Strange as it may seem, a dreamy haze of indefinite llstless ness has prevailed, especially in the west. While war preparations have proceeded with vigor, still even the enlisted men were unable to grasp the fact that they were engaged in a great war and it" meant bloodied and endless suffering. People knew that German submarines were con stantly In waiting to destroy both hips and men, still, the very fact that none had been sunk brought about a serene feeling of security that in many ways doubtless result ed in carelessness with the powers that be. When the chairman of the investigating committee and other members of the senate also, says there has been lack of system and a disaster such as this occurs, the people are justified in believing it.
