OUR SUBMARINES
CROSS ATLANTIC
Fleet of American PIungers
Braves Bitter Gales, But
Arrives Safely.
MANY DRIVEN FROM COURSE
But Later Reach Destination and Join
in Fight Against the German
U-Boats.

Washington, April 10.-In the face
Of bitter winter gales, American sub
marines, primarily designed for oper-
ations off the home coasts, have cross
ed the Atlantic Ocean to fight against
German U-boats. They are now aid
ing allied naval forces, as are Ameri-
can destroyers and American naval
airmen, and they have been in the
war zone for some months.
Secretary Daniels revealed that the
submarines had gone over there in
his address at Cleveland last Satur-
day at a Liberty Loan celebration, but
gave no details. 1t is now possible to
tell for the first time of the midwin-
ter passage of the boast across the
seas in the face of the most severe
GUS passages, the best traditions of
the service were maintained.
No Hint of Departure.
The first submarines to leave got
under way in early winter. Arrange
ments for the trip were made without
a hint appearing in the papers, and,
in fact, until Secretary Daniels spoke,
no word had been published Of the
participation of the under water boats
in the war against Germany.
The navy had some experience with
long distance work with submarines
on which to draw. Boats have been
sent to the Philippines, to Hawaii and
to Panama, but always in mild sea-
sons of the year and with plenty Of
time for precautionary steps.
Crossed Without Disaster.
This time, however, they were to
go in winter, and terrible winter at
that, with the Atlantic in its ugliest
mood. The steps taken to get them
across cannot be disclosed, but the
fact the department had no disaster
to record is pointed to as proof Of
their efficiency.
Officers and men of the submarines
faced hard days as they put out
Cramped in narrow quarters and with
storms in prospect, they steered to
sea with complete confidence in them
selves and their boats. A laconic re-
port of uneventfuI voyages bore out
that confidence.

AMERICAN navy
IS SPEEDING UP
During Past Year 1,275 Ships
Have Been Added, Secre-
tary Daniels Says.
MANY OTHERS NOW BUILDING
Nearly 800 Small Craft Including De-
stroyers Under Construction
Plants Working Night
and Day.

Chicago, April i1.-Since April 6,
1917, the day on which war was de-
clared against Germany, there have
1,275 vessels, aggregating 1,055, JIG
tons, Secretary of the Navy Daniels
declared here tonight in an address.
In addition to the battle cruisers,
dreadnaughts and scout cruisers, au-
thorized, some building and others de-
ferred temporarily for the more press
ing construction of ships to transport
soldiers and munitions and supplies"
he said, 1--WE are now building of what
is technically known as smaller craft
from IS to 1,215 tons each, 794 vessels,
with an aggregate tonnage of 420, PIT
tons.
Night and Day on Destroyers.
I'VE are now working day and night
In government and in private plants
on the construction of more destroy
ers than were in all the allied navies
when war began, and every possible
facility is being created to construct
additional fighting craft which can be
effective against the submarine sti-
Ietto warfare of assassination and
murder"
Mr.. Daniels then turned to the eff
forts being made to increase the mer-
chant marine, declaring that the SUI
preme need of the hour is for ships
to carry millions of soldiers to France.
He pointed out that today there are
800 vessels under American control
with tonnage of 2,762,6O5 and that
In addition All 900 tons of Dutch ships
would soon be put into the service.
Made Plea for Liberty Loan.
Later Secretary Daniels addressed
a crowd estimated at $4,000 persons
at the stock yards, advocating pur-
chases of Liberty Bonds, in which he
declared:
eff ever the boys on the front be-
gin to get tired, it will then be time
for some man to keep a dollar in his
pocket which will give them comfort
and protection, and not until then

AIRCRAFT PROGRAM Jagged
Senate Military Committee Recon-
mends Drastic Reorganization of
Production Machinery of Planes.

