Expenditure of This
City Money For Safety
Would Be Economy

II has long been the contention of this
Newspaper that the streets of Detroit
can become safe only thru education
education of reckless drivers before stern
Judges and education of the pedestrians
ms to the rights of sane and careful
drivers and as to their responsibilities as
pedestrians in the thorofares.
Records for the past few weeks show
that the safety campaign conducted in
Detroit has borne results.
There has been a noticeable decrease in
the number of fatalities due to street ac-
cidents, in the majority of which children
are the victims.
In every newspaper Office in Detroit It
Is appreciated that much Of the credit
for this improved state Of affairs is due
Fl. L. BrowneI, director Of our Safety
First league. who has worked nntiringly
in the campaign that is beginning 70 bear
fruit
1t is proposed to continue the valuable
services OF Mr.. Brownell and 70 make
then even fore effective and productive
by engaging him in the schools where ne
will be able to have the attention Of the
children. to warn them of their danger,
to instruct them as to the precautions
they should exercise and to impress upon
them the important economic side of the
efforts in their behalf
Mr.. Brownell is exceptionally well fit
ted and capacitated for the important
work proposed for him to do. He has
made long and thoro study of the sub
ject and is equipped with all the sym
patty and energy required to push it to
the telling point.
It is intended that he shall work under
the direction of Superintendent Chadsey
as a part of our educational system.
He has consented to give his services
for the modest sum Of $4,000 for The
school period and an additional 81 900 to
provide for an assistant to operate the
films and slides which would be part
of the lecture
The proposition is now before the com
mon council and The Times suggests that
the favorable consideration Of that body
would be a stroke Of economy.

Di'- s, IF U-BOAT WAR
FARE is NOT CHECKED

.c.oot destruction of Ships is Threat
on;rq Existence of Great Britain
and France and Menacing United
States y
The enormous inroads on the world s
-hinninc made by German submarines
.Si .,-;thin the last fe wweeks has
brought to American government Of
f;c;afs q full realization of the disas-
tor that faces the United States and
tba Allies if the undersea warfare is
not checked.
Governors and State Representa-
+ives here today for National de-
Tense conference will take home to
their people a message from the gov
eminent emphasizing that there must
be the fullest coordination by the
States in war preparation if Germany
Is to be defeated.
Secretary Lane told the conference
that the great destruction of ships
was threatening the existence OF
Great Britain and France and menac
inc the United States. No one, hi
said. knew the exact number of ship:
lost recently, but estimates put las
weeks submarine toll at 100000 tons
later he explained that this estimate
probably was too high.
Secretary Lansing in a statemen
during the day declared the serious
ness Of the submarine situation coult
not be exaggerated. Reports to tn
State Department give total O.
eighty vessels lost in one week.
The British mission announced tina
the rate of destruction in recen
weeks had continued unchanged an
that it showed no alarming increas
es. All its members agree the situa
ton is critical.
a bureau of navigation report pre-
pared recently estimated the world
ship construction in io16 at slight
less than 100000 tons. If the Ger
rians keep up their present rate Q
destruction officials admit withor
hesitation that their campain. threat
ems to sweep the seas.
