According to figures given by the Brit
ish embassy here, the German policy of
ruthless submarine warfare has failed
Of its object. It is noted that in the
first fourteen days Of February ATT
ships arrived at ports in the United
Kingdom, and 4,514 cleared, a daily
average Of 341 arrivals and 322 sailings
During the same period, according to
German embassy figures, German SUBJ
marines have sunk vessels to number
which constitute a proportion of less
than one ship to every hundred arriving
at or leaving British ports. If these sta
tistics are correct the submarine war
fare has thus far failed of its object,
which was to starve out England.
After the first few days, when ships
were caught unawares in the zone and
before provision had been made by the
British admiralty for the safeguarding
of commerce, sinkings were reported at
rate which seemed to indicate German
success. But recently there has been
steady falling off in the daily average
of destruction. As far as the first four
teen days indicate this reduction was
not due primarily to lessening of sea
traffic. The conclusion is that the sub
marines are becoming less effective
through either the superior patrolling
organized by the British admiralty or
the lessened efficiency of the subma-
rine feet due to losses. That subma-
rines have been sunk by the patrol feet
is understood. Just how many of the
several hundred undersea boats which
it is reported we're sent forth by Ger
many on the LIST Of February have been
destroyed cannot be known until the ad-
miralty yields the secrets which it has
been jealousy guarding.
If the German submarine campaign
does not cause a serious shortage of
supplies in England, it will have been
a monumental blunder, beyond repair.
Frankly at the outset it was stated in
Berlin that Germany was stalking her
fortunes on this move. The campaign
was acknowledged to be supreme eff
fort to break the power of the entente.
If that effort does not succeed Germany
not only loses in prestige abroad, but
incurs heavy debt Of accountability to
the people at home, who have been led
to expect victory through the adoption
Of policy Of ruthlessness, which alien
ates the sympathies of neutrais.

An Extra Session.

The scene in the Senate last night was,
In itself, an excellent reason why the
congressional card should be cut, and
some Of the measures on it passed up"
to an extra session Of the new Congress.
A night sitting had been ordered on a
very important measurable revenue
measure-providing for very grave
emergency. Hundreds of millions Of
dollars were involved. And yet at 8
o'clock, the hour appointed, only TWEEN
ty-one senators-less than fourth Of
the Senate membership-were present in
tho chamber. Very properly, the point
Of no quorum was made, and steps were
taken to I'LL the gap. A roundup was
ordered.
The broncho, the fringed leather
breeches and the lariat were absent, but
the swift auto and those to drive it were
substituted, and the hunt began. Some
senators were found at the theater, and
had to leave just when the text Of the
play was most interesting and the stage
pictne the most entrancing. Others

Food Riots.

Whenever word has filtered through
the European censorships Of food riots
in the cities Of the countries at war the
American people have felt that they
were more than fortunate in escaping
the distress of armed conflict These
riots, however, have seemed long way
off, wholly unrelated to domestic con-
ditions, spectacles viewed in far per-
spective. Now we are having food riots
of our own here in America, fierce fights
for sustenance. In New York the women
of one of the poorer sections Of the city
have declared war on the food vendors,
especially the pushcart men who are
their chief sources of supply, and the
police have had to interfere. Prices
have risen to such point that thou
sands of the people have been unable to
buy an adequate supply Of provisions,
and the outbreaks against the retailers
resulted.
Unfortunately the anger of crowd
in case like this is visited upon those
nearest within reach, the retailers, who
are the least to blame of all those who
participate in the price boosting process.
The pushcart man, who is at the ex-
IRENE end Of the line, has been the prin-
cipal victim Of the rioters in New York.
His stock in trade and his vehicle have
been wrecked and he has been physical
ly punished. The wholesaler and the
middleman, who are chiefly responsible
for the food rates, escape without in
jury. It is natural that the anger Of
crowd Of hungry people should be vented
upon the agent Of distribution who is
nearest ct hand A mob has no sense of
economics. 1t does not reason with ref
erence to the law Of supply and demand.
It knows nothing about the process of
distribution. It merely knows that it is
hungry and unable to buy food.
This question of high food prices has
been discussed in the United States
for many months, and nothing has been
done by governmental action to cor
rect conditions. In this city an investi-
cation is in progress under direction of
the Department Of Labor to ascertain
the relationship between family income
and food costs, but it has not progressed
sufficiently to yield results. The New
York riots may bring matters to head.
1t is certainly not reassuring to find the
people in the largest city in the United
States, at a time Of extraordinary pros
perity, engaged in lawlessness as a pro-
test against extortion in the matter of
the necessities Of life.
