Taking The U-BOat's.

The rs per cent decrease in the
averaae monthly loss of Allied and
neutral tonnage through submarine
sinklngs, disclosed by the April fig
ures, tells an Indirect story of the
operations of the British and Amer
lean destroyer squadrons that we
wish we might have had directly.
We know that in April the British
and American patrols sank twelve
U-bOats, That record and the de-
creased tonnage loss is all we have
to supply the picture of this des-
perate naval warfare being waged
in the mists of the North Atlantic.
But if it isn't satisfactory as a
picture it is reassuring as to the ul-
innate outcome of the contest to
which Germany challenged the
civilized world. 1t shows that the
U-bOat weapon has failed Germany
for if after fourt en- months If un-
restricted operations -striG,lg in-
discriminatory at everything that
f1oats-it has neither closed the At
lantic TO Americas troop trans
ports nor starved England. and is
now sinking fewer vessels than in
the opening months of its Use, it
has been as futile as other t,rms of
Germans frightfuiness. Is menace
is not removed but the Allied de.
stroyer navies nave taken It's meas
ure The U-boat can be held in
check and even gained uooa, aud
the knowledge of that fact cancels
it as an enemy advantage.
When we think of what this
change in the balance means let us
think of the British and American
destroyer crews on their perilous
stations out there, for thew are the
men who changed it, They haven't
worked in the spotlight. Literally
they worked in no light at all. for
their most successful hlntine sea-
son is often in the darkness of night
All winter through the cold and the
gales they patrOlled their beats.
keeping the sea lanes open for
Britains food ships ana the ships
laden with Americas mos, precious
cargoes upon whose safe crossing
depended the fortunes of nations.
Their work has been successfully
done, without acclaim aud almost
without public knowledge of its
progress, When, as n0w. we get
brief glimpse of what they are doing
let's take off our hats t. them Brit
ISL and American they are ruling
the wave.

Our American boys at the front
wake up in the night when the
cannonadine stops. What shall we
do when they come home to insure
them sound sleep? Naturally they
cannot all live next door to boiler
factories

Plain But True.

Most married men can truthfully
say that they never struck their
wives But it wasn't because they
didn't want to lots of times.
Somehow or other a man never
wastes much time trying to con
vince a homely girl what a wonder
full thing Platonic love is.
A woman can have absolute
faith in prayer. But that doesn't
prevent her from looking under the
bed before she crawls in the hay.
The old-fashioned boy who used
to whistle when he passed grave
yard after dark now has a son who
is too scared to whistle.
When a honeymoon bride is
stopping at hotel you can't make
her believe that the place isn't
filled with detectives and dicta-
graphs.
Love is something that makes a
girl have faith in a man even when
she sees that the engagement ring
he gave her is leaving a green mark
on her finger.
Girls may not know so much,
but you may have noticed that
after a girl celebrates her twentieth
birthday she has sense enough to
quit celebrating her birthdays.
Woman's place is in the home
If married men could only get their
wives to believe this they would
feel safer when they are smiling at
other women down town.

Nothing adds more to the attrac-
ton of a town, or makes a better
impression on visiting strangers,
than newly painted residences, neat
fences. good sidewalks, clean streets
and alleys, and withal a goodly
number of shade trees aud orna-
mental shrubbery and flowers in
your yards 1t is indicative of re.
finement. culture, good taste and
thrift.
The State Highway Department
is opening its annual spring drive
on advertising signs nailed to trees
along the public highways Road
overseers are directed by law to re
move all such signs, and the county
highway engineer is further directed
to see that this law is complied with.

The fashion in ornaments varies
Just now a Third Liberty Loan
button, a War Savings button and a
Red Cross emblem make a most
desirable combination, and one that
is much worn.

Col Taft and Col, Roosevelt are
again friends. We do not suppose
the country at large cares whether
they are friends or not, as from a
political standpoint, they're both
dead ones

Laclede, up in Linn County, is
admittedly the boyhood home of
Gen. Pershing, but Meadville, seven
miles to the westward, contests
Laclede's claim as the birthplace of
the famous fighter Meadville con-
tends that John was born on a
farm much nearer Meadville than
Laclede. A citizen of the former
place, in The Meadville Messenger,
puts it up to Laclede this way: If
you don't know say so. 60 on away
from his birthplace and let it
alone"
