WHY NOT THE TRUTH? T MAY as well be frankly admitted by Americans that their infer- ences as to U boat failure based on hopes, British hints and the own export figures have been hasty. If the British authorities had been more open with the Britis public as to the real facts of the submarine campaign, tl Year... Month, people of| the United States might have had a better grasp of a situation which) vitally concerns them. Complaining of the British Government's policy of withholding| the truth about submarine sinkings, Admiral Lord Beresford publicly | admits them to be appalling and threatens, despite all penalties, to tell Britons what he believes they ought to know. To delegates now gathered at Washington from all the States of the Union, Secretary Lane of the Department of the Interior yesterday imparted information received by the Mederal Government to the effect that German submarines last weck sank approximately | 400,000 tons of shipping There is no use trying to disguise what this means, It means grave apprehension in England and France. It means the Imperial German Government will seize every opportunity to justify and} etrengthen itself in the eyes of the German people and of ite allies by pointing to the success of its desperate, barbarously wielded sea weapon, It means fresh German resolve to hold out, if possible, by tacrifice until new harvests have relieved want. It means prolongs tion of the conflict. It means, as Secretary Lane says, that “if we don’t fight the war on the other side we shall have to fight it on this side of the Atlanti If Mr. Edison or some other American inventive genius discov-; ered a way to deal with submarines it might quicken the course of events. But we certainly cannot wait for such an aid or even count on it. , For present purposes we must fall to and build ships faster than submarines can sink them. We must produce food and supplies in inexhaustible quantities to fill the ships. We must make. men ready in record time to take their places on the western war front. Work, not hope, is going to win. There is no doubt about the final victory, But it is for us to make the great American drive. Upon the speed with which w get it under way, the co-operation with which we carry it ahead, the force we put into its first impact upon the enemy, depends the dura tion of the war, Submarine successes must be nullified. German confidence must be attacked by overwhelming proofs of failure and defeat. Cost what it may, the heaviest blow we can strike will be the cheapest, Millions more lives, including American lives, may be the pri a lagging start. e of — THE MISSION TO RUSSIA. Having determined to send a commission to give greeting @nd cordial good wishes to the new Government of Russia it was eminently fit and proper that Elihu Root, our foremost statesman, a former Secretary of State and a man of ripe ex perience in international effairs, should be chosen as {ts head -New York Times. Good. But having pointed out the honor we are paying Russia in eonding Mr. Root, are we to snap our fing rs at every element in new-born Russian democracy which does not acclaim him? What is this American mission to Russia? A frock-coated delegation travelling in state across a peaceful world to exchange compliments with an intellectual people who have organized themselves under a new government?

On the end of the spar was fast- ened @ torpedo, so arranged that a string, pulled from the foredeck would | explode It, The spar could be raised or lowered at will.
