THE YASAKA MARU
I» looks a3 if the United States
will hare to wait until tile lost Ger
man submarine, flying the Austrian
flag, had been scooped in by the
allied nary, before we can expect
any satisfactory answtr to the
President's note; ualees, indeed, the
Austrians, In turn, shift the sub
marine* orer under tho Turkish flag.
Then oace again the Springfield re
publican will be able to inform its
protesting correspondents that
President Wilsoa, has "wrung from
& migh'y power" the promise that,
hariQ" nc submarines left, it will
agre not to use them in any way
dkpteaaiug to trans-Atlantic critics.
The fate of the Yasaka Maru might
hare been like that ot the Ancona,
l<ad it not been for the very
prompt and effective work of her
officers and crew. The first re
port referred to ;he submarine as a
German boat Of coarse, that must

ready made it plain to&>t Austria
is to play the role of the wicked
parner for the present. Perhaps in
time, if questions of state
so command it, it will te Turkey's
turn to fill that role; or perhaps
Bulgaria's. It is a simple matter
to change a bit .of banting.—Ex.

When President Wilson appointed
the members of his Government Ad
visory board with the idea of en
listing the help of the biggest and
brainiest scientists and inventors in
th'a country, to help on the move
ment for preparedness, he did a
good thing. Now that it U plain
the government does not intend to
take the experts' advice, when they
offer it, most Americans will think
the President is acting in character
istic fashion. President Wilson cer
tainly k-ves to put his big ideas
before the people. But he is not
always over-anxious to put hio
words into deeds, when it comes to
a pinch!
Yesterday statements were given
ou» by several of the leading men
cm the Advisory board, all of them
expressing more or loss surprise
that the president was so much
oopoeed fo backing up the really
sound plans for national defense.
"If *he president does not want our
Advice," the experts say, "why in
the world did he start us at work
on this idea?" The question shows
a curious Inability to understand Mr
Wilson's pre-eminent characteristics.
When he conceived the idea of the
National Advisory board, it appealed
Lq him as strongly as it did to the
rest of the nation, because it sound
ed good. Ard the president always
likea to cay something that sounds
good. But to carry out the plans
the board might favor would prob
ably make more or less trouble in
the Pr«ident's party at Washing

Mr. Wilson dislikes, it is to make
trouble.
So it wag perfectly natural tliat
the president should grow so en
thusiastic at the idea of getting
this great Advisory board together.
And it was also perfectly natural—
from his point of view—that
he should refuse to take the advice
of the experts. If it promised to
push matters to the breaking point

Bu*. in connecting with the resig
nation of Henry A. Wise Wood, and
the strong protests of Alan K.
Hawley (who is president o,f the
Aero Club of America, and one of
the chiet authorities on aerial nav
igation), statements from those
members of the board open up a
uew bit of government scandal. For
both charge that Secretary Daniels
suppressed the report made to him
by the General board; that he or
dered the board to submit new
plans to come within an appropria
tion fixed by him; and that even
when the second report was made
he revised it to BUit his own ideas
or what a navy ought to be, and
cut out some of the mo6t import
ant recommendations.—.Boston Dailj

Cleverness of Beaver*.
Sorue beaver darns, If built by human
beings, would be styled feats of engi
neering. They are by no uieans Ioc»t
ed haphazard. Each site is carefully
selected and each dam accomplishes a
purpose that seems as If reasoned out
in advance. Trees are felled with a
nicety that can be duplicated only by
skilled woodsmen. And the beaver
does not limit bis tree cutting to sap
lings. In the Adirondncks the animals
have been known to cut down trees
twenty Inches and more in diameter.
They prefer yellow birch and poplar,
though they will cut any tree that
seems necessary to their purpose. The
dams are built of alder sticks, mud
and grass and are Anally chinked with
moss, making a solid wall that often
must be dynamited to be effectually de
stroyed. The cutting teeth of the beav.
er are very sharp, and there is great
power behind the little Jaws. Ordina
ry beaver chips are about half the size
of the chips made by the average
woodebopper, and they much resemble
chips made with an ax, so smoothly are
they cut
