THE ANTI-SUBMARINE GAME.
Thoasands and thousaniia of sug
gestions have been offered the govern
ment for beating the submarine. Most
of them are valueless. Some aeemed
so plaaslble that months ago the warm
est expectations were aroused. But
far, no magic device has been in
vented, and probably none will be.
rerhap the most Interesting and j
novel suggestion waa mat ei a sieei
net te be stretched from Scotland to
Norway to hold the U-boata within the
North aea. Some very practical
aclentitc men said it waa wholly feasi
ble. Bat it was negatived by the idea
that the U-boata could carry heavy
cnttera that would make a hole
throagh any size of steel tnesh. Of
course storms would create a tremend
ona atrain and it would be a big job to
keep the net in place for that long dis
tance. Maay sound propositions have been
advanced tor making merchant vessels
noa-sinkable. Doubling the number
of water tight bulkheads would be a
great protection. The objection is that
it takes a good deal longer to build
such ships. Probably it la better pol
icy to balld as many ahlpa aa possible
aad trait to other means of defense.
The one beat reliance la the destroy,
er fleet The faster these are built, the
hotter the seas will become for the
U-boata. The reduction in number
of sinkings of merchant ships Is due
mostly to the help given by American
deatroyera. They "are fast and agile,
can tarn ao quickly in the water that
It la very difficult for the U-boata to
get them. They draw little water and
torpedoes nsually go under then even
If aimed correctly.
The hydroalrplane is a tremendous
help. When the water la calm it can
see a submarine as far below the water
as the U-boat dares go. With plenty,
of destroyers and waterplanes, the sub
marine will be beaten for good.
WHY HE ENLISTED
"How d' you happen to go? You
area't draft ager The above question
waa pat op to a khaki clad youth on a
railroad train the other day.
"He, ke replied, I'm not draft age,
aad I can't aay I want to go. I'm not
maeh on this killing business. But the
more I thought about It the more I
fl f AlHn't vnf in unnnrl thft rest of
my We explaining why I waen't there." J
That fellow came very near express
ing the attitude of millions. It is the
point of view of most ot the drafted
men, who wouldn't be particularly glad
evea if they were released on the
groand ot physical defects. It has sunk
inte their hearts that this is the job
of the American people, and up to the
yoaag men in particular. Those that
dom't go may have excellent excuses.
Bat always they will feel a bit defen
sive. There is a great satisfaction to any
active young man in being in the
things that his crowd, and the com
maaity generally are doing. A boy
who went to some war pictures the
other day said the mere sight of them
made him want to be there. He hated
to ke digging away in a, school with
all this thrill and excitment going on.
No live boy 'ikes to have been home
and abed on the night that a bad fire
broke loose in the town. Next morn
ing he looks pretty Bheepish when all j
the other kids exchage observations.
So the men who run to this greatest
ot all Irea, will have subjects for con-i
venation and mutual Interest for a
life time. It will be a tie of common
experience binding men together. They ,
will ke a class by themselves, a kind of j
American aristocracy based not on
money or birth, but service. Those
whe were relieved of the duty, or who
dodged it, will feel like the boy who
slept ever the fire.
FOOD AND FINANCE.
Tke development of food supplies
In near-by countries is a point to be
considered. Our farmers are sensitive
on this, as they feel already the com
petition of imported foods. But In a
time of scarcity, the working popula-
tioa mast be fed, even if a good deal i
has to be taken from outside. j
Soaih America forms the most con-i
aiderable unutilized field of the world's j
possible food supply. There are great j
spaces just across the Carribean Sea
whose resources are scarcely touched,
Vast domains of good farm and graz-j
ing land lie idle because of lack of ;
transportation. Cattle could be raised j
there as they used to be raised in our
western stales. Vast hordes of wild
cattle now roam these plains.
The possibilities of South America
wheat production are limitless. Argen
tlaa ia the only country that now ex
ports wheat. Even in Bolivia with all
its resources, they have to import
S,ll tons of flour annually to feed
thomselves. The reason why these
resonrces are not helping to feed our
people la this world crisis, is the cost
f getting products to the market when
they have to be transported over path'
less plains on the backs ot mules.
Whem railroads are built, a gTeat new
sapply of food will be produced.
