INTO U-BOAT NEST
Lurk Along Sea Lanes in FIocks, De-
clare Survivors.

London, May 3.-American citizens
landed the past few days from vessels
sunk by German submarines tell re-
markable tales of the strenuous eX-
ploits of the U-boats. In one case
three under-sea boats appeared sim
ultaneously alongside the ship, one
being a submarine cruiser, 800 feet
long, and the other old fashioned sub
marines with length of about 100
feet
In another case a German sub
marine wore an elaborate disguise of
a fishing boat. In at least two cases
the crews of vessels sunk by sub
marines were rescued from open boats
by a passing ship only to suffer a
repetition of the disaster when the
ship on which they had taken refuge
fell prey to an underwater boat.
Renew Stores From Victims
The captain of an American sailing
ship which was sunk ten days ago,
said:
submarines are lying along the sea
lanes in regular nests. They keep well
under the water most of the time, com
ing up now and then for observations
or on hearing the approach of mer-
chant craft, which often can be iden-
titled readily by the sound of the en-
gines- By thus conserving fuel the
submarines are able to remain away
from their base a long time and also
they find means of renewing their
stores from ships which thew sink

Women and girls may not shoulder
a gun beside the men of this land. But
President Wilson has found a way by
which they. too, may prove themselves
good citizens. In his proclamation of
April l 5, he stated: Every housewife
who practices strict economy puts her
self in the ranks of those who serve
the nation" The many girls and wo-
men in this country who eagerly wish
thus to show themselves loyal Amer
leans can find no better training for
it than a careful study of Mabel Hyde
Kittredge's 1.-The Home and Its Man
agement." Miss Kittredge is well fit
ted to write this book, for in it she has
embodied much of her practical ex-
perience as president of the Associa-
ton of Practical Housekeeping Cen
ters in New York City. This associa-
ton gives to the girls in the New York
City schools an opportunity actually to
put into practice the economic the
cries advocated by Miss Kittredge in
her new book. She takes up the sub
ject of the home-its kitchen. dining
and bedrooms. its laundry work and
marketing, as well as the most ap-
proved methods of cooking and pre-
serving.

MORE FREIGHT TRAINS
Railroads to Throw 1000 Passenger
Locomotives to Freight Service.

Washington, May 3.-Curtailment of
passenger train service and shipment
of the country's entire output of roll
ing stock and rails to the allies were
forecast today by Daniel Willard in
a speech before the national defense
conference of governors and repre-
sentatives of state defense councils.
Already Mr.. Willard said the feder-
al councils general railroad board is
working on a plan for readiusting
schedules. Other nations at war, he
said, have discontinued passenger
schedules entirely but the American
government hopes to bring the rail-
roads to their highest point of eff
cheney by eliminating duplication and
reducing the number of passenger
trains as far as possible without in
conveniencing the public
OF the $4,000 passenger train loco
motives in the United States the rail-
road board hopes to release 5000 for
freight trains.
1T is vital that France and Russia
have locomotives and cars said Mr.
Willard. I'VE will have to furnish
them. How can we do it? We can do
it by getting along with what equip
ment we have and by putting into
force measures of greater railway
economy

Probably we shall hear no more of
an impending war with Japan for
time. The Japanese-American News
has published a cable message reading
as follows: Americas declaration of
war to chastise German arrogance has
been deemed by the Japanese people
as an automatic establishment of a
Japanese-American alliance. Ameri-
cans are welcomed wherever they go
and are greeted with cheers. The
American flag is displayed everywhere.
The war message of President Wilson
and the war debates in congress were
infinitely reported and printed in all
the leading papers of the empire and
were read with great enthusiasm"

If the banking interests of the coun-
try were backing the selective draft
proposition, as has been intimated py
CONGRESSMAN Anthony, they were In
good company. They had on their
side the president of the United States
his cabinet. the highest military au-
thorities, nearly a unanimous mouse
and senate, almost all the leading
newspapers and apparently a big ma
jority of the people. There may have
been a time when, if the banks ia
vored thing, it was considered 1nlml-
cal to the best interests of the coun-
try. but that time has passed me
public and the press have come to look
upon the bankers as among the most
patriotic citizens and not without rea-
son. Any injury to the country affects
It's financial interests. and any mistake
or fancied mistake in governmental
policy is quickly felt by the banks.
IF they have been wrong on the army
hi they will at least be compelled to
pay literally for their error in the
way of taxes.

THE WORK OF THE PRESS.

The daily press may, without inn
modesty, feel that its work for the
selective draft proved a powerful if
not determining factor in the fight.
Newspaper writers, compelled, in
the discharge of their daily duties, to
read the story of the war in Europe
and to absorb it's differences and i'm
plications, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, were prepared more ade-
quately than many members of con-
gress to judge the relative merits of
the selective draft and volunteer sys-
TENS with reference to the present
needs of the United States. That por-
ton of the American press which is
progressive-thela larger portion-came
early to the support of the presi-
dent in his fight for the selective
draft and labored late and early for
the presidents success. There can be
no doubt that many members of con-
gress We're affected. consciously or
nsensibly, by the avalanche of print
ed argument in behalf of the admin
istration's plan of army making.
The press is perfectly willing to as
any iIicdSuI6 VI responsibility
which may in the future attach to it
because of the success or the selective
draft bill. There can be no doubt
that much needless bloodshed, in this
or any future war in which America
may be involved, will be avoided as a
result of the historic swing of the
American people from a sentimental
9dUOP9HU of the UnluntpaT- fn
a practical preference for the selec-
tive draft which recent European his
tory has proved, beyond cavil, the
only effective means of making war
against militaristic countries
Had Great Britain had a selective
draft law in operation in, and prior
to, 1914. this war might have occur
red, but it would, in all probability,
have been of shorter duration than it
has been. 1t would have cost much
less in blood and money and in the
devastation of an enormous theater of
war.
Germany counted upon softness in
Great Britain and upon the efficiency
of an enormous trained force in Ger
many. More recently the imperial
government relied, firstly, upon the
mistaken belief that Americans would
not fight. and, secondly. upon the con-
viction that Americans could not fight
if they would. The victory of the war
resolution proved conclusively that
Americans will fight. The vote in the
congress proved the fallacy of the Ger
man opinion that America does not
know how to form an army and safely
may be considered negligible from a
military point of view
That the American press was a
powerful factor in stimulating sup
port of the administration is a mat
ter upon which the press will con-
graduate itself 100 years from this
time.
