Falmouth, England, Dec. 22.-(Cor-

Two German submarines were sunk

ships of the war now exhibited
here. This craft was one of the first.

Failure of the mystery ship to re-
turn fire at once baffled the German
officers. They were quiet for Is min

the submarine came sufficiently close
and was In good position abeam, the
concealed guns of the sailing ship
were brought into play and landed
six mortal hits on the submarine
which was unable to fire an addi-
tional she'll Just three minutes after
the first hit, the submarine was
blown up by shot which holed II
just below the foredeck and caused
an explosion which threw a vast
column of water high into the air.
Later the same day another Ger
man submarine approached the Mary
B. Mitchell and opened fire at a
distance of about two miles. After
the sixth round the mystery ship
was stopped and boat put off
To all appearances, the craft was
abandoned. The submarine approach

time and suddenly rose to the sur

Sailors at the Great Lakes Train

camp motto, a ten days furlough
being promised the one who submit

ones were offered, but so far the
winning motto has not been announc-

sailor boys:

FOR COLDS and GRIPPE
DOCTORS FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elat-
ed over the fact that they have at
last found a genuine and dependable
remedy for colds, sore throat and la
grippe. For years they have depend
ed chiefly upon the old style calomel
which is certainly fine. but unfortun-
ately many people would not take
1t because of its nauseating and
dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected a nausealess Gallo
mel, called "Calotabs" whose medical
virtues are vastly improved. the doc
tors and druggists are claiming that
Calotabs are the ideal remedy to
abort a cold over night and cut short
an attack of la grippe. They are
also finding 1t most effective as the
first step In the treatment OF pneu-
monia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow of water,-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
or your work and pleasure. The next
morning your cold has vanished and
your whole system is purified and re-
freshed. Calotabs are sold only in
original sealed packages; price thir-
ty-five cents. Your druggist recon-
mends and guarantees them by re-
funding the price If you are not de-
lighted-adv.

The official report does not say
that the Mary B. Mitchell was filled
with wood to keep her from sinking,
but this was doubtless the case, as
other mystery ship were so equipped
and were able to float in spite Of
any damage inflicted on them by
torpedoes and shells. Their guns
were frequently hidden behind doors
in the sides of the ship which could

Trade With the Enemy

1t will be remembered that ''trading
with Sthe enemy" was lawfully resumed
by the civilized nations on July 12, 1919.
On that date, the German Assembly
having ratified the treaty of peace
signed at Versailles, the great council
of five, representing the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan,
lifted the historic blockade.
Commercial agents are entering Ger
many from all directions to make re-
ciprocal trade arrangements. Cargoes
of raw materials that had been waiting
only for the word Of release are already
on their way to German ports. Peace
has not been proclaimed, but trade has
begun.
The haste Of American and Allied
traders to reestablish commercial rela-
tions with the Teuton, and the anxiety of
the Teuton to reciprocate, with the fate
of the late Kaiser's head still undecided,
may seem gross and ugly to the tender
minded; but if trade is to be resumed at
all the manner of its happening is in
evitable Business is quick and COM
petitive.
The important matter is to know
whether defeat in war has taught the
Germans how to trade on fair and decent
terms-how to distinguish, that is to
say, between competition and conspiracy,
between battle and murder. Their code
of war was perfect sublimation Of their
business code-Prussian, ruthless and
oblivious. And it would be so, only it
had never occurred to the world to make
that ominous deduction.
This is something for Germany to pom
der. She is readmitted to commercial re-
lations with much wiser world than the
one she fooled so long 1t has learned
that a nation cannot live by one code and
trade by another. AS people are SO
they trade.
Trade with Germany may be warfare
again, as it was, or it may in time be-
come civilized. That is for her to saw,
New-York tribune., 1919-07-14

what wasn't successfully hidden was the
decentralization Of the personnel of the
German navy, caused by the constant
drafting Of men for submarine work.
The sailors began to look on the U-boats
as submerged coffins. They rose in mu-
tiny in the summer of 1917, and Admiral
Won Scheer says that his plan for an at
tack on the Allied fleet in the fall of
1918 was frustrated by a similar mutiny.
The submarine warfare thus completely
destroyed the morale of the German sur
face navy
The revelation of German losses
throws new light on the problem of
the submarines offensive value. The
U-boat was a nightmare for a time.
But devices have been developed to re-
ducc it's terrors. AS things stand, all
naval policy is in state of fiux. The
future is confused. The peace con-
ference didn't outlaw the submarine
And it is safe to say that the airship now
carries q greater potentiality Of military
frightfulness than the submarine.

Finance in Detroit

Perhaps nothing in this world could
have broken Henry Ford's lifelong feud
with bankers and bring him to seek
their aid but his own desire to be rid of
his minority stockholders. His problem
first was how to make them sell out.
The more prosperous he made the busi-
ness the more valuable their shares be-
came. At last he appears to have hit
upon an old trick of high finance. 1t is
something one no longer does, not even
in Wall Street. He loudly threatened
to set up ruinous competition. He would
make car to undersell the Ford and
flood the continents with it. Evidently
his partners were terrified into making
terms. There was a period Of silence.
Now it is announced that he has bor-
rowed $75,000,O00 from syndicate of
bankers to buy out the minority share
holders, and Edsel Ford, the son, says
blandly: "Of course, there will now be
no need of a new company to build a
cheaper car, as was planned"
Of course not.

German U-Boat Losses

German U-boat losses were vigorously
concealed during the war. The Allied
governments were also wary about pub
fishing estimates of U-boat sinkings,
since in the nature of the case it was
difficult to establish the fact that a sub,
marine, supposed to have been disposed
Of by a depth bomb, was actually de-
stroyed.
Figures which recently appeared in
Berlin show that the German submarine
losses were startlingly high. One hun
