Adcitional information regarding the danger which is involved in,tolerat- ing the ememy within and giving him the opportunities which he desires to <ripple or destroy the industries and warehouses of this country as a con- tribution to the war aims of his native iand ought not to be required in order to bring about the establishment of the most rigid kind of restrictions but such is nevertheless furnished every day or so. Fires are bound to happen even thoush the country is at peace, but they do not occur under the condi- tions which characterize most of the million doilar fires of the present time. When large manufacturing es- tablishments,- grain elevators or stockyards are found afire in several nlaces at the same time it is pretty good evidence that the fires are being kindled by those who have a motive and when it is known that subjects of the enemy, who have refused to be naturalized here or to take out the necessary licenses for the barred zones, were employed in the destroy- ed plants, it is to be expected that suspicion will be directed to them. It is no small task to leok after these people 'w of the liberties which are allowed them, but a certain cbligation rests upon thé respective plants as weil as upon the govern- ment in seeing that dangerous em- ployes are excluded. After all the cxperience we have had with such de- structive fires it is‘ plain enough that too much attention cannet be given 10 providing better pigtection and closer supervision of this dangerous element. STORED SUPPLIES. It is only what was expected when in making its report of the result of its investigations the United States secret service reports to Washington that it has found stored New York warebouses foodstuffs and other war materials to the extent of $75,000,000. This represents what has been kept off the market in ene city and it is probable that al! such goods held un- der such condltions have not now been located. Almost half of this amount, or that represented by war materials, consisted of steel, copper, cotton and jute but the remainder was food of one kind or another. When it is shown that there was enough sugar there in storage to supply New York for over two weeks and other material such as beans, eggs, canned goods, butter, flour and similar necessities which are commanding high prices to feed an army for weeks there is evidence furnished as to why there is trouble getting certain goods and why prices are where they are. Not all of these coods are held by profiteers but there is a ecertain amount of them that are while others are held for transportation abread which the country will not permit. Such being the case there is only one thing for the food administration to do dnd that is to take over these goods under the power which has been siven to it and see that they mre put on the market or placed where they will do the most good, and’ having un- covered such conditions in New York city the work should be carried on throughout the country for the pur- pose ' of extending relief, especially where such storage creates or in- creases the shortage. CHINA’S PROTEST. Reports from China are to the ef- fect that that republic is displeased at the understanding which has been reached between the United States and Japan in regard to China and ihat a protest has been made to the Japanese foreign minister by the Chi- nese minister at Tokio: Somehow China feels that it has not been treated fairly because it was not a party to the understanding, even thor the effort has been made to] convince it as well as the rest of the world that what was done was for, China’s welfare. For some time there has been more or less suspicion of the attitude which Japan was manifesting towards China. This country bas always had a triendly interest in China and been , sager to see that it was fairly treat- “»d both before and since it became a repubiic. Its attitude has nmot under- tone any change. It'is as deeply con- :erned in China’s welfare as everand. in spite of the efforts to estrange the United States and Japan on this and other questions the wisdom of restat- ing, and restating publicly, the desires and Intentiens ef the two govern- ments_with regard to China has been recognized by them. It is not taking control of any. of China's affairs, but it is o regulation of their own desires and intentions regarding China and the reaffirmation of the territorial in- zegrity and independence of the Chi- rese republic as well as the uphold- ing of the open door policy. That China will revise its opinion of the understanding on further reading is believed. THE SITUATION IN ITALY. Much uncertainty stilj exists in re- gard to the Italian situation. In fall- ing back from the Isonzo front.it was first hoped to make a stand at the Tagliamento river. It was quickly dis- sovered that the advance of the ene- my had been so rapid and the work of reorganizing the- Italian forces so great that such would be an impossi- bility. Then it was figured that the Livenza would furnish a stopping place but retirement to that point only made it evident that the retreat would have to be continued to the Piave and it fs along that river now that the Italian troops are endeavoring tohold back the Austro-Germans. At this point they are offering more resistance than they have been able to since the backward movement was started, but even at this point they are threatened with a flanking move- ment on their left by the troops which Germany and Austria have been sending ' through the Trentino. Two piaces have been captured