Washington, April 1.-THE govern
ment's aircraft program is character
lied as "graYely disappointing, and a
drastic reorganization of production
machinery was recommended in re-
port by the Senate military committee
today, which charges government Of
ficials with misrepresenting the stu
alton and misleading the public, and
with "procrastination" and "indeci-
sion"
The prospects for the future, the
committee said, look more favorable
and the production of the last few
weeks promises to get the program
under way to such an extent that
sufficient number of planes will be
furnished later to meet all require
ments of the troops in France.

CONSUMPTION FOR IRELAND
Lloyd George Says That Compulsory
Service Can No Longer Be

London, April 1O.-When an emer-

George said in the House of Com

er to exclude Ireland from conscrip-
ton by Parliament in which Ireland
was represented and which had com

q dissenting voice.

er task awaiting us, more subtle and
in some ways more exacting than the
military problem. We must create a
new world in politics. Among other
things we must remake the map of
Europe, grouping nationalities, and
providing the geographic basis for de-
velopment. We must provide for a
real freedom Of the seas. We must
make provisions for limited rather
than an absolute sovereignty on the
part of nations. We must provide some
sort of world organization for the
keeping of peace This is big task,
a bold task, but there is no way out
of it. The alternative is to admit de-
feat.
And since we are living in democ-
racy it falls upon you and me, upon
the farmers, the butchers, the doctors,
the builders, to determine the funda-
mental policy OF America in this work.
To be sure we can depend upon train
ed governmental officials to carry out
the details of administration and Dip
lomacy. In such matters we may, and
should keep "hands off," But if de-
mocracy means anything, the big, ba-
sic principles Of national policy must
spring from the people. The wisdom
of democratic state cam never rise
very far above the vision Of the people.
If America is to take her place in this
crisis, to lead, as she probably must,
the masses of the American voters
must have a fairly accurate knowledge
of world conditions, and be essentially
sane in their judgments.
We must, therefore, be up and doing
right now. AS people we have been
woefully out of things. We have prid-
ed ourselves in our isolation, and il
has served us well up to this point.
But we have lot of things to learn.
We must know more Of the old Europe,
its traditions. its jealousies, its diplo-
matte ways. We must know more of
the Balkans, of Russia, of the Orient,
of imperialism, of trade, Of the forces
of social unrest. We must, in fact,
in many fields, learn in day what
Europe has lived for centuries.
We should not, Of course, let our
thinking interfere with our fighting.
We would not withdraw a single man
from the battlefront to aid in this
work. But you and /, while we are
planting war-gardens and buying Lib
erty bonds, must seriously apply our
selves to laying a basis for clear, sane
thought, if all our sacrifice of wealth
and treasure is not to be meaningless
waste. We should cooperate, get To-
gether and thresh matters out. Ev-
cry community should plan, as a war

IF YOU CAN'T FIGHT, THINK
LEROY F. Jackson, professor of
American History, Washing
ton State College)

We are at war, we Americans. We
are all conscious Of it now. We are
fighting fiercely and without thought
of compromise. We see red. We will
fight thru to victory. Nothing can stop
us. Uncle Sam has started in to clean
things up and he is in deadly earnest.
But what is it all about? What is
it for? To carve up the Kaiser. To
crush the Germans. And then what ?
Set up conditions in keeping with the
American spirit, "to make the world
safe for democracy"
Yes, it is democracy that we are
fighting for. We all know that. But
do we stop to realize what this same
democracy means for the immediate
future? 1t means that after the coun-
try has won its cause, after our gov
eminent and our armies have achieved
victory it will be necessary for the
people = the plain, common, voting
people-to determine what to do with
it. There is no use in winning war
if we do not make it count. We are
not fighting for the fun of it. Millions
of men and billions Of money-for
what?
Do we know what? This will be
the test of world democracy. Can a
group of states, depending upon the
wisdom of the masses, construct a
world program. Germany could. The
German ruling classes know exactly
what they want. It is one thing for us
to destroy the definite aggressive
plans Of the Central military powers
by force; it is another thing to build
up constructive program based upon
freedom and Justice to take ifs place.
