Major Naval Battles
of Next War May fie
Under Sea
By David Church
Washington, June 21. The
next war may see great submarine
battles with armadas ot U-boats
fighting beneath the surface of the
sea.
This is broadly hinted at by Si
mon Lake, inventor ot the sub
marine, in a communication ad
dressed to members of the Senate,
urging a broad extension of the
submarine building programme for
the United States. Lake disclosed
that there are plans now on file
In the secret archives of the Unit
ed States Navy for warfare by sub
marines against enemy submarin
es. "The submarine has not yet
reached its full development,"
said Lake. "There are other feat

"In my humble judgment it Is

other weapon is visible and
be met by another of its kind; the
submarine is Invisible, and if made
noiseless and provided with noise
less and invisible automobile tor
pedoes or with proper mine-planting
facilities, no other type of ship
that floats on the sea or in the
air can meet it on equal terms
The cost of the submarine is slight
compared with other vessels. Did
the six hundred millions spent on
aircraft get a single German sub
marine? No. According to the
official reports, the best defense
against the German submarines
was other submarines. As soon as
war was declared between our
country and Germany I sent sev
eral plans to our Navy Depart
ment as well as to some English
naval frierjs. I outlined how sub
marines could be used for a de
fense against attacking enemy
submarines. Some of these plans
were later put Into practice. They
proved effective, but if they had
been fully carried out the loss of
ships near the English coast would
have been very much reduced.
These plans, I presume, are still
on file in the secret archives of
the Navy Department, where they
may remain without further dis
cussion, so far as I am concerned. '
D Boots Undefeated.
Lake firmly believed that the
German U-boats were not beaten
in the World-Var.
"Many people think the sub
marine was mastered and driven
from the sea," I ,;i k - declared.
"Hundreds of millions were ex
pended and lost on barrage and
large fleets of trawlers, submarine
chasers and other ships to offset
the sinking caused by these Ger
man submarines, and the sub
marines, and those sunk were In
significant in number and cost in
comparison to the surface ships
lost. England lost ships, cargoes
and men without number. Un
told fortunes paid tribute to the
awful power of destruction, of the
submarine.
"in spite of the expenditure? of
billions on destroyers, submarine
chasers, .miners, airplanes and bar
rages the submarine continued to
latest the seas.
"The strategy of war made it
good tactics to claim destruction
of submarines in unlimited num
bers, but the war history records
no such events ks were claimed
during hostilities. Much has oien
made of the fact that no Ameiican
transports and troopships Ml
sunk by submarines. The writer
understands that history records
that the Germans felt it better not
to sink American troopships and
saw her error In thinking that she
could conquer the world through
(rightfulness.
"America was Soared"
"To quote the statements of one
high American naval officer who
was active overseas, 'Germany
decided it was bad policy to sink
any of our troopships, as that
would further alienate us when it
came time to make peace and re
sume trade relations,' so the order
went out to spare American troop
ships; in other words, as this of
ficer stated. 'They could have
sunk our ships it they wished, but
they bad lost their guts and did
not have the nerve . to carry out
their former programme of fright
fulness.' According to the Bridge
port Telegram of April 23. 1921,
Admiral Sims said. 'If Admiral
Von Tirplti had had his way In
tbe high councils of Germany we
would now be speaking German
with a decided New England ac
cent' and he also said be 'believed
airplanes and submarines would
be the master weapons in future
wars.'
"The submarine baa not lost its
ower over other types of craft.
It is just as deadly as when I first

