j nay seem to the casual reader 1t
lis one of the steps which it is hoped
may thwart the German propaganda
tiI Mexico and defeat the sinister eG-
fort to align the republic south of
the Rio Grande against the United
states.
PRESIDENT Wilson openly recognized
his factor when he addressed the ed
l.s in private audience at the Unit
il States and then insistsed that his
+. oech should first be read by the
Mexican people before 1t was print
ct in the newspapers Of the United
states.
The stories Of German atrocities

,u officials in touch with Latin af-
'~irs. do not seriously disturb the
..,erage Mexican.
of course. the better classes, those
most highly educated, have the same
teeling regarding the treatment Of
Belgium as the rest of the civilized
world. but this elias sis comparatively
small. The greater part of the Mex
an rcople have seen so much horror
in recent revolutions that another hor-
or has little effect upon them.
The Germans in Mexico have per
sistently impressed upon the Ne ii
cans that German efficiency and
forehandedness, as we'll as German va
lor, are going to win the war. Every
slight victory is immensely magnified
when related to the MeXicans. an
example Of this was shown when the
pro- German press in Mexico reported
the sinking of sixteen American bat
Ileships off our coast recently hy u
Jats when, as a matter of fact, few
lasting vessels only were sunk.
The Mexican editors are sending
hack to their papers stories telling
mething of what the United States
FL doing to win the war These sto-
les cannot fail to impress the read
RS, .as the Mexican likes, above all,
:; winner. The visitors have seen
any things that very few Ameri-
ans have seen-the wonderful work
lo. our shipyards, munition plants and
j G gun works. They are more and
more impressed, not only with the
lct thar the United States is in the
war to win, but with the fact that
The Allies, with the help of the Unit
cd States, will surely win the war.
This is the message the Mexican
iitors are sending back to Mexico
aiiy-that Germany is doomed They
ully appreciate the fact thai the
trnitea States has not yet reached the
.aXimum of productiveness either OF
en- or materials and that r'lc oe-
termination of this country to make
ne world safe for democracy IS un-
nakable. And they realize thtat when
the war is over the United States

"This visit Of editors from our sis
ter republic is of supreme importance
at this time when the Germans ii

A DEMOCRATIC JOKE

The expectation that som strong man like United States District Court
Judge Thomas G. Haight on State Senator William Edwin Florance of Mid
dlesex might be agreed upon by the Democratic State Committee and the
Democratic State Auxiliary Committee as an additional candidate FOL n
Democratic United States Senatorial nomination turned many eager eyes
toward the gathering of the Democratic clan at Sea Grit last Saturday after
noon. The realization a very far below the expectation.
Judge Haight decided not to leave the bench for a contest for the nom-
nation. Senator F1orance, a warm friend of Congressman Sculy, who had
scored the slate1makers severely the other day and who had voiced his pro-
would have nothing to do with the proposition. Former State Senator Gourcy
likewise had important business outside of the United States Senatorial nom-
nation to engage his attention. Former State Comptroller Edward / Edwards
could not be induced to consider the subject under any circumstances.
President Wilson kept his hands off the conference.
In their extremity James r. Nugent and Secretary of State Martin,
upon whose shoulders fell the responsibility for the unhappy gathering, finally
saw they would have either to send the conferees home without any results at
all o. they would have to take up the only remaining material that seemed at
hand.
Nugent and Martin picked former State Senator James A C. johnson
Of Bergen for the long tenm nomination and Mayor Fred w. Donnely of
Trenton for the short term nomination, and the conference broke up in a
wrangle
1t is doubtful whether Donneny will eare to enter into a rough and
tumble fight for the nomination and stand the shafts that viii surely be hurled
that Donneny would have to pay for his fun Donnenys settler bottle ex-
peience with the Legislature would make fine campaign material for his
opponents. His recent charge against Principal Wezel does not seem to have
helped him, either.
As for former State Senator James A. c. johnson of Englewood, former
counsel for the New Jersey Hotel Mems Association and eager opponent of
local option at Trenton, il does not matter much whether he runs for the
nomination Or does not run. The johnson Donneny slate is a joke and nobody
knows this better than Nngent and Martin. 1t is a long way from Haight and
Florance to johnson and Donneny.
The contest for the Democratic United States Senatorial nomination is
still between Asembyman Alexander Simpson of Hudson and former State
Senator Charles 0Connor HennesSy Of Bergen. The cocktail and sltzer bot
tie ticket selected Saturday won't figure in the returns 1t all

INTRICATE WEAPON

Back of the torpedo is its fshshaped body, con-
tanning all the machinery to drive and steer after
1t has been launched. From forward aft we find
compartments as follows: compressed air res
ervoir, an immersion or balance chamber engine
space and buoyancy chamber. The tiny engine
is driven by compressed air which is compressed
to a high degree, and it rotates the propelers
whereby the projectile is carried through the
water The immersion or balance chamber pro-
vides the means Of maintaining the depth at which
the torpedo shall travel through the water after
being launched In the engine chamber there is
also the device for keeping the projectile to its
designated path during its travel This is
achieved by means Of a gyroscope. The buoyancy
chamber, which is placed aft of the engine cham
her. is virtually vacuum. Without this cham
