A DwINDLING MENACE

~ HE U-boat danger is not
VI past. The pirates may
still inflict damage on the
commerce of the allies and the
shipping of the neutral natl
ons. Vigilance and ingenuity
are still required to keep the
danger from becoming really
great. But the U-boat is no
longer to be reckoned with as
one of the important elements
of the world war.
England has not been starv-
ed, and will not be. The Unit
ed States has not been seriously
lhampered in transporting a
great army to France. Even
the neutral nations now suffer
far less severely than they did
in the heyday of German pi-
racy. The most striking recent
exploit of the pirates is the de-
struction of a few Norwegian
fishing boats in the remote
Arctic ocean.
It is with complete conf
dence that the world receives
Lloyd Georges statement that
the submarine is no longer to
be considered an important fac
tor in the war. The British
leader never speaks with un-
due confidence, is never buoyed
up by unwarrantable optim-
ism.
The blocking of the ports of
Zeebrugge and Ostend has
freed the English channel of
pirate lairs and the extraordi-
nary means of defense develop
ed by the allied navies have
made the outer oceans very un-
safe places for submarine acti-
vity. Now even the North sea
is being rid of the murderous
craft. Tirpitzism is a proved
failure.
All that remains to Germany
IS Hindenburgism. Her sole

NN<NITH the Germans in SO

BUSINESS of the battling
now underway is evident, even
though they have been unable
to cross the Marine. These are
anxious times and the people
would welcome news that the
Hun forces had been driven
back from such proximity to
the French capital. The time,
however, calls for calmness,
not for panic. 1t must be re-
membered that the Germans
are on the offensive and hence
have the opportunity to strike
where they may. By massing
forces quickly at any given
point they may achieve success
until sufficient reserves have
been brought up to check
them. A hopeful thing in the
recent fighting is that compar-
atively few of the allied troops
were engaged. Foch has been
holding his reserves to place
them where most vitality need
ed. It is to be assumed that as
the moves of the enemy become
known he will take effective
steps to counteract them.
Meanwhile Americas part is
to rush war preparations with
all speed. 1t is up to this coun-
try to turn the tide. The kaiser
evidently fears the growing
strength of the Yankee forces
and is rushing with all his
might to win if he can before
