Detailed examination Of surren-
dered German U-boats built during
the war has produced nothing to fore
cast important changes in American
submarines, officers Of the Navy De-
partment assert. After careful study
Of the German craft and a thorough
test in the long cruise across the At
lantic, American experts have found
only few unimportant details
worthy of incorporating In new
American undersea craft.
In periscopes and optical fittings
the German boats were superior to
pre-war American submarines. it was
admitted. Periscopes on new navy
submarines. however, are superior to
the best similar fittings found on the
captured vessels. it was said.
The engine equipment of the Ger
man boaer was praised by American
officers, but it was declared that the
mechanical plants of the enemy craft
were in no respect superior to those

officers said. The idea has been ad-
yocated by a school of American
naval officers for years and has been
adopted in the newer vessels to the
extent of placing solid bulkheads be-
tween f1rerooms.
A feature of the German ships that
somewhat surprised American officers
was the lack of provisions for the
comfort of the crews. officers quar-
ters were found to be about on par
with those in the American Navy, but
little attention has been paid to the
enlisted men
The final disposition to be made of
the German vessels has not been de-
cided. They will be broken up at
navy yards or used as targets for the
fleets.

. Here is an example Of what con
fronts the nation" declared Mr.. Pack.
The wholesale prices on upper
grades OF soft wood lumber in New
York were from $40 to SIS a thou
sand feet prior to 1865, when mills in
the same state supplied the market;
from $35 to s45 between 1865 and
1917, when most of the supply came
from the lake states and the south,
and are now entering general level
of $3.50 a thousand feet, with a large
part of the material coming from the
Pacific coast.
MANY industries have been unable
to secure their supplies of timber at
any price. The output of certain en-
tire industries has been reduced as
much as SO per cent Necessities have
Jared worse than luxuries. The rami-
f1cations of lumber shortage and high
prices are limitless and have affected
seriously practically our entire popu-

LIKE CHOOSING A HUSBAND

Choosing ones party is much like
choosing ones husband; and no chit of
girl but feels herself unaided. ca
abale of doing that In selecting the
man with whom woman will affiliate
in all the purposes dearest. to her
heart, she does not question explicitly
into every petty detail of his opinion.
She judges him by the big salient fea-
lures Of his character. She asks her
self mot what are his views about the
best cure for measles but she satisfies
herself that his motives are sincere,
his character worthy, his judgment
sound his ambitions lofty, his industry
unflagging, and common sense evident
Convinced of these, she leaves the dis
covery of trifles to the occasion. If
he is the right sort, she feels safe in
espousing him "for better or for
worse" feeling confident that in the
days to come he will use the same wis
dom and resourcefulness that he has
shown in the past.
Parties, like individuals, have dis
tinguising traits. These may be easily
found out by any new voter who will
honestly try.
BY these characteristics, and not by
their promises, parties should be
judged. To woman, each party, the
woer, will now make it's most pleasing
appeal Like a youth who, to the
establishment of his mother and sister,
has suddenly become aware of his
hairbrush and necktie. each political
party will dress with care to sue for
the favor of our sex.
Her suitors will now represent them
selves to have always had so high an
opinion of woman as to have been
willing to trust her even with the
ballot Both will now claim to have
always been creatures of sobriety, re-
pudiating the saloon and the gambling
den. Both will now pose as virile ath-

CENTER OF MUCH HISTORY
Palace of Versailles Has Figured In
Events Which Affected Whole
Civilized World.

The palace at Versailles ranks among
the worlds historic centers where
nations made history There Great
Britain first recognized the indie
pendence of the United States. The
French Revolution was given birth
when the Third Estate formed a ma
tlonal assembly there. William | was
crowned German emperor at Versailles
while Paris was being besieged, and
representatives of the civilized world
made peace at this eminent palace
with the "Madman of Europe"
Versailles became historically
great by mere chance. Having first
served as a hunting chateau for Louis
XIII, it attracted the next Louis who
planned his residence on so large
scale that the construction Of an
aqueduct engaged 10000 men for many
years. It later vibrated with the
echoes of human dramas, involving
the disaster of Louis XIV and Marie
Antoinette. The unhappy VALERIE,
the vainglorious Montespan, and the
austere Maintenon successfully loved,
infatuated and exploited Louis at Yer
sailles. The brilliant Pompadour and
the seductive du Barry shone among
the mistresses at the palace, while
some 10000 drunken women from
Paris broke through the gates and
sent Louis fleeing to the Tuilerles.
The Gallery of Mirrors" reflects
great many interesting scenes con-
nected with the story of Versailles
among them being one which shows
Louis making pancakes for his mis-
tress' breakfast, the most arduous ex-
ercise of the man who proclaimed
himself "the state"

member that woman suffrage became
an acute national issue in 1914 and was
smothered by two Democratic
Congresses. We women remember
that when Republican Congress came
into power it passed the woman suffrag e
Amendment before it hadl been in
session two weeks, and that, of the first
twenty-four states to ratify this,
twenty were Republican. Woman
knows which party rallied to the sup
port of the flag when it was attacked,
while the other party dallied unpre-
pared, even when forced to declare
war. Woman knows which party is
even now contending for free and
unentangled America.
Our ballots will be more certain to
be well cast if we vote with the party
whose judgments in the past have
proven wisest, the party which has
had the most experience in guiding
satisfactorily affairs of state, whose
tendencies are in main most reliable.
Women know that this party is the
Republican party, and they feel its
irresistible appeal.
