The Houston Post speaking of As
quitb'3 resignation says, "We hardly
know what to say about it. Either
he Is not a democrat, or htere is no
salary attached to the job he uuit."
It is hardly probable that Miss
Jeannette Kankm, the woman elected
to congress from Montana, will pat
ronize Dr. Mary Walker’s tailor. For
one reason Miss Kankm is not lucking
in feminine churni3 and she will cling
to the dress that enhances while It
conceals.
Mr. Bryan who has been on the
band wagon so long without reaching
the goal of his desire, the White
House, is now said to be trying to
achieve the same destination by driv
ing a democratic water wagon. He
was ever a poor guesser and the
chances are that he has placed his
q.ouej cn a dead card once more.
When a man of former President
Tt ft's experience and conservatism
says that the country is not only
fa> ing war but is on the brink it is
reasonably safe to conclude without
any further tacts in the matter that
’Aar is at hand. He is in a positioi
to judge developments as they arise

which enables him to discern the

The faiure of the Hay plan for the

Since last M-.rch less than ten thou

coiled for the lirst inclement have
been secured. There remain six
months moie in which to get '.he
other twenty thousand and more. The
giral bulk of guardsmen returning
from the Mexican border are refusing
to re-enter the military service as
now constituted. Yet, next July, the
law will require the commissioning of
new officers for the thirty thousand
expected men who have not been
forthcoming.

as one ot the group that would tie

Great Britain is now sending over u
summary each day of the totals of
o. y* i l.'Oi .en lust auriug the last
twenty four hours auu the giun.i tot'l
fioiu the fust of February, tor tune
days the average was e.gnt snips a
day paid as toil to the new subma
rine activity of Germany. Because
we hear the totals each day and
leain ot no counterbalancing victory
01 the part of the ulhcs, tiie struggle
is .ikely to seem one-smed with tUe
honors of War all tor the Germans,
t ucn is not particularly the case, how
ever, for last tall the average daily
loss to allied shipping us reported by
tut a.iiutii rini.s was ten vessels a
day and then the Germans hud not
begun me "merciless sea warfare"
which Is now in progress. The new'
activities lane not uciueved so great
result* as the former method proba
bly because England is ligating more
stubbornly for the mastery of ‘.he seas
aim nas more tnousunus of small, fast
launches that are perfectly able to
cepe wnth a submruine and to sink it
•. hen it shows itself on the surrucc.
The reason that the destruction
Wiougut oy the submurines seems so
g.mv to us u that it is brought to
our attention now for the first time.
That is, we have never before been ,
really interested in the results of the ;
submarine attacks and the meaning .
of the British losses has never before ]
been brought home to us. Now that |
wt are vitally concerned with the Ger- ,
man unueisea warfare, have the daily i
totals, and look at the matter from the (
view-point of self interest the destruc- (
tton wrought to British shipping t
smecls Impressive. To the Engish,
however, n probably Is not especially "
so The present rate of destruction
would not wipe out the English mer
chant marine for fifteen or twenty I
yiars witnout any new vessels being
bi/llt. But as a matter of fact, British i
shipyards, and American firms build
ing for British concerns, are launch- ■
ing ships almost as fast as they are j
lettroyed and the conclusion of the i
nr.w method of fighting has not yet i
tome.
I.
There is another side to the ques
tion and that is what are the Ger
man losses in submarines? No figures
are now available but probably *hey
are enormous. Germany is said to
have had about 1200 submarine of
tlie large and small types on the first
of February. They were sent forth
in droves, tl is more than likely that
one, two or three hundred of thtun
have already been sent to the bott<^
by the thousands of fighters of all
kinds that are hunting for them all
il t time. And when one goes dowtf
the crew of twenty or thirty or even
aoiv, men (o.s with it. They ure
simply lost, that is all. They went
frun a German port and after a cer
tain time when they do not return
are given up. The British do nm
report to tlie world when they sink
one. They ure tak.ng u chupter from
the German book and using t|-_
psychology of terror aga.nst the orlsr-]
motors of that precious method. The I
Germans may send forth ‘.heir sub- I
marines and await their return, find
as the war devi'ops fewer and will
fewer of -h- «i will return until nfn
business grows hateful.
