Super-Crafts Thought Re

LONDON, Jan. 1 0. The subma
rine war. has gradpally takon on a
new phase since the wintry weather
set In. Submarines of the so-called
cruiser type are now doing; most of
the sinkings, while the smaller sub
marines, apparently are confining
th'r wrrk largely to mine layin?.
' The reason for : this- shif ting of
German technique is that small sub

has proved wonderfully seaworthy,
being;; actually more manageable

them, have-been ost that there are
now not more than seven or eight
operating. These, however, are
manned by the pick of the whole

harm may, be Judged from the fact
that these seven cr eight vessels are

Senator Kenyon, Back From
Vjsit to Battle Frost, Says
This Is No Time To Talk
J Peace With Germany :.. :
SPEEDY ACTION TO .
DETERMINE OUTCOME
Better Institutions Predicted
' for America at Close of
Struggle
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. -Senator
Kenyon who recently Returned , I rsja
a visit to tho French front and to
England, today warned the senate
against Germany's peace offers, and
stories that the country was exhausted.'-
:': 1 - ...
'Nothing could assist , Germany
more, he declared.V'Those who are
trying to help In bringing, about a
patched up peace and lend their. In
fluence In that direction, are weaken
ing American preparation.', he said,
"and they had' best 'remember that
it will cost us more now to lose this
war than to win it."
Senator Kenyon in relating his ex
periences, saldvthaf what ho had seen
in France had aroused him to such
a pitch that lie wished the kaiser
might b compelled to be at sea In
an open boat that was being shelled,
that the palaces, of the German ruler
might be blows UP and that he might
be r placed where bombs dropped
round him during a London air
raid, . W -. ;,- .
Pointing to the fact' that it took
England two years or more to get
ready to fight, he declared there was
no; reason for gloom In this country
now but "the saddest words this na
tion can ever write if it fails In this
emergency by reason of delay will
be the worda tto late.
t'WeVmust bring to the Western
front-two .million men and have a
mill ion in reserve", enator, Kenyon
declared. "We must do it as quickly
as possible.' We must cat red tape;
stoa quarreling abuot the - guns and
like things, and carry this thing
through on business like principles
ta Is not possible for each individual
in this country to quit thinking about
what some one else would do ana re
solve to' do everything be can-do?
It is not enough, to do our bit.' We
must our blt-i There is too much
grandstanding and limelighting; too
much patriotic posing and not enough
sacrifies. ? .
"Out of this war will come great
things to Cuf people. ; We will have
no hyphenated Americanism In this
country, U4s not a time (or partisan
ship nor politics and I may say it is
not time for -inefficiency ia mnjr de
partments of our government s
Senator Kenyon said that in this
"spirit of nonpartlsanshlp," he would
like to see a coalition cabinet in
cluding Elibu Root and Theodore
Roosevelt and that the services of
William H. Taft might be used tin
some of the commissions sent abroad.
