Admits some Reverses.

Germany's opponents had some success
with their anti-submar measures. hut
he declared this success at no time had
any decisive influence on the C-boat
war. and according 10 human reckoning
would not in tine future.
The convoy system. which IL was tue
offered ships a certain protection had on
the other hand the great disadvantage
Of reducing the transport caps bil!tics Of
the Allies.
The German commanders were spe-
cially trained for attacking conveys and
not "A day passed but one or more ships
were struck out OF them. Experienced
commanders managed TO sink from
three to four ships in succession belong
ing to the same convoy.
Admiral Won Capc!le declared that the
new C-boat construction had increased
both Quantitatively and quaiitatively
and added:
Race Against BuildinR.
We can also continue absolutely to
reckon on the military achievements,
hitherto attained. Whether Lloyd
George can continue the naval war with

skill but on the position OF the C-boats

He then entered into details OH the
worlds shipbuilding for the decade pre-
ceding the war. and contended that the
new construction Of the United States
and Japan to certain extent was
needed for their own necessity. Hence
only the figures OF British shipbuildinR
could come into the question.
Speaking with reference to shipbuild-

miral Won Capelle said that In the middle
OF 1917 there was talk Of 5000. 900 tons

A Bit Of Advice
First--DOn't Delay. Secnnd-DOInt
 Experiment..

If you suffer from backache; headaches or dizzy spells; If you rest poorly and are languid in the morning; if the kidney secretions are irregular and unnatural in ap- nearance, do not delay. In such cases the kidneys often need help.
 Doans Kidney Pills are especially prepared for kidney trouble-they are recommended by thousands. Read the following interesting statement.
 Mrs. NJ. E. Gagen, 1O13-A Flori- da St, San Francisco, Cal, says: ''I had dropsy and other kidney trouble and was miserable. My back couldn't have given me any mere misery if I had broken it. My kidneys were weak and my feet, ankles and hands became swollen, as a result. I felt so miserable, run down and depressed I was discouraged. I could hardly bend over because my back hurt me so much. Doan's soon strengthened anG regulated my kidneys. The swelling went away and I was again well and had all my former strength"

this war will determine not merely international relations, but Will affect the lives of peoples WITHIN THEIR OWN NATIONS, for genera t:ops to come; that this war is to end ill international democracy" 1. e.. ir liberty. equality, end fraterni- ty. BETWEEN nations, great and sm.u. General Smuts, formerly soldier against Great Britain in South Africa, says that the essence of this war is the question whether governments should be founded on military might or on principles of equity, justice, fairness and equali- ty."
 Various writers have depicted this war as a TEST Of democracy. to de termiue whether democracy can ad- jusl itSelt to an emergency so that by sheer efficiency it shall at least equal the efficiency Of q military aufocracy, and assert that on this ground alone the future government of all the nations of the world is at stake. Will Crooks, the British labor leader, says that the British wo kmau knows that this war 'is Ia peoples war. We are all in it, the man at the village pump and in the fields, the blacksmith, the car 9enter and joiner, the shipwright and the man of leisure. We are sanding together BECAUSE, WE ARE FIGHTING FOR LIBERTY"
 Yes, this war is one in which ideals of government, of indiyidu- ai liberty, of civilization itself are i1 conflict. Democracy is lined up against autocracy. The war is in absolute fact a war Of ideals But We are NOT fighting to IMPOSE our ideals upon any nation. What We are fighting for, in making the world safe for democracy" is to PREVENT 4 MILITARY AUTO CRACY FROM IMPOSING ITS ALL THORITY AND ITS IDEALS UP ON US. We are ready to keep on m'pdmg our own business and to lot ether nations do the same. A military autocracy that proposes to conquer the world MUST be defeat cd 10 the point where it renounces meddling with other nations, great or small, or there is no peace in ths world. That is the issue at stake and in it rests our safety and the safety of the world.

IL IS commonly said that this war is one ill which America was forced to take part in order to make the world safe for democracy" What dors the phrase mean?
 The theories end acts of the Ger man military autOcracy definitely deny the right of the people to rule themselves. The German PEOPLE, in spite or forms Of government that make q pretense of popular con- trol, have no such actual coutro. over their governors as exists III eamocratically organized n&tOus. In those nations the governors CAN BE REMOVED by a vote Of the people in general election; in Germany the people have not this power.
 The arttstocracy of Germany un- derstand this difference, and are atr~id of the spread Of democracy in Germany. The whole, much-ad- mired efficiency" of Germany is primarily due to q desperate and constant effort by Germany's rulers to divert the German people from thoughts Of self-gOyernment, by offering them material prosperity. And the rulers have succeeded. One Of the causes of this war was the ne cessity, by still further glorious acquisitions of territory" to hush ue murmurings of political discou- ter f in Germany.
