Losses of allied and neutral mer-
chant shipping during July aggregated
313,O11 gross tons, an increase over
the month of June but a big decrease
from the losses of July, 1917. There
is nothing in the shipping situation to
change the opinion that the submarine
campaign is a fiat failure. Its out
breaks now are sporadic and more an
noying than serious. Among the neu-
trail nations that have suffered from
1t Spain is showing the most resent
ment, and last week It notified the
imperial German government that,
Spanish tonnage having been reduced
to the extreme limit, Spain will be
obliged, in case of new sinkings, to
substitute therefor German vessels in
termed in Spanish ports. At the same
time, the Spanish cabinet announced,
Spain will continue to observe neutral
ity. There Is a strong pro-German
element in Spain, and every hint of
a rupture of relations brings violent
protest from the pro-German press
there.

Germany's latest peace offensive,
consisting of speeches by leading men,
was opened by Doctor Solf, minister
of colonies, who devoted himself main
ly to blaming England for starting
the war" and attacking the British in
tention to retain the conquered Ger
man colonies. He also defended Ger
mans course in the near East, as
sorting that she was merely protect
ing the frontier peoples of Russia un-
til they are capable Of determining
their own national future. The
4zecha lSloyaks aea need as .1an ID
less robber bands. 'ihe expressed de-
termination Of the allied nations to
defeat the Germans on the battlefield
gives Doctor Solf great pain and
arouses his bitter anger.

With troops going across the Allan
tic at the rate Of about 250O00
month, with the new draft law about
to be put on its passage, and with
war industries well organized and
ready to operate full blast, the Amer
lean government is confronted with
serious shortage Of labor A million
workers are needed at once and the
administration intends that they shall
be provided for the concerns that are
making war materials, no matter what
happens to private business. Nones-
sential industries will be called on to
give up many of their men; all idlers
will be put to work. and women will
be used to release men for war work
that women cannot do. The emergen-
cy is one that must be met, and those
in authority propose to meet 1t in the
same spirit in which they have met
the need for a huge army of fighters.
"a
general feeling of satisfaction
pervaded the country when it was
announced that the 100 |. w. w. lead
ers on trial in Chicago for disloyalty
had been convicted. Next on the list
of alleged disloyalsts to be given a
dose of justice are five Socialists
Victor L. Berger, Adolph Germer, r.
win st. John Tucker, ]. Louis Engdahl
and William f. Kruse. The charges
against them are even more serious
than were those against the "Wob-
blies."
The house ways and means commit
tee nearly completed the draft of the
$S,000,000,000 revenue bill, but had
still to decide between two PROPOSE
lions for the excess profits tax. Ac-
cording to Chairman Kitchin these
were, first: An s per cent deduction
in addition to the $4,000 specific ex-
emption, with IS per cent tax on
profits between 5 and Is per cent; 30
per cent tax on profits between 10
and 20 per cent, and 70 per cent tax
on profits above 20 per cent, and, Sec
ond, the same exemption and ,deduc-
ton, with 40 per cent tax on profits
| between 8 and 20 per cent, and 10 per
cent tax on profits exceeding 20 per
cent.
The committee decided on a fiat 10
per cent deduction as minimum on
war profits. The proportion Of excess
| profits and war profits taxes will re-
main the same; that is, 80 per cent of
business will fall under the war prof
| its tax. 1t decided on fiat 10 per
cent minimum deduction for prewar
| earnings in computing the war profits
! tax.
| A provision affecting corporations
with swollen profits directs that any
| corporation whose capital exceeds ST.
100000 shall pay tax of at least 10
| per cent of its net income as excess
| profits.

FREE GARDEN LECTURES
INAUCURATED TODAY
First Of Series at S O'Clock Ihi:
Afternoon in Old Senate Chamber
7 OTHER LECTURES IN SERIES
War Time Warning Scarcity Of Seed
Garden Clubs to be Formed Here

With the recent zero Weather and
the deep snow one does not naturally
think OF gardens, but the Maryland
State College knows that spring is
coming and so do the seed catalogue
men. They are all planning to get
well ahead OF the season, the Agricul-
tural College authorities by giving to
Annapolis men and women the benefit
of series of eight garden lectures
by experts from the College, and the
sed men! Well, which of US has not
received in the last few days one Of
those wonderful pictures Of vegeta-
bles and the like of which was never
seen except within the covers of the
seed catalogue!
Fortunately most of us will lie sat-
isfied with vegetables a little less per-
feet than the pictured ones, but we do
want to know how to get fine vege
tables and lots of them from our gar
dens this year. Now is your chance
The seed catalogs of 1918 contain a
war time warning. Owing to the
scarcity of seed one should buy no
more seed than you are certain to
use, and one should order promptly
too.
Everyone who intends to have
garden next spring should therefore
attend these lectures of which the
first is given today at at the old
Senate Chamber Among other
things one can learn just how much
seed to buy and just what varieties
do best here
How about forming a garden club.
1t might help US to get seeds, ferti-
lizers, tools, etc, and to get our gar
dens plowed up at cheap rate by
the benefits of combination and CO.
