The Navy has decided all of a
sudden to let us know the facts OF
life about submarines. Following
Robert ]. Casey's general story,
there come across this desk the ex.
citing tales of two particular SUBJ
mersibles, Silversides and Seawof,
among the early and most deadly
raiders to carry war to the Japa-
nese.
Doolittle got credit for being
among the first to take a look at
the enemy's home island, but many
unsung subs must have taken many
daring periscope peeks.
Seawolf is sister ship to the
tragic Squalls. Under fearless
Freddy" Warder, lieutenant COM
mander, she visited Manila, slowed
the foes advance south of Java,
fought through the Dutch East In
dies. Warder joins the almost in
terminable list Of officers telling
his crew, when the Navy Cross is
pinned on him, that it's ''as much
yours as it is mine, boys"

Laugh Up Their Sleeves

Charity suffereth long and is Kind" But
what we cannot understand is how Japan be-
came eligible for charity or kindness.
Certainly there has been nothing in Japan's
conduct before and during the war to justify
either.
General MacArthur's reply to Japans de-
mand for more time for sending a surrender
delegation to Manila is so completely the op-
posite of Japans policies and the oppression of
Japans military commanders in the field,
when they were for time victorious, it would
be hard to explain except that he, nor any
civilized man or government, would descend
t. the depths of treachery and intolerance OF
the Japanese
We cannot believe that Hirohito, who claims
that it will take up to twelve days to get his
cease firing order to all Japanese forces, is
acting in complete good faith or doing all that
he could to speed the official end of the war.
We cannot overcome the thought that the
japanese are Laughing up their sleeves over
the ease with which they put across the deal
to retain the emperor and then to delay the
actual surrender.
We read with disappointment that General
Macarthur, did not put definite limit in
which Tokyo should have its delegation in Ma
Mia Without such limit. we may be sure the
japanese will drag out the proceedings as
long as possible in the hope OF putting some
thing else across to their advantage.
This may well be the attitude OF the militar-
lists, whose puppet Hirohito is, and who have
not yet digested the fact that they are beaten.
Japan's defeat has not sunk in everywhere in
Tokyo and certainly not among field command.
ers whom Hirohito is taking his time advising
of the true state of affairs.
Nothing can be done about the delay to
which General Macarthur has consented. II
can only be hoped that once the surrender is
signed he will consent to no further delays in
setting in motion the machinery for peace
prescribed by the Potsdam declaration. Any
further dclays would encourage japanese mil
itarists in their belief they are still undefeated

Sin1ons Planning Report
To Be Ready In 30 Days

invited to the city to address a
joint meeting of civic clubs in Au.
gust, 1914, and he provided the
Board with a list of persons who
might qualify for the job of taking
over on a full time basis the re.
sponsibility of n d i a and
physical planning for the city
More than 20 planners were writ
ten and several were interviewed,
but none of those interested
seemed to possess the qualifica.
tons necessary.
In the meantime the Board had
been in touch with George w.
SimonS, Jr., Planning Consultant
of Jacksonville, Florida. He sub.
mitted proposal which the Board
approved calling for a planning
program divided into two phases
with an industrial survey consti.
tuting the first phase and a com.
plete city plan, including zoninA
comprising the n d phase.
Time for completing the program
was set at 10 months six months
for the industrial study, and II
months for the city plan. Work en-
the industrial study was started in
February and was nearing com.
pletion as the fiscal year ended.
'As the broad planning program
progressed under the direction Of
Mr.. Simons, the need became evil
dent for a temporary measure tc
control commercial infringement
upon residential areas. An interim
Zoning ordinance was proposed by
the Planning Board, drawn by the
City Attorney, and passed by the
City Council on May 9, 1915. The
purpose of this ordinance was to
regulate commercial and indusrri-
al buildings in residential areas
pending the completion and adop-
ton of final city-wide zoning
ordinance. The bill requires the
Building Inspector to submit for
approval to the Planning Board all
requests for permits to construct
commercial or industrial buildings
in blocks of which two-thirds or
more of the land is appropriated
for or used for residences. Thus,
by careful study of these build
ing permit requests with power to
disapprove improper ones, the
Planning Board can protect resi-.
dental areas until the complete
zoning ordinance can be developed
and enacted into law.
by June 80, 1915, IA requests
for permission to construct COM
mercial buildings were acted
upon. Six of these requests were
disapproved on the grounds that
such construction would create
non-conforming uses in residential
areas. Construction of commercial
buildings was approved in resi-.
dental areas. which had already
assumed commercial characterize.
les and which were likely to be
set aside for commercial use in
the complete coming ordinance.
GAS the year ended the Plan.
ming Board was engaged IN ap-
pointing an Economic Develop.
ment Committee to utilize the ma.
terial compiled in the economic
and industrial study in progress"

