LONDON, Sept. 27.-The war against
tho submarines attracts less attention
than it deserves, because tho public in
terest is centred Oh the fighting or
land. Tho August figures on shipping
losses are calculated to arouse undue
optimism. Although the possibility of
Allied defeat through this weapon Of
the Huns is past, it is still Il powerful
factor in the war and may be the
means of postponing victory.
That the Germans are dissatisfied
with their submarine campaign Is
proven by the fact that Won Capcllc' 5
tenure as Naval Secretary ia sbout
ended, his successor being Admiral Won
belrucke, who is younger and lead
ing advocate of unlimited U-hoat war

activity. During the fall the enemy
Will undoubtedly attemnt to raise A.
lled tonnage losses by torpodoes md
mines both for political and military
reasons.
German shipyards are now concan-
'ratlng upon tho building of large sub
marines and the output of these long
DISTANCE O-boats has been increased
considerably. Heartening ns tho Au-
gust figures compared with the gan,e
month in 1917 may he, it is we'll to re-
member: first. that over 5oo o0n
Americans are NOW in Europe who were
Ao1 mere year ago, and that practi
caily all their supplies came across the
Atlantic; second. that the war has
eAacted heavy toll from the British
shlpyards and their efficiency must
necessarily be reduced; third that the
STRAIN on the Allied ships has lasted
hfty munths, and, fourth, that Brirain's
1u1urc depends upon her ships.
Ii thn Germans We're cleared from
ths helglum coast, the shipping prob
lem would be improved materially. The
naval attacks on Ostend and Zee
bruggn achieved fine results and the
continual bombing of these ports and

Walking Sticks and Canes.

At one time the general use of canes
or walking sticks was forbidden in
Rome by imperial edict, except to per-
sons of patrician rank. thus making it
a privilege which anne to be popular
among the nobility and eventually a
distinction The women of that time
carried them also, their richly and ar
t~istically decorated canes serving rs a
rod for punishment of their slaves.
The cane appeared in England as
the badge of ~aristocracy in about the
fifth century, but after serving this
purpose for some time came into the
hands of the humber classes and Yves
dropped by those of higher social
standing. 1t was re-established in it's
true form by the pilgrims and soldiers
returning from the Holy Land during
the Crusades. and soon came into pop
ularity again.

Why Paper Turns Yellow With AGE.

1t Is a well-knOwn fact that paper
exposed to light will become yellow
ish within a comparatively short time ;
and even when kept in storage where
light does not reach it, it will undergo
gradual deterioration. Investigations
by Doctor Klemm demonstrated that
these changes are due mainly to the
presence in the paper of mechanical
wood-pulp or lignified fiber, although
they are met with also in paper col
Ored with dyes that fade under ex-
posture to light. In wOOd-free papers
the fading is found to be due to a for
nation of soaplike compounds Of iron
with rosin and fatty substances. The
greater the amount of these COM
pounds present. the more marked the
following of the paper. A mixture of
ether two parts) and alcohol Zone

West End


One of the biggest shipments
that has been made in late months
by the West End Consolidated Min
ing company went forward to the
shelters on the Pacific coast last
Monday. AS a result of the final
cleanup at the West End mill, 80
bars of bullion we're produced, the
weight of the bars being $3.50
ounces. The estimated value of
the shipment is $75,S02.s0, which
compares very favorably with the
shipment that was made after the
initial cleanup at the mill in Octo-
Der, the prior shipment having been
estimated to be worth $71,602.S0
With shipments aggregating nearly
s15O,0OO during October, and ex-
cellent prospects that the West
End mine, particularly that por-
ton of it known as the Ohio
ground, will be able to keep the
mill running to capacity for many
months to come, there is hardly
any question but that succeeding
months will prove that the pres
ent standard of operations and
scale of profits will be maintained
for an indefinitely prolonged per-
iod.
