true we're whipped already
He bitterly attacked the war cab
met bill as being unnecessary.

U-BOAT FAILURE HURTS
WORSE THAN WEST FRONT

ZURICH. Sept. 16.-The failure of
the submarine campaign has caused
far greater concern in German milf
tary circles, 1t is said by well in
formed neutraIs here, than the col
lapse of the military plans in France.
The latter is regarded as an unfor-
tunate setback, such as much inevit>
ably occur in a long campaign, but
the arrival of hundreds of thousands
of troops and enormous quantities OF
foodstuffs in allied countries from
overseas is felt to represent the bank
duptcy of the unlimited submarine
