and is now awaiting the consideration

What action is proper, Capt. Pol

consideration, and me resident would
be pleased If the matter could be held

reached.
No salute was fired, but Capt. Pol
lock made a report indicating that
the problem was a new one even to
an officer of his long experience.

A BAD ADVERTISEMENT.

+ People of this city know all about
1.-THE need of paving many streets in
the city which are used daily by New
Britain people. 1t is appreciated just
how bad they are. But. there are
worse highways which should be con-
sidered, too. Full recognition is CIV
zen to the general sentiment that the
roads in the city should be fixed up
before any which are used less fire.
quently, and that is all right up TO a
certain point.
When, however road used by al
most every visitor to the city who
while here, takes a drive in an auto
mobile, or who comes here in car,
becomes actually dangerous, that road
should be attended to by temporary
repairs at least when the city streets
are waiting for the permanent pave
ment which will be put upon them.
Reference is made here to the ex-
tension of Lincoln street that runs
out to the Shuttle Meadow club Many
will protest that his highway is used.
chiefly by members of the club who
go out there to play golf or to attend
some other affair. Many will say that
this road should wait until all the
streets in the city are in perfect con-
dition. 1t may cause criticism to take
issue with those who take this stand
Nevertheless there are certain facts
which should be taken into consider

GERMANY LOST 1877
SUBMARINES IN WAR
Official Report to Navy Depart.
ment Shows Large Loss

Washington, July 13-One hundred
and seventy-eight German subma-
rines were lost in action" during the
war, according to an. official report
just received by the navy department
The loss in personnel is given as 1854
OF whom SIS were officers. These
figures are believed by officials here
to be the first authentic information
on this subject to be obtained. Four
years weer consumed, the author of
the report asserts, in checking Off
cial records and interviewing men,
bers of the German admiralty who
had charge of under-sea craft.
Depth charges accounted for 81
submarines, fixed mines for 36, fights
with enemy submarines 90, engine
and other trouble IA, torpedo boats.
destroyers and subchasers 10, acct
dental ramming eight, armed fishing
craft six, airplane (bombing) six, and
submarine nets, six. Twenty-one
submarines were demolished or 9TH
erwise disposed of to prevent their
capture by the enemy. Three were
sunk by regular patrol vessels of the
enemy, three by armed auxiliaries,
two by cruisers and two by artillery
fire from the shore. One was sunk
by a liner at the entrance to the
British main base of Scapa Flow, the
famous U-29 under Capt. Weddigen.
A chart accompanying the report
shows that Sc of the under-sea boats
were lost in the English channel, 26
in the North Sea, 16 In the Mediter-
ranean. 16 on the East Coast of Eng
land. IL off the Dutch coast, three
near Heligoland, two in Scapa Flow,
and the remainder in far-separated
spots in the worlds oceans.
OF the boats informed before the
German fleet was delivered to the al
lies, the report says, five were sold to
Spain and two to Holland while IA
were demolished.
Inspection Of the books of ship
building firms holding contracts
showed that 2S1 submarines had
been delivered and 1877 were under
construction when the armistice was
signed.

LEADERS OF THE MINERS.

There are two forces at worl
among the coal miners. John L
Lewis, president of the United Min
Workers, heads one faction, Will
Rinaldo Cappelini leads the other
Cappellni has just been chosel
| leader of District No. i, against thu
Lewis candidate. Cappellini is E
radical" who lost his arm in mine
| work, was scantily repaid in none,
damages, and who has devoted hi:
time since the accident to learning
English. He hates the operators
His election must yet be ratified by
the District Convention. Since the
miners have determined to stamp out
radicalism from their union, the ratt-
fication Of Cappellini's election might
be in doubt were he to give free reign
to his tongue at the moment. For
that reason, therefore, he has made
no protests against Recommendations
of Lewis which were comparatively
moderate in the light of the radicals
stand. But the young Italian has a
strong and enthusiastic following,
with the power to inspire enthusiasm,
while Lewis Is more conservative and
inclined to recognize the interest the
consuming public has IN COAL as indi-
Gated by his statement, speaking of
the miners: I'VE recognize the para
mount interest of the American peo-
pie" Incidentally Cappellini was the
man who opposed the terms on which
the five months strike of last year
was ended.
Thus far Cappellini has succeeded
in having his demands, to be present
ed to. the operators, accepted as far
as the 20 per cent wage increase. a
uniform eight-hour day and payment
of miners by the ton and not by the
carload. But he has lost in his effort
to bind the scale committee to those
demands That committee will be
allowed to negotiate, or accept less
from the operators If it sees fit.
. Cappellinis election will be ratified
probably. If it is there will be these
two influences affecting the miners
and all coal matters. Lewis will have
a strong fiery opponent-one capable
of carrying his hearers with him.
These conditions are important in
considering the prospects for mod
crate priced coal and plenty of it.
Since the United States coal commits
sion has recognized the paramount"
of the public in this question,
and since President Lewis has used
those very words 1t would seem that
a comparatively satisfactory situation
would result If the commissions re-
port has the same effect upon oper-
ators as the words of President Lewis
should have upon the miners in this
particular. This, provided the power
Of Cappellini, once his election is
ratified, does not throw a monkey |
wrench into the machinery.

