Lessons of the U-Boats The results of the U-Boat activities furnish two distinct lessons to the people of the United States, as well the other as of Great Britain and countries allied against the Kaiser and his vassal nations. They tell most strongly the need for active ship construction that new ships may be available to replace those which are sunk, the need for the fullest possible conservation of the food and other necessary materials which are sent to Europe in order that the loss inflicted may not be too seriously felt. But from being greatly efficient is this it tells as well how far policy of sinking vessels of whatever type, belonging to whatever nation, bearing whatever cargo. We read of the tonnage loss and know that we must build so much new and enough more to make up for the deficit of our construction while our facilities were being provided. We read of the which sail and compare that num- number of ships ber with those which are sunk, and we know that the issue of the Ger- man endeavor to starve the countries on the other side of the sea and to prevent 'the United States of America from shipping supplies and men and food equipment and supplies for the men from sending the necessary who are gone, has lacked much of being the fulfilment of the hopes of the authors of submarine warfare. Within the year 700,000 men have crossed the seas to France to serve with the British and French allies on Of quarters of a million, 291 men have the western front. this three- been lost at sea as a result of the torpedo fired by the invisible foe. Ample supplies have been transported for the maintenance of these men, equipment, ammunition, everything that is necessary to make them effec- tive as fighting forces in the actual battle line. In view of these figures, the U-boat campaign against American shipping can scarcely be called a success, but its menace and possibilities are en- tirely manifest and the challenge to America to make every inch of prog- gress is most imperative. Patriotism in Politics It is more than ordinarily import- ant at this time when so much de- pends upon the men who are at the head of affairs that the people choose to represent them in the national law making body men who are re- presentative of the very best brains and loyalty available in the districts from which they come. : In ordinary times, when the go- vernment takes pretty good care of itself, it is well enough for men to say that they cannot spare time from their personal affairs and businesses to sit in the law makers' seats. But when the very life of the nation is at stake, and of all those other na- tions which, like us, believe in per- sonal and political freedom for free men, it is incumbent that the people of such nations give their great af- fairs into the hands of the men who can be best trusted to manage them well. to be the This ought actuating principle in the political struggle which is looming on the horizon just now. It ought to be the guiding policy of both parties, for, when the actual election comes in November, it ought to be an accepted fact that the people will support with their votes those men who are best equipp- ed for the work which is to be done in Washington. The Tenth an opportunity at this time to set a District of Illinois has worthy example to the other sec- tions of the state by getting together in all its factions and centering upon one good man for the primaries, a man who enjoys so fully the con- fidence of the voting public that his election could be almost a foregone conclusion. We of the district should join our forces upon a man who has established a reputation for loyalty, for right and wise thinking, a man of real war stature, to represent us in the lower house of Congress. Such a man is available, if we can give evidence that he will have the support necessary to assure him suc- cess at the primaries. The situation iwhere in The is a challenge to the patriotism of the | people of the district. U-Boats and Shipbuilding Present reports of progress in the ship building program indicate a healthy state in that department of war preparation, a most gratifying condition in view of the springing up at our very shores of enemy U-Boat activities. If there is still need for stimulation of interest and concern for the construction of ships at a greater rate than is necessary to destruction of both of the Allies and the countries, this sudden bringing of the meet the tonnage, neutral war to our coast should furnish it. We ought to be able to realize the necessity for ample shipping facili- ties and in some measure we do, but it has never been brought home to us just what it means to have mer- chant vessels sunk with their cargoes as it is being impressed upon us since the appearance of the invisible foe in our own waters. These are hard experiences for the people of the country, but they are! necessary if we are to rouse our- selves to exert our every effort to meet the enemy with such strength as is needful to win the victory. For this reason the sooner and the more definitely. it is borne in upon us that | | { { f 1 Al n we are at war, that the battle front is not three thousand miles away, and that America must either con- quer or be conquered, the sooner will we take up our task of winning the war with that seriousness which will bring success.
