Mmgimmdl Does Hot Think Gorman
Mm Will Seriously Interfere
With Overseas Traffic.
London, June 15?German submarine
activity off the Atlantic coast
of the United States should not be
taken very seriously as the Germans
probably will not attempt a blockade
of the American shores. This is the
opinion of Vice Admiral Sir Kosslyn
Wemyss, first sea lord of the Brit
ISA aamirauy. ine aannrai neneves
that there is only one submarine operating
and that the purpose of its
trip was to frighten the Americans.
German ruthlessness at sea, the
first sea lord declared, must be rriet
by centralized warfare in the North
Sea and the Mediterranean.
Admiral Wemyss paid tribute to
the co-operation of the American naval
forces in European waters. He
said the American ships nott only
were stationed in the North but were
also operating in the Mediterranean
and off Gibraltar.
In an interview given to Archibald
8. Hurd, the British naval writer,
the admiral said:
"This development should not be
taken very seriously. If I were inclined
to bet, I should say there has
not been more than one submarine
off the American coast. I may be
wrong but that is the impression 1
have formed. That conclusion fits in
with my interpretation of the enemys
object.
"The Germans cannot hope to gtiin
anything in the character of a blockade.
The distance is too great' from
their baseB.
"The enemy has merely made a
demonstration with the hope of causing
us to decentralize our efforts
to put down the submarine. His
object is to frighten the . \ -nerican
people in the hope that they may exert
their influence on their naval authorities.
"You will remember that Napoleon
*! O/t 1 t% * A #1 V* O "nvnllini tr/vnnnn f *\aiM
VS^7X,iCfcI luai CAV.I UOIT CUCDfl Ul pui"
pose is the secret of great success
and of great operations," now, if the
Germans could cause a disposal of
naval forces this demonstration off
the American coast would achieve
its purpose.
"I hold firmly to two principles.
As chief of the staff I believe Tirmly
in decentralization in administration
but I also believe as firmly in the
centralization of effort against the
enemy. I think it was Admiral Mahan,
who said that the greaat end
of a war fleet is not to chase nor to
fly, but to control the seas.
"Now with that statement in mind
glance at an ordinary school altlas.
Any submarine to reach the American
coast has to pass either to the
north or south of the British Isles
or along the Mediterranean where
Gibraltar stands sentinel over the
narrow exit.
"That atlas is illuminating. It
indicates sound strategic methods of
dealing with the submarine campaign.
We must fight the U-boat
in the narrow seas. In other words
we must centralize concentration ell
our forces in what is really the decisive
areas.
"The Germans, to be sure, have
been studying the charts and in
sending one of their so-called submarine
cruisers to the American

coast, they thought to raise an outcry
in the United States against the policy
which is now being pursued of
fighting the submarine in the narrow
seas.
"Well, I Judge both from official
information and cable despatches
that they have already failed in their
purpose. It looks as though they had
merely brought war home to the
American people, reminding them
in this dramatic wav that the ????
are all one and that they have a common
interest with us and the other
allies in conquering the power which
invented this modern form of piracy.
That represents another defeat for
the Germans.
"We shall have to wait on eventB
before final judment can be formed
as to whether the enemy will persist
in this new policy. I am inclined
to take the business seriously. It
cannot be serious in relation to the
immense volume of Bea traffic between
the United States and Eu|

EIGHT THOUSAND
ON CASUALTY LIST.
Department Gives Totals for Overseas
Forces.
Washington, June 16?Seven hundred
and seventy casualties reported
among the American expeditionary
forces during the week ending today
brought the total since American
troops first landed in France nearly
a year ago to 8,085'.
The second weekly summary of
casualties