The crew of a ship recently
torpedoed and sunk by a sub
marine hastily took to small boats j
and rowed for the shore, which |
.some of them reached twenty-eight
hours later, exhausted and half
Jrozen. The accounts of the affair
ontained this sentence:
"While pulling- toward the
French coast, seeking a ship which
might rescue them, the crew of the
iHilwith saw the submarine rise to
ihe surface several times, as if
watchlug th*m. snd then disappear
. Sain."
To the minds of many readers
this circumstance must have
brought new realization of the un
canuy nature of submarine warfare,
'•'veu more iirrressively than the
repeated successes of the subma
-iues in destroying war and mer
rhant ships, the rei-orted action ot
'His one in rising occasionally from
Th.- depths to view its work, as i'
ii' ide its leisurely way from the
ji-ene, suggests the wierdneys of
:noderu war.
Imagine with what creepy feel
;'i.^s the collier seamen in the boats!
have undergone the observa
tion of the strange craft that had
"j<t destroyed their ship and come
near to destroying them. Much
they may have hated it as a
stealthy and deadly enemy, they
t.iust have feared it more as an
unearthly sort of monster that
could still bliw them out of th®
water about as easily as it could
i ome »o the top to look at them.
And shudder as they might when
its mechanical eye was turned u|>on
•lieni, they doubtless felt the iinpo
sent fear of death e\eu more acute
ly when it sank from sight.
That the submarine considered
.ts work satisfactorily completed
a it is the sinking of the coal carrier
;<nd made no effort to kill the es
caping men may be thought some
what reassuring The underwater
• raft deliberitelv refrained from
doing its worst But what it did
■lo, what torp"<Io attacks on ships
at sea necessarily do, is frightful
•?nough. No ship can be torpedoed
vithout warning and its company
i ot be gravely endangered, if not
by the explosion, then by other
.•n<* more usual hazards of the sea.
In reading and thinking of the
work of these prodigies of de
struction it may be well enough to
remember thut their menace is not
wholly to others. Unless construc
tion and operatiOB have been very
jjreatlj improved since the experi
mental years of recurring disaster,
those who go to sea in submarines
must themselves have to endure
constant danger or death in a most
distressing form.

I'resi'Jeii* Arthur T. Hud ley oi
Vu!e uu.v»:rsity deserves credit for
"••iug aiuoi.g the first of his coun
t:-ymen to see and to describe clear
ly the increasing power of the press
for gooi or ill, caused by -recent
rsanges <ui the methods by which
government is carried on in the Un
tied Sta'es. Having, in theory at
least, abolished the legislative cau
cus and tbe party convention and
"machine," and having endowed the
voter with power to make "direct"
i.ominatioiiS, and to approve or re
ject laws without the aM of "repre:
entatives," th j press has imposed
.•pon it -he more responsible duty
of shaping public opinion so that
voters' decisions may be as wise
as they are direct and unmediated.
In the light of the new responsi
bilities thrust upon editors by this
latest trend of the democracy, Pres
ident Had ley sees no way of pro
tecting them and the state save
i hat they should come to look upon
themselves as holding offices of
'public trust," offices quite as im
portant as those of government of
:iclals. Only so, he thinks, can
they rise above being partial in
their attitude and being sen-ants of
groups or classes, rather than of so
ciety as a whole.
We believe that the president of
Vale is quite right in his analysis
of the uew situation which society
and journalists face as the peo
ple turn toward more direct me
thods of expressing their political
i-ouvictioua and their social desires.
There aro states and there are
universities where the significance
of this new status is finding ex
pression in provision for the train
ing of journalists who will have
both the cultural background and
the special technical experience
reeded ec>r shaping public opinion
intelligently and thoroughly. When
aro Yale and Harvard and the
other New England centers of edu
cation going to awake to this duty?
The rising demand for "publicity
about publicity," which conies up
from many sources, originates with
persons ;vbo, wittingly or unwitting
ly, realirj that the journalism of
tomorrow, if it is is to meet the
i.ew claims upon it as an educa
tional factor, muts be more open to
the public in its information about
itself, its sources of income, its per
sonnel, its motive for existence, and
!ts comi.etency to serve as a trus
tee of public interests, as President
Hadley implies that it should and
will be hereafter. To induce this
greater degree of "publicity about
publicity" a varietj of agencies a.re
i oiF at work, some within and some
without the profession.- - S. Moni
