DANIELS SAYS
REMEDY FOUND
FOR U-BOATS
Secretary Of Navy Optimis-
TIC Over Measures Against
Undersea Boats.

The war against enemy submarines
Is being won"
New methods and new devices are
rapidly gaining headway on the un-
dersea craft"
This statement was made by Secre-
tary Of the Navy Daniels last night
The anti-submarine fight cannot be
won by any single patent Device" said
the Secretary. Many new devices and
many new methods Of combating the
U-boats have been tried out and de-
veloped as the war has progressed.
We have been working on new devices
for overcoming the underwater boats
for some time.
Some Of them already have gone
over"
The anti-submarine fight will be
won; it IL being won." he stated pos
itiveIy.
The Secretary made it plain that he
did not intend to leave the impression
that the American sea forces deserved
all the credit for the successes Of the
warfare against enemy undersea craft.
I'VE are operating in thorough CO.
operation with the other allied navies. IS
he asked the newspapermen to under
stand.
II was also made plain that It must
not be generally accepted as q fact
that the U-boat menace has been fl
nally overcome. The Germans still
are giving fight, he said. ndIt will
require a long time to put them COM
pletely out Of business.
The more devices and the more
destroyers We have" said the Sec
retary, the sooner we will win"
II was intimated that further de-
vices and methods Of conquering the
submarine foe were being developed.
As these new Vaccinations are
brought to the desired state OF eff
cheney. they are sent to the other
side for actual tryouts against the
Kaiser's only effective sea weapon.
The naval experts of Great Britain
and France also are working on anti
submarine measures. With their long
er experience IN contact with the
U-boats, they are contributing largely
to the success of the general plan
of campaign against submarines.
Navy officials are more optimistic
over the prospects OF subduing the
undersea boats than at any time since
this country entered the war. Sec
retary Daniels was enthusiastic. He
was confident that absolute victory
over the U-boats was assured.
The Secretary believes it is only
a question Of time before the seas
will be safe for the Transporting OF
The necessary troops, munitions and
supplies to make victory on land
equally certain.

BILL PROVIDES FOR
CLEANING D. c. SNOW
Senate Passes Measure Appropriat-
\ ing $4,000 for Task.

Cleaning Of snow from the side
walks and pavements in the District
is made compulsory In a bill passed
in the Senate yesterday. Senator
Dillingham;. of the Committee on the
District OF Columbia, reported the bill.
Provision is made whereby every
person in control or charge of a house
or lot abutting on a paved sidewalk
within the fire limits Of the District.
whether owner. tenant, occupant, les
see or otherwise, shall remove snow
or Ice within the first four hours Of

The bill carries $4,000 for the use
of the District Commissioners and the
chief of engineers, one-half payable
from the revenues of the District.

NAVY DEPARTMENT
WANTS new OFFICE
Present Quarters Too Small for
Increased Force.

Erection of a building for the ex-
elusive use of the Navy Depart
ment Is being urged in Congress.
Cramped for space, Secretary
Daniels was recently. forced to ask
permission for authority to lease
the big building being erected on
the site of the old Arlington Hotel,
but. as Congress Is usually opposed
to the policy of renting additional
buildings for government use. 1t Is
thought likely provision for new
building will soon be granted. This
is said to be the only satisfactory
solution OF the question.
While it was originally planned
for the Navy Department to share
an equal portion of the temporary
frame buildings being erected in
Henry Park, on the Mall. increased
activity in the War Department now
precludes this division and Secre-
tary Bakers corps of workers will
be granted use of them all

House BILL WOULD
PROTECT SHARK Line
Small Railroads Promised Square
Deal in Amendment.

A final draft of the railroad ad-
ministration bill, agreed to yesterday
by the House Interstate Commerce
Committee, shows several points Of
difference from the Senate measure.
The most important are:
An amendment proposed by Demo
cratic Leader Kitchin, with the ap-
proval Of Director McAdoo, provid-
ing the President shall route freight
as nearly as possible so as not to
disadvantage short lines not taken
into the Federal system.
Another amendment directing that
II any money shall be earned in op-
eration in excess of the three-year
average, it shall go into the national
treasury.
The House already conflicts with the
Senate as to rate-making, in which
it insists that the President and not
the interstate Commerce Commission
shall be he final authority; and in
disapproving the workmen's compen-
sation section.
Chairman Sims said the bill would
be formally reported to the House
Friday. and doubtless be ready for
debate by Monday.

by Mrs. Cole against her husband.

