A NEW POLICY.

One of the tasks before the new
congress will probably be the formu-
lation and adoption of a new shipping
policy.
Government building and operation
VI ships as at present is admittedly to
meet the war emergency.
Under our existing laws and rules
Of shipping board, operation of ships
under the American flag will be much
m ore costly than under amp other
flag where Japanese, Chinese, Lascars,
Italians or Europeans are employed
as part of the crews using the more
highly educated men such as imeri-
can seamen in the more imp ortant
positions of navigating and operating
the ships.
II these ships are to remain under
the American flag and carry traffic
in competition with those of other ma
tons, some plan must be found to
eliminate this difference in cost of
operation in order that American
owneIs may compete under il teIna-
tional conditions.
1t has been suggested that the gov =
eminent pay difference in cost Of op.
GRAFTON by chartering vessels to op.
crate companies at rates which will
enable them to meet competition.
This would virtually be subsidy and
lead to endless political favor!tism.
Other means would be to change our
shipping laws, etc, making for moro
economical operation.
1t is not necessary and no person
proposes TO lower the labor standards,
either in food, wages or accommo-
dations for the American seamen but
it is no help to American seamen to
force regulations onto American ship
owners which kill their American
Merchant Marine in peace tires and
force American seamen to seek Ser
vice under foreign flags,
The shipping question will undouht-
edly become a national political i,ruc.
The war has been made the excuse by
enthusiastically inclined politicians 20
fasten upon the nation the POLICY Of
government ownership which was not
originally contemplated.
1t will devoTve on the new congress
to review the whole subject and de .
eide on a policy which acco-ds with
tive as the future of private industi Y
in Amreica is at stake.

SEA SCAVENGERS
LEARN TO SWIM
AF TER U-bOATS
ASSOCIATED Press correspondence

On Board an American Destroyer in
French Waters, Sept. 30.-Sharks and
seagulls, the scavehgers of the sea
have learned to fol ow in the wake of
the submarines and watch and wait
for the food likely to come from the
wreckage of merchant vessels destroy
ed by the German sea wolves This
fact has been observed by the COM
manders of American destroyers and
is used as a clue to hunt down the
Hun at sea.
The presence of schools of sharks
and flocks of seagulls puts the men
OF the American destroyers on the tip
toe of expectation when they are
hunting for periscope in the path of
American transports. One command
err returning to port the other day
said: 1--WE saw good many sharks and
flocks of seagulls and these, you know,
are pretty good sign of submarines.
After several years of sinkings by
submarines, the sharks and sea fowl
have formed the habit of following in
thu ua'ro of submarines knowing that
food is kelly to come from the wreck
ago. Whether it is cargo thrown over
board from the freighter or wreckage
thrown up from the torpedo explosion
males no difference; the appearance
of sharks and birds usually means that
there are submarins around"

THE DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT.

The democratic party has suffered
great and deserved defeat. For
this action on the part of the Ameri-
can voters there were two reasons:
/. The country had weighed in the
balance the democratic leadership in
congress and found it wanting, both in
wisdom and in patriotism.
.. The voters Of the nation resented
the appeal of the president for the
return Of u democratic senate and
house as a patriotic war measure, be-
cause they knew the appeal was not
sincere The knowledge that the
president would resort to such thing
for the sake of partisan advantage
disguised thousands of voters who had
dear ones risking all and giving all on
the bloody fields of France and Flan-
ders.

WHY WOOL is SCARCE.

