THE SCORE AT SEA

The subsea assassins of the enemy appear to be getting busy again along the Atlantic coast. In some manner oI other they managed to bag a war ship and several smaller boats Of rather inconsequental size. And along the Irish coast, after d long pc riod Of comparative inactton, they finally managed to sink one of our biggest troopships. The enemy nat exploits, but he has little to crow about. The San Diego will scarcely be missed among the mighty navies that stand guard on the seas and the JustiCia was homeward-bound, with none save her crew aboard when she was struck. A ship is ship, of course, and one Of the most precious things in the world these days, but We must expect to lose one now and then, and we can take the loss of this transport with d grim smile and spe- cial prayer of thankfulness that her prow was pointed westward when the torpedo struck her.
 And by some strange coincidence, on the very day that the news came of the sinking of the Justicia, Herbert Hoover addressed notable gathering  .oi Londoners and assured them that the food crisis had passed He de Clared that We now have plenty of foOdstuffs and enough boats to feed our friends across the water in sub atantial fashion This splendid as- suranCc in the name of America must have chccrcd the hearts of our allies as nothing else can. save decisive defeat on the battle front All this, then, together with the fact that we have transported a million and quar- ter men across the water without any serious mishap. must be taken into ac' count when the score at sea is posted. There is no cause for alarm in this direction.

Then when n was learned that he had selected d cemetery site and caused to b" erected thereon q massive monument bearing his name. 1t was generally as sumcd by friends and foes alike that he was speedily preparing to give up the ghost However, the chances are that the only thing Uncle Joe had in mind was that he didn't want any fool friends or members of his family quarreling over where to locate or how to mark his last resting place. It was characteristic of him that he Snpulu ueSlfe to attend to lHe Hlolt or less important matter himself.
 And then one day in the house. not so long ago. in deprecating the sad straits to which the peoples govern ment has fallen these days, he con tented himself with the observation that "when the boys come home at the close of the war. at time when shall be wearing an asbestos halo, I suppose. they will take possession and direction, and wOrthly so, of the affairs of government, because they will have the rare experience and rare patriotism that will come from their service" Which seemed to say to many that Uncle Joe did not COntem- plate outliving the war, but almost everybody was inclined to take more optimistic view of the outlook for the old war horse from Danvile No less parsonage than Colonel Harvey scoffed at the idea, suggesting that Uncle Joe will not have to get meas ured for a halo for years after the war ends, no matter how long it lasts.

He won't need that kind IL will be the sort that goes with a harp which will be served out to Uncle Joe. Besides. the Huns will nave a corner on all the asbestos long before Uncle Joe gets around Which, by the way. is very pretty compliment considering that the colo ncl and the cXspeaker have been on opposite sides of the political fence all their lives.

UNCLE JoE's CANDIDACY

Notwithstanding his four score years and three. 1t is not at all sur prising that Uncle Joe Cannon should desire to be returned to congress. Representing the Eighth Illinois dis trict has become habit with him he is now serving his twenty first term-and we look to see his fellow citizens return him to Washington with a rousing majority. There will be those of his constituents. we fancy. who will support him out of a senti- mental desire to humor the old mans whims, and honor him besides, but the majority will be moved to vote for him because he has long since demonstrated his peculiar adaptability for the office.
 While we do not agree with some that politics is or ought to be ad- iourned this year, it does seem that his constituents could do no better
 by themselves or the nation than to re-elect Uncle Joe without opposition
 this fall For almost half century
 now he has been a credit to himself
 and his community and a glory to the
 Republic. Down at Washington he
 is regarded as pretty much of a na-
 tional institution. He Is one of the few remaining links that connect the
 stirring days of the present with those
 of the glorious past True. the years
 have begun to make noticeable in roads on his once powerful physique,
 but he Is still free from most of the
 infrmities that prey upon men many
 years his junior. and in many respects
 he is still as fit as a fiddle. In all most every essential particular that goes to make a capable congressman
 he towers above his colleagues like

Laurel had the greatest race Of 1917,
the match between Hourless and Omar

er 1t attracted the biggest attendance
at any track In Maryland during the
year. Col. VIM is alive to the fact
that a race between Billy Kelly. Eter-
nal and Dunboyne would be another
magnet Of attraction.
These three colts during the past
month have shown clearly that they
dominate the youngsters OF their age.
Billy Kelly beat Eternal and Dun
boyne at Saratoga. but under condi-
lions that left room for doubt whether
he is really the best. Big fields Of
horses in each race when he won pre-
vented Eternal and Dunboyne from

driftwood of bad material would be
eliminated, and each colt would have

GERMANS MINIMIZING
AMERICAN SUCCESS
Declare Number Of Prisoners Lost
to Pershing's Men Is
Inconsiderable.

By the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, September 1.-THE
German newspapers are attempting to
minimize the advance of the Ameti-
cans at st. Mihiel. but the Berlin cor
respondent of the Cologne Volks
Zeitung admits that sit is true the
American attack was marked by GER
tain losses in prisoners and some
guns on cur part" The CORRESPONDENT
adds significantly:
Even If an attack on our position
at the Chemin- des-Dames should sue
coed, or If the supreme army COM
mand should give up this. area for
other reasons. this would no longer
have any Significance for the strateg-
ical position even II 1t were the
matter of an area which has been so
hotly fought over as the Chemin-des-
Danes"
The Frankfort Zeitung remarks:
cit is a pity that the way things
happened gives our enemies, espe-
cially the Americans. the chance of
representing the evacuation of the st.
Mihiel salient as considerable
tactical success-as new link in the
chain-and all the more so, because,

The Cologne Gazette after saying
that careful preparations had been
made looking to the possibility of
evacuation, and new positions to close

constructed a long time ago. adds.
