The Visit of the U-Boats

The raid of German submersbes along the
Atlantic coast failed dismally in its purpose OF
terrorizing the country if this is the correct in
depreciation to be placed on their visit. No
transatlantic liners were torpedoed and no troop
transports fell prey to the underwater murder
erS.
The country has been expecting this raid for
many months. The first report admittedly was
somewhat of surprise, but the country soon set
tied down to a recognition of the fact that raids
of this kind could be expected and that the mill
tary damage done by the U-boat murderers was
insignificant Reports so far indicate that no
major damage was done and that instead OF ter
rorizing the people Of the United States it mere
ly became an incentive to greater war effort and
sacrifice. Financial circles seemingly were
merely bored and not alarmed by the news, for
Wall Street did not record panic.
U-boat assassins operating thousands OF miles
from their base can inflct very little damage. II
some of our southern neighbors had been base
enough to permit Germany to establish sub
marine base at our back door, there would have
been some ground for alarm. Until we learn OF
a submarine base in the southern waters or in
some isolated bay from which U-boats can out
fit there is no cause for alarm. flotila of sub
marines that must cross the Atlantic for supplies
is very ineffective weapon.
The real menace to the Allies lies in the tor
pedoing of American transports and of tankers.
The Allies need all the reserves we can transport
and their fleets and our own naval units need the
oil which is being sent from the Mexican fields.
If there is serious interruption in the transpor-
tation of soldiers oil, the submarine in Ameri-
can waters will! have accomplished it's purpose.
So far, there is nothing to indicate real source
for worry.

TROUBLES

Pack up your troubles in the old kit
bag and then throw the bag away.
Styles in troubles change so rapidly
that it really isn't any use to keep
them about very long. Your particu-
lar trouble is out Of style as soon as
you pick up the next edition of the
paper.
We are getting to the point where
small things don't worry US any more.
Remember how troubled you used
to be when the chicken was little
tougher than it should have been, or
when the eighteen-pound larded roast
was not just up to the handle?
And when the garbage man was late,
or when there was leak in the kitch-
en- sink-fow troubled we used to be.
We thought the world and everything
in it were consDiring against US.
But nowadays they can shoot trouble
at us with a seventy-mile gun and we
catch it and toss it back.
This war is doing something for us.
Women have been drawn into the
loneliest occupation in the world-that
of herding sheep.-Cheyenne Dispatch.
Next to the loneliest, please. The
loneliest occupation is that of sitting
away out in a Long Island country
house writing the lyrics for Broad
way show and seeing no one for six
weeks but the garbage man.

Topics Of The Times

To suffrage Yr not to suffrage is the
question in congress today.
What's the difference whether an al
he'd language is sung in grand opera or
used in a prayer?
God help the bulgarian whose legs
are shorter than the Serb pursuing
him.
The kaiser will have a hard job
making satisfactory explanation TO the
Turks why Mitteleuropa stock can't
pay dividends.
Anyway Hindenhurs hasn't lost his
voice. He is still able to proclaim
proclamations. But that proclamation
stuff is easy.
The Turks had lovely time killing
Armenians with the help Of Germany.
But the difference between Serbs and
Armenians seems to he distinct and
lack enjoyable features.
II wages are stabilized prices must
be stabilized also. The one leans
against the other.