Sly Shots at the Solons.
By THE OBSERVER.

The Mississippian who suggests
the abolishment of State legislatures
undoubtedly will be suggesting the
abolishment of Congress at an early
date. A commission form of govern
ment for the nation would be a war
cabinet plan worked out to the Nth
degree.
Brother Charles Bryan. of
Lincoln, Nebraska. was in the city
yesterday. He was formerly mayor
there, and once aspired to be gov
denotes drew both him and his
brother into the maelstrom of de-
feat in Nebraska in 1916.
Representative Borland believes that
clerks in the Agricultural Depart
ment should work as long as farm
ers do in the fields, during harvest
time. Mr.. BorIand forgets that farm
the clerks do not.
While Dave Lawrence is defending
the War Department with all zeal,
stories in columns parallel to his
own. show that Secretary Baker has
discovered need for reorganization
and change. Appears queer that
things need changing II they have
been good from the first doesn't It?
But everything is good when one has
Dawes viewpoint.
There isn't a member of Congress,
or a newspaper man who has attend
ed the military committee hearings,
but who knows on the whole the in
vestigation has brought about much
needed results. Dave Lawrence can
write differently. but be happens not
to be writing popularity when he does
so.
This man, F. ]. Heney, who Is
raiding the packers vaults and doing
other things TO startle humanity, may
later aspire to a seat in Congress. II
he happens to be on an investigating
COMMITTEE he will stand side by side
with some of the famous investiga-
tors Of Congressional history. There
is an art in probing which Heney ap-
pears to have mastered.
Ever since Secretary McAdoo be-
came a treasury oficer Congress has
had to sit down, now and then, on
some phases of his financial pro-
posals. Thus far, taking everything
into consideration it is about fifty
lfty-McAdoo gets half of what he
wants, and Congress changes the
other half to suit itself.
Congressional action to clear the
walks of the city Is a safety first
measure which was bound to come.
II daylight saving and other legisla-
ton became so obviously necessary
as this legislation It would not be
long IN reaching the statute books.
Senator Calder IL ready to accept
the aid Of nature any time II is
profered for his bill.
The probable choice Of an iowa man
for the Craftsmanship OF the Republi-
can National Committee leaves the
way open for Senator Cummins to re-
consider and make a trial for the
Presidential nomination in 1920. His
friends are looking at 1t that way,
at least.
Representative Stephens has let II
be known that he will oppose most
vigorously on the floor of the house
the plan to limit the operation of
railroads to any particular time. He
will stand with the administration in
that regard and win try to over
turn the large committee majority
against him. He will likely Join
Chairman Sims In rendering a
minority report and will fight the
matter to close on the floor.

Lakevista. The Grange exhibit took
the first prize. Lakevista school ex-

Mrs. Cora Wilkerson took fourteen

Grange took part with a parade of
decorated cars representing the degrees
in grange work. Flora was represented
by Mrs. Eva Gordon McDill; Ceres, by
Mrs. Dalphue Schlegel Pomona, by
Mrs. Elsa Hindmarsh.
Sunday afternoon patriotic meeting

was music and speaking, but the most
important of all was that Lakevista
went over the top for the Fourth

Next Saturday evening, October II,

Everybody come. Take an evening off

SECRETARY McADO0 ON SAVING

Il want you to think of this situa-
ton for the moment as one big gen.
eral store. with Uncle Sam as propris-
tor. Uncle Sam has got to see that
his own people are fed and taken caro-
OF; he has got to see, in addition, that
the 100000 men, perhaps 100000
men, whom we are going to put into
the field are fed and clothed and
equipped with the things that are
necessary to enable them to become
trained soldiers. These men Will be
taken out of the fields of productive
enterprise. They will be for the time
they are in the war idle men from an
economic standpoint. They have got
to be fed and clothed and equipped.
That means an enormous drain upon
the general store that We have not
heretofore had, and unless we econo-
mize and prevent waste it is very
serious question whether we shall be
able to produce enough to meet all OF
our demands and the demands Of the
rest of the world. Everything that We
save is going 10 release that much in
the general store for the support OF
our own armies and the armies Of
Europe"

woman and child can save and lend
in order to feed. clothe, arm, and
equip the soldiers and sailors OF
America and to win this righteous war
In defense of American honor and the
cause Of democracy throughout the
world.
II we are to win the war, we must
win 1t as united people. The savings
OF every man, woman, and child are
necessary If we are to hasten the VIC
torious ending Of the war. War Saver.
