DEPARTMENTS STATEMENT

The departments statement regard ing the departure of the submarines said
 The navy department has received dispatch from Admiral Sims stating that five German submarines" manned by American crews, will leave for the United States tomorrow, March 29. The United States steamship Bushnell which was tender to our ships in British Wa ter,s will accompany them.
 "The five submarines which are being brought over for the double purpose of giving the United States naval experts a chance to study them and principal ly, for exhibition in American ports during the Lib erty Loan drive, repre- sent four different types of the Ger man undersea boats. Tn addition, it is expected that one of the big cruiser submarines, one of the gun fighters. will be secured later.
 "One of the five is the U-117, one of the big ocean mine layers which is making a return trip to American wa ters as this is one of the submarines which planted mines along our coast last year. Two of them are the UB-SS au0 the UB-14S types of the small UBoats. The UC-97 is one of the small mine layers, while the U-111 is a regu- lation German U-boat.
 Tt is not expected that in view of the weather conditions the prevailing western winds and the difficulties of running boats with unfamiliar machin- cry. that they will arrive much be- fore the latter part of April. Plans for the disposition after reaching Ameri- can waters will be decided as soon as complete details as to the draft, etc, have been received from Admiral Sims"

 Adverse winds, at this time of season and unfamiliarity of the American crews with the machinery make the date of the arrival of the ships uncer- tain.

Mass, to Mr.. Adams. WHO was then
representing the colonies as joint
commissioner at the court of France.
as follows:
4 BLUSH whilst | give you a price
current, all butchers meat from a
dollar to eight shiliirgs per pound;
corn twenty-five dollars, rye thirty,
per bushol. flour, fifty pounds per
hundred; potatoes. ten dollars per
bLshel; butter twelve sh1llings a
pound; cheese eight; sugar twelve
.shillines a pound; molcsses twelve
dollars per gallon; labor six and
eight dollars a day; common COW,
from sixty to seventy pounds and
ali English goods in proportion. This
is our present situation
That the situation rapidly became
worse is shown by Gnother letter to
her husband dated June s, 1879, in
which she quotes the following
prices:
Corn is sold at four dollars. hard
money, per bushel. which is equal to
eighty at the rate of exchange. La
hor is at eight dollars per day, and
in three weeks it will be twelve, it
is probable. or it will be more stable
than anything else, Goods of all
Ii In g
hardly dare mention it. Linens are
sold at twelve dollars per yard; the
most ordinary sort of calicoes at
thirty and forty; broadcloth at forty
pounds per yard; West India goods
full as high; molasses at twenty dol
lars per gallon; sugar four dollars
per pound; tohea tea at forty dol
lars; and our own produce in proper
ton. Butchers meat at six and
eight shillings per pound board at
fifty and sixty dollars per week.
Outrageous as the above prices
seem the worst was yet to come, for
under date of October 10, 1880, she
wrote
You tell me to send you prices
current. I will aim at it. Corn is
now thirty pounds, rye twenty
seven, per bushel Flour, from a
hundred and forty to hundred and
thirty per hundred Beef, eight dol
lars per pound; mutton, nine; lamb,
SIX. seven and eight Butter twelve
dollars per pound; cheese, ten.
Sleeps wool thirty dollars per
pound; flax, twenty West India ar
ticles; sugar from hundred and
seventy to two hundred pounds per
hundred; molasses, forty-eight dol
lars per gallon; tea, ninety; coffee,
/ twelve; cotton wool thirty per
pound Exchange from seventy to
seyenty-fiye for hard money"
The greatest consolation to be de-
rived from these records of early
days lies in the fact that our an.
cestors weathered the high cost OF
living and that prices adjusted them
selves and fell back to normal.

higher than the old ones. No doubt
the raise is justified by the Increased
cost of operating expenses and main
tenance and no valid objections can
be raised if the efficiency of the
service is CORRESPONDENCE improved,
II the service is not to be improved,
the people will be justified in reg
istering a vigorous protest against
paying higher rates.
The Herald has always believed
that a bad mistake was made when
the Pacific Co. was forced to retire
from Pullman. The slightly lower
rates offered by the local company
never began to compensate for the
less efficient service rendered by it
and those rates were increased soon
after it had the field to itself. But
there is no use in crying over spilled
milk. The only thing to do is TO
make the best of the present situa-
ton Manifestly the plant cannot
be maintained and the service inn
proved if the revenue does not equal
the expenses of operation. The peo-
PIE should cooperate with, rather
than obstruct the efforts of the
company to become self sustaining,
but they have the right to demand
and insist upon getting full value
for their money, in the quality of
the service rendered.

MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial day will be observed this
year with more than usual solemnity,
because of the largely increased mum
Der of those in honor of whose mem
DRY it is set apart. During the past
l ? months hundreds of thousands of
young meh have Baid down their
lives in the service OF their country
and there is probably no community
in the United States which is not
still mourning the loss of one or
more Of the young soldiers who went
forth from it to battle for democracy.
In the past. May 80 has had a
deep significance to the veterans OF
the civil and the Spanish-American
wars and the surviving members of
their families but it has meant little
to the younger generation, except
as an opportunity for recreation and
sports Now for the first time they
too appreciate what it means to
grieve for n loved relative or friend
or comrade who sacrificed his life
for them, and how tender and sacred
are the associations of the day des-
lenated as the one on which to dec
crate with flowers the graves of the
heroes who risked their all that this
nation might live, Every citizen
should delight to join in the tribute
to the memory of these men whether
they sleep where they fell in UNI
marked graves on the battlefieds of
the sunny south, beneath the waving
poppies of Flanders, in the great ma
tional cemeteries or under the sod
OF the burying grounds of the VIII
lagos and hamlets where they lived
and loved and died, after returning
from their great adventure.
The custom which has prevailed
during recent years in many com
munities of regarding May 80 as a
day for sports and amusements and
money making is little short of sacri-
ligious, an insult to our fallen sol
diers and an affront to their surviv-
ing comrades. 1t is shameful that we
should care more for our dollars and
our diversions than we do for our
dead.
The spirit in which Memorial day
should be observed is one of reyerent
gratitude and the relatives and
friends OF the boys who made the
supreme sacrifice in the recent war
should now join with comrades and
relatives Of those who fell in former
wars. in demanding state and ma
-@nal legislation prohibiting the
dissertation of May 30 by those who
are too selfish and thoughtless to
appreciate its significa gee. sacred
hess and tender memories.