This is the second article by J.
F. Langner, cooperative marketing
adviser, which is appearing in the
Capital Journal on cooperative
marketing. The first article told
of tbe organization that has been
effected and the combination
which Is at present under way.
The two earliest co-operaive
organizations of any magnitude on
the Pacific Coast were the orange
and walnut growers of California.
For the consumer to understand
the problems confronting the grow
ers of these two commodities it is
necessary to understand the condi
tions surrounding the growers
prior to the time the marketing
associations were first organized.
The early history of the market
ing of Callfonta's walnut crop is
one long story of low price which
left the grower without a profit
at the end of the season and
vicious speculation.
The first walnuts were planted
in California in 1867. By 1880
the crop of California walnuts
amounted to approximately 500,
000; in 1890 over 2,000,000
pounds, and by lasu approximat
ely 50,000,000 pounds. Thus
within forty years the quantity of
Prior to 1895, when the walnut
crop was approximately three to
foreign our minion pounas me metnoa oi
Every marketing was to sell to a group
ot speculators wnose only interest
was to buy walnuts from the grow
er at the lowest price and resell
to the consumer at the highest
price. The walnuts were not well
cleaned, were not graded, were not
even of good quality. In 1895 the
growers of one district decided to
market only a high quality walnut
and to sell it directly on the New
York market through one broker
Because it was putting out a uni
form product it met with much
success.
In 1896 three new associations
were formed in 1898 two more and
by 1919 there were thirty-one co
operative walnut associations in
California. Each of these associa
Hons now has established its own
brand, its own grades, and its own
particular methods of marketing
through individual brokers. Each
association appointed a different
broker to handle its crop.
Competition Proved Ruinous
The result was that while the
individuals in one district were
not competing with each other, the
district itself entered into the
worst kind of competition with its
next-door neighbor. Ruin once
more stared the walnut growers In
the face. Some brokers were
strong financially, others were
weak. At the beginning of the
season it became the habit of all
the brokers to get together and
arbitrarily establish a price. For
Instance, one year the price estab
lished was 11 Si cents a pound to
the retailer. But some weak brok
ers, in order to hold their trade
reduced the price little by little
until they had the price down to
9 cents, at which figure they show
ed a loss to the grower.
In 1912 the growers decided to
eliminate competition between
their districts and formed the Cali
fornia Walnut Growers' Associa
tion. The express purpose of this
association is to market all the
walnut crop through the one in
stitution; to grade the entire crop
so that any consumer buying Cali
fornia walnuts would be sure of
getting walnuts fit to eat every
one of them and to advertise
their walnuts under a brand. To
day the association markets an
nually 50,000,000 pound? of wal
nuts worth $15,000,000 dollars at
least.
The Industry has been kept

on the walnut Industry and it is

cultural in Southern California.

growers of the region, which is a
heavy grain producer, have sown

Kenosha, Wis., June 20. The

Birds, animals and reptiles are

Most of the monkeys, however,
are to be used in certain patho

Charged Grain

Carmangay, Alberta. June 20.
Electrified grain seed has been
planted extensively by farmers of
Southern Alberta this spring for
the first time in Canada and, as
time on the American continent.
A plant for the treatment of
seed by this electric process has

The electrification of seed, it is
claimed, will increase the harvest
yield, eliminate tbe germs ot fun

quality of the grain.
The process consists in plaeing
the seed in a bath containing me
tallic salt, such aa calcium and

grain a certain fixed time the so

He prayed without success. He had
used crutches for a year, with
limbs all disjointed and twisted
horribly. He had been crusned In
a Kenosha factory.
One day a fellow missionite toid
Morris to pray in English. Mor
ris learned the tongue enough to
repeat three, or four prayers. Back
he went to the mission. He prayed
several days without success.
Then came a day when he pray

