The most useful Of all constructions
for sea scouting Is the dirigible bal
loon. For this one purpose the Zeppe'
lin has not proved failure. Italy Is
fairly well equipped with semirtgid
balloons similar to the French type
and almost every day one. or more OF
them may be, seen gliding over the
sea. What they accomplish I do not
know.
Captive balloons are sometimes hoist
ed over the shore for observation pur-
poses.
Such are the principal weapons used
by Italy against submarines. How the
struggle Is progressing. whether anne
Iteration of means Is counterbalanced
by improvement in submarine con-
struction. only the future, In all like
lihood the immediate future, will tell.
Today both sides are losing heavily.
Sometimes the submarine is its own
undoing. Despite its terrible offensive
powers the submarine has remained.
in the words Of Luther Bradley. "a deli
cate little thing" More than once dur
ing this war submarine emerging
beside ship Mt night and launching a
torpedo. has been sunk by upheaval In
the water caused by the explosion.
The submarine dare not approach too
near its victim. and. for this reason.
many steamers escape. Sometimes in
the dark commanders of submarines
become confused and overestimate dis
tance. This statement seems the more
credible II we reflect that In torpedo
practice the United States navy has
found that a single explosion often
kills the fish for 400 or 500 yards on
all sides. To be sunk by ones own
torpedo seems a sad fate, but not un-
fitting those who preach ruthless war
fare.
Credit Is due the allies on one
score: Whereas the submarine was
known and developed before the war,
the nntisuhUarine craft, nets, bombs
and the like, nll had to be brought into
being. In this work. as In every other
branch of the war 1t has been my
privilege to investigate. Italy Is play
ing Its part well.

Is. Campbell both OF which appeared
IN THE JOURNAL Thursday. June
~, relative to a policy OF reconcilia-
ton for all the forces and agencies
lnat tend toward the Socialist ideal,
which Mr.. Campbell endorses and ad-
Nocates, desire 20 say:
In all fairness 10 Mr.. Campbell and
sAe Socialist Party, Il would seem
necessary that you Mr. Editor should
explain through the columns of THE
JOURNAL that YOU have misinter-
preted the purport OF Mr.. Campbells
article.
BY way OF explanation I will add
that Mr. Campbell IN his article does
cot claim that the propaganda OF the
Socialist Party az the present time Is
pro-German nor does he endorse the
attitude aud detection OF Mr.. John
opargo, who recently resigned from
the Socialist Party because OF is al
legged pro-Germanism
Trusting you will give to this ex-
pianation the same prominence
granted the article in question. and
also TO the editorial that so grossly
misrepresented Mr.. Campbell's ideas.
am, Very truly yours,

clear In his article that while he IL
an earnest advocate OF the Socialist
movement he is not IN sympathy with

Being an American. he could not fail
10 share with Mr. Spargo his resent

experiences and impressions. Below
are a few extracts to show how he
feels about the great war:
