very fact lay the usefulness of their
signals. They were a part Of our
intelligence service. Just what part
will tell you before my story ends.
We have heard a lot about the i'm
portance of cables lately. and little
island, about ten miles long, in the
Pacific, bearing the comic opera name
of Yap, has assumed prominence
out of all proportion to it's size and
commercial value merely because II
is a convenient cable station.
You would think from all this talk
that cables are absolutely essential to
the maintenance of worldwide COM
munications. Beyond doubt they are
of tremendous Importance, and no
nation can afford to neglect its in
terests in the matter of submarine
|telegraphs.
Not Dependent on Cables.

Indians "Wireless" System.
The early pioneer vending his way
with his wagon train across our
western prairies saw in the smoke

American attempts at communicat-

How Holtzendorff's calculations
were upset is part of this story which
I will take lot of satisfaction III
telling.
Naturally, since the German ad-
miral believed it would be Impossible

Warning for All Time.
By such stupid underestimates OF
American resourcefulness were the
Germans persuaded by their own lead
ers to their own undoing. 1t is to be
hoped for mutual welfare and the
peace of the world that no nation Will
ever again underestimate the power
and resourcefulness OF America In
war.
Finally Holtzendorff emphasized the
Importance of launching the U-boat
terror without warning. '"The begin
ming and the declaration of the unre-
stricted U-boat war must follow so
quickly one upon another that there
is no time for negotiating, especially
between England and the neutrals.
The wholesome terror will exercise In
this case upon enemy and neutral

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he can not be too care
full about unnecessary expenses. Very
often a few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.

HAPGO0OSEES
CRISIS IN COAL
Asserts Harding Must Act Soon
on Railroads Urges Federal
Ownership.
BY NORMAN HAP0OOD.

Yesterday the government Of
Great Britain gave up its control Of
the coal mines, which it took over
during the war. Certain bad results
Of the return to private control are
already apparent, for mining crisis
is at hand. We are not so far from
coal crisis ourselves. and we have
forbidden the Federal Trade Com
mission to continue publishing the
facts. Ostrich tactics prevail.
HARDING MUST ACT.
The attitude of the British public
toward Government ownership Of
those industries which are essential
to all the people and which are in
their nature monopolies diners from
the attitude here. 1t differs in hav-
ing become more clarified. and in
having a larger part of the ruling
class in favor of public ownership.
which they call naturalization.
However. the rapid break down Of
the system OF private ownership in
one OF our great key industries, the
railways. is likely in this country to
precipitate the whole question rap
idly.
President Harding has taken up the
railroad situation and 1t Is expected
that he will move rather rapidly. The
best indication that he will move
rapidly is that he cannot help It.
Nobody can see today how a large
part OF the railroads are going to
pay the interest on their bonds that
falls due July !. II anybody wants a
safe bet let him wager that there
will be rather stormy railroad
weather around the latter part Of
June.
The Pennsylvania has just inaug-
urated a policy that shows the ability
to pick up an idea here and there
from the Government. 1t Is now max
ing up trains that cannot be broken
between New York and Chicago.
