points Of attack had been designated
he did not disclose, but said they
might be naval bases, forts or army
concentration centers.
Both of the plans sent to Washing
ton by the consulting board call for
aggressive action on a large scale, but
can achieve definite results within
a reasonably short time," according
to Mr.. Saunders. Discussing in par
ticular the general application Of the
plan against submarines, the chair
man Of the board said:
England and France have all
along followed defensive tactics
against submarines, but we have pro,
posed aggressive operations that will
first pen the U-boats up and then
seek them out. The solution of the
submarine problem lies in the de-
struction of submarines, and not in
the building Of ships-and he have
drawn up a plan that we think will
destroy them. Our purpose is to get
the hornets in their nests, to kill the
rats in their holes! When your house
is infested with rats, you don't run
around every room killing rats when
you can. You find out where the
holes are and go after them there,
That's the only way to get rid OF
rats, and it's the only way to get rid
Of submarines
Asked why he had made public
announcement of the plan at this
time, Mr.. Saunders said he thought
it a public service to allay the fear
of the submarines which is disturb
ing this country. He said the board
had sufficient faith in its plan to feel

GREATER PRODUCTION
OF SUGAR IS URGED

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Wfth the
worlds stock of sugar being rapidly
depleted, the department of agricul-
ture today appealed to manufacturers
and farmers to increase the production
Of sugar.
Prospects are, according to the de-
partment's experts, that in many por-
tions of the area devoted to sugar
beets in this country, the acreage this
year will exceed that of any previous
year.

on his acts, which you made yours, re
mains in the history of free peoples
the weightiest of lessons. Doubtless
you were resolved to avenge the in
suit offered your flag, which the whole
world respected; doubtless through
the thickness Of these massive walls
the mournful cry of all the victims that
criminal hands hurled into the depths
Of the sea has reached and stirred
your souls, but it will be your honor in
history that you also heard the cry of
humanity and invoked against auto
cracy the rights of democracies. And
can only wonder as l speak what, if
they still have any power to think,
are the thoughts of the autocrats who
three years ago against US, three
months ago against you, unclaimed
this conflict.
"Ah! doubtless they said among
themselves that a democracy is an
ideal government, that it showers re-
forms and mankind, that it can in the
domain Of labor quicken all economic
activities. And yet now we see the
French republic fighting in defense of
its territory and the liberty Of nations
and opposing to the avalanche let
loose by Prussian militarism the union
of all its children who are still capable
Of striking many weighty blow. And
now we see England, far removed like
you from conscripuon. who has also,
by virtue of a discipline all accept,
raised from her soil millions Of fight
ing men. And we see other nations
accom- plishing the same act; and that
liberty not only inflames all hearts
but coordinates and brings into being
all needed efforts.
And now we see all America rise
and sharpen her weapons in the. midst
Of peace for the common struggle. To-
gether we will carry on that struggle,
and when by force we have at last
imposed military victory our laborS
will not be concluded. Our task will
be, quote the nooie words of Presi-
dent Wilson, to organize the society
of nations. | wen know that our enc
mics, who have never seen before
them anything but horizons of carnage,
will never cease to jeer at so noble
design. Such has always been the fate
of great ideas at their birth; and if
thinkers and men Of action had allow
ed themselves to be discouraged by
skeptics mankind would still be in its
infancy, and We should still be slaves.
After material victory we will win this
moral victory. We will shatter the
ponderous sword of militarism; we
will establish guarantees for peace;
and then we can disappear from the
worlds stage, since we shall leave at
the cost of our common immolation the
noblest heritage future generations

I Still, don't care much for many
faces which are called handsome or
pretty. Faces on magazine covers, or
the faces of most actresses. Nor the
small-featured, symmetrtcally formed
faces of the Latin type, in men or wo-
men.
Beauty of the face isn't in color,
feature or symmetry altogether; it
lies more in combination with mo-
bility-the expression of intelligence
and soul
No matter how pretty" a face may
be, If it isn't owned ~ the necessary
amount of intelligence, it's weak.
see a young lady who rides down
Lunalilo street once in a while. Every
feature is physically perfect. The eyes
are large and brown. The color of
her cheeks rare, but the girl is SO
affectedly conscious of her physical
attributes that her face is positively
distasteful. There is no lure in it.
see one or two pretty men here
now and then Their clothes match.
Their manners am afraid indicate
vanity as great as that of the afore-
mentioned girl But their faces do
not attract one. And If you take the
trouble to look into the matter, you
will probably find in most cases, at
least, that God gave them their pref
ty faces (the mem at the expense Of
something they could have used to
better advantage.
AS for the prettiness Or beauty of
women and children, it is always in
order. They are the flowers Of hu.
manity. Their color, form, the frag-
rance Of their lives, are never incon-
gruous.