The Canadian wheat fields offer a
large chance for expansion. Yet it la
ot good policy for American farmers
te rash across the line. These lands
ca ha had cheap, but the settler has
te pay la other ways. Many of these
laada are In a very rough state, and
renalre costly working over.
There is land enough on our aide of
the line to teed our people. It must
he saade possible tor yonng and ambi
tion Men to hire money at low ratei.
Fa rat era should not be compelled to
load themselves down with mortgages
at It per eent interest.
ENTERPRISE
Postoffica at second:las8 matter.
INCREASE OF CRIME.
Tolice officials report a large in
crease of crime since the United
States entered the war. There have
been IS bank burglaries in the middle
west alone during 60 days. The crooks
evidently think this ia their particular
time. They imagine that people are
so taken up with the war they can
ply their little trade with less chance
0f molestation
Therein they are quite wrong. The
war will not make people more lenient
It will arouse their anger against the
criminals that take advantage of the
present situation. Convicted crooks
are likely to get longer sentences than
usual.
The jobs referred to seem like the
work of professionals. They are us
ing the new acetylene gaa processes,
and go through almost anything, mak
ing holes through some ateel walla
through which a man can put his arm.
Where police are watchful it should
not be possible to put over a bank rob
bery. It is a great safeguard It bank
valuta can be so arranged as to be
visible all night with lights kept burn
ing. The means of entrance to valuta
should be carefully watched in these
times. It ia no time to temporise when
robbers are caught, and the courts
should give them the limit
It seems strange that men who have
the force, originality, and daring to put
over a bank robbery will go into this
dirty and hatardoua business. They
also have mechanical skill and if they
would put the same ability into honest
work, they could make a good success
In almost any technical line. But some
how the crooked streak has got into
their brains. Probably they were per
mitted to run wild aa boys. Their
early attempts at crime were passed
over lightly, and they we're never made
to feel what they were leading up to.
SPEEDING SHIPS.
I
It now takes the Emergency Ship
building Corporation about 120 days
to turn out a vessel. It is claimed
that our government Is too fussy in
insisting that vessels pass all the
t?sta required in time of peace. If
our requirements could be the same
as the British, it is said a vessel could
be turned out in 90 days.
But the most rigid boiler tests are
j required, and there have to be ex-
tensive quarters for the crew
ai a
time when the submarines are sinking
so many ships, it seems a mistake to
be too stiff. Crews could get along
with less extensive quarters, at a
time when our troops will need sup
plies so badly.
The labor problem is the great dif
ficulty in the way of a faster produc
tion. Different estimates are made
of number of men needed, varying
from 150.000 to 750,000. Apparently
about all experienced shipbuilders
; have been put to work.
But the shipbuilding companies get
many applications from workmen
without shipBuilding experience, yet
who are skilled mechanics. These
man have applied not because they
need the w-ork, but in response to the
call of the government. It would
aem good business, and good war
policy, to put them to work at once.
But it is reported that some of the
shipbuilding companies are slow
about putting these men on, and keep
p,ltting them off to a later date.
A man who is skilled as a mechanic
in other lines might to take up ship
building quickly. It is "rath?r rough
w-ork, not requiring fine masteryof
detail. We must have the ships, and
considerations of private profit can't I
be allowed to govern.
It would seem
wise to be breaking in a lot of these
men all the tinu. The faster the com
panies break them in. the more shins
they launch and the more money they'their efficiency might be maintained
make, too.
LIMITING CREDITS.
S. W. Roth, of Chicago, publisher of
a grocers' trade paper, is endeavoring
to persuade the grocers of the coun
try to limit credits, and cut down de
liveries of goods. His idea ia to have
them make a charge of one cent for
crediUns an account, and of five cents
for eacn delivery.
a man who is perfectly able to pay
cash, who haB money lying idle in the
bank, buys a bill of groceries and gets
it charged. The bill is not presented
to him until the first of next month.
Very likely he will let the payment of
it go until nearly the month afterward,
or even later.
People of wealth are frequently re
misa. They hate to bother with pay
ments. Often the thing that delays
them is the mere bother ot sitting
down and writing a check. It seems to
them so unimportant that they often
forget it.
Most grocers who extend credits
freely, carry on their books a large
sum of bills receivable. It being pub
licly known that they extend credit,
they are compelled to give it to almost
anyone. Some of these debts are non-
collectible. To carry the whole lot,
the grocer must either borrow money
and pay interest, or his own capital is
lying idle, which is the same thing..
