SHOCKING THE COUNTRY.


 Will the German submarines sink ships twice fast as the world can build new ones? Golfers Weekly says it will It's leading article in recent issue written by Mark Sullivan the editor in fe ersh excited tone is in tended to give the people violent shock in order to wake them up. He summarizes the shortage of ships today and pictures crSis-aS inevitable the Fourth of July which will be upon us within few months. If the writer of this article says Mr. Sullivan "new how to give his countymen this shock now paper instead of waiting for its actuality he would attempt it. He adds Now if u March this lack of ships is inconvenience in June it IS going to be calamity And there are not words in the dictionary to express how serious it is going to be-"
 Distorting the figures furnished by the British ad miralty in order to make out . startling case and assum ing that the German submarine, after years exper ence is just getting into it's stride and will increase its destructive work Editor Sullivan reaches the definite conclusion that we shall not have enough ships to trans port our armies nor carry food and munitions to our men in France.
 The article will have depressing effect not on ac count of the value of the writer's OpniOn but because Col erS very widely read and too many people will uncon scous accept opinion for fact Exaggerated statements always attract more attention and create more comment than cold truth Because the article occupies the fore most place in the publication its importance is likely to be OvereStmaed and it is certain to create uneas ness It is entirely useless because it suggests no reme dy; it merely megaphones to the country the message Wake Up"
 Perhaps the article is 50 per cent true. fso the need 10 speed up shpbuldng is obvious than it has been any time the past six months In every quarter the cry has been for ships and ships, and still more ships Men in authority have quareled the mater al which should go into ships and the type of wooden ships that should be built Even at this critical time, men in authority trying to force the issue that we would better have ships at all than to build wooden ships whose life is not as long as steel ships
 If the situation is half bad as Golfers would have the country believe it would be rendering very great service by using it's influence in favor of building wooden ships to the utmost limit of Americas capacity. If a wooden ship able to do better than to make only one trip across the Atlantic it would still do that much toward preventing the calamity which Golfers tries so vividy to picture The strongest point in favor of the wooden ship is that be built in half the time it takes to build steel ship

about the wonderful 17-year-old
Buda Pest girl, who, in voice and
in stage craft, won premier place
in America in a few weeks. We
read of how an Austrian nobleman
had besieged her with his suit.
We remember how Mitzi -
youthful exuberance portrayed in
every deft move of pretty head,
body, hands, feet-we remember
how she shook her head and said
there was nothing doing on the
marriage talk. She laughed then,
and you no doubt smiled when you
read, and skeptically figured that
she'd fall for that title Just the
same.
Well, she didn't.
Mitzi won't talk about the war
much. But she will proudly tell
you that she's q full-fledged "Yan-
kee Doodle" girl, an American,
first, last and all the time. She
took out her citizenship papers
long ago-before the war.

are not healthy for that sort OF
disposition. But the war is sd
gigantic in its scope that II en-
braces even radiant, sparkling,
joy-loving Mitzi Hajos.
1t couldn't be otherwise. If
there is any place in Austro-Hun-
gary, where there is a decided
anti-kaiser spirit, it is in Buda
Pest, Mitzi's birthplace. Read to-
day what Victor Morgan, the man
who stood on the Swiss border to,
study German conditions for this
and other papers, says about that.
And so, when Mitzi tasted Amer
lean air, what more natural than
that she should fall in love with
our democratic Liberty instead OF
with an autocratic baron?
Thus, for many months now,
has Mitzi, between acts OF riOtOu3
stage fun, sat in her dressing room
knitting, knitting, knitting, for the
soldier boys in France.
Mitz' Haios Is doing her bit.
