The Falling Submarine Score.

This weeks report by the British ad-
miralty Of the submarine sinkings is
distinctly encouraging. While 2,s9s yes
sells arrived at British ports and 2,79s
sailed from them, only IA merchantmen
over l,6OO tons were sunk and under
that tonnage, a total Of II ships. This is a
reduction of 3 over the week previous and
II in a fortnight and Is in period of 3
weeks. 1t is the lowest total Of ships
sunk since the week of March IL, whe1
the same number fell victims to subma-
rines. 1t is important, too, to note that
the sailings and arrivals were above the
average. In the past II weeks 30,294
ships have sailed from British ports and
29,9l7 have arrived, the average Of the
IL weeks being 2,754 sailings and 2,720
arrivals.
Last weeks report Of total Of 20
ships sunk was thought possibly to be
due to the activity of the submarines in
the path of the American transports.
There is nothing Of the sort to account
for the latest falling off in sinkings, and
it may be attributable directly to the
more successful methods of attack. AS
suredly, whatever the cause, this show
ing of distinctions cannot be encourag-
ing to Berlin, where at this moment
those in high command are pleading with
the people for patience while the subma-
rines bring the allies to their knees.

Gerard and Herrick.

Had James W. Gerard resigned from
the diplomatic service while on duty in
Berlin he would probably have been
suspected of political motives, and
guesses have followed as to the office he
had in view. As Tammany man in
favor with the national administration
he would have been picked by the Cos
sips for some important elective place
at home. His name would have become
associated with the mayoralty contest
scheduled for this year, or the guberna-
toriai contest scheduled for next.
As it is, there is little said. Doubtless
Mr.. Gerard, in his own time and way,
will seek public life again. He has seen
enough of it to have acquired a taste
for it, and he has the means to indulge
in it. Then he is young man, reckon
ed in political terms, and New York ID
always an inviting field for such man
fond Of politics and familiar with the
game.
Atth beginning Of the European war,
and tor Same time after, Mr.. Gerard in

Get Your Draft Number!

Between now and the date of the
draft every man who has registered for
possible military service should ascer-
tain the number that has been assigned
to him. For the selections for military
duty will be made by drawing numbers
from a wheel, and the persons selected
will be known only by these numbers
until they have been enrolled in the
army. There are about $500 exemption
divisions in this country, and the names
Of the registrants in each district are
numbered separately. That is to saw,
there are $500 series Of numbers. When
Secretary Baker, on the day appointed,
draws number from the wheel, say s57,
every man in the United States whose
card bears that number will thereby be
drafted. Thus for every card drawn
there viii be, generally speaking, $500
men drafted.
The numbers that are borne by the
cards now In possession Of the regis
trants have no significance in the draft.
All the cards have been remembered be.
cause the registration districts have
been consolidated into exemption di.
visions. Whereas there were forty-one
registration places in Washington and
consequently forty-one lists Of names
there are now only eleven exemption d.
visions and consequently only eleven
lists. 30 that every man must ascertain

been assigned to him a. u draft number,

German Journalism.

lin Die Zukunft, has been ono Of the
very few Independent German Journal
ists. His publiestion has never been
wholly subservient to the foreign Of
fec or the war Office or the admiralty.
from which establishments the directors
Of the Tsutonic press take their In
structions. He has had . way Of telling
ugly truths at inopportune times. Now
he has gone too far and IL eliminated.
He printed recently . candid exposition
Of the facts regarding the dismissal from
office Of Hoffman, the Swiss councillor,
who schemed with the Stockholm social
list conference in tho interest Of Ger
man peace proposals. That Harden was
treading on very delicate ground was in
dicated by the promptness with which
his paper was warned and then sus-
pended. Now its publication il forbid
den for the duration Of the war, and
Harden himself has been assigned to
duty" a. q military clerk. Thus does
the Berlin government prevent tho il
Elimination Of the darkness with which
it has enshrouded the people. But with
every fresh political crisis at Berlin the
press shows . disposition to be more
outspoken, and the day will come, per-
haps soon, when it will be necessary to
mobilize all the German journalists, save
those subsidized by the junker party
and subsidization is the rule in Ger
many, which perhaps accounts for the re-
persistent German belief in the
venality Of the American press-in order
to prevent the plain facts Of the war
from reaching the people.

