Nort,least of St. Quentin the British / have advanced more than five miles eastward from the front line linden burg positions.
 Cambrai has not yet been occupied, but the British hold the important heights south of the town. The French have entered St. Quentin in Flanders. Ns&

e TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS. Q aoooo0 . . Q . 9 g . . Q 2

For the benefit of those of our sub scribers who did not read the an- nouncement printed in the lndepend- ent few days ago, we will make an additional explanation with regard to the new government requirement. that subscriptions to daily newspa- pers be paid in advance.
 First. there is a great scarcity or news print paper. The paper that we have been allotted each month IS costing much more than formerly, and we feel lucky to have been able to escure the supply. The govern ment has taken over the prlnt paper industry, and has ordered that all delinquent subscribers pc stricken from the lists, and that all complimentary papers be stopped or nut on the paid-in-advance list.
 The Independent, in order to obey the government order, is asking read CTS of the daily to not only pay TOT
 
 September this month, but also to nav for the month of October. 1t IS going to be difficult for the collector to see everybody this month so we are asking that those who were away from home or away from tneir places of business when the collector called. to come to the office and make payment.
 This paper has been 100 per cent loyal and patriotic since it was 1irs' established and has torn it's shirt 1oi the government every day since the war started, and we intend to ooeS every request that is made, ana tns newspapers that fail to strive m eV cry way to conserve the news prln supply are not only doing the govern ment an injustice, but are working hardship on other publishers wh' would suffer- from wilful waste.

account of war exigencies.
Members Of this years naval acad-
envy class are fortunate youths. said
Secretary Daniels in his address, "be-
cause 1t Is given you to prove that
the age Of chivalry Is not dead-that
chtvalry was never more alive than
now. The hottest of the crusaders
was motived by no finer impulse than

prove that life means more than
force; to prove that principle is still
worth living for; to prove that free

Washington, June 6.-AttackS on
the navy department for permitting
submarines to sink American ships
off the Atlantic coast precipitated a
debate today in the senate.
The U-boat raids were not at
tempted, Senator Lewis declared, un-
til Germany was advised by mac
curate information that the Ameri-
can government was "honeycombed
with fraud and reeking with politics
and corruption; that the United
States had no army or navy, and
that we had fallen down in every
undertaking"
''These charges" he said. induced
Germany to believe that we could
not defend our own country"
he had not mentioned the Republican
Senator Nelson of Minnesota, Re
publican, sharply interjected:
Does the senator think he can
stop the German submarines by
making an assault on the Republican
party" Senator Lewis replied that
he had not mentioned the Republican
party and that the charges against
that organization would be untruth-
full. He added, however, that many
charges of unpre paredness had come
from individuals in public and Off
cial life as well as in private life.
With apparent feeling, Senator
Lodge OF Massachusetts,, Republican,
said:
Nothing has so stimulated and
invited Germany as the loose brags
and boasts about the number Of
troops we are transporting to France.
Germany was not invited here by
attacks upon the navy because there

continued, "have necessarily anttci-

beginning Of the war. They have
had it constnatly in mind. They have
tried to take every preCaution to
meet it. I think they have"
The navys activities cannot be

tor Lodge said, declaring no one can
tell where a submarine will strike.
Citing the fighting of the British
navy for years against submarines,
Senator Lodge said that with Ameri-
can assistance, "a larger control Of
the submarine menace had been
established on what might be termed
the naval front"
THAT control is succeeding" he
said, more than any Of US dared to
hope. 1t is done by multiplication
Of ships and OF methods"
THAT the defense will be effective,

tor Lodge.
Possibility OF a submarine base in
the western hemisphere seems re-
mote" said Senator Lodge, pointing
out the difficulty Of getting mother
