washington. April 20.

WetninKtOns april ~.
Gsrmanys submarine menace will be
wiped out by August, and perhaps by
June. according 20 predictions made by
navy officers commenting on the boast OF
Vice Admiral Won capello that U-boat
construction is exceeding losses

Department there was no hesitancy in in
adicating that America is already main
tainlng a vast number Of men in France
and has right now in the transport serv.
ice more than 1000, 900 tons deadweight
of shipping in service, all Of it under
the American flag.
Moreover, Il was authoritatively
learned there is in prospect an addi-
ltional million tons soon to be added
Ito the transatlantic service.
z According to the rate of destruction
Of submarines known 10 the British Ad-
amiralty and to officials of this Govern
ment, the submarine is certain to dis
appear as military factor this summer.

The German vice admiral did not mem
tion that the Allies have been destroy
ing submarines faster than Germany
can build them"
Americas transatlantic tonnage, ship
ping board offlcisls said, is considerably
less than half of her total tonnage in all
service, which amounts to 5,444,97S
deadweight tons.
( Despite the vaunting passages in Won
Capelle's address that speaks OF L.
boat commanders so well trained that
, they manage TO sink from three to
four ships in succession belonging TO
the same convoy" America has lost
j since the war began only fourteen ves-
sells, aggregating $4,000 tons.
No Transports Lost
The statement that C-boat com-
manderS are specially skilled in sink
ing ships IN convoy was ridiculed. Ref
erence was made TO the fact that not a
single American transport has been lost
going over. f
Won Capelle is quoted as telling tho
Reichstag that Americas production for
1917 was only 10000 gross tons. The
official figures % the United states ship
ping board show that Americas ship
yards last year produced cargo carriers
OF approximately 100000 tons dead
weight exclusive Of the navy program,
This figure is compared to the record
OF German U-boats for four years, which
decreased the worlds total tonnage, ac-
cording to Sir Eric Goddess recent
statement, only 100000 tons.
The total neutral and Allied tonnage
10 now approximately 42.00O,000 tons
and the 1918 output is estimated at

and would not come within 2.243,000

HOoVER's NEW REQUEST

One request comes from Washing.

expecting will cause them to buy more
than twenty-five thousand lead pencils
and throw away their menu cards.
The request expected from Washlhgr
ton is that, in the interest of food
conservation, persons eating In hotel
restaurants and dining rooms be re-
uuired to write their orders instead
Of giving them orally, and that bills
of fare be not placed before the din.
ers, but that the person ordering the
meals be required to ask for each ar
ticle Of food wanted.
The Food Administration has al
ready expressed the belief that If q
person is forced TO write what he
wishes to eat he will order less. The
Administration also has suggested
that hotels stop serving table d'hote
meals
1t also has made known again that
40 Jurisdiction is maintained over the
price of foods. but that 1t will expect
all hotels to obey the spirit OF the
times and charge the lowest prices
that 1t possibly can charge.

Helps Red Gross Too.

A Red Cross Pig Club-the first
one in the United Stales-will send
to the St. Louis market in September
5000 hogs from Carroll County,
Miss. This will mean more pork for
the country, more money for Carroll
County and a contribution estimated
at $4,000 to the Red Cross. The
Red Cross Pig Club was organized
last winter by O. f. Turner, county
agent in Carroll County. He started
out to combine pork production and
Red Cross work and tried to get $500
people each to raise one pig to be
known as Red Cross pig. Instead
of 2, 5000 members he got 5000 in a
county that has only 1000 voters.
Every banker, lawyer, minister, ply
sician and nearly every merchant in
the county is a member. The pigs
are weighed on the last Saturday of
each month and a $25 registered pig
is given as a prize to the member
whose pig makes the greatest gain
through each month. Five hundred
negroes are also members.

the Food Administration shows how

able than can the operation orders OF
generals at the front. The latest an.
nouncement from Herbert Hoover
says:
THE public will realize that the
changing conditions of production
from season to season, the changing
situation in shipping and, therefore,
of the markets available to the Allies,
and the increasing demand for our
growing army, with the fiuctuating
supply of local beef In France, all
make 1t impossible to determine poll
cies for long period in advance. We
have recently asked for economy in
all meat consumption; we wish now
to emphasize further reduction OF
beef by the substitution of pork. 1t
Is anticipated that this program viii
hold good until September 15, and
the cooperation of the public is most
earnestly requested"
The demand for beef for our army
and the allies for this summer Is be-
yond our present supplies. Therefore.
a more limited beef allowance Is i'm
perative until an ample overseas sup
ply is assured
Householders are requested not
"under any circumstances" to buy
more than one and one,quarter pounds
OF clear beef weekly, or one and one
half pounds, including the bone, for

This is very painful and dangerous

OUR BUSINESS is WAR

The call grows louder daily Every

to us At terrible cost England and
France hold the western front If
only we had a million fighting men
there to help them!
We must send that million and
millions more. Only by overwhelm-
ing force from America can the Ger
man power be crushed Only by force
fed by such sacrifice and devotion
as America has not yet dreamed of
We mpsl get in this war to the
limit. We must speedily build an
army of five million men We must
be ready to make it ten million if
necessary. We must hurry the ships
We must command the air We must
build guns, more guns, and still more
guns.
War must be our one business Ev-
erything else must be subordinate.
There is no trouble to get the men.

VOTE THE INCREASE

There are two reasons why the
taxpayers should vote for the increas-
ed levy in the special election to be
held in the city tomorrow. The first
is that the teachers are entitled to
higher salaries by every considera'
ton Of right and the second is that
Chickasha needs the teachers With
out spending more money we cannot
hope to keep good teachers here when
other places are offering higher wa
ges and when other professions are
appealing to them. Under the cir
cumstances, it would be the height of
folly for the citizens of Chickasha to
refuse to approve the increased levy
and it would be a blow which would
be bound to affect our public school
system disastrously.

those lines will hold, and thank God,
that Americas valor is now asserting
itself upon that front
Il believe that the American flag,
the banner of liberty and freedom,
upon which one year ago, we embla,
2oned the messages that the world
shall be made safe for democracy,
will triumph, and | believe that when
that has been accomplished by our
gallant soldiers and sailors with the
help of you men and women and
children of America, that once again
there shall be peace in the world, the
peace and decency and civilization
and the peace of righteousness.
But the peace of the world can
never again be secured until the
whole German ideal is destroyed.
That ideal is a repulsiye and impos-
sible ideal if civilization is going to
go backward, then it ought to be re-
allied But I don't believe that we
are going into the Dark Ages again.
We may go through the valley OF
the shadow until we get victory, but
as there is a God in heaven, and as
long as America has a soul, we will
have that victoryl
