New Foe of the U-Boat.

Bearing directly on the shipping
problem was the announcement dur
ing the week that a new and highly
efficient type of U-boat destroyers are
to be turned out on a quantity basis
at the Ford works in Detroit.
This news Is distinctly comforting,
coming on almost the same day as a
British warning that great subma-
rine drive against American shipping
may be looked for in the near future.
1t is not expected. of course. that any
of the new Ford destroyers will be
ready in time to meet the predicted
early drive. but the public is learning
to take a future as well as a present
view of the war. Though many Amer
lean ships may be sunk before the new
enemy of the submarine is ready for
the seas. other American>-<hips are

CORRESPONDENCE OF the AsSOCtated Press.
AMSTERDAM, January 19.-Theater
rations have now been introduced in
Germany, and a discussion of the in
novation is going on all over the coun-
try. The competition for seats at sue
cessful plays has become SO keen that
ticket spectators have been reaping
a wonderful harvest. In an attempt to
curtail their operations without inter-
fering with legitimate purchasers sew
eral theaters have decided that hence
forth no more than four tickets may be

Congress Still Resentful.

Though the critics in Congress have
been silenced. it does not follow that
there has been full restoration of
cordiality between the legislative and
the executive branches of the govern
ment. Congress shows a disposition to
be resentful at what it regards as a
desire to keep it outside the inner
councils of the government. and there
is no little uneasiness lest that re-
sentiment lead it to withhold legisla-
fion really necessary to the winning
of the war
There were frequent voicings at the
Capitol during the week Of determi-
nation that there shall be no further
extensive grants of executive power,
even when such grants are asked by
the President as war measures. Secre-
tary McAdoo's proposal for a half-bil-
hon n-dollar corporation to regulate
credits to industry and Herbert Hoov-
ers request for increased authority for
the food administration came at a
to give them a sympathetic reception.
The bill in preparation which would
confer upon the President extensive
price-hxing powers also came in for
criticism and opposition which it had
not encountered earlier
Mr. McAdoo cannot put his loan cor
poratlon plan into operation unless
Congress votes him the money, but Mr..
Hoover, through proclamations by the
PRESIDENT under existing law, is stead
lily increasing his control over the ma
tion's supply and use of foodstuffs One
OF the things Mr.. Hoover specifically
asked was that hotels. restaurants and
other public eating places be placed
dennitely under his jurisdiction Pend
ing such action by Congress, a sub
stantial part of the desired control is
obtained through a presidential procIa-
nation issued during the week.
Ihe proclamation requires that all
persons who bake bread for sale shall
OBTAIN food administration license,
restaurants and other public eating
places and clubs are included in the
requirement. This. it would seem.
gives Mr. Hoover pretty effective con-
eroi over such eating places. Either
they, must obtain licenses. and thereun-
der submit to food administration regu-
ietions. or they must discontinue ba K
ing ofead. pies'and cakes in their own
ovens Few establishments of any size
would be willing to depend wholly on
commercial bakers for these products.

sity, the people joyfully welcome the

Secretary Bakers speech before the
Senate military committee Monday was
easily the leading event in week
filled with stirring developments he
revealed many things calculated 10
make Americans proud of their coun-
try. but standing out above all others
was the fact of the number OF men
sent and ready to send to France. He
told the committee that there now are
in France a great many more Ameri-
can soldiers that it was thought last
August it would be possible to send;
that by spring there will be not less
than half a million of them: that mil
Hon and a half will be ready to send
this year if the transport is availa Bile.
And, he added, there is reason to hope
that the ships will be provided.
This revelation. together with the
statement that the frequent and con-
fusing changes in program were at the
instance of France and England and
not due to a lack of fixed policy. pretty
effectively disposed of the major criti-
cisms of the War Department That
many minor things had gone wrong
that there had been many instances Of
inefficiency and inattention to duty.
Mr. Baker did not attempt to deny
Minor blunderings, deplorable and
costly though they may have been.
