GKKMAN INROADS ON SHIPPING
LONDON, May 5 —The frequent
claims of Germany that her submar
ine warfare is succeeding beyond all
hopes will doubtless be regarded in
the country as fully justified as a
result of the publication of last
week’s losses to shipping in yester
day’s newspapers.
The official return of last week’s
sinkings and the menace to Great
Britain’s food supply implied in it
are referred to today by the morning
newspapers, which unanimously em
phasize, with exceptional prominence
of type and space, the seriousness of
the U-boat campaign and the impera
tive necessity for food saviug.
Special articles and editorials dis
cuss the outlppk with emphatic, and
in some cases, extreme gravity. Some
writer attack the Admiralty for not
coping more successfully with the U
boats, and others give advice, while
all of them insist that the people are
eating far too much food.

WOULD PROHIBIT
1HHI ARMY
SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN
INTRODUCES MEASURE
_
Instantly Arouses Intense Opposition
Uotii In the Army and Out—Believ
ed Measure Will Be Promptly
Voted Down.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 5.—
There is one preparedness measure
that is raising "merry Cain” among
members of the national guard as well
as in the regular army. There are
signs that in some of the states the na
tional guardsmen may go so far in
their hostility to it as to perpetuate
"round robins.”
The bill in question was introduce 1
by Senator Chamberlain of Oregon,
chairman of the senate committee on
military affairs. It prohibits the sa'e
or use of tobacco in army camps. The
prominence of Senator Chamberlar.i
in military matters and his great in
fluence over army legislation have
caused the bill to be treated very se
riously. Senator Ollie James of the
tobacco producing state of Kentucky
is leading the opposition to the hill
in the senate and has made known his
intention to fight it to the last ditch.
National guard officers are de
nouncing the measure as unpatriotic
and are declaring it will result in
wholesale desertion^ and absences
without leave and will practically kill
enlistments. The District of Colum
bia national guard, being nearest to
the seat of government and in closest
touch with legislation is the first to
plan a “round robin" of protest to be
signed by every officer and man of the
District guard. This is to be sent to
the capitol. In addition Col. Glendie
H. Young of the District guard has
just given out a tabasco-like state
ment in which he says:
"It is outrageous. It such a law r;
passed it will knock recruiting into
a cocked hat. A User of tobacco who
either can’t or doesn’t want to give
up the habit is not going to join the
army if he knows that by so doing he
will have to quit smoking. To put it
more plainly if we tell a civilian who
likes to smoke or chew he can’t do
either it is a dead certainty lie wili
keep as far away from an army camp
as he can conveniently get.
“But that is only one feature of the
thing. As l understand it. the bill
specifically prohibits the use or sale
of tobacco in the army camps. There
are a lot of men—a majority—al
ready in the army who are confirmed
addicts of the tobacco habit. To force
them to abandon the habit suddenly
will wreck their nerovus systems.
"But if the law is passed it will
have to be enforced as far as possible.
Therefore, the men won’t stay in
camp. They will ask for passes or
furloughs, probably, but if they don’t
get them they will go anyway.
"The result will be that the court
martial judges will be working over
time continually and re-enlistments
will be about as numerous as German
sympathizers in the war department, j
"Nobody denies that excessive use
of tobacco is barmful or that total
abstinence tends toward greater effi
ciency, both mental and physical, es
pecially the latter. But why pick out
the army as the goat for the begin
ning of this wonderful reform? If
they want to abolish the use of to
bacco well and good, but let them be
gin with civilians. I will certainly
sign any protest against such a law
as it is absolutely unfair to the sol
dier. It is a plain case of discrimina
tion."
Capt. Thomas E. Fawcett of the 3<J
infantry. District national guard, also
is out m a statement which sizzles.
‘‘It looks,” he says, “like some of the
people over at the capitol consider us
bad boys who must be watched and
scolded and disciplined every minute.
Next thing they'll be abolishing drill
and substituting daily church service
instead.”
Senator James is gathering togeth
er information to be used in fighting
the bill. A considerable part of this
information will be a presentation of
the ruies and regulations of other
governments with reference to the
use of tobacco in their armies. He
will show that the great powers now
warring in Europe not only do not ban
tobacco from their armies but deal
out the weed in the form of rations
to their soldiers. It will be shown
that cigarettes are regarded almost or.
a footing with medicine and surgery
in the care given to wounded men.
Opposition to the Chamberlain anti
tobacco hill is becoming intense, both
in the army and out of it, and it is
considered doubtful whether, notwith
standing its influential promoter, it
gets very far in the law making
body.

“Nick" Romanoff.
Mr. Nicholas Romanoff, former
czar of Russia, is reported by the New
York Tribune personally to hold title
to 680.000.000 acres of land in Rus
sia.
He owns the greater part of the
mineral resources of the country and
one-third of the gold and silver out
put goes to fatten his purse.
Further he owns about $50,000,000
of Pennsylvania railroad stock, and
has on deposit in English banks over
a quarter of a billion in cash.
The Russian people can consider
they have gotten rid of a bad nuisance
at a low price if they let Mr. Roman
off keep his cash and railroad stocks.
But they ought to take his land
away from him if they haven't done so
already.
