TIE SUBMARINE MENACE.

We are not to suppose that because the German U-boats have not followed up their work on Monday with a sini- lar record on Tuesday that they have been driven away or that their dan ger Is past. It was to be expected that, through the methods which they had employed to keep their activities secret by carrying the crews of three vessels on board for a number of days and the failure to warn coastwise shipping of what appeared good req son to believe were evidences of sub marines in coastal waters a number of vessels would be caught unawares, but now that the alarm has been sounded and the destroyers and chasers have been let loose to hunt them the let up Is quite in accord with the situation.
 It would be unwise, however, to an ticipate that the submersibles will not continue to strike at shipping on this side of the ocean just as long as they are able to elQde capture or destruc- tion and obtain the necessary sup plies and ammunition. It calls for the strictest attention being given to them and the taking of all possible precau- tions to see that shipping and espec- ially the transports and passenger ships are given adequate convoy and protection.
 Because they operated off the New Jersey, Delaware and Virginia coast on their appearance does not mean that that is where they intend to re- main. They are likely to show up ir the steamship lanes or wherever 1t ap- pears they can do the most damage How serious and prolonged the actfv- ity will prove on this side of the water ought to be determined within a short time but full reliance must be placed upon the claim of the war department that the navy is fully prepared tc handle the danger until it is showr to the contrary. It now looks like ( yrandstand play in connection with the drives in Europe.

try for the vocational training of our wounded and disabled soldiers; but, owing to indecisicn and red tape, not thing has yet been done to put this great work of reconstruction into effect.
 But the way is prepared. The Red Cross Institute for the Crippled and Disabled is already conducting re- search experiments and formulating methods in conjunction with the Federal Board for Vocational Educa- ton. Both have agreed to cooperate with the Bureau of War Risk and the Medical Department of the Army.
 But Congress has appropriated no money for this important, this inn perative work. Hoke Smiths bill to expedite it is still unpassed.
 It is, then, for the President to act, and act quickly. Under the Over man bill he has the disposal of funds available for this use without delay.
 And meanwhile our wounded SOL diers are arriving every day! Mir. President, in the name of the mothers and sisters and wives of the men who have been mutilated while defending their country. we call upon you to act-to see that these "heroes" do not become mere stagnant, despair ing victims, but useful to the com munity and to themselves. You can make them,-give them hope and i happiness! You cad change them from ''cripples" to outstanding, edu- cvated, self-respecting men!

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society.

Montdidier The National Geo. graphic Society from it's Washing ton headquarters issues the following war geography bulletin on Mont didier, few miles east of Amiens:
 ''Montdidier feii into enemy hands during the great German offensive ot March and April, and now the Ameri cans, brigaded with the French, are aiding the latter in making the city untenable for the Huns.
 "This little town. whose history dates back to the first millennium of the Christian era, had a population of less than 5000 at the beginning of the war. but it was rich in historic associations. It is said to have de rived it's name from the fact that Didier or Desiderius, the last of the Lombard kings, was imprisoned here in TT4 by Charlemagne. It will be remembered that Charlemagne, having put aside his first wife, Desiderius' daughter, took up the quarrel Of Pope Adrian with the Lombard mon arch, and after marching an army across the Alps captured his first
 while father in laws capital city, Ticium, and took the vanquished ruler back to France where he died in captivity.
 Montdldier is 2ttracuvely situated on an eminence on the banks of the river Don. It is the capital of an arrondissement in the department of the Somme, and is 62 miles north of Paris by rail, and g miles southeast of Amiens. It's chief industries be- fore the var were tanneries and the manufacture of zinc white.
 When the tides of war finally re- cede it Is probable that the three buildings in which the citizens of
 Montdjdier took the greatest pride will be crumbling ruins. These are the Church of St. Pierre which was built before Columbus set sail on his ] voyage of discovery. and which con tains a tomb and font of the 11th century: the Church of St. Sepulcre 8 15th-11th century edifice, and the Palais de Justice formerly the city castle Tn the last named building visitors before the war were shown six unusually handsome Brussels 1 tapestries of the 17th century. These rere undoubtedly removed before the i Germans entered the city.

the war even though they have been supplanted in many respects by the gasolene driven machines.
 Millions of horses and mulesA have been brought into service in Europe during the past four years and in spite of the extensive use of motor cars the American army is going to depend to large extent upon them in the car rying out of their operations. It is therefore impossible to overlook the excellent service which is being rem dered by the American Red Star anil maj relief, the object of which is to save as large a portion of the animals used in the war as it is possible by treating them in hospitals and camps especially arranged for that service. Many of the animals which are wounded can be restored to useful ness by the proper attention and care and in view of the large numbers re- quired the service is certainly justi- fed. It is one of the ways of saving the war waste which deserves all the attention and assistance that 1t can get It must in fact be realized that such work is necessary if sufficient horses and mules are going to be had

TRUSTING GERMANY.