near the Austrian border south of Trent and it is the purpose of the enemy by massing reinforcements in that region to force Ttaly to give more ground. Even now it is the opinion of Gen- cral Foch of France who has been sent to aid Italy at this time that it will be necessary to drop back to the Adige even though Austria has been unable to bring up its big guns and in spite of the fact that the advance has been materially ghecked. Should this be done Venice would have to be sacrificed and Italy can be expected to do some rugsed fighting before it will abandon that city. CLASSIFYING THE REGISTRANTS Experience has always been looked upon as a great teacher. It is being rroved anew in connection with the ralsing of the. great army in . this country by the selective draft method. COver a hali million men have already leen chosen and placed under train- ing through this plan but in doing so it has been 'found that the scheme followed was far from perfect. It was an experiment which has worked out well but there are places where im- provement can be made in the secur- ing of yeung men between the desig- nated ages who will thake a fighting force and yet who will not be removed from the equally imiportant industrial and agoicultural service <which the country required. ¢ Plans to remedy this are being per- fected and the remainder of the ten million eligibles will be classified be- fore a second draft takes place. This will necessitate the questioning by means of blanks sent to the regis- trants as to their condition, the work in which they are engaged. whether single or married end whether they have dependents in order that it may be known in which class to place them and thereforé whether they will Le subject to the next or subsequent drafts. It is an effort to get down to a system which will be put in opera- tion throughout the entire country so as to avold the confusion in the in- terpretation: of the rules such as took nlace this summer. The new draft rules should result in a selective draft more in keeping with the term. EDITORIAL NOTES. Now that the elections are all over, the next excitement can be looked for m the recounts. Whether it is Indian summer or not, the weather is certainly of the acceptable kind. 3 : ) It has ceased to be news that the Italians”have reached the Piave. The question now is are they going to stay there? ‘It is about e’ for some ome in Italy to revive that spirited old Civil war cry, “Turn, boys, turn, we're go- ing back.

Mr. Editor: We hdve just been pass- ing through a strenuous Liberty bond campaign, and every Bulletin reader knows the excellent resuff8 attained. We are in the midst of a war, and a fierce war it is, and such is the effi- cieney of the Teuton nations and such was their preparation that it will take many months at least for a complete vietory. . Many Americans do not yet realize the seriousness of this struggie. It is inevitable that its more serious aspects will be more and more closely brought home to the nation, to New England, to our own city. Our nation has for decades been en- joying almost unparalleled prosperity and our well-nigh _inexhaustible re- sources have been too nearly used up. Our school children at home, in the street 'cars and on the streets are chewing up uselessly millions of dol- lars’ worth of gum, and this is a smaller item than some other useless wasting of resources. In these strenuous times every dol- lar should be applied to something useful. If not applied to a bond to help carry on the war, a_faw cents each week shéuld be saved toward a bank aeccount. Our people need the restraint of economy made necessary by the struggle of the nations. To enumerate all the ways in which’our resources are being frittered away would be difffcuit. But there is one real waste which should be combatted “during the war.” It has been suggested that it is just as important that Monday be a smokeless day for men as that Tues- day shouid be a beefless day for their families. g Yet in my reading of The Bulletin columns I find few men so generous as to advocate the same. Why not maintain a day when something cafl be saved which otherwise would be wasted? Open up -your hearts, men, and save a few dimes to increase our $20,000 fund for the boys over yonder, They need all the comforts they can get, and why will you blow away in smoke what you could devote to them? Or if for no dther reason, save the tobacco so there will be more unsold and less acreage needed.next season, and some grower will be ready to plant an extra acre to potatoes rather than to tobacco. And there is another reason. If the wife is.practically obliged to eat corn bread on some days, if the children must deny themseives their beef soup or their extra spoonful of sugar, can’t you. men, won’t you, deny yourselves those selfish cigars, pipes or cigarettes, which you feel so neces- sary for your comfort, but which you know you can dispense with just for one day? ,Of course you will, and Monday or some other day must be just as much 2 day when we smell no tobacco and see no emoke at least during the war as other days must see economy in other lines. ‘But this_will not come without a struggle. We may easily touch the pockets' of men when some of them may find it more difficult to curb their appetites. But “a man's 3 man for a’ that,” and even if you means to enjoy a smoke, you the sake of others, demy yourself for one day out of seven, and thus you will be doing your bit toward a vic- torioue ending of this, the “last war of the nations.’ HENRY D.

POPULAR PRICES A GREAT SHOW! SEE IT Island by the master of the Seeadler when the raider grounded and was abandoned. _ The Seeadler, formerly the Amer- ican ehip Pass of Balmaha, belonged to the Beston Lumber Co. and was in the Nova Scotia trade befgre the, war. After the war broke out she was put under the American flag and was captured by British and a prize officer was put aboard her with in- structions to take her to Kirkwall, Scotland. On the way, she was cap- tured by a German submarine and | sent to Bremen, and fitted out as a| raider. A picked crew was placed aboard, some of whom spoke Nor- wegian, and eent out into the At- lantic under the guise of a Norwestan ship. é . The ruse worked so well that after ieaving Bremen on December 21, 1916, the Seeadler was held up by the Bri tish auxiliary cruiser Highland Scot, examined and passed. Sailors identi fication books issued by the Norwe- gian government were furnished the men, although they probably were taken from captured Norwegian ves- sels and given to the men who seemed to fit the descriptions given These, together with pictures of orwegian kings and queens gave the ship the appearance of a Norwegian. Captain Smith learned that. whiie cruising in the Atlantie, thirteen ships valued by the Germans at 60,000,000 marks were captured, and four in the Pacific, the R. C. Siade, the American schooner A. B. Johnson, the American schooner Manila and the French schooner Lutece. Relating the story of the capture of his ship, the Slade, Captain Smith said: T left Sydney on April 24, 1917, and proceeded without any incident until the evening of June 17, when I was in latifude about 2 north and longitude 150 west. On the evening of June 17, about 5 o'clock. the sec- ond mate reported to me that a ship was firing on us. I went on deck amd looked aft. and instantly, as 1 came on deck. they fired again. and I saw the shell fall short about 2 miles. She was about 2 miles off. There was a heavy squall starting to eastward— wind favorable to this time—and I thought it pessible to get away and kept holding on. But she kept fir- ing on me at intervals of about 5 to 10 minutes, and was coming up on me fast. “The ninth shot, fired abouf 6 o'elock, struck very close, passing the poop and splashing water on the shi Then I concluded that there wasn't any use, and I lowered down spanker, clewed down topsail, hoisted Ameri- ean flag. and hove to. About 7 o'clock the raider was up alongside and asked what ship. T tqld him what it was and he told me to lower down eails, and stand by. and he would send a= officer aboard me. Shortly after, the prize officer came aboard. snd a_dr tor and about 10 men. These ofl'l(‘el’s‘ were in uniform. They told me to} leave the ship and to €0 on board the raider, and they would give me limel in the morning to pack my clothes. “They took all our men aboard the raider except the cook. Next morning 1 went back on board with all my men and packed up. We left the ship with our belongings, June 18. We were put on board the raider again. Shortly after I saw from the raider that they cut holes in the masts and placed dynamite bombs in each mast and put fire to both ends of the ship and left he. 1 saw the masts go over the side and the ship was burning from end fo end, and the raider steamed away.” Captain Smith said the raider was a full-rigged ship of steel or iron, about 2.300 tons, propelled by ofl-burning engines. Her captain was Felix Graf von Luckner. Active Captain Lieuten- ant: the First Lieutenant, Alfred Kliing; Prize Officer, Richard Pless. There also was a chief engineer, a navigating lienutenant, a mate and 2 doctor. All told, her compieteneont was 68 officers and men. Mounted between decks, she carried two 4-irich guns (10.5 centimeters) and twe ma chine guns. The name on her bow was Irma. hen the men from the Siade ar- rived oboard the raider they found nine prisoners from the American schooner A. B. Johnson, of San Francisco, captured three days before. On July 3, Smith stated, the schoon- er Manila was captured and dyna- mited after the ten officers and men had been taken off. Aboard the See- adler. he said, was a Hollander who had been taken off the first ship cap- tured and was kept aboard because he had made an insulting remark to the captain about German money. Tor about three weeks the raider | kept beating up and down leoking for passing sbips. Meeting none, the; went south to Mopeha on July 31. an chored on the lee side of the island and on August 2 the ship was driven hard and fast ashore. The three American captainis _had gonme ashore Wwith the German officers on a picnic, and the prisoners were left on the ship. Cannon were fired to tell the party the ship was in danger, but ‘when they returned they found the propeller twisted on the coral reefs and the vessel beyond help. . After working all afternoon they gave her up as lost and took ashore everything they could move, including the beats. gear and wireless. The wireless plant a very powerful one, was set up be- tween two cocoanut trees. It was equipped with sending and receiving apparatos and without difficulty they were able to hear Pago Pago, Tahiti, and Honolulu. On August 28, Captain Smith re- lated, the German officers fitted up and armed a small boat and started for the Cook Islands or the Fiji Is lands. where they hoped to capture an American ship and come back. for the was in charge. y were never heard of TIslan DAVIS T WEDNESDAY, HEATR BROADWAY NOVEMBER 14th THE ORIGINAL COMPANY IN THE MUISCAL HIT THE LA A With J.

Some medicine was left, but he doubt- ed that the survivors knew how to use it. Recent dispatches indicate that the captain of the Seeadler and five of his crew were captured on September 21 off the Fiji islands by Fijlan consta- bulary.
