Interchange of traffic between trunk lines at reasonable cost, it could dem onstrate the advantages so conclusively- that the people would not toler ate, if the railroads should desire, re turn to the old system of divided ownership. Connection would be made between different lines at convenient points, superfluous tracks would be abandoned and spurs would be laid to every dock, shipyard and factory. On the basis of the Income received under Federal operation as a unit in comparison with that obtained under the competitive system the claims of the several companies could be settled and a fresh start could be made, treat ing all the roads as one utility for the service of the city. PORTLAND. WEDNESDAY. ACG. 14. 118. I WHI THE U-BOATS COME WEST, Submarine raids off the Atlantic Coast of the United States are appar ently Intended to strike terror into the American people by bringing home to them the penalty of defying the will of Germany. Their aim Is to stop the flow of troops, munitions and food to Europe, and to reduce our own sup plies from the countries south of us and from the fisheries. That is the purpose which is doubtless proclaimed to the German people, and we may presume that success Is claimed for It. But what has been accomplished? A few coasting vessels and West Indian liners, an occasional tank steamer loaded with oil, a tug and a couple of coal barges, a score of fishing-boats, a couple of homeward-bound trans ports about tell the tale. Not a single transport loaded with troops has been unk, and the only appreciable effect on our food supply is that we have been compelled to practice slightly xnore economy in use of sugar, prob ably to the benefit of our health. When such meager results flow from an enterprise undertaken so far from the base, at such risk and such cost. It ts appropriate to look for other reasons than those given by the Ger man government to its people. They are to' be found on the eastern, not the western, side of the Atlantic They were outlined by Sir Eric Geddes, British First Lord of the Admiralty, In a speech delivered about the middle of July opening an exhibition of colored photographs of the work of the British navy, lie had been given two photo graphs taken by a German not more than a month before, showing that "the entrance to Zeebrugge was com pletely blocked." Thus the submarines re shut out of their most westerly base. lie told of "the great mine barrage which is being put across the North Sea, stretching from Norway to the north of Scotland," of the mine barrages in the Dover Straits and in the Heligoland Bight and of the depth charges by which "the. submarine is turned from the hunter to the hunted," for "the submarine Is the hunted to day." Submarines have come to the Amer ican coast because they have been shut out of their refuge on the Belgian coast or have either been .penned into or shut out of their old hunting ground by mine barrages. Those that are penned in have become the hunted those which were shut out have been driven by necessity to new hunting grounds. That is why they have come to the American coast. It is a sign of defeat, not a presage of victory. The answer to this challenge is be- Ing given by the shipyards of America. One such defiance was given on August 6. when the first of 180 steel vessels to be built at the Hog Island yard was launched. That yard had no existence less than ten months before, when the contract for the first fifty ships was eigned, but it is to complete the entire 280 by the beginning of August, 1S19, a year from the first launching. The total tonnage of those ships is to be 1,385,000, or almost as many tons from one yard In a year as were lost from all causes by all nations In the three months ending June 80. That la one of four yards for building fabricated ships, which in the aggregate can pro duce as much tonnage as the U-boats are sinking, and there are hundreds of other shipyards which will more than duplicate the output of those four. If we keep hammering away at ships the submarine will not win the war, and the principal effect of its ravages on the American coast will be to har den the determination of the Ameri can people that the power which sends them on such errands shall be destroyed. BUST COPTCATS. It was to be expected that "mys terious markings would appear on the premises of Portland residents. We have found the means of dragging a representative opinion from them an other means will need be devised to Insure that that opinion is a well considered one. There is not much doubt about an unintelligent vote. be ing worse than no vote at all, yet there is an equal certainty that at every election there are many among those who do not vote at all who are capable of voting Intelligently. If the Massachusetts Legislature can devise a law that will meet all angles of the situation it will- accomplish wonders. PREYING OX SOlMERS FAMILIES.

Eighteen days later by a practically unanimous vote Con gress passed the liberty loan bond bill. On May 2 the first liberty loan was announced, on May 14 the details were made public and on the 15th the cam paign began and closed one month later. The issue was for 12,000,000,000, the bonds bearing 3 per cent interest and running for 15-30 years. The bonds carried the conversion privilege, en titling the holder, if he chose, to con vert them into bonds of a later issue bearing a higher rate of interest. Four and a half million subscribers from every section of the country, represent ing every condition, race and class of citizens, subscribed for more than 13,000,000,000 of the bonds. Only 32, 000,000,000 was allotted. 1 he outstanding features of the first here yesterday. It ws nin th.r h. O' v.'

I OPPORTUNITY FOB BELT I.IXE. Government operation of railroads kffords Portland an opportunity which may never recur to bring about a Consolidation of the railroads which parallel the waterfront and traverse the industrial districts into a belt line By operating the railroads as a unit the Government is able to equalize Charges and service for the benefit of the city as a whole, and to demon strate the results in increased traffic, economy of operation and in revenue. These are the factors which would enter into the discussion of a perma nent belt line. The experience gained at the present time will furnish data by which due weight can be given to these factors In the future. One of the greatest hindrances to development of an industrial and com mercial city has been the conflict of interest between rival railroads, which Caused one road to obstruct shipment over a rival line by delaying move ment of cars on a short stretch of its own line to reach its rival and by im posing heavy switching charges. Each had the advantage in some one part of the city, and each fought the others in this manner. In the general re sult, none probably came out ahead, but business raid the cost not only In money but in obstruction to its smooth and rapid movement. An ob stacle was thus Interposed to business, to the growth of the city's commerce and manufactures, and, in the end, the consumer paid. When proposals have been made to remove this obstacle by combining all lines within a defined area in a terminal and belt line sys tem, conflict of interest has made agreement impossible. Nothing but superior authority, compelling action and fixing value of the property and rights Involved, can accomplish the result. If the Railroad Administration were sow to put in effect the single ter minal and belt lino system with free! 1S7rr arai thn fnrmAr tinnvn r,to avav. nnA Thla TiAwnvar will not I . ...... .. I 1 ..

As the hunting season is now at hand when thousands of rounds of ammuni tion will be used, woum it not be a I good plan to ask each sportsman and I hunter to drop the empty shells into i hi.