Of course It is very embarrassing
when one of the grocer's friends comes
in and asks for credit, or some poor
man says he has nothing to eat in
the hoase. It is of course perfectly
natural for people to ask credit when
they know that everyone else gets it.
It does save some bother to be able to
pay once a month, but It is a system
that makes our living cost higher. The
man who pays his bills has to pay
for the man who doesn't. This Chica
go publisher may get a large following
oa his proposition to make charge! for
extension of credit.
INCREASING THE UABOR SUPPLY.
While our country release more
men for the army ami navy we must
turn more men to the production of
ships and crops.
Our supply la the enrollment In the
high schools of the country and It
will he a blessing to many of these
young men laborers.
Anoth-r aupply, especially for light
er kinds of farm labor, is tho oldc-r
men who usually are not enrolled in
the Industrie.
In two months tho Chicago Em
ployers' Association found permanent
places for 3(W0 men over 43 as farm
laborers.
Another plan is to enlist vital
healthy womm in the industrial army
to supply the offices, factories and
farm latior needs.
There are. especially In cities and
towns, nearly two generations of wom
en who in tlmea of prosperity never
did a day's work.
Th'lr physical development would
be a heritage of Rood health and race
stamina, especially if they learned to
work In the open air.
Thousands of such women work
now In the fruft sections, picking fruit
and preparing fruit and vegetables in
ttu canneries..
MOHAMET'S MOON SHALL SET
The statement of peace terms seems
to have been a Christmas amusement
of both the Entente and the Teutons.
The Allies remain determined to put
an end to militarism of the Prussian
type; while the Germans seek to se
cure as large a share ot spoils aa pos
sible through a scheme ot "suieraln-
ty." Neither side Is likely to acceed
to the terms proposed by the other;
and any discussion of them now will
oe only academic. Yet there is one
Item In the German schedule which
will attract attention and which will
prove a stumbling block to successful
negotiations. This Is the stipulation
that the Turkish Empire shall remain
as It was before the war. The Jews
of Germany and Austria will be most
reluctant to assent to this,
equally,
with the Jews of France. England and
America; and the Christians of all!
lands will object to seeing Palestine
pass again beneath the yoke ot the
Moslem conqueror. It may be, of
course., that there will be few rear
rangements ot frontiers growing out
of the war when It finally comes to an
end; but the restoration of the Holy
Land to the unspeakable Turk is not to
be thought of In any scheme ot peace.
REPUBLICANS TO THE STANDARD
Representative Royal C. Johnson ot
South Dakota has enlisted as a private.
This adds another to the squad ot Re
publican congressmen who have given
up their legislative work for active
participation in the war. Representa
tive Gardner, of Massachusetts, ia an
officer in the national army. Repre
sentative La Guardla ot New York is
a member ot the flying corps In
France. Representative Helnti ot
Ohio is a captain in the forces of the
national guard of his state. Hon.
Thomas W. Miller, who represented
Delaware in the house in the last con
gress, is an officer in the guard of that
state. Patriotism ot the character ex
hibited by these men baa not as yet
manifested itself with any ot the Dem
ocrats ia the house, who appear to bg
intent on holding their seats and main
taining their slight majority in that
body.
WHITE BREAD FOR FIGHTERS
Representative Charles B. Timber
fcfke of Colorado is full of his recent
experiences In the war zone. The first
hand information which be possess
ess of actual conditions at the front
will command the attention of his col
leagues in the debates of the session.
To the people of the country who are
complying with Mr. Hoover's suggess
tion to use lees wheat it is encouraging
to know that Mr. Timberlake did not
find a piece of white bread In any of
the hotels which his party visited In
Europe. The wheat flour that Is be
ing sent abroad is saved for the use
of the boys at the front and ,n traln"
ing. Mr. Timberlake was Impressed
with the evident desire of all the
Frfinrh npnnln tn v vo tho hoot
. - - - i --n - v..v t
everything to the fighting men, that'
at the highest possible point.
Many, national advertisers put enor
mous sums of money into udvertiHin?
in magazines, meanwhile sp.:ndin?
much less in local newspapers.
A study of that situation was re
cently made- by the advertising man
ager of tho Ford Motor Company. He
found that In 51 cities of the Unite'!
