ANOTHER GERMAN SCARE.

Failure of the U-boat campaign OF
ruthlessness and frightfulness "over
there" has been followed by desper-
ate and futile attempt to capitalize it
"over here"
For two months now it has been ap-
parent that the U-boat menace was di-
minishing daily. It's deadly toll has
not been collected with the appalling
frequency and enormity that first
characterized the submarine campaign.
Its efforts to sink the American trans
ports, have been dismal failure, only
one of the big ocean liners being
reached and the loss of life in that oc-
currence being comparatively light
Just as the institution of a daily
long-range bombardment of Paris was
a spectacular feat, executed more for
the psychological than the material
effect it would have, so was this raid
on American coast-wise traffic. Una
Bile to penetrate the superb defenses
which guard our transport system, the
Germans sought to paralyze our ship
ping by attacking when wholly unsus-
pected, the defenseless boats plying
along the seaboard. 1t was undoubted-
ly calculated that this would throw the
United States into a turmoil, produce
panic and decentralization, and literally
brighten the people of this country.
1t has no more scared the people
of the United States than the seventy
six mile bombardment of Paris has
intimated the heroic Frenchmen. On
the contrary, it has intensified our re-
sentiment against the Germans. 1t has
made us all the more determined to
conquer the atrocious Huns, who,
when in sportive humor, fire upon
life boats, in which women and child
rem are huddled. 1t has solidifed our
resolve to fight this war to the bitter
finish. If anything more were needed
to bring the war wildly home to us
and to impress upon every American
the fact that when we are fighting on
foreign soil three thousand miles
across the Atlantic we are protecting
our homes and our women folk more
than If the was was actually in prog
ress on this side, the U-boat onslaught
within our own territorial waters has
supplied it.
Fooled in the desire to commit sea
ravages of genuine consequence in our
home waters, the Germans turned, in
their rage, upon vessels of no military
value and sunk them. This, however,
has only served to emphasize Ger
1nany's desperation.
