SOME CRUSHING The Oregonian gravely asks whether or not "we must crush Carranza." How many wars should Ameri ca carry on? When a jingo press demanded during the Civil war that the United States should take retalia tory measures with Great Britain Lincoln said "one war at a time." The whole plan of American foreign policy under Wilson has been to compose differei ces with Mexico, and smooth out relations with pan-America aa prepared ness against a day of trouble with European belligerents. The wisdom of such a policy was brought home to us w hen Ger many proposed the Mexican Japanese alliance for a war on America. If the jingoes can make this war one of conquest they will do so. And then they will call upon the people to foot the bills and bear the disgrace. Portland Journal.

Among other things, re ports show that Germany probably has 200 1,000-tou uliiiiurliies of the newer type capable of a wide radius of action and greater execution than any devised by other nations. The very latest ilenmm submarines have considerably thicker skins than , earlier types and are said to be able to t take considerable punishment from j light guns, especially In clushes with j armed inercunnt craft. The understanding Is that the Ger- j man navy has largely standardized i submarine construction and cuu turn out the largest undervrater craft In large numbers In a short lime. j In view of the feverish activity of the German navy in turning out sub marines, naval experts are uot Inclined to belittle (ho task which lies before the United Slates and the allies In ridding the hlgb sens of the under water menace. If Germany can turn out large, powerful submarines lu great numbers and keep them coming steadily the task will prove an Jibing but easy. The fact that the tonnage destroyed since Feb. 1 has len far below the figure set by Bel li ti has encouraged the belief in the allied couiurlca that Ger many tins already passed her niaii mum in utilizing the submarine to "starve" England and the nations fighting with that country. But American naval olllcera are not Inclined to take this view. Although they are confident the submarine prob lem will be solved, they will not be surprised If it takes a long time.