States, the 119 newspapers had a total
circulation of 15,000,000. In th.a same
cities, a group of the principal leading
magazines had but 880,000 circulation.
This test was of course made in
the larger cities. But a similar ratio
would hold good through the country
at large. In any particular commun
ity the circulation of any one maga
zine is but a small fragment of the
population compared with what the
local newspaper g-;ts. It Is probable
that the circulation of The Enter
prise is greater in Oregon City than
that of all tho leading popular maga
zines put together.
During recent years there has been
a largely increased tendency for na
tlonal advertisers, to use the local pa
pers. They are beginning to realize
that that is the only way to get at
any considerable section of the people.
Local merchants could get a lot of
help on th,3 advertising problem, by
putting it up to the Kalesmen who
come around to represent nationally
advertised goods. If retailers gener
ally would ask these salesmen to tell
their advertising manag-.-r that the
retailers want their goods advertised
In the home paper, a great many ad
vertising managers would supply the
funds for this purpose. Many of them
are doing ft now. Let retailers gsn
erally take that attitude, and request
this form of co-operation from the
corporations whose goods they are
handling, and they can get a lot of
help toward publicity.
It is very unfortunate that the in-
quiries now being conducted by var-
ious committees of congress into war
operationi are representative ot only
one house of congress. In some In
stance It l a senate committee con
ducting the Inquiry and In other in
stances a house committee, but In no
Instance Is the Investigation conducted
by a Joint committee. This Is waste ot
time. There should he a special Joint
committee composed of the ablest
members of both houses, and Including
members of both political parties, ao
that when the Inquiry has been con
ducted Its results will be reported toi
troth houses and there will he men on
the floor of each house who partici
pated In the Inqnlry and who can tell
from personal knowledge what waa
done and can judge after llsterlng to
the evidence what weight should be
given to the testimony. The delays al
ready disclosed have amply demon
strated the need for a special Joint
committee on the conduct of the war.
Among all the pictures of Halifax
which have been published In the
newspapers sluce the terrible dlsaa
ter there are none of later date than
1914 which ahow anything of the water
front or ot the city's defenses. This
Is due wholly to a voluntary censor
ship which editors have put upon
themselves at the suggestion, ot the
Canadian authorities. It shows, aa
hundreds of other Instances have, that
a patriotic press, may be trusted to
censor itself; and that the money
spent oa the Creel bureau and other
forms of news suppression la unneces
sary as a means for keeping Informs
tioa away from the enemy.
L TELL
OF BATTLE FIELD
The first authentic story of condi
tions on the battle fields of France will
bo told to Oregon City on Sunday Jan-
uarr 20. when three Canadian officers
y ill addresa a meeting held under the
direction of the Oreiton State Council
of Defense.
The three officers who have seen
service on the European battlefields
are Major F. B. Edwards. Lieutenant
MacMillan and Captain E. J. Cook.
County Judge Anderson, chairman ot
the Clackamas county Council of De
fense, wso Is handling the arrange
ments for the meeting, announced
Tuesday that It would be held In
Busch's hall at 1:30 o'clock Sunday
evening. No admission fee will be'
charged. It la probable that approprl

The Canadian officers are touring .
the state of Oregon for the purpose of i
giving the American citizens the truejEarle C. Latourette and Morris Gold
story of present day conditions on the
battle field.
Miss Eva Burns, who Is at present
visiting her sister, Mrs. Fred S. Baker
Jr., ot Gladstone, Is in receipt ot a
letter from her brother, Thomas Burns,
who is stationed at camp L,ewis, Amer-
lean Lake. Mr. Bums states that the.
boys in camp had an excellent dinner
at Christmas, and enjoyed themselves,
even if they were away irora meir
homes on that day.
Mr. Burns says that all of the boys
got a package from the Red Cross so
ciety, and that Oregon City was well
represented In his company. Besides
the boxes sent by 'the Red Cross so
ciety each boy received a pair of socks
from a club in Pasadena, California.
"You can't Imagine how these boys
appreciated the gifts, and wish to ex
press their thanks to the Red Cross.
All of its gifts fell Into the hands of
appreciative men," says the letter.