One of the most difficuH things to understand is the determination of this government to send the newly f1t- ted out hospital ship Comfort across the Atlantic without convoy and with out any provision for its safety ex- cept the provisions of the Geneva con- vention. Germany is to be notified that it is to be put into service for the transporting of sick and wounded sol- diers to this side of the ocean and re- liance is to be placed in German prom ises not to molest it.
 How this government can put any faith in German promises in view of the manner in which it has sunk al- lied hospital ships. the way in which it is treating prisoners and the per sistency with which it is bombing hospitals where American sick and wounded are quartered in France is beyond comprehension.
 Germany has resorted to all sorts of frightfuIness and it makes no diff ference whether it is a neutral or a beHigerent nation at which it strikes Promises amount to nothing when it comes to advancing the interests ot the kaiser. They are just as much scraps of paper now as when Belgium was invaded. It is like putting one's head in an untamed Hons mouth tc expect any consideration from such q government. Time and again has il been said that this government would not treat with the imperial German government as long as it is what il is because it could not be trusted tt respect any agreement In view 0. that it is a strange attitude which is taken when those who are responsible for it decide to trust Germany to the keeping of any promise. It ought te be well enough understood that Ger. many can be relied upon to find pre-. text for sinking any ship that sail: whether it is justified or not.

THEY FOUND A WAY TO HELP

you know, Nellie she said she'd join if we did anything, so she ain't in yet. But the other girls they're there all right because they don't care if they don't do anything but sit on Sam's fence and kick the boards. It's low fence, but it makes an awful noise and the lady next door she sent in word she was taking a nap and we gotta stop it. That lady ain't sick or old or anything, but we had to stop and it kind of bust things up.
 And they ain't. done anything yet except me and George Bishop, we chased around a lot asking people to buy bonds. Most all of 'em had bought or had promised somebody else, but we had lot of fun ringing bells. There was one place where a lady was having a party and her lit tie girl was dressed up all froshy. She was in our room at school and her names Annabel and she went and got her old hat and went around with me and George all the rest of the af- l ternoon.
 l Some of the ladies had been kinda cross about coming to the door, but
 when they saw Annabel that made a 1 difference on account of her being all
 dolled up and some of the ladies knew
 her. She thought nobody wouldn't KNOW SneQ been out, put one or the 1 ladies must a telephoned because An mabel told me at school that her mo- 1 ther didn't like it and wouldn't let her have any party ice cream"
 T don't wonder" said Bobby's fath- CT. She probably didn't improve her dress running around with you boys" "Oh, it wasn't hurt much" Bobby said, airly. Only it got some black on it when she climbed over the front of an auto that was right square in our way. I told her about our unit and she thought just like Nellie that we'd ought to have something to unit on. She knows Nellie, of course, and she says Nellie can knit something swell. She don't like Mamie Kelly no
 more'n anything and she says Mamie
 don't know anything but 'rithmetic, Il anyhow"
 T think you have happened on a
 kindred spirit"
 T don't know. what you call it.
 Bobby said, "but anyhow she's fixed it
 so that her and Nellie will come into the unit"
 Then I gather" his father said that you have found something tc tdo?"
 "Yes," Bobby said hesitatingly
 "Nellie's going to show us, and that was what I wanted to ask you. Nov -er-papa., what do you think about |, us men knitting? Chicago News.

And still we are Unprepared,
 For the war, yes, we are preparing, at last But are we prepared for the direct affects of the war?

 Already they have begun to return armless, legiess, blind-whoily or partially disatled--wrecks! Are they to sit idly at home humiliated, de- those without friends to become tramps and beGgars. or shameful ob- iects of charity as were the maimed veterans of the Civil War?

The Humble Mine Sweeper.

