Columbus, O.. November 25.-Tne
Ohio food administration has begun an
investigation to find who is responsible

scores of carloads of pcrishs.S,e food =
stuffs, and to have immedi4,.i action
taken to clear the tracks tree the
cars, and set the food where II will
not freeze and be wasted.
Food Administrator Croxtou called a
meeting of all commission merchants
tieup of cars loaded with perishab les.
that commission men are blamed by
cars remaining on sldetracks without
being unloaded.
Inspectors directed by J. u. Dusan,
railroad expert Of the food administra-
ton, were today at Akron and Cieve-
land, from which most serious COM
plants have been received. Four men
were detailed to Cleveland, where 1t
was reported that more than a hundred
cars, most of them loaded with vege-
tables, including potatoes. apples. cab
bage and other perisha bles, were stand
ing idle on the tracks.
An Akron report coming from a local
food administration committee brought
information to Food Administrator
Croxton that forty-seven carloads OF
perishables. all consigned to one COM
mission concern, had been sidetracked
on three railroad switches there. II
was said at the food administration Of
Ace that action will be required or

ALLIES ENCOURAGED
BY U-00AT VICTORIES
Announcement OF SIX Recent Nicto-
rfeTs May Foreshadrw Change OF
Policy i'm Making Public
Results of Chase.

Washington. Nov. 90. The tota! OF
six submarines accounted for" in the
last week has sent a wave of enthu-
siasm through naval officers here.
Lloyd George reported five sunk when
he thrilled the house of commons last
week. Yesterday the American navy
added another to the toll. This is as
many as the British merchantmen
sunk by submarines in the week be-
fore
ItNH8s hailed here today more than
as proof of the passing of the sub
marine from the menace into the nui-
sance stage. II is hailed as vic
tory of the war In which America has
played a stellar roll.
AS a proof OF this only one thing
is pointed to. Britain was slowly be-
ing starved and more and more of
when the United Ntates entered the
war. Since the first week that Ameri-
can destroyers, rushed hastily over
seas, reached the submarine zone, the
loss of merchant tonnage has steadily
declined.
What was needed was more destroy
ers-a few more than England, with
all her great naval building facilities,
could finish. The United States threw
that deciding few into the balance.
Tho safety OF the seas will steadily
increase from this time on. 1t was
believed In ofIicial circles tonight
And the thing which is doing most
TO guarantee the safe transport of
American transports and American
supplies to Europe 10 the weapon
which certain group OF naval ON
GERS discouraged and frowned upon
at the time America 1rst entered the
war. That weapon is the convoy. II
was held at that time that conveying
would not only require
more naval vessels than could be
spared, but would. in addition. only
offer additional targets to submarines
Announcement of the sinking of the
six submarines here Is believed to
q more liberal policy In
the publication of such news by both
and the United States. I'm
I'll the last few months 1t has been tho
policy to cast fear into the minds OF
German seamen by utter silence con-
earning the fate OF submarines. This
policy also served effectively to pre-
vent impatience In the allied nations
in those weeks In which no U-boats'
were sunk and to prevent questioning
OF the effectiveness and ability of the
naval leaders Now, however. that
the U-boat is on the run and the allied
patrol nearly submarine proof, COM
plete reversal of policy Ia likely. as
Il would have the effect not only OF
throwing panic into the German navy
ranks, but of encouraging and bracing
the allied pubIics.

Their development OF an international

man pretensions.
The second characteristic of mod
ern, European life has been the de-
velopment of democracy. Democratic
ideas originated in England. They
were brought to this country when II
was colontxed and received a develop
ment which was hardly dreamed OF in
the land of their birth. Thence they
spread to France, and through France
to most OF western Europe. The seeds
of democratic ideas fell. however, In
Germany among the thorns of auto
cratic government and the thorns
sprang up and choked them. Just as
the French revolution and the Napo-
