The U-boat Amuck.

There ought to be short shrift for
any German submarines that have
crossed the Atlantic and are infesting
the American coast line.
1t is true that our submarine chaser
flotilla will not be ready in less than
four months; that our present patrol
is admittedly inadequate; that the
navy is unprepared for any compre-
hensive attack on shipping on the
fringe of our territorial waters,
Nevertheless. the navy in its pres
ent state is not altogether impotent,
and in quality it is exceeded by none
in the world. 1t can commander a
fleet of .high-power motor boats, the
craft of Newport and Point Judith,
for emergency purposes. A start al
readyIhas been made in this direction,
but it is proceeding too slowly.
If Germany desires to send flock
of U-boats to our shores, the chal-
lenge should be welcome. The sub
marine bases she tried to establish
should be ferreted out swiftly, no
matter what the cost; any mother
ships" or supply ships, lying off the
coast, should be located and extermi-
mated. Our naval experts are ready
and eager for the work; of that we
have no doubt.
The foolhardiness of the German
exploit lends romantic tinge to it,
and will give the public a tangible
grip and grasp on the war spirit that
has been created. If shipping is sunk
and lives are lost, it will demonstrate
to the most phlegmatic pacihsts that
it is condition, and not a theory,
that confronts US.
Germany has extended the war to
the western hemisphere without the
formality of extending her blockade
zone by proclamation. She is work
ing in the dark now. The attack on
the destroyer Smith should act upon
America as the Zeppelin raids did on
London; it should stimulate recruit
ing and give US a more vivid, intimate
picture of the peril that is before the
nation.

The Vienna Peace Kite.

Austria's naive play for separate
peace with Petrograd, the second in
a month, leads to a group of interest
ing deductions
First, that she has cut loose from
Potsdam's leading strings as far as
she dares. She refuses further abject
subordination to the German mill
tary clique. She is acting for peace
independent of joint Teutonic inter
ests; she retracts Berlin's war aims
so far as they involve annexation, in
demnity or sggrandizement. She is
frankly willing and anxious to return
to the status quo.
Second, that in "this fascinating
moment of Teutonic history" it is In
the dual monarchy. and not Germany,
where the vital. telling blow against
autocracy in the central empires will
be struck. The upheaval will come
first in the nondescript nation of the
Hspsburgs; like an infection, it will
spread to Prussia when the military
debacle arrives.
Third, u that the Emperor Charles
failed to fall under the spell of the
Kaiser at the recent war conference.
He sees the road of his own self
interest spreading apart from Prus-
sia's. He is not willing to become a
complete satellite of Potsdam, either
during the war or after the war. The
repeated reverses of his major ally
have given him courage.
Fourth, that the German people,
being intelligent, will not fail to read
the meaning of this new peace move,
undertaken independently of Berlin.
Nor will the Bulgarian. Nor the
Turk. They will know it is an off
shoot of the Russian revolution and
american intervention. Rage at the
faint-hear.edness and possible deser-
ton of their allies will not blind the
German people to the folly and fatu-
ity of the policy being pursued by
their own government.
OF course, Austria will not get the
separate peace she Graves. The sig
niicant thing is that she Graves il.

Are flung to the breeze.
And war pennants wave thick
As the leaves on the trees;

In defense of the right;
When the valleys that lie
Twixt the Rockies far slope
And the ranges that rim
The Atlantic cry Hope

When the hurricane raves

Admitting they were sur
prised at the settlement of the
proposed railway strike by the
managers association and the
brotherhoods early Sunday
morning the heads of the rail
roads entering Utah voiced
their amazement at the deci-
sion of the supreme court of
the United States unfolding
the Adamson eight-hour law
constitutional and declaring
that the employees of the rail
roads and other public service
corporations had not the right
to strike In concert, says the
Salt Lake Herald Republican.
While the railroad heads had
set themselves for an opinion
by the supreme court holding
the act constitutional, they, to-
gether with the brotherhoods,
did not think that the question
of the right of employees of
railroads and other public ser
vice corporations to strike
would be determined by the
court.

ST. CHARLES NOTES

John Mattson was over from St
Charles Monday. He reports that the
Relief Society of that place celebrat-
ed the anniversary or the organiza-.
ton, last Friday, in grand style
Nearly all of the married folks in
the ward assembled at the Amuse-
ment hall at II o'clock. A program of
speeches and songs was conducted
until noon, when all enjoyed the big
feast which had been prepared for
the occasion. The program was con-
tinued during the afternoon At
night there was a dance which was
attended by both old and young.
John said that 1t was the most en-
joyable event of the kind that had
been held in st. Charles for q long
time.
He also informed us that upon his
return from Boise, where he served
as member of the Legislature, Bish-
OPP Transtrum, was most agreeably
surprised to learn that the Indebted
ness on the amusement hall, which
amounted to $500. had been paid
off during his absence. Credit for
the liquidation Of the debt is largely
due to Counsellors John Hunt and
Joe Linford. Soon after the Bishop
went to Boise they conceived the idea
of clearing the debt in his absence.
The people OF st. Charles responded
so literally to the call for funds that
the required amount was raised The
ward now boasts Of having the larg-
est and best appointed amusement
hall in the stake, as we'll as one OF
the best meeting houses.

passenger runs may be so ar