The Humble Mine Sweeper.
 Correspondence of The Associated Press):
 When the story of the humble mine sweeper is fully told, many stirring pages will be added to the history of anti-marine warfare, for this little craft is sharing the work of the dash ing destroyer and chaser in running down U-Boats. A mine e-sweeper in- variable drops it's accustomed business for the bigger game and many an enc my submersible has been accounted for by them.
 According to official reports, there are forty times more mine swEepers in commission to-day in the service of the Allies than in July, 1914.
 Recently a fleet of six, all trawlers, sighted mine adrift. The rough sea prevented the boats from sinking the mine by gunfire, darkness was coming on, and there was a possibility of los ing it. So the commander approached the mine in a small boat, and when within some distance of the drigting menace he took to the water and swan
 to the mine. he returned to his boat i and lowed it ashore, where it was ex- ploded by rifle fire
 Often days elapse before a mine which has been discovered can be de- stroyed. In a terrific gale, with noun tainous seas running, a party of mine | sweepers found nest of eight mines. i The boats were unable to use their guns on them and as night came on the little vessels lay-to in imminent i danger of being washed onto the en- zines of death. Next day two of the i mines were sunk by gunfire, but one ! of the sweepers was lost-how, the 1 report does not state. It was not until ] the evening of the fourth day the last i of the mines was exploded
 l The trawler Manx King hauled up a mine in such dangerous position that
 one horn of the mine came within a few inches of the boats rail and ano-
 ther was almost touching the gear l The slightest roll of the vessel would 1 have caused it's destruction. The difficulty was met by flashing the mine to the sweeper, so that it would not l be bumped against the side, and ex- perts were summoned to remove the detonators from the dangerous prize.

Now, CT, papa" Bobby began after dinner, I want to ask you something"
 All right, fire ahead" his father said, laying down the evening paper. How much do you want?"
 Now you're kidding me" Bobby protested. T just got my weeks wiped dishes when Nora was sick. 1 bought thrift stamp"
 Good for you!" commented Bobby's father.
 "Yes," Bobby agreed complacently. T got five now"
 You've been very saving, I'm pleas ed to note."
 Well" Bobby said, honestly, you see Aunt Mary gave me four. Any how. 1 got more than Mamie Kelly. She up and knitted man a helmet. "
 She's a real patriot"
 If you don't care what you say" Bobby said. grudgingly. Anyhow, the auxiliary her mothers in wouldn't take the helmet because it was too small and she put it on the cat. Gee, that cat looked funny" Bobby continued. Tt was awful mad, too, and we fellers like to bust, we laugh ed so. Mamie laughed, too. till her mother heard her. But you just ought to a seen that cat It ain't come home yet"
 T don't much wonder" "Of course Susie started in knitting | when Mamie did" Bobby went on. 1 And Sam he use to go over and hold yarn for her and her mother. Now, i Susie's father he's doctor and he's head of a unit that's going over. So l of course Sam up and wants to make unit with. him as head and Billy said it was good idea. only he had ought to be the head on account of him being the oldest feHer in our room.
 Billy makes me awful tired. because he works it both ways. Why, it was only last week he licked feller from over on Aunt Mary's street because he said Billy was the oldest feller ir She room. Well, anyhow, we fellers all said we'd be glad to be any old kind of a unit, but we didn't know what we was to unit about. San wanted to have lot of girls in. same as he always does, so him and Billy they said they'd make it a club. Billy's crazy about clubs and that was tht day had to pick up the yard and wasn't there"

RESTORING WOUNDED HORSES.

Great progress has been made in var equipment the same as in every thing else. Today the motor cars, tanks and bicycles are playing a stead fly increasing part in the great struggle in Europe. Much is being done in the way of moving troops, guns and other material by motor which could not be accomplished if the task was left to the railroads or to the horse.
 And yet the army cannot get along without the horse any more than 1t is possible to exclude old Dobbin from the ordinary uses in business. The horse and the mule are decidedly inn Yortant when 1t comes to carrying on

REGISTRATION DAY,

In connection with the bringing into the war service of those who have be- come q years of age since the first draft law went into effect it is of much importance that all male per- sons who were born on or between June 6, 1S9S and June 5, 1897 whether they are citizens or aliens, should pre- sent themselves at the office of the draft board in their respective locali- ties for registration today. The boards will be at their offices from seven o'clock this morning until nine o'clock tonight for this purpose and in that time every one of the designated age, barring the fact that he is already in the service of his country, must ap- peaf before the board and receive his registration certificate.
 As the result of today's registration it ie expected that there will be some where about 75o.o0O names added to the list of those subject to military duty, the age limit not having been lowered to take these in, but the law amended so as to include those who IS time has passed have reached the age at which others were included for the selective service. These young men will be classified following exam nation the same as those in the past. It Is probable that there will be some complicated situations and some not so complicated which will need to be strengthened out, but wherever there is any uncertainty it will be on the side of safety to have the draft boards decide. The law requiring the regis tration is mandatory and failure .to comply with it carries the penalty ot ! years imprisonment, the loss o1 rights and the possibility of immediate call to the service. Everyone within the age limit should therefore meet his obligation and register today.