SAUNDERS Announcement HINTS AT GREAT Achievement

warranted in announcing that the
solution Of the problem might be ex-
pected. He thought the announce
melt would have a good effect upon
the country, and so justified 1t.
How Plan Has Worked Out
Outlining how the antisubmarine
plan was worked out, Mr. Saunders
said:
For the last three months the Naval
Consulting Board has been receiving
suggestions and descriptions Of in
ventons at the rate of thirty-five a
day We have gone over all Of them
carefully, and have found most Of
them impracticable. But a number
seemed feasible or contained ele-
ments which the members Of the
board thought might be developed
successfully. We, therefore, divided
the board. which has twenty-three
members, into fifteen subcommittee,
which took charge Of testing the pro-
posals and working up others. None
of us cares a rap about theory. We
won't give a cent how good a thing
looks on paper. We want to try it
out in actual experience before say
ing whether 1t has any value or not
With that idea the subcommittee
have been working for months. We
have several experimental stations on
the Atlantic coast and every inven
ton and apparatus which the board
has recommended has been tested
and proved under conditions Of real
experience. That is why we believe
our recommendations will be success
full If put into operation.
Two Ends in View
The board nas concentrated its at
tention upon two things: The destruc-
ton Of submarines and the destruc-
ton of land establishments, and our
plans aim at these ends. They repre-
sent not the work Of any one man,
but the thought and genius and work
Of hundreds of men.
We were Inspired to our task by
in the ability Of America
to produce new weapons in the war
This country has already produced
the three principal inventions which
have been employed extensively in
this war-airplales, submarines and
nowitzers. Some may question my
Inclusion Of howitzers among Ameri
can inventions, but the automatic
recoil by which the howitzer is made
possible was invented here. Now
other nations have taken our inven-
lions and have used them better than
We, but the board believed that Am
orleans could produce still other in.
Ventions and that the country would
Use them exclusively in the present
crisis. 1 may say incidentally that
some Members OF the board hesitated !
10 try out one invention in particular
because they feared Germany would
earn of it If we took 1t out in the
open and use it against us before we
got it going against Germany. The
board decided, however, that we could
est it, and, if it proved good, beat the
Germans to the use Of it. The tnven-
ion did everything expected of it,
and we are going to use it before the |
Germans get a chance.
The Naval Consulting Board was
appointed by Secretary Daniels, and
among its membership, in addition
% Mr. Saunders and Mr.. Edison, are
he most prominent scientists, in.
7entors and engineers in the country. |
Mr.. Saunders is a mining engineer Of

Institute Of Mining Engineers.

has baffIed the inventors OF England

The story Of q wonderful success
was forecast as early as May 5, when
William L. Saunders. chairman Of the
Naval Consulting Board, announced
that the board had forwarded to the
government at Washington a plan for
aggressive operation against subma-
rines, which, in the opinion of the
members Of the beard. will put an end
to the submarine menace. He added
that a companion plan for the de-
struction OF German establishments
Of land, in which the board had conf
dence, also had been sent to Wash
ington.
1T looks as though the submarine
problem has been solved" Mr.. Saun-
ders said, not only in theory, but on
the strength OF practical tests on the
Atlantic coast"
Mr. Saunders said he could not go
into full details about plans, as TO do
30 would reveal Information valuable
TO the enemy; but he gave a general
outline of what the board contem-
plated
The most important immediate step
proposed, Mr.. Saunders said, is the
closing Of the north end Of the North
Sea 30 that submarines cannot get
into the Atlantic ocean; and this
could be done, he insisted, by the en-
ployment of several new inventions
IN combustion with the naval forces
OF the United States. What these in
yentions are Mr.. Saunders would not
reveal, but he admitted that they in.
VOWED an extensive use Of electricity
and had been perfected largely
through the genius and work OF
Thomas A. Edison, who has been de-
voting all Of his time at his laboratory
on Orange Mountain and at a sea
coast experimental station to their
development.
English Channel Closed go
The Allies, Mr.. Saunders said, have
successfully closed the English Chan
mel 70 submarines by the use OF high
watch towers on the shores Of France
and England, from which suspicious
disturbances on the surface OF the
water can be detected, and by the
employment in connection with these.
OF nets, destroyers, airplanes, mines
and other implements. The compare
tive narrowness and shallowness o.
the channel have made 1t possible for
these forces to be successful.
Similar operations OF the northern
exit Of the North Sea have been made
Impossible By the wide, deep and
stormy waters between Scotland and
Norway, Mr.. Saunders said, but he
added that these obstacles could be
overcome by the naval forces OF the
United States In conjunction with the
recently invented apparatus tested by
the consulting board.
Mr.. Saunders would not say much
about the plan to destroy land estab-
lishments of the enemy, except that
the board had devised methods and
means of attack which 1t, thought
would be effective, What particular
