TO CRUSH U-B0AT EVIL
American Navy Officials Are Con-
fdent the Effective Weapons Are
Forthcoming.

American naval officials appear ~ be
satisfied that the weapons with which
they expect to crush finally the sub
marine menace are forthcoming. In
creased numbers Of patrol vessels of
various types, appliances and devices to
make them more effective against un-
derwater craft and the increased skill
of Navy personnel are among the
things upon which they count. 1t has
taken time to devise and build the
weapons. but they are beginning to be-
come available now.
This country's real contribution to
the naval warfare is about to be felt.
With every passing week the strength
of the force will grow, for it is en-
bodied in the most extensive conStruc-
tion program ever undertaken for the
Navy of any power.
The new deStroyerS and other craft
must be added to the patrol fleets grad
ually as they are completed. There
fore no sudden falling off of tonnage
losses is to be expected 1t has been
stated publicly by high British naval
however, that next August
will show beyond question that the
U-boats have been overcome. There are
officials here who are hopeful that de
cided results will be apparent before

The long drawn out deathbed scene
of Russia. the division of the Muscovite
estate, while the rightful owner was still
alive. these circumstances have served to
create an atmosphere of depression in
all allied quarters and notably in the
United States, which serves German
end and has no sound basis in fact The
truth is that allied prospects al the
present moment are better than they
we're at the opening of the campaigns
of 1914. 1915 and 1916, and, despite the
superficial appearances, German chances
of a military triumph over all Germany S
foes are less than at any time in the
conflict
Two assertions are frequently heard
at this time. both calculated to i'm
press one with Germany's strength,
first. the declaration that the Germa n
food problem has been all but solved
by the Russian collapse. and, secondly,
that the same collapse has given Ger
many overwhelmingly numerical ad-
vantage on the west front. Neither is
true.

u. S. SALARY INCREASE
SCHEDULE UP TONIGHT

The schedule of increased salaries for
government workers will probably be made
up tonight at conference between the
subcommittee of the Legislative appro-
priation and the chairman and ranking
minority member of all the other depart
mental appropriations committees.
This action was decided upon today at
a special meeting of the subcommittee,
which held hearings on the proposed in
creases carried in the keatinS bill run
ming from ) to 80 per cent
The propositions considered today were
cent with the largest amount apportioned
to the government workers receiving the
smallest salary.
Proposals also were considered for
providing Hat increases. One estimate
was for fiat increases of $120 a year
and another one for $144, which would
be a S12 month increase.
1t is hoped by friends of the govern
ment workers who are behind this
measure that a decision can be reached
tonight by the conference. The bill
would then go to the legislative appro-
priation committee. The plan is to
nave the legislative committee report
out the salary increase bill as COM
mittee amendment to the Legislative ap-
propriation bill now under considera-

Mr.. Quattrone has sent this message

sales within the trade were forbidden
as being largely responsible for unrea-

Food Supply Problematical.

AS to the food supply, Germany Will,
uhquestionably. get food from Russia
this fall. probably not sooner. But will
she get enough to meet the needs of
her own population and those of Aus
tria. Bulgaria and Turkey? Proba bly,
not, because the problem of transport
is enormously difficult. We know that
GermanyS own railroad systems are
breaking down under the strain of
war. We know that shortage of coal
in German cities, due primarily to
transport difficulties. was u mark ed
detail Of the domestic history of last
winter.
Russia has limited stocks of food in
reserve. in certain districts. But there
is grave doubt as to the size of these
stocks and there is a growing SuS-
picion. confirmed by many warning
hints in German newspapers. that the
stocks viii prove wholly Inadequate
Much of Russia is starving. all Rus
sian railroad transport is in state
OF anarchy and in condition of ruin.
Actually it is by no means an exag-
geration to calculate that despite Incl
dental relief, the great food problem Of
the central powers cannot be solved by
Russian exports before the autumn of
1919, which means that Germany must
live through another winter of ex-
treme priVation.
