Prussia and Poland.

Conflict between the national as
pirations Of the Poles and the German
government is indicated in notices
posted in districts regarded by Berlir
authorities as Prussian territory that
the ordering of or participation in
Polish elections will be regarded as
high treason. Possibly the Poles are
going ahead a bit faster than condi-
tions warrant, but some precautions
should be taken by the allies to pre-
vent interference from Berlin in the
process of organization in Poland.
At present the boundaries of the
state Of Poland have not been defined.
Their deiimitation will be one Of the
most difficult Of the problems before
the Paris conference. That there is to
be an Independent Polish state is gen
orally accepted, save perhaps in Ber-
lin, and nothing should be permitted
in the way of German action to preju-
dice the Polish case or to check the ma
tional development Of the people.
Perhaps there are areas now claimed
by the Poles that must, in the final
settlement, be included in the German
jurisdiction. just so there are doubt
less areas claimed by the Prussians
that will of right be included within
the new state of Poland. At present
those areas should not remain subject
to Prussian domination. If conditions
permitted it would be best to place
force of occupation in charge of these
districts, pending the settlement at
Paris. If the Prussian pressure upon
the Poles continues such a move may
be necessary. One Of the outstanding
facts of the situation is that there will
be a free Poland resulting from the
war, and it is decidedly the business Of
the allied powers to make certain that
Prussia does not in any degree check
the development Of the state, especial
ly as its own fate is now in the bal
ance.

Name the Transfer Points Quickly

A report is expected soon, possibly
at once, from the Public Utilities Com
missions expert adviser on the subject
of reciprocal transfer points to be es.
tablished, and it is to be hoped that
action will quickly follow. The public
has been waiting for nearly two months
for the institution Of these transfers
between the two companies, promised
by the commission when it granted
/ the application for a fve-cent fare.
The fare order, which became effective
without notice on the day of issue,
October q, vas conditioned in part
upon the establishment Of reciprocal
Exchanges, though granted mainly upon
the basis of increased costs and in
view Of orders given for additional
equipment. A feeling has developed
that the action taken considered the in
terests Of the companies rather than
those of the public. Whether this is
true or not, the fact remains that there
has been a deliberation about the Or
dering of the transfer system contrast
ing sharply with the precipitate effec-
tiveness of the fve-cent fares, and the
car-riding public cannot be blamed for
impatience.
It is, of course, fair to consult the
companies with regard to the places at
which transfers are to be issued. But
in the last state of the case the COM
mission has the authority to estab-
iish the system on its own initiative.
limitations have been given that if the
companies resist the transfer order, or
seek to delay its issue unduly, the FIVE
cent fare order will be rescinded. There
is no need to compel compliance with
a transfer order by withdrawal of the
fve-cent fare, or hint at such action.
After two months Of study Of a situa-
ton which should have required far
less than that length of time to con-
slider, an arrangement is assuredly pos
sible that Will meet the public's reason
able requirements without imposing un-
just conditions upon the companies.

doubtful, for it 10 believed that the
German submarine commanders adopt
ed the trick Of loosing oil upon sub
mereence to simulate destruction.
The men who went ont to sea against
the submarines took desperate chances.
They had to fight an almost invisible
foe. They had to outguess the enemy,
knowing that he had a tremendous ad-
vantage in his virtual invisibiity. It
was a contest of wits as well as skill
and courage. Airplanes rendered i'm
portant service in detecting and occa-
sionally in bombing the submarines.
The destroyer feet played havoc with
the enemy's U-boats. Eventually spe-
cial type Of "chaser" was evolved, but
it is not known yet how effective it
was. From the decks Of merchantmen
shots were fred that undoubtedly
found their marks. Again, submarines
were caught in nets and drowned"
Others must have hit mines. Some

The Naval Program.