Editorial Comment
OWED TO POE

Reader William j. Barney of the Buffalo
Courier Express discovered clipping in that
newspaper from 1909, in which Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle credits the inspiration for his
Sherlock Holmes stories to Edgar Allen Poe.
At an Authors club banquet in London cele-
brating the centenary OF Poe's birth, Doyle
said:
ut is the irony of fate that he, as he said
he should died in poverty, for if every man
who wrote story which was indirectly in
snired by Poe were to pay a 1.-THE toward a
monument. it would be such as would dwarf
the pyramids -"Counterpoints" in the

Study Is Made Of
Youth Of State

washington High School Grad

Years" is the new bulletin just
of the presses by DR.. Paul H.
Lands, rural sociologist at the
State College, in a youth series
eliminating IL years Of study Of
high school graduates Of the state
of Washington.
"The longer war continues, the
more seriously is the life Of youth
disturbed, especially the life Of
young men. This series Of studies
traces the activities Of young peo-
pie graduating from high schools
in the state Of Washington from
the depression period, when the
youth were labeled the unwanted
generation through the third year
of the war, when they were an
indispensable element in the ma
tons man power" reveals Dr..
Lands in opening.
In summarizing the data on the
third year war class Of youth DR..
Lands says, "A higher proportion
of girls were in college than Of any
previous class studied; more also

A smaller proportion entered COM
mercial schools and took postpaid
uate work in high school. or the
boys a majority entered the armed
forces Immediately after high
school graduation. The proportion
attending college and commercial
schools declined to a very low per
cent. More boys were, however,
in school than of the class Of the
proceeding year, no doubt because
Of the speeding up Of the high
school program over period OF
two years permitting boys to grad

A magnificent task has been
completed by our armed services.
Now the u. s. Merchant Marine
is called upon to step into the pic
ture and complete the job. Sew
eral million fighting men must
be brought from overseas to the
homes that they have not seen for
several years. On the way back
they must be fed and cared for.
In order to accomplish this huge
job Uncle Sam Is putting into Ser.
vice every vessel available and q
calling for several thousand ex-
perienced men for immediate ser.
vice to man these vessels to bring
our boys home.
The War Shipping Administra-
ton wants, at once, cooks, bakers
and men who can iii positions In
the stewards department. Exper-
fenced seamen are also wanted.

into the peace period are assured
and new pay advances have been
made In all ratings.

Hypn0fist MyStities
Students of XIII

After the flag salute led by Jim
Boldt, newly elected Student Body
President, Mr.. Valleau was intro
duced and started his demonstra-
ton.
He began by telling the origin
and advantage of hypnotism.
The more interesting occurance
came when Mr.. Valleau asked for
volunteers to assist him with his
demonstration. Several girls went
up on the stage.
After testing them for relaxa-
ton, Renee Bailey was selected
as his subject. He proceeded by
putting her through several meth
DDS of relaxing his subject. Mr..
Valleau checked her sense Of bal
ance by several amazing methods
and then hypnotized Renee. His
work depended upon the audience
being quiet. During the time he
was putting Renee" to sleep the
assembly could not hear what he
said but could tell that he was
talking to her all the time.
To prove to the satisfaction Of
everyone that she was actually
under his spell, he told her her
arm was made of wood and after
stroking her arm three times it
would have no feeling. He then
took a large hypodermic needle
and stuck it through her arm. Tho
subject stood unaffected, the aud
fence was breathless.
To wake the girl from his spell
Mr.. Valleau counted to five in q
sing-song manner, counting and
talking to her all the time, this
added materially to the myster-
iousness of the experience.
A little later Mr.. Valleau
walked to the back OF the audi
torium and suggested all his vol
unteers look at him and the crowd
keep quiet and watch the stage.
He counted to ten and with q little
coaking the subject dropped back
into that strange spell again.
After explaining to the listen
ers that he could put her to sleep
any time within the next six
months by counting to ten he woke
her up by counting to five. She
was as surprised as anyone.
After the demonstration, Mr..
Valleau closed his talk by ans
wering questions in the audience.
