U-BOAT WARFARE
BROUGHT OVER SEA
FoRLoRN HOPE OF GERMANY
TO DRAW HOME SOME OF
AMERICAN NAVAL FORCES.
Submarines Fail to Sink Transports
on Account of Convoy and Turn
Against the Defenceless
coastwise Ships.

hington.-Germany at last mas
brought her submarine warfare to the
shores of the United States, appar-
emily in a forlorn hope of striking
telling blows on this side of the At
lantic and of drawing home some OF
the American naval forces from the
war zones, where the U-boat menace
Is being slowly but surely strangled to
death.
In the attacks upon coasting vessels
almost in sight of the New Jersey shore
reported Monday, naval officials see
frantic admission from Berlin that the
submarine has failed. American armed
power is rolling overseas in ever-in-
creasing force, despite the utmost exer-
tions of the undersea pirates OH the
coasts of Europe.
Lurk for Days for Prey.
Now the raiders have crossed the sea
and lurked for days near Americas
greatest ports. They no doubt were
sent to sink transports, but here again
they failed. Blocked off the troop
ships by convoy craft, they have turned
in fury against defenseless coasters
In all the record of destruction they
have written, the raiding party has
struck at no vessels bound overseas
and therefore armed for fight. Only
ships that could not hit back have
been attacked The only one of half
score of vessels probably sent to the
bottom that had any real military
value in ship or cargo was an Oil
tanker.
Some Victims Aboard U-Boat.
The crews of some of the craft de-
stroyed have been brought into port,
with a story of eleven days imprison-
ment aboard an enemy submarine.
During that period, scores of troop
and supply ships have passed In and
out, on the business of crushing the
German army in France. The U-boat
found no weak link in the chain Of
armed craft that guarded them.
Secretary Daniels went to the capt.
toll Monday to tell members of the
house naval committee that the raid
was designed to brighten the American
people into demanding the return of
war vessels from the other side. He
gave assurance that congress need
have no apprehension as to protection
of the American coast and that there
will be no recall of forces from the
war zone.

SAW POINT OF RESEMBLANCE
Hardly Be Called Compli-
mentary One.

A fond auntie was left to amuse her
small niece and nephew while their
mother went shopping. James became
deeply interested in his toy engine and
tiny Ruth was absorbed in watching
auntie cut out beautiful paper dolls.
One of these appealed to her particu-
larly and she would scarcely wait for
auntie to finish.
"Oh, auntie, isn't she pretty? She's
blue"
'Yes, she is lovely. And see what
a fancy dress she has on. Look at her
long train"
The last word caught serious-mind-
ed James attention.
"Auntie, show me the train"
Auntie pointed to the deep flounce
which was set on with large plaits and
which was long enough at the back for
quite a sweep. James took it in his
hands and examined it closely and 81
lently for a few moments. Handing
it back, he said solemnly:
IL suppose you could call it a train.
1t looks something like cow-cateh-
err"

Woman Frozen to Ground.

During cold snap last winter
Mrs. John Baker of townsville took
a bucket of hot water and went into
the yard to clean the concrete pave
ment She splashed the water around
and used the broom vigorously, when
suddenly she realized she could not
move. She made determined efforts to
move her feet, and experienced fear
full cold chill as thoughts of paralysis
flashed into her mind. She screamed
loudly for help, and her husband, who
came running, found her shoes were
frozen to the pavement.
With vigorous Jerk he yanked her
loose. almost pulling her out of her
shoes. 1t was thankful wife he led
into the house to warm her feet.

LITTLE ONES WOULD INVENT
might Be a Good Thing for Children
II No Toys Could Be Bought
for Them.

'No toysi' exclaims the fond and
sympathetic mother. tragically. at the
mere mention Of the toy business be-
ing one of those in danger of being
abolished as unnecessary during war
time. oh. yes, little mother, there
would be toys-but they would not be
store toys. In fact, the children would
invent and make a great many of
them themselves. Dame Nature would
lend hand, and you could help bit,
tool There Is no doubt that children
must have toys Of some sort-lt Is
the very cry of their little souls. "Ne-
cessity is the mother of invention" so
with dire necessity staring them in
the face-a pressing demand with no
supply-they would begin to invent.
Moreover, being the work Of their own
little brains and hands, such toys
would more easily please. Simple
minded and contented types of chill
dren would once again be the rule, not
the exception. What has the nursery
piled high with the latest and most
expensive toys produced? Nothing
but that contradiction Of nature-the
child with nothing left to wish for!
What Is there to stimulate his brains
or his Imagination? Everything has
been thought out and imagined for
him. No wonder at the age of seven
or eight he finds life stupid" But
with nothing to play with would come
the wonderful idea of making some
thing.-Chicago News.

His Hat.


One night policeman found man
lying unconscious on the pavement as
result of brutal assault.
Near him lay common bowler hat.
Suspicious of certain person, the po-
lice arrested him. He was not able to
give an account Of his movements on
that evening; also the hat fitted him
like glove.
A clever lawyer pleaded his case so
impressively on the risk of accepting
hat as sufficient evidence that the jury
acquitted the prisoner, and he was dis
charged.
Before leaving the dock he turned

in the courtroom, said:
