' r si Washington, July 5.?The unsuc- n cessful submarine attack on the ships c of the American expeditionary force a has revived spy rumors in the capi tal and probably will result in even l more stringent measures hereafter to cloak the movements of military forces from the enemy. The relief and gratification of of- ^ ficials over the safe arrival of the last units of the expedition is tempered by a manifest feeling of indignation that the German admiralty was able to lay its plans so well and to attack the American vessels in n force before they reached the zone f which had been regarded as most d dangerous. p Discussion of possible spy activi- ji ties took many angles today. Some t; officials were inclined to believe that c the Germans must have had a warn- t ing of the definite time agreed upon c for the crossing but others discredit- t ed any such theory, arguing that an I attack was to have been expected as j a natural consequence of the general s knowledge that was common proper- n ty. ' s There were indications that the * department of justice might be asked o to undertake an investigation when t ? J fUn irini_ ty army unu navj icpui w wx uiv AUV* *. dent were complete.

The secretary said he might revive a more detailed report later, >ut it was pointed out that there was ittle likelihood that it would throw ouch light on the genesis of the jerman attacK or tne lniurumuun tack of it. Officials taking the viewhat there is no ground for a spy care suggested that it inevitably ras a matter of public information hat the crossing of the expedition rould follow soon after Gen. Pershng's announced arrival in France, t therefore would not be unusual, hese officials argued, if the German -boats were given general orders to ruise in squadrons across various cean lanes in the hope that one of tie squadrons would intercept tihe Lmericans. Officials said, however, that if final eports on the crossing aroused any uspicion of defects in the governlent machinery for maintaining serecy about such operations immedite remedial steps would be taken.

"The New York World," remarks ' the Des Moines Capital, "is extreme 1 ly sad on account of the danger of 1 the adoption of prohibition as a war o' measure." What The World has been fighting is a crooked and hypocritical device to burke the food con- m trol legislation and weigh it down with provisions that would inevitably provoke resistance and riot. The measure of constitutional pro- ex hibition before Congress is not even fanatically honest Some of the most vehement champions of the prohibition rider are Senators who are out ? to beat the food control .bill by mak- ? ing it so unpopular that it will be unworkable. They have seized upon prohibition as the most effective weapon to that end. In this work they were aided by the Anti-Saloon League lobby, tvhose huge funds are raised and expended in secret, but the inspiration came from men who I are against the war and seke means | to cripple the government in its con- j duct of the war. Prohibition has no vital relation j to war. No government at war has 1 undertaken to prohibit the manufac-!jj ture UI1U use U1 aiyuiiuu^ ii4uuio. 112 Even Germany, which is the most ?j hard pressed for food of all the bel- jf ligerents, has not sought to impose ||p sumptuary regulations of that kind upon its people. The limits of pro- == hibition in its relation to war are something that must be dictated solely by public sentiment, by necessity and common sense, all of which are arrayed against the proposed rider to the food control bill. ' The chairman of the national committee of the Prohibition party gave the whole case away yesterday when he issued a statement assailing the President and declaring that "we would undoubtedly have had national prohibition -within thirty days were /vF WnflH. 11/ IlUt 1U1 LUC lUVCXAVA V11VV VA II VV.V. | row Wilson." No pretense is made' by Mr. Henshaw that prohibi tion is I an essential element in food control. On the contrary, it is a meas-| ure to be sneaked through for the benefit of the 'moral forces" by men who knew that on its mertis it would have no chance whatever of enactment. This is frankly government by fraud and false pretenses. Tammany in its palmiest days never attempted a more dishonest measure of legislation, and crooked government is crooked government, whether the manipulation is don? by men who | are looking out for their own pockets or by men who claim to represent , the "moral forces" of a nation but j cannot produce their credentials. One thing is certain. The men in ! Congress and out of Congress -who | are responsible for this rider are j not concerned with the . defeat of Germany. They a?e not concerned with the triumph of democracy in this war and the ultimate victory of free government. They are not concerned with the unification 'of the American people and the mobilization of all the military, economic and financial power of the United States to destroy autocracy and make the world safe for democracy. There may be men among them who are sincere in their fanaticism, but fanaticism may be as dangerous as open and overt treason in time of national peril. il ' BIGGEST W e>iu uuno. ? (From the Popular Science Monthly) It is not easy to understand what the power of a gun really is?its' penetrating and destructive power. I What we call a 15-inch gun?which means one whose muzzle or hollow part is fifteen ''nches in diameter? | will hurl a shell right throu^'i a I! plate or wall of the 'hardest steel jj twelve inches thick seven miles from | [ the muzzle. . The power of the very I largest land guns ever mads? -the German howitzers of 16.5-inch guns j ?is such that one of their missiles j cracks open a steel and concrete fort as if it were a nut. I There are two classes of guns? j naval guns, and army or land guns. Because they can be manipulated1 j more easily than those of a ship, ' ! land guns are the heavier. From I eight to ten miles is the greatest dis| tance that a gunner can cover suc| cessfully at sea. The largest naval j gun is the 15-inch English gun on J the famous super-dreadnaughts, and the largest land gun is the German I howitzer. Of the two the naval gun | fires a shell weighing over half a j ton, while the other fires a projectile - J TJnf f naw on ant. a ton in wci^ui. uu? ???v. uv.. 0 J 16-inch guns of the United States I defending the Panama canal and | New York at Sandy Hook shoot pro| jectiles weighing 2,370 pounds, which is over a ton. These immense I steel guns can sink a ship before it has really come into sight on the I horizon, the location of the battleI ship having been determined by ae| roplane or tower. > 1785 COLLEGE OF CI South Carolina's C 132d Year Begins , Jtntrance examinations at an tne courn clock A.
