BRIEF AUTO BLAZE
STIRS LEGISLATORS

A short circuit in the electric sys-
tenn OF Automobile No. i04. belonging
to H. A. Schroeder, this forenoon
brought the fire department out on
the run to the front of the Capitol
ground where the car was standing.
Schroeder had put out the blaze that
started from the wires before the en-
CINE arrived. Henry Hapai, assistant
treasurer, turned in the alarm in re-
spouse to Schroefer's calls. The clang-
ing Of fire gongs brought the majority
of Legislators out to the front lanai
Of the Capitol in hurry up time.

U-BOAT CHASERS.
baltimore American)

There have been so many varla-
tons to the hurry call for ships that
attention has been turned from the
score or so of contracts that were
placed for U-boat chasers in the
early part of the current year. 1t
was in original expectation that at
least 100 of these small, swift gun
beats would be ready for delivery
by the first of August. a recent
announcement is to the effect that
delay in delivery of the drive nachin-
cry will interfere with the putting
of the chasers into commission on
schedule time. There are more than
200 IN building, but probably not
more than % will De ready by All
gust /.
About $50 yachts nave been put to
coast patrol service Many of these
are larger than the modelled U-boat
chasers and quite as swift. The type
Of chaser now building is a 110-foot
craft. The prcpondcrance of opinion
in naval circles seems to be that a
larger model for submarine hunters
should be adopted III the placing Of
future contracts for patrol vessels.
The theory is that the 110-foot crafts
are not large enough for the rough
water conditions prevalent in the
North Atlantic from November to
April.
In the daily volume of war litera-
ture there recently appeared the re-
production of an enthusiastic de-
scription by French newspaper of
an American submarine chaser now
patroling Frcnch waters. This YES
sci it was said, was fitted with many
ingenious contrivances and was
thought to be wonderfully adapted
to the business of hunting the u
boat. The ship referred to is, prob
ably, one of the swift American de-
stroyers, and not ono of the specially
designed U-boat chasers.

AMERICAS MESSAGE.

Such a sane, simply spoken ana
ardeptlv friendly message as ;Ellhu
Root delivered to the Russian peo-
nle upon his arrival in Petrograd last
week should operate effectively, II
ANYTHING in way Of suggestion can
SO operate, to bring the leaders OIL
the wild and woolly theories to a
community of purpose. AS IS sug-
aested by a contemporary, Mr.. Roots
message would stir the Russian
people profoundly if its sense ana
significance could reach them as the
{ sense and significance of any similar
,tterance would reach the people Oh
tho. United States. But of Russia S
170,OOO,OOO, it is doubtful whether
100000 will read and understand
the purport of either the recent mes
sage of the President Of the United
States or of Mr.. Roots friendly urge
and warning. Since the overturnlng
of Czarism organs Of opinion--feWs-
papers preaching ! the widest and
weirdest theories have sprung up
all over Russia. The President
message, according to the informa-
ton that has come back, was warped
and twisted as to it's meaning and
purpose in many of these puhlica-
tions Attempts to ridicule it were
general, though the better class OF
newspapers featured it and comment
ed upon it with; la right understand
ing of its significance.

WHO TO EXEMPT

The drainage Of millions Of men
taken away from productive occupa-
lions to fight OH the battlefields Of
Europe has so reduced the normal
and usual world food supply that
among all the belligerents engaged
in the conflict, as we'll as among
neutral nations, the question of how
to get needed daily bread and meat
has become imminent and pressing.
The United States in proportion to
its ability as a food producer more
than in any other particular can
give effective aid in bringing the
war to successful end.
1t is suggested that under these
circumstances the selcctive draft OF
men to take active part in the fight
ing should be so conducted as to pro-
vide for the exemption of al who
are known to be actively engaged
in the production of foodstuffs. The
men who are at work raising gram
and potatoes or rearing cattle, horses
sheep and poultry, cannot possibly
be more effectively or advantageous
ly employed in doing Americas part
in the fight for worldwide liberty
and future international peace and
good will. More labor is fmperatlvely
needed in the fields, on the ranches,
and in all the detail necessary to
bring sustenance from the hand OF
the producer to the mouth of the
consumer. AS the war is prolonged
every day makes it clearer that the
final mastery is becoming more and
more matter of food supply. No
food, no fight.

SIGNS OF EARLY PEACE?

While the greatest carnage the
world has ever seen still goes on,
and everything seems TO bear out
belief that the conflict will continue
for another year at least, signs are
not lacking that peace may be ap-
preaching. One of these signs is an
order just issued by the Vatican to
all missionary societies to prepare
for a resumption of work in their
respective fields. This order is taken
to mean that the Vatican has posi-
tive reasons for believing that the
end of the conflict is in sight, and
that there is more than one nation
now endeavoring to induce some Of
the more obstinate belligerents to
abandon the policy of war for military
victory's sake alone and accept the
invitation to participate in a peace
conference.
6 Another sign encouraging the be
lief that peace is near has just been
brought to light, when an investiga-
ton among the hotels formerly
owned by German subjects and closed
in May, 1915, showed that the care
takers we're quietly preparing to re-
open at an early date.

TIE ENEMY WE CONFRONT.

The Richmond Virginian calls at
tention to the fact that all Germany
certainly all Germany in so far as
authority is concerned--is incculated
with the Bismarckian theory of force.
Military power has been glorified
and the principles of the doctrine OF
violence have been inculcated rather
than those of the doctrine OF kind
ness. Kultur rather Christianity is
the religion of the directing spirits
of theImpire, while the mercy and
goodness and love of God for even his
weakest creatures find no place in
hearts hardened by greed or power.
The teachings OF Treitsche and of
Nietzsche seem to have taken firm
hold upon the nation for certainly
the lessons of their philosophy have
been generally reflected in German
conduct.
The former teaches that war is
necessary that weak peoples may be
eliminated, and that when the weak
stand in the way of the strong they
must die or submit These are his
own ,sards:: "The stateshas no power
to liaait It's own power; hence no
treaty when it becomes i11conyenient
can ,be binding: hence the very notion

SUCCESS OF LIBERTY LOAN.

The response of the nation to the
Liberty Loan has manifested its de-
termination to finance the war IN
similar emphatic manner. AS the
Richmond Journal says, while there
have been many large subscriptions
running into the millions, the ringing
note of the campaign is the unlver-
SALTY of faith expressed. The small
investor, the man with an average
income, has proved his belief in the
PRINCIPLES of the war by his acts.
He has pledged his earnings to the
government in behalf of democracy,
of humanity and of permanent peace.
The success of the loan is a genuine
triumph for democracy and the I'M
mistakable expression Of the Amerl-
can people to prosecute the war to
a swift and successful conclusion. Ii
the German spies in this country are
loyal to their Fatherland, they. will
convey the news without gambling, to
the end that the German people may
be correctly informed of what to ex-
pect if they further prolong the los
ing war they are now waging. Amer
lean valor, American wealth and
American determination are pledged
IS a unit to defeat militarism and
all that it implies. That is the true
meaning of the Liberty Loan popular
subscription.