He had had a vision the night be

He writhed on the floor. Ten min

This is the story of Morris and

"We are ready," he said, "to

Miners Fail Te

Subsidy Plans
London, June 20. Leaders of
the miners' federation of Great
Britain took no steps yesterday to
prevent the withdrawal of the gov
ernment s offer of a ten million
pounds sterling subsidy to the coal
industry. They are proceeding with
tbe call to all trade organizations
affected by the wage dispute to
meet at an early date for the pur
pose of taking national action to
secure mutual demands.
Tbe annual conference of the la
bor party will be held tomorrow.
Most of the unions are involved in
wage disputes, and are ready, ac
cording to spokesmen of the min
ers, to take a stand with the coal
diggers against what they regard
to be a "conspiracy" on the part
of employers to reduce wages be
low the pre-war level and break
the unions.
Preacher Says
Bible Against
Passport Photo
Chicago, June 20 The state de
partment is to decide one of the
most unique objections to passport
regulations ever raised here.
Carl W. Johnson, a missionary,
refused to have his photograph
placed on passports he desired to
Norway and Sweden because, he
Bald, "it was against God's will."
Johnson Invoked the Bible to up
hold his stand.
He quoted Exodus 4:20: "Thou
shalt not make unto thee any
graven image, or any likeness ot
anything that is in Heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or
that is In the water under the
earth."
"I am going abroad on mission
ary work, but I refuse to have my
picture taken because it is in con
flict with the Holy Book," he said.
The state department will decide
whether the government's rules or
the Holy Book shall govern John
son's passport.

tionalists in Asia Minor are op
posed by Great Britain, France and
Italy, which have despatched a
note to the Greek government,
asking that King Constantine'
postpone his campaign against the
Turks and accept mediation which ',
may settle the Near East situation.
Should Constantine's reply be
favorable, overtures to the Turk
ish nationalists will quickly fol

Allied high commissioners in
Silesia have been asked for a unan
imous report relative to the fron
tier to be established between Po
land and Germany in the plebiscite
area there. Should the commis
sioners be unable to agree, experts
will be sent to adjust the situation
and both the Poles and Germans
will be forced to accept the allied
decision, which will be based upon
the reports submitted by the experts.

Forced to Bathe by

Chicago, June 21. Here's the

Charles Henry Mackintosh, an
advertising expert, blames it all
on soap advertising.
Says Charles: '
"Only a short time ago we bath
ed once a week and generally on
Saturday. We even skipped once
in a while. Then came a flood of
advertising by soap manufacturers
until we were persuaded we were
n't Christians unless we took a
daily bath. We were advertised
into it. Advertising ought to raise
the standard of living."

AN EDITORIAL
ON BUYING
The men who ' signed the Declaration of
Independence had faith in it. It success meant
fame its failure, death. But they had faith
they identified themselves with it they
signed.
So with the manufacturer who trade-marks
and advertises his goods. His trade-mark is
his signature to the pledge "I back this
article, its quality, its value, and its service to
the public. I am responsible for it; the praise
or blame belongs to me."
He has faith.
"Caveat Emptor!'
the buyer beware !"
said the Romans 'let
"Buy by the trade-mark name!" we say to
day "Let the buyer be wise!"
Today if a man makes a product that is good
enough to be proud of, he trade marks and
advertises it, that ail the world may know
him as the author. This mark is his pledge of
quality of his responsibility of his word of
honor to you that he backs his product to the
limit. And if a manufacturer does these
things, let the buyer be wise let him look for ,
the trade-mark name and buy with his money
a pledged commodity.
But if a manufacturer avoids or neglects
these things if he makes and sells a product
without mark, name or sponsor "Caveat
Emptor!"
The Government specifies that silverware
must contain 925-1000 of the virgin metal be
fore it can bear the mark "Sterling." This is
for your protection.
But what of such products as tooth-brushes,
hats, kitchen utensils and collars? There is
no Government specifications of quality there!
What protection have you in buying these and
the thousand other things you use in daily We?
You have the trade-mark name of estab
lished reputation.
Remember that a manufacturer's advertised
trade-mark name is to an article of merchan
dise what a signature is to a letter. It is a sym
bol with which he says "I made this article
and I'm proud of it."
An un-trade-marked article is like an anony
mous letter it may be trustworthy, but who
knows? If the manufacturer knows, his trade
mark isn't there to prove it. It is a pig "
poke a doubtful quantity.
It is- for all of us to spend our money as we
see fit. It is for the wisest of us to get the ut
most of quality and value for our money and
in this category come the consistent purchasers
cf standard trade-marked goods.
An advertised, trade-marked article has the
100 backing of the man who made it. " "
is an established product, it is only such be
cause it has passed the acid test of public use.
If it is new, the trade-mark is the manufV,
