TRUTH ABOUT U-BoATS
Undersea Terror Less Formidable
Than Was Supposed.

Undersea Terror Less Formidable
Than Was Supposed.
The truth about the German failure
in submarine warfare is now being re-
vealed in publications that no longer
cringe under the whip Of an official
censorship that was without conscience
or honor. According to the Berlin
Vossische Zeitung, Germany lost 1873
submarines during the war, including
seven interned in foreign ports and IA
destroyed by their own crews. This
statement is an admission that III
were sunk by the Allies and lost at sea.
AS most of the U-boats carried as
many men as could be crowded into
them, the announcement that 5000
sailors were drowned in the sinking is
not surprising; but the darker tragedy
is that the conditions of service on
these vessels were so nerve-wrecking
that several thousand sailors lost their
reason and were committed t. insane
asylums. Here is an explanation of the
mutinous spirit that spread through
the High Sea Fleet and at last destroy
ed it's morale.
A final cast of fortune in a battle
with the Allied fleets could no more be
considered. The keenest and bravest
men we're being drafted to the subma-
rines, but as the CHASTITY truth of the
horrors Of the service became known
TO every common sailor men refused
to Join the U-boats, and in the end dis
cipline utterly failed at Kiel. The
navy, which had been the pride OF the
kaiser. was q service rotten to the core.
British officers have spoken contempt
uously of the spirit that surrendered
tha High Sea Fleet without striking a
blow, but there was no fight left in 1t.
If any other navy had fairly logged
its men into a subma rine campaign that
was odious in the sight of mankind,
and to engage in which was sure to be
suicide sooner or later, would not dis
cipline and the joy Of battle have ceas-
ed to exist in that service? The Ger
mans fought bravely in the battle OF
Jutland, and died like men in the Pa
cific when their time came, but they
could not endure the ugly U-boat cof-
fins which doomed them to death or
the loss of their reason.
The submarine campaign was lost
long before the Germans signed the
armistice. Listening devices, depth
bombs, and the unerring guns of the
swarming destroyers made each ven-
ture from the base like forlorn hope
and to find crews became the despair
of the admiralty. At the last but fe"
submarines were in commission, and
it seemed futile to go on building them
in quantities. Against powerful, re-
sourceful and active enemy the subma-
rino is no longer to be dreaded, but
this could not have been said in the
first three years of the war.

such a sinking fund would be admins
tered, the senator said he would pro-
pose to appropriate by a permanent
law, for the period of Amortization de-
cided upon, the amount required under
the plan. Thus congress in the beginning
would discuss and weigh all the factors
and decide whether the policy should
be to amortize on the l per cent, A
year basis: on the ii per cent, 32 year
basis, or on the q per cent, "a year
basis. Having decided which plan 1t
preferred, it would adopt that plan in
it's legislation, and pass a continuing
appropriation act setting aside the
amount required and directing how it
should be used in taking up each year
that amount of the government securi-
ties.
Enthusiasts are Impatient.
The programme as here outlined is
regarded with impatience by one class
of enthusiasts, who insist that it
ought not to take so long to discharge
the debt.
"Oh," they say, lets put on a tax
big enough to clean it up in ten years
and have done with it." Neither the
senator nor the wise heads of the bus
mess and finance with whom he has
been consulting consider this at all
feasible. The burden would be too
heavy. They fear that public debts
would be transmitted into private
debts, and in getting the government
out of debt the procedure would be
getting the people into it deeper
There are three things the people
are interested in It this time" added
Senator Smoot. "They demand. first,
to stop the wicked waste of govern
ment expenditures and cut government
costs to the bone. Second, to change
the revenue laws so as to avoid all
discrimination to take out the nag
ging, troublesome taxes, and to pass
fair revenue law that will insure
equality of treatment to all business.
Third, and finally, the people are in
terested in the league.of nations. They
want to know whether we are going
to maintain our present form of gov
ernment and remain an independent,
sovereign nation.
"The present development of public
opinion is all in opposition to the lea
que The public is coming to realize
that it is simply means to place the
credit and resources of the one great
solvent nation behind the overburden-
ed powers of the world. 1t means
dumping the accumulated deficits of
the world on our shoulders. and the
people will realize that in time to
save us from the danger of being in
volved in it."
Senator Smoot is not yet ready to
present his fiscal programme in de-
tail to congress, but as soon as pos
sible it will be introduced.