Tho army and navy monopolize the
wool market. orders from our SOL
diers and sailors not only require
every high grade pound produced in
the United States, but compel the
utilization of our precious ships to
bring i'll more. Civilian requirements
depend and must depend for con-
siderable time to come upon the
shoddy and rejected stocks that fall
below the army and navy require
ments.
During recent years we have shorn
about 100000 fleece. If all Of this
the pulled wool taken from sheep and,
lambs slaughtered for meat brings
the total clip up to the equivalent OF
about 100000 fleeces. II all of this
were suitable for military use, which
unfortunately is not true, it would
be enough for only half of the 4,oO,-
600 men we will have under arms.
In 1917 Argentina sold us 100000
900 pounds as against 100000
pounds three years ago. Uruguay
quadrupled her shipments and Chile

PAID IN HIS OWN COIN

The son of a wealthy man was given
a much needed lesson in politenes.
by poor gatekeeper. One rainy day
as the young man was proudly driv.
ing his new car he came to a toll gate
and asked haughtily what he was tc
pay.
Ten cents, if you please" said the
civil gatekeeper.
Instead of handing the money tc
him the self conceited young man
with the air of a, grand duke, threw
half dollar carelessly on the wet
and muddy ground
There, take your change out OF
that" he said.
The keeper stopped for the silver
and, placing the change exactly on
the same spot, walked into his cot
tage.
The lesson was not wasted, for the
boy learned that it does not pay to
be impolite or discourteous to any
one.-The Irish World.

TURNING AGAINST THE KAISER.

According to the Copenhagen cor
respondent of the Exchange Telegraph
company, high placed German officials
at Copenhagen have received informal
ton that the German emperor has abb
dictated.
The report has not been confirmed,
and it may be groundless, but if po.
litical conditions in Germany are such
as dispatches have represented them
TO be, the kaiser would do we'll not
only to abdicate but to go to some
neutral country for an indefinite va
cation. The spirit OF freedom seems
to be growing in Germany, and with
its growth comes a demand from GER
tain elements for the punishment of
those who so long deprived the peo-
pie of their rightful liberties and then
led them into a disastrous war. Those
who did this are the German military
cabal, with the kaiser at their head.
German provincial and socialist
newspapers, it is said, continue their
campaign against the Chief culpIts,'
responsible for the war, openly de d.
manding the abdication of the kaiser
and at the same time declaring that
the accession of the crown prince is
entirely out OF the question.
THE German people is searching
for the guilty" say the Volks Zeitung.
The Pan-Germans and Junkers are
silent today, but we do not forget
that they are the great war meters
in Germany, that they remain the
support of social and political reac-
ton and that they are a menace to
the future healthy development Of the
German empire. The Pan-German
policy has gone bankrupt, but unfor-
tunately, it has led the German people
into disaster To the gallows with the
guilty, whoever they may be-"
The Arbitcr Zeitung of Vienna urges
the German socialists to punish the
''chief culprits" without mercy, ad-
ding: when the German soldiers re-
turn home from the trenches after
four years of unparalleled suffering
there will be a reckoning for the
people who have led them to this
catastrophe. The German people will
sweep away the Junkers and take its
own destiny into it's own hands"
The German people do not have to-
look far to find the chief culprits y
The kaiser and his crowd of war lords
are the guilty parties, and they may
we'll be a little apprehensive. The
German people are becoming con-
WINGED that there is no partnership
the kaiser does not rule by divine
right, and they appear to be turning
against him. The breeze of resent
ment against the war party that isl
now blowing in Germany may become
great wind that will wipe out the
ruling classes. Such a result of the
developing reaction from the war
would only be history repeating itself
Revolution may follow realization Of
the disaster that has overtaken Ger
MANY and the German people, and
revolutions often go to bloody eX-
extremes Perhaps the kaiser and his
crowd may count themselves FORUM

THE ANSWER AT LAST.
Scientific American.

The reason why the COW or chicken
on the right side Of the road turns to
cross over to the left and vice versa
is because the eye of the animal. which
sees and appreciates the danger of the
advancing car, is by instinct kept on
the dangerous object. To turn to the
right and escape would blind the ami
mai during the period of turning, and
this she will not willingly do. But If
she runs across the road in front of
the car, the eye with which she first
observed it will keep 1t clearly and
continuously in view. and. she thinks,
allow her to escape the impending
danger. sfs