FOLGER WRITES
Oregon City Soldier at the Front De
scribes Banquet at Thanksgiving
Somewhere Dnmnfliio "Just After
tho Mall Arrived." My Der and Hon
orable Friend, Alvln Obst: Well I
have ben looking forward today with
the greatest possible amount of ex
pectancy" (wow!) but, Olde, I nm,
verily disappointed In you. Here, I
have written at least three Ic-tt r to
you, and so far I have not received
one single lino from you. Ju:it what
ran bo the tntitter now. I posit I v 1
know for certain that you have n grat
deal of time on your hands, so you
had better get busy ami throw a llltlo
Ink In fact, a pencil Is very good.
Was greatly disappointed In learn
ing of tho strike theni and let's hope
tlvy will find a way to nettle their
difficulties as soon as their good Judg
ment will permit. Say, oblo, let's hear
a little local gossip, and when there
is a lilt of news In the putters clip
it out and send It along. Huve read
several clippings from th.s , papers
there, but I have not had the good for
tune to receive any.
Next evening -Thanksgiving night.
Sny, Olist, talk about your pep! We
certainly hud some banquet! Ileavvn
knows what ull we had. .lust to men
tion, there was roast turkey, mashed
potatoes, walnuts, dates plum pudding,
mince pie, two kinds of cake, salad,
bread and butter, good cofeo, cdery,
creamed onions und peas, and numer
ous other things and a cup of punch
that suro had a wallop wow! and
you may well Imagine that wo hud
a little real champugno juHt a little.
Wo worked In tho morning and had
some football gnmo In the afternoon-
n picked team from an eastern regi
ment of marines, every one of them
former college players and Company
F mind youbeat th"m, 2 to 0. Oh!
but there was some celebration! The
final game at the old N. D. A, C.
hold no more glory nor ono single bit
more of real college pop than this
game held. Our dinner started at
i):.J0 and we had the band, and a fine
quartet; also some real talent in the
way of speuklng and recitations. We
certainly did celebrate thlB Thanks
giving In a stylo that will not be sur
passed for soma tltno to come. There
were speakers, of and for those at
home; and In moments of relaxation
during our merriment a thought
would linger we would wondor of
what those "back there" were think
ing of, and perhaps they too would

FROM FRANCE
imiim a moment In thoughts of those
far away, We were highly elated
upon a few of the smeches delivered
by our different officers, and, while
moHtly In Jest anil for tho occasion
of tho evening, there were many that
showed what a 'family" this organ
ization Is. You should have been with
us, Oblo. I'vo had occasion to bo
present at a number of banquet, In
former days long past (as It snoms),
and thero was never that follng It Is
r-nllv IndlHcilliablo that was present
this evening, No doubt, nfter rending
this lingo, as It runs on, you will
Htnllo und wonder how queer Homo of
us are In sentiments; but, separated
ns we nro over here, there Is that
f ellng current among us soldiers, and,
taking the ups and downs all In nil,
a celebration like this Is more to
the llfo of those hero than you may
well roallzo. To do bo Justly n man
muat be under thoso same clrcum
sta nees.
Harry Smith Is within reaching dlH
tntico from me, and his bunk is per
haps two feet uway bin bunk la noxt
to mine. I mentioned writing you,
and ho said: Write and toll Olile that
ho (Harry) will wrlto soon. (You
may Uil that with a grnlnof ult, as
ho Is u tririo backward sometimes
but not bashful.)
tfay, Oblu. I Just happen d to glance
back, and I'vo thrown an awful lot
of Ink for ono sitting. Honimtly, I
usually run out after tho first 20
lines or so; but tonight's tho night,
ns I've said beforo.
By tho way, the mall came in yes
terday afternoon, and I was greatly
disappointed nt not having at losst
on.s loiter from yon and that Is not
all, Just (2) two letters from nnothor
porson, and you may well realize who
that person Is ub H 4 greatly dis
appointed. Well, rather than start another
page (Hooverlsm personified) I think
I'll wind up this line of chattor with
tho best of tha season's greetings,
from tho bunch, and might mention
we nro all In tho host possible health
and a spirit that can't be broken. Got
busy, now, or I'll detail the Honor
Guards to make you write, and I woM
know how you would enjoy that. So
let's hoar from Oblo. "
Good luck, and may you watch
over
tne ones we've loft behind,
xour sincere friend,
wm. h. FOLanm.
