SUBMARINE RAIDERS
(Seattle P.-I.)
The su»l\len raid of German sub
marines on our Eastern coast has
cost us some 20,000 tons of ship
ping:, and to that extent at least
must De considered a minor success
form the German viewpoint. Like
any other raid, its success depend
ed upon the element o; surprise,
and that being past, the future re
sults will in all probability cease
to justify the efforts of the Hun.
assassins. The destruction so far
hag t>een confined to coastwise ves
sels and there has been no interrup
tion of our steady stream of vessls
to Europe. Evidently the sufr com
manders are finding our protective
system too tight and were forced to
seek easier victims of little mili
tary consequence.
This development of the subma
rine, however, is hardly likely to
make our shipping problem mmctf
more serious than it now is, for the
law of diminishing returns will
operate against the assassin »f the J
sea. We may be sure that Tripit ]
would not s^nd* his submersibles so'
far if the hunting in crowded!
waters around Great. Britain aJid lir
the Mediterranean had not become'!
so costly. The prodigious increase"-j
in the number o£ allied destroyed
til® efficacy of. the depth charge
and the unremitting vigilance of our
naval aircraft have forced the sub
marine out to sea .where its chances
of finding a victim are m«?h less
than in the converging lines of
travel that leads to Britisl ports.
Close to the British ports the
German submarine could take its,
station and be certain of seeing, if
not of sinking, ships, but this
ct-rtainty decreases with every mile .
to the open sea, where a submarine-J
may wait a long time before a jj
\ -ssel crosses its path. No doubc!

can troop ships, but, •with th'e j
dual perfection of our convoy sys- ;
urn, this 1s no simple task. The '
number of American soldiers cacried .
to Franc©, plus the number of Cana-i
dians transported' to England,, has
not been without its effect on the
German people- Recently there was
a rather heated' interpellation la the
reichstag on this point, and some
of the members made it plain, that
they did not consider that tne sub
marine? were doing their duty. The '
conviction is plainly growing in
Germany that the submarine is fil
ing short, and this latest departure |
is further proof of the fact j

Russian nobleman who fled to Mew

rial govern meat set a price en his bead
as a revolutionist.
The story depicts the Russian prin
cess bravely facing death as she pre
dicted the very culmination of Russia's
troubles.
According to the story of Boris de
Tangko, the governor of Kiev was as
sassinated In the home of the princess.
Her father sensed at once her connec
tion with the murder, and ahortly after
he had given his daughter fair warn
ing that he intended to remain true to
the emperor she was arrested .and ex
iled to Siberia.
After live years spent in prison there
she escaped and went to Park, where
she became a power tn social and po
litical circles. In 1313, following the
death st the front of rUmttrt Cwshkow,

The extreme tips of a delicate root
are protected by a sheath set witU
minute scales, which as it Is worn
away by friction against the soil Is n«
constantly replaced, so that It acts as a
wedge and the root thread Is carried
down uninjured. Another aid to pene
tration lies in the provision whereby
the root as It pushes downward In
search of nourishment exercises a
slightly spiral, screwlike motion which
worms its tip into the ground Another

After some weeks the marble will be
found to have been corroded by the

Rambler Roses.
One of the loved rosed of summer Is
the rambler rose, which rambles about
scattering its Joyous self among hun
dreds of people in addition to those
who grow it. Clambering over houses,
both of rich and poor. It gladdens the
eye of the tourist, and In great arm
loads it wanders from its home vine to
the rose loving, but not rose possess

tired business folk, to whom It brings
a bit of relaxation. The.rambling rose

His Fidelity.
Upon the recent death of a politician
who at one time served his country in
a very high legislative place a num

"What shall we say of the former
senator?" asked one of the men.
"Oh. Just put down that he was al
ways faithful to his trust."
"And," queried a cynical member of
the group, "shall we mention the name
of the trust?"—Puck.
