GERMANY RELIES
ON GIANT U-BOATS
Winter Weather Interferes
With Allied Operations
Against Hun Submarines.
US. DESTROYER HAS BRUSH
By the Associated Prsss.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. January 1.-THE subma-
rine warfare has gradually taken on
new phase since the wintry weather
set in. Submarines Of the so-called
cruiser type now are doing most Of
| the sinkings, while the smaller sub
work largely to mine laying. The rea-
son for this shifting Of German tech
nique is that small submarines are not
good surface craft in stormy seas,
while the cruiser type has proved won
derfully seaworthy. being actually
more manageable than the modern tor
pedo boat destroyer in heavy weather.
These cruiser submarines carry two
SO guns and sixteen torpedoes and can
remain at sea six weeks. The Germans
have built a considerable number Of
these REPRESENTATIVES, since the first
one visited American waters, but SO
many OF them have been lost that there
are now not moro than seven or eight
operating.
Manned by Pick Of Navy.
These. however. are manned by the
pick OF the whole German navy. and
their power for harm may be Judged
vessels are able to keep up such a
heavy toll of sinkings among allied
shipping. A considerable proportion of
the recent sinkings have been accom-
plished by gunfire. The cruiser sub
marine guns no longer are of the old
type. which folded into the body Of
the craft when it submerged and had
to be unfolded before q U-boat could
get into action. The new guns are Of
species known technically as wet
guns. being constructed of material
which sea water does not harm. They
are mounted on stationary platforms.
Therefore, they are always ready and
can be fred the instant the deck Of an
emerging boat is above water.

THE STRAWS SHOW WHICH
WAY THE WIND BLOWS

The people of this state have two
ways of selecting the next Governor.
One is that they read and study the
various candidates for Themselves
this is the proper way fo~ every man
who is entitled to the ballot, and the
man who viii be led about by the
nose by some man he regards as
'higher up" is no man-just bit of
refuse.
The other method of telling who to
vote for is to watch certain manipula
tors and then vote opposite to what
they do. Both are sure ways. There
are men in every town that try to
drive men To vote as they see; if
these small fellows owe the fellow that
calls himself leade~, this big fellow
uses coercion. If force won't do then
he uses various methods Of persuasion.
The ballot is a sacred thing and the
man who don't care or don't know how
TO use it ought to have a guardian ap-
pointed. The dangerous interests Of
the country-and they are ever
present. always have some henchman
near to "advise" a man how to vote.

THE UNIVERSITIES PART
IN THE DRIVE.

The business men Of Oxford have
their hands full at this season. They.
like the millions of business men Of
this country have had big part in
the winning Of the war. We do not
mean to infer that they are dollar
chasers when we say that they are
now up TO their ears trying TO handle
their Christmas trade. They have
given literally and they must now
make the money to pay the many
pledges that they have made.
The place of the American College
in the present war has been one Of
leadership and this place Of leader
ship in the future viii be more dis
tinct. The call Of the world is for
leaders and the function OF the Uni
versities of the land is TO become work
shops to turn out leaders to lake up
the work of reconstruction. With
this idea in mind a small group of stu
dents have united into an organization
known as a Forum to help i'm some Of
the movements looking to human up
lift. There is a threefold help. it will
help the work that they represent. It

they have to say and the biggest thing
of all il viii help the men who take

Hull and Jim Crawley.
These men are getting in toucn with
the spirit and aims of the Red Cross
and are going to neighboring com
munities to tell the Story of the Red
Cross and do what they can to build
up membership. They VIII also go
out to some Of the neighboring towns.

that an honorable man with an honor

Let every man stand upon his record

THE FLU.

One of the old fabulists tells of
a man who was trudging along the
highway leading into great city
when he met a pestileace coming out.
After the usual greetings, the man
remarked: "YOu certainly have done
your work we'll; you have killed most
Of the inhabitants of the city which
YOU have just left"
''You were wrong, friend" said the
pestilence, 81 did kill some people, but
most of them killed themselves by
welding to fear and panic"
Many scourges have done the same
thing. The present epidemic Of in
/ luenza is an exception. There has
/ been no panic, although the disease
carries off its victims as fast as any
of its predecessors, some of them not
lasting "a hours after being attacked.
! But people do not fear II as they did
yellow fever or the cholera. No ef-
I fort was made to run away from II.
One potent reason for this was be-

FLU TAKES TOLL OF MILLIONS
BY RECENT EPIDEMIC

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Spanish
influenza epidemic which swept this
country during the autumn "stole"
millions of the best years of life from
American manhood and womanhood,
Henry Moir, an insurance authority of
this city, declared here.
The average economic loss of active
life in each case of death from the
malady of its aftermath was at least
% years, said Mr.. Moir, emphasizing
the peculiarity of the epidemic, which
found most of its victims under 30
years Of age, as compared with the
average life of 55 and 60 years of per-
sons insured in well-established com
panies.
Addressing the Association of Life
Insurance President, Mr.. Moir. who is
president of the Acturial Society Of
America, described how the epidemic
had dislocated the standard mortality
experience of the insurance companies
in the past Is years. With no pesti-
lence taking toll of lives in the United
States and Canada during that perioC
he said, the standards Of health of per
sons under so were found to be much
better than at any recorded time il
