Our one time fellow citizen \V. A.
Gilmore was a poetical observer tor

been needed. There is no doubt ot
Gilmores powers of observation and
for mui reason his view us to wo
man suffrage is worth noting. fie i
says tuey vote Horn sentiment and
not trum reason. They pmed poor
Mr. Wilson who had lost his wife and
had a hard time generally during his
first term. Thereiore they voted in
sumcient numbers to give hun a sec
ond term. A3 we said soon after
election, this kind of stuif is political
dynamite of ninety per cent nitro
gty cei ,ne and it is certain that the
leaders of neither party want to
hunule any more of it than they cun
help. Thereiore it would not be a
w..d assertion to say that woman
suffrage received something of a set
back because of the way the women
of ten state3 voted. The party leadere
in the large eastern states will prob
ably reiuse to let the question of
equal suffrage be even considered for
many, many years. Nor will the
solid south care to entertain in their
midst such an uncertain quantity.
Lnuuesuonubly Mr. Gilmore as an
experienced observer expresses the
sen wine.ns of many today when he
regrets the inability of women to vote
for other than sentimental reasons.
Just two weeks ago yesterday there
appeared in the Chicago American an
alleged interview with a personage
said to be in a position to know
something of Germany's plans of ac
tion in case the entente allies should
refuse her proposal of peace. It was
stated that Germany had perfected
the means of starving Great Britain
into submission. Bhe recognizes Bri
tain as the heart of the coalition
against her and knew that a stab at
the heart would end the war. In order
to stop the pulsations of this heart
it determined to cut oft shipping, it
was said, and thus produce a state

of starvation cn the British isles. In
order to make good this threat it was
stated that Germany already had
constructed 650 super-submarines, 650
ordinary submarines, 200 Zeppelins,
and 1,000 airplanes. Presumably the
scheme was to attack British ship
ping continuously from the air and
under the seas. This plan may - cr
may not hare been formed and It
may or may not be attempted and
carried out partially or In toto. The
outcome alone can tell. And paren
thetically it may be said that if such
an attack were even now in progress
we probably would not hear a word of
u lor some time so close is the Brit
ish censorship.
The dispatches printed y»3terday
showing that allied shipping has of
late b en suffering cons.derably from
the activities of a phantom raider
should not be connected with the al
leged threat of Germany in case her
peace proposals were not accepted.
G:many's mysterious raider wa3 on
the Atlantic and at work even before
the peace proposal was made. A dis
patch from the authorities at Halifax
and news front other places showed
this. The ships supposed to have
been sunk by thi3 commerce do
st! oyer have left American and other
ports at various times so far back
as November. And the total number
of ships estimated in yesterday's dis
patches to have been lost are not more
than thirt) or forty.
If the raider operating during two
mcnth3 has sunk only this many it
means Just so much loss in tonnage,
money and men and that i3 all. It may
upset to a small extent the plans of
the British authorities who may be
ielving on some of the cargoes for
future operations. It need not be
suppos d that any immediate change
of British military plans could be ef
fected by the loss the cargoes of thirty
slips. The alliid supply of food and
munitions is altogether too great for
that.
The losses us estimated would not
exceed 200,000 in tonnage and prob
ably not valued more than fifty mil
hens of dollars all told. But that,
too, is considerable to a nation which
is raising war funds by methods that
may almost be described as forced
subscription. However, it i9 not a
vital blow in any way.
The significance of yesterday’s news
lien, we think, in this, that if the
Gei mans can tend out one raider
which can elude the allied cruisers
and patrol boats it can also send out
two, three or a dozen. It is probable
tha' two and possibly three of these
ocean wolves are even now preying
on iHied merchant vesels.
The loss in British ships so far
announced is only a trifle compared
with the whole. British and American
jatds are launching British bottoms
several limes faster than they have
hern destroyed. The menace is in the ,
| ---——
—
possibility of a dozen, or score, of such
raidrs making the seas Impassible
for cargo carriers. This is of primal
importance. And the continually in
c* casing ».'03ls of the wi.i to Great
Briialn are a secondary factor. If
Germany can make England's ex
penses too great to be borne then,
•of necessity, the war wili bo near its
c tbe. But this method must surely
be long delayed as the wealth of Great
Britain Is still very groat.
In the meantime the allies have on
foot secret plans which are snid to
unanimously concurred in by all. The
tremendous preponderance of the cn
u ate land force may reasonably be
expected to result in movements fully
us disquieting to the central powers
as Germany’s are said are said to ba
to Great Britain.