DISTRICT COURT PATRONAGE
Possible Clean Sweep Of Au Present
Officials.

Washington, June 2.-Interesting
rumors regarding judicial appoint
ments for the western district Of South
Carolina, which have been current for
several days, were renewed here today
by South Carolina politicians.
1t has been generally overlooked in
South Carolina that there may possibly
be four Federal positions to I'LL there
in the near future and almost certain
ly three.
1t Is the general belief Of many Of
the South Carolina men who have
been here during the past two weeks
that the appointment Of any one Of
certain candidates to I'LL Judge ]. 7.
Johnson's place on the bench will soon
mean also the appointment Of new
district attorney to succeed William ].
Thurmond Of Edgef1eld, new clerk in
the place of J. B. Knight Of Greenville,
new assistant to the district attorney
and possibly new United States mar
shal in the place of Charles ]. Lyon Of
Abbeville, although 1t Is the general
opinion, as far as could be secured
here, that the marshal may get
through safely, it being the idea that
there will be change in the office Of
district attorney, clerk and assistant to
the former. There are said to be cer-
tain candidates who If named may
want an entirely new set Of court Of
fcials.
IA great deal Of -disonssion Is going.
on now over this phase Of the judge
ships vacancy, though for obvious rea-
sons no one wishes to be quoted.
Another feature Of the matter
brought to light today is that II the
new Judge shall ask for new court Of
ficials, it may be that their selection
may not be held entirely within the
lines of the western district.
Although 1t is believed here that In
the near future it will be shown; that
the matter Of making recommends
ton for Judge will be largely IN the
hands Of Senator Dial, the opening up
of the other places may cause Senator
Smith to place part Of this patronage
in the eastern district, embracing the
counties In the lower and eastern parts
of South Carolina
It was also pointed out that the
abandonment of the old agreement be-
tween, senators and house members
concerning patronage appointments,
may cause house members from South
Carolina, including both the eastern
and western district members, to take
a hand in the distribution, If 1t be-
comes apparent that there Is to be
general shake up.
The district attorney is appointed py
the president and it would require his
resignation to bring about the appoint
ment of a new man and the same Is
true with regard to the position OF
marshal. AS to clerk Of court ana
minor officials, they are appointed by
the Judge and there seems to be no
doubt, from what has been learned
here, that changes Of importance are
IN sight soon after Judge Johnsons
successor Is named.
The eastern district may figure In
the forthcoming distribution OF this
Federal patronage.-Columbia State.

The Admiral Explains.

The admiral arrived at Colonel
Wards's small railway car late one
evening with naval A. D. c. Two
guttering candles were the only light
and the compartment was so small
that two out Of six persons present
had to sit on the floor. The admiral
was brief and to the point. He said he
undertook the task unwillingly, and
with no other object than the hope OF
being able to save his country. To ef-
feet that purpose the first essentials
were a practical government and a
disciplined army. There was no quest
ton at all of a restoration of the mon
archy, or of his favoring reaction. He
expressed himself convinced of the
necessity of establishing constitu-
tional government.
Admiral Koltchak evidently greatly
valued British support, and was anXl'
Gus that a typical representative OF
British democracy like Col. John ware
should know that although he had be-
come dictator it was with no idea ol
encouraging reaction, but merely fol
the plain purpose of restoring order
without which the country could never
be brought to a political settlement.
So strongly did Admiral KoltchaF
impress his hearers on this occasion
with his. sincerity and his quiet in
tensity Of purpose, that all since have
done everything possible to demon
strate their sympathy with him, ant
to give him such support as was with
| in their power.
