The band men played several pieces
for them and as the train began to

choke back the Jumps that arose in

million who are going to war for

brought to our front door.
"Cube" and Harold have been en-

HAS THE U-BOAT MENACE
BEEN SOLVED
Chairman of Naval Advisory Board
Talks SuggestiVely OF New InVen-
tiOnS.

A program to stop the ravages Of
German submarines on maritime COM
merce has been submitted to the gov
ernment by the naval advisory board
This was announced Sunday by W L.
Saunders, chairman of the board. He
said the plan. in his opinion, was a
practical solution of the U-boat pro-
blem. He said it was not purely the
oretical, but that it had been proved
by actual tests along the Atlantic
coast.
The scheme is not merely a defen-
sive measure against the submarine.
Mr.. Saunders said 1T called for often
sive operations on an extensive scale. %
Thomas A. Edison, who is president
OF the board did not originate the
scheme, Mr. Saunders said. But the
inventive wizard he said, had been
working tirelessly to perfect its many
phases. Since declaration OF war
against Germany Mr.. Edison and his
assistants have been trying thousands
of schemes suggested to block Ger
many's undersea warfare, now admit
tedly the greatest menace to the Euro
pean allies and their new American
partner the United States.
Behind the program submitted tC
the navy department is all of the Edi
sonian practicability and all of Edi
sons definite skill in accomplishing
the seemingly impossible. Announce
ment of the scheme by the chairmal
of the board dispelled doubts that
might be merely another academic ide
devoid Of practical use. And that tn
board made experiments before maxim
their find public. left little doubt il
the minds of the navy officials that a

If the plan works. as few doubt

PINAFORE NEXT WEEK.
Cast OF Characters and Outline Of
Beautiful Opera 10 BE Given by
Home Talent.

To some the name of "Pinafore" sug-
gests some sort of a children's enter
tainment, where in reality it is the
title of one of the most popular Eng
lish operas ever written. 1t has been
given by professional companies and
local singers in almost every city in
this country and England and never
fails to please the music loving peO-
pie. There is enough Wit and humOr
in the dialOg to make the story inter-
esting and the beautiful harmOnies
and melodies of the opera are catchy
and tuneful TO such a degree as to be
the most popular of the light opera
selections.
"Pinafore" was written many years
ago by the celebrated English COM
poser, Gilbert and Sullivan, as
travesty on conditions then existing
in naval and military circles, and it
was largely due to this opera, which
attracted the attention Of the general
public to the gross mismanagement
of affairs that better conditions were
brought about and the civil service re-
form was first brought about.
Previous to this time positions Of
rank and station were to be bought
and occupied without regard TO ability
and both the army and navy were Of
fcered by many incompetent indivi-
duals but as public attention was
drawn to this state Of affairs these
men were displaced by those having
real merit and understanding Of the
service
"Pinafore" will be presented in the
Auditorium next week by about fifty
of the local singers under the direc-
tion of Martin +. Robinson of Seattle.