for the thing that is in style. Yeari
ago the lawyer who could handle
criminal and civil cases equally az
we'll and who could search a title as
we'll as he could draw up papers OF
incorporation or make will, had the
largest practice. Today the demand
for such general practitioners. has
fallen off, and unless a lawyer
specializes, notably In the larger cities,
he is not sought after.
1t is quite possible to say that the
stealing of bicycles has Increased
merely because they are easy to get
away with and have a certain value.
This may. be true. But it is quite
possible to see in this increasing
number of bicycles thefts an increas-
ing demand for bicycles, 1t was not
so long ago that people were paying
$3.50 for bicycles. The demand was
large. At that time the roads about
the country were not good; concrete
highways were unknown Today the
former rider of bicycle thinks often
as he drives, his. own car over the
splendid roads, of the pleasure he
would have had in those bicycle days
if the roads had been then as they
are now. These roads were built,
of course, because of the need of
such roads for the automo bile. But
with the coming of such roads it
is quite possible to see the return
to more general use of the bicycle
which may be obtained now at a
much reduced price. And If they
are being stolen in greater numbers
in other cities, as the case is here,
the fact would seem to indicate that
there is a greater demand for them.
The situation is worth considering by
those who are interested in the
possible developments of the future.

TELLING THE NEWS.

This newspaper cannot refrain from
expressing its qualification over the
fact that such a great crowd OF peo-
pie took advantage of the efforts
made last night to give, by announce
ment, the news of the heavyweight
fight between Firpo and Willard. 1t
was probably the largest gathering
that ever stood before The Herald
building for like purpose, certainly
much larger than that which listened
to the results of the Worlds Series
baseball games last fall. The perfect
silence that came each time the mega
phone was thrust through the win
dow, indicating that another an
announcement was to be made, showed
plainly the interest that was taken by
every individual. in that crowd.
The cynical are inclined to take
such service for granted, asserting
that it is expected from a newspaper
and that such service is given grudS-
ingly because of,the trouble and ex-
,pense attached. That is the impress
sion which 1t is our desire to correct.
This newspaper is glad to have the
facilities for obtaining and giving out
news such as that of last night. 1t
welcomes every person in the crowd
etc Nd fhara n Egfap Sc a
real sense of satisfaction at such a
time which amply repays for any
trouble the giving out of results of
important athletic events involves.
It is worth while to have something
really interesting to offer the guests
of this newspaper That is the reason
we like to see crowd outside such
as that of last night.

only the allies but of other nations as
we'll, he OF course refers especially to
the United States. This is but a pre-
Jude to suggesting consideration of a
plan practically along the same lines
as that suggested by Secretary of
State Hughes. namely that commits

of Germany's affairs and report the
facts for the purpose of determining
just how much Germany can pay
France, intensely national and loyal
to her own interests, has not yet
evinced the concern for the rest of
the world shown by Baldwin, And 1t
Is no criticism of Engand's Prime
Minister to remind that he considers
Great Britain the center Of that rest
of the world"
There is lack of diplomatic indi-
rection of speech about what Bald
win has to say that is satisfying even
though there may be seen In his
speech a consideration Of England's
interests that may not appeal to
France. We in this country know of
the Prime Minister'S habit of saying
things that are not exactly tactfal, as
we remember his somewhat uncom-
plimentary remarks about our legis-
lators from the West. But at least 1t
may be expected that here will be
something tangible to work on when
he gives out his plan-one which will
meet the approval, probably, of the
other nations, including the United
States, unless Baldwin, in linking pay
ment of separations with settlement
of interalliod debts, hints that this
country should give up the claims
we have against other nations. We
are not, nor do the people feel that
we should ever be willing to do this.