From certain comment both in this
country and in Europe, one might sup
pose the naval program now shaping
in Congress intended as direct chal-
lenge to Great Britain for use at Yer
sailles. Nothing, Of course, could be
more preposterous.
The President spoke first, and in
order. he was delivering his annual
address to Congress on the state Of
the Union, and making recommends
tions for legislation. In speaking Of
the Navy, he spoke as he had. spoken
before-as he had spoken before the
country entered the war. He declared
for ian Incompatible Navy" several
years ago.
Secretary Daniels followed, and in
order. He was making his annual re-
port to Congress, and necessarily treat.
ed Of the Navy's needs and its future.
He took NO new position, but merely
advocated the continuation Of pol
icy already begun, and sanctioned by
public sentiment.
Rear Admiral Badger of the gen.
eral board of the Navy spoke by in
vitation. The House committee on
naval affairs, with the subject before
it, wanted his views, and he gave them.
These three officials, all qualified to
speak, spoke to the same purpose. They
could not have avoided speaking. AS
already stated, it was in order for
them to speak; and there is not the
slightest reason to believe they would
have spoken differently in any cir
cumstances.
Let us suppose league of nations
formed, with America leading mem
Der Of it. Its sea patrol will be large
order, and our part oft q very con-
siderable one. OF course, We must be
prepared to do our part-must have

The Senate's Voice at Versailles.

The Senate will be heard at Yer
sailles. There can be no reasonable
doubt on that point. It will probably
be heard with greater attention than
if represented by members at the coun-
Gil table.
Take the speech of Mr.. Knox. The
substance, if not the whole text, of
that is already known in every coun-
try in Europe, and even in distant
China and Japan. And the authors
position in American public life is like
wise known-the fact that he is for
mer Secretary Of State, and now a
United States senator with a vote on
any treaty that may be signed at Yer
sailles.
Take, then, the speech of Mr.. Lodge,
delivered Saturday. That deliverance
is assured of an equally wide distribu-
ton and attention. The personality
and the position behind it are we'll
known-the author a student of his
tory, politics and diplomacy, and the
prospective chairman of the Senate
committee to which the treaty when
submitted to the Senate will be re-
ferred. He will have voice and vote
on the treaty, both in the committee
and in the full Senate.
Presumably, other speeches on the
same subject will be made in the Sen
ate before the confabulations at Yer
sailles begin, and even while they are
in progress. For printed reports of
proceedings at the council table may
suggest from time to time approval or
objection in the Senate, and the senti-
ment be promptly expressed.
Had the President gone to the Sen
ate for one or more of its members for
service on the peace commission, men
of the stamp of Mr.. Knox, Mr.. Lodge
and Mr.. Hitchcock would easily have
attracted his eye by reason of their
positions in that body and their knowl-

he selected them, and they have ac-
cepted the commission, they could not
have made their opinions clearer at
Versailles than they are making them
here. It may be, indeed, that their
opinions as senators expressed here at
this time will have more weight than
opinions expressed at later day as
peace commissioners would have had
at Versailles.
The Senate will not forget Versailles,
nor Versailles the Senate. In fact, no
commissioners from any country rep
resented at the peace table will be in
ignorance Of the fact that so far as the
United States is concerned the peace
treaty must receive the sanction of the
Senate before its value becomes great
er than the paper on which it is writ
ten.

Awaiting the Submarine Report

Now that hostilities have ceased and
the German navy has been virtually
surrendered and all likelihood of re-
newed submarine warfare has passed
there is no reason for further secrecy
regarding the anti-submarine opera
tions Of the allied navies. During the
war the British admiralty kept an ab-
solutely tight lid on these operations
and permitted no reports to become
public. There were stories, Of course,
about submarines sunk and captured,
but they were unofficial and lacked in
details and credibility. The reason for
this secrecy was psychological rather
than = military one. It was figured
that silence regarding the work Of the
British naval forces in the submarine
zone tended to demoralize the German
crews. Whether it did or not, the pol
icy was maintained scrupulously
throughout the war and was adopted
Uy tuC Z ICHCu, 4CdlIdu anu eventually
the American naval administrations.
Doubtless report will some day be
made giving in detail the operations
Of the fleets, and particularly the SUBJ
marine hunters. Perhaps it il now in
compilation. It will make most inter
esting reading. That many German
U-boats were sent to the bottom is as
sured. just how many, perhaps, can
never be told save by examination of the
German naval records. It was difficult
to make certain Of destruction. The
official rule was to score . sinking
only when there was positive evidence
that the enemy's submarine had been
destroyed, such as her eollspse on the
surface. her submergence in . poGition
