build ships
faster. A naval officer with our de-
stroyer squadron in Europe wrote the
other day that we should build 2O0 de-
strovcrs. The answer IL that We are
not prepared to build 200 dcs;roycrs
nor TO build merchant ships faster. The
Coethals programme calls for S,0OO,OOO
tons in eighteen months. That figure
is a guess, but even that rs not fast
enough TO hold the U-boat If the
nrcsent rate Of destruction is main
tanned.
Beating the submarine as the only
certain wav to make this country'a
great power finally available against
Germany IS the immediate problem.
Yet there is no concentration upon It,
Nothing is done about the plan to
blotk the north end Of the North Sea.
We send a few destroyers 70 England

U-Boats Are

Navies' Fuel
F french and Italian War
ships Virtually Tied
Up in Harbo
Many See Chance of
German Submarines
Winning the War
By {. w. Gilbert

N1ASHINGToN, June 3.-The pco-
~ pie Of this country have no
idea how near they are TO losing the
war.
Besides threatening to starve Eng
land, the German submarine aims to
gain control Of the seas by attacking
the fuel supplies of the Allied navies.
Fuel is to a navy what food is to peo-
pie. Every time Germany sinks an
oil tanker she strikes blow as seri-
Gus as when she sinks food ship.
The Allied navies are living from
hand to mouth so far as fuel oil sup
plies are concerned. The French and
Italian navies are practically tied up
in their ports for lack of fuel. No
more naval activity is INDUCED in than
is absolutely necessary. The United
States has no bigger and more impor-
tant task upon its hands than to keep
the Allied navies supplied with fuel
oil until such time as the submarine is
overcome. Confidence is expressed
here that this duty can be fulfilled.
But the gravity of the case is appal-

Serious Task
Confronts the u. s.

] am writing these things so that
readers of The Tribune can realize just
how serious is the prospect that con-
fronts this country. Thanks to the
overcheerful reports that are put forth
partly by the British to keep up the
courage of their own people and partly
BY the busy press agents here, who are
trying to appreciate the achievements
Of the government, the people do not
realize the situation.
1t is highly desirable that the truth
should be known. Many down here in
official position recognize its desira-
bility. They blame the British for
concealing the actual submarine sit
uation through not publishing the fig
ures for tonnage. Even departments
OF the government concerned directly
with fighting the submarine do not
know what that tonnage is. They can
only make guesses like the rest of US.
Another favorite suggestion which
is being heard here now is that the
newspapers tell the truth about the
failure OF Allied ofTensives in the West,
so that the people may be brought TO
know the truth. A couple of govern
ment officials asked me to do this yes
terday. Their belief that those Of
fensives were failure was based upon
a private report which have seen. 1t
is discredited, however, by judges Of
military movements

there would be no knockout blow, and
it was the wish Of the convention 20
concentrate the attention Of the peo-
pie on peace and negotiations.
The proceedings were rather lively
at times, but eventually resolutions
were adopted proclaiming sympathy
with the work directed TO the accom-

that the British government support

authorities of Leeds had forbidden pro
posed outdoor meetings and the Social
lists respected the ban, but during an
indoor meeting in the evening crowds
surrounded the hall. which was pro-
tected by police. When the Socialists
left the hall, wearing red rOsettes, the
crowd hooted and jeered the Socialists
of military age. The mob repeatedly
tried 10 rush the paclilsts, whom the
police had great difficulty in defending.
The message of the Workmen's and
Soldiers Delegates, which was re-
ceived with cheering, follows:

Already there is a shortage OF ships.
Already the pinch is felt severely in
more ways than one. That pinch will
grow from month 10 month as 100000

world cannot for q long time begin 10

been requested to watch President Ii
Yuan-Hung, who was expected to
morrow to introduce bill before Par
lament taking in war declaration
against Germany. But there will hard
ly be a quorum, as 250 members Of
Parliament have already left the capi-
tai. Attempts arc being made to influ-
ence the President to resign, rather
than to dissolve Parliament, the OBJ
ject being to throw the blame for any
disturbance on the militarists. II is
thought now that the President will
undoubtedly resign.
Peking Isolated
The militarists have completely lso-
lated Pcking and the provisional gov
ernment has established n strict CEN
sorship on telegraph lines. Detach-
ments of troops have already reached
Sian-wan- Chuan. twenty-five miles
from here, and Chang -Soulin, Governor
of Mukden province, has commandeered
railway cars TO bring more troops
toward Peking. ilitary headquarters
have been established here, but the
soldiers are held a short distance out
side the city. The militarists, 1t IS
said, do not intend to force a disturb
ance while they are in control Of the
railways. Traffic has thus far been
uninterrupted.
One of the demands Of the military
party, before the present provisional
government was established, was for a
workable constitution, and an election
NAV be called TO obtain one.
Dr. Sun Vat Sen, former Premier;
Tang-Shao-yi and other revolutionary
leaders have hurriedly left for Canton.
1t seems probable that if the military
governors persist in their course, the
three loyal South China provinces VIII
rise in support Of the President. The
provisional assembly of Kwang-Tung
has formally passed resolutions sup
porting the President and Parliament.