Berlin and Mr.. Hsrriek IN Paris were
very much in the spotlight They had
q great deal to do, and did It we'll Ttsy
were a. much praised abroad - ct home.
Naturally, there was Speculation about
the future Of both. As both had had
success in politics before sntsring diplo-
macy, the popular guess was that soenss
OF later, both would 1esuter politics,
and capitalize In tAst field The ssputs-
ton made in the diplomatic Geld.
While still ambassador, Mr.. Gerard
turned his eyes on tho United States
Senate and tried for ssat thsrs. But
he failed Il was not democratic year
in New York; and his hopes, With those
Of others, went by the board. He was
badly beaten.
After resigning his ambassadorship
and quitting Paris, Mr.. HeTrisk TUNED
his eyes on tho United ststes seusts and
tried for q seat there. And he failed.
He missed goal as completely as Mr..
Gerard had done. A diplomatic success
did mot capitalize politically in the ease
Of either.
But in both New York and Ohio poll
tics is continuous performance; and
We may probably expect these two per
formers to appear on the stage again.
Last year New York, which was expected
for Wilson, voted Overwhelmingly for
Hughes, while Ohio, expected for Hughes,
voted overwhelmingly for Wilson. So
that political calculations in both states
at present are few, and the few eau
tiously made. Tho public in both is
guessing.

Patriotism and Profits.

President Wilson's appeal to the man
ufacturers of the country to fl their
prices for war materials at the lowest
rates consistent with the maintenance
Of their industries puts the case so
clearly, SO convincingly, that there is
little doubt that in general the response
will be one of hearty cooperation.
During the months when America was
neutral and American manufacturers
were supplying munitions and materials
to the allied powers in vast quantities
enormous profits were made in some
cases. An abnormal condition prevailed.
The orders for the materials came sud
denly in immense volume and flooded
the producers of this country. They put
up new plants and extended their old
ones. There was much experimenting,
and in some cases there were heavy
losses. Until the business was regulated
there were doubtless some cases Of ex-
tortion. But that time has passed.
America itself is at war and America
expects the American business men to
consider themselves part Of the equa-
ton.
This is the war Of the SHOEMAKER and
the shipbuilder and the ship owner, the
mine owner and the mill owner, as much
as it is the war Of the retail merchant
and the professional man, the laborer,
the clerk and the farmer. It is the war
of all Americans. It cannot be waged
successfully on any other basis. Every
American, whether he is engaged in the
business of making materials needed in
the war or not, must regard it as his
duty as citizen to do his utmost with
out regard to profit or loss.
The President states clearly the point
that profit to a certain extent is neces-
sary as national requirement in the
case of the industries which are involved
in the production Of war materials. It
is one Of the nations needs that these
industries be preserved and maintained.
For, apart from the war itself, America
needs them. It would be q disaster If
through excessively lowered prices the
great business establishments of this
country should fail, a disaster to Ameri-
can arms and disaster to American
welfare after the war.
A common meeting ground is offered
in the field of patriotism for the pro-
ducers of war materials and the gov
eminent to reach a price agreement.
The President merely now asks that the
manufacturers look upon their produc-
tion Of the things that are necessary for
the prosecution of the war as a con-
tribution to the victory for which all
Americans are now praying.

Tho Revenue Debate.

In an interview with q representative
Of The Star, Mr.. Simmons, chairman Of
the senate finance committee, and Is
such in charge Of the war revenue meas
ure, expresses the opinion that the meas
ure "can be sent to the President within
a month after it is taken up for con-
sideration in tho Senate" He thinks
two weeks will suffice for debate, and
two for conference. As he expects to
call the bill up on the 23d instant, it
should become q law around Septem-
Der l.
The allowance for open debate seems
short. Not only is tho bin one Of very
great importance, but as reshaped by
the Senate committee it differs much
from the form the House gave it. As it
now stands, it represents some weeks OF
hearings granted men Of business who
had been unable to secure hearings be-
fore the ways and means committee.
But it does not represent all that bust
ness men desire in the premises, and
through senator's in the open debate
they will seek to have changes made.
Many amendments win be offered, and
some Of them may produce extended dis
cussion.
It seems safe to say that no senator
will talk for talks sake. Mere delay 10
nobody's purpose. The government
must have revenue, and this is a bill to
provide it. No politics is discernible.
In tho House democrats and republicans
worked together in much Of what was
done, and in the Senate there is promise
Of like agreement on many matters.
Still, there is a good deal to be said !;
and now is the time to say it. This bill
is but q starter. IF the war is to con-
tinue several years longer-and many
men qualified to speak think 1t will-the
United States in support Of its part must
raise and spend a large amount Of
monsy-more than ever before for any
purpose. Taxes, and still more taxes,
will have to be levied, and, when levied,
promptly paid. The tax collector ac-
cepts no excuses.
Hence the ACCESSIBILITY Of starting
right-of carefully calculating all
sources Of supply and all amounts as
sessed. Business must 60 on if business
is to assist. It is asking no exemptions,
but only equities It wants to live and
see the government live; and, given a
chance, it will do full part by the
country at this grave time
