New York. June 5.-American par
ticipation III the war, in the fight
against German submarines and in
the shipbuilding program were BELT
tied by Vice Admiral Won Capelle,
German Minister of the Navy, in his
speech in the ReichStag few weeks
ago, as reported by German news
| papers received here
The military help of America in
the first year of the war was very
! little regarding troops and airplanes, .
declared Won Capelle. The expecta :
! ton OF our enemies has been greatly
! disappointed. If America later wants
; to maintain half a million troops IN
France it will need permanently a
freight space lin steam ships) Of
about 100000 tons which again
would be deprecated from the service
of supplying her allies.
According to American and Brit
ish statements. the participation Of
such large army is no longer in
volved in this campaign.
! I'm order to carry out the gigantic
American program of ship construc-
ton, the shipyards must first be built.
In 1917, America, following all her
huge promises, built 900 gross
: tons of sea going ships. The large
merchant fleet which America has or
dered is not being built for the war
but IN order to take the place OF
England as the worlds shipper after
the war when the ships will have
been compile ted"
Discussing the economic situation
created by Americas entrance irtO
the war Won Capelle pointed out that
the United States was the most i'm
portant source of supplies for the En-
tcnte nations but. he added: Owing
to the tremendous armament pro-
gram of President Wilson, such eco
nomic difficulties have developed that
America, the land of export, must
now begin to ration herself instead,
as had been hoped. to aid the En- :
tente nations in increasing measures.
All in all, it can be said that the
economic difficulties of our enemies
have been increased by America
entrance into the war.
In reply to charges that the Ger
man submarine. building program
was not progressing as rapidly as it
should, Won Capelle admitted that
Germanys enemies had attained GER
tain successes in their defensive
measures against the U-boats. But"
he added. they have at no time af-
fected the C-boat warfare in any
way decisively and. according TO
foresight will not be able to do so
in the future.
The American U-boat chasers
over which much fuss has been made,
are failure.
The convoy system which gives
the ships a certain protection on the
other hand has great disadvantages.
There is not day in which one or
several ships are not shot out Of con :

lifetime ones ears continue to grow
bigger. The ears OF girl, admired
perhaps for their small size. are
fairly large by the time she has
reached middle age. In old age they
may be larger. In any company of
people one may notice that IT is the
elders who have the big ears. In the
very old they are overgcuwn.

ROUND THE CORNER.

The cover of mail order catalogue
often shows an engraving of the
firms business premises. AS a rule
the building is large-much larger
than any store in Brownsville.
Reasoning loosely, reader might
conclude that he would get wider
selection by patronizing a mail-order
house. The size of the catalogue con-
veys the same idea.
The mail-order house caters to the
whole United States, and offers every
thing from fish-hooks to peanuts. So
the catalogues are bulky. The peanuts
are neither better nor more varied than
those sold in Brownsville, though we
may not find our peanuts and fish
hooks in the same store. Each sepa-
rate line of goods maintains as high
quality as those hauled from five
hundred miles away.
The mail-order house catalogue
compiler knows his business, but he
doesn't know Brownsville. Every re-
taller here knows a bunch of US by
cur first names. 1t is their business
to know what Brownsville people want
and to worry about no one else. The
more steadily we patronize them the
better they will succeed in catering
to our peculiar needs.

GERMAN PROPAGANDA.

Germany fights with other weapons
than the cannon, the machine gun and
the fame protector; it depends in adj
ditiDn on the widespread lie and the
craven word. It's agents prepared the

nant suggestion of the enemy.
The Italian defeat at Caporetto was
owing as much to carefully organic
ed political propaganda among the
troops at the front as to the military
skill of Gen. Won Below. The subtle
defeatist campaign that in 1917 Ger
many engineered in France, came dan
gerously near breaking the mighty
spirit of the republic.
Hopeless now Of beating the allies
in the field, Germany will redouble its
efforts to separate them and to dis
courage them. It has many clever
agents who are expert at the quiet
and plausible circulation of stories
that tend to rouse the jealousy and

THE TRIUMPH OF ANNEXATION

HE IhlUMfI VI AbNEGAIION.
Many of US are at disadvantage
through our lack of visual imagina-
ton.
We can read of the 0tranto disaster
without seeing a mental picture Of
the storm. We cannot see the waves
mounting seventy feet high, and the
American soldiers lining the rails with
the discipline of the parade ground
till receiving the order to jump. The
printed page cannot give US the same
thrill as the celuloid film, and on these
occasions the camera is not in action.
Those who lost relatives in the dis
aster will see the picture more wildly,
and among the khaki-clad figures that
people it will be one outlined more dis
tinctly than any Of the others. But
even in its bitterest poignancy thna
Grief will find some consolatia
the victorious progress Of the HndcV
taking to which their kinmen con-
tributed by the example Of death he
roically faced. They were as much a
part of it as those whose graves have
consecrated Chateau Thierry and St.
Mihiel.
Over 322,333 American soldiers
were landed in France during the
month of August. 1000 American To-
cornotives are operating there, and
over 10000 American freight-cars-
all used in transporting men and sup
plies to the front. More than 1900, 900
American soldiers were in France in
October.
The unselfish patriotism that glad
ly yields its kinsmen to the further
arce Of sublime cause finds consola-
ton even in cold arithmetic such as
this. Every wooden cross in French
and Flemish soil, every unmarked
grave in the Atlantic is sacred as a
part of the price which we pay as
nation for the accomplishment of our
stedfast resolve.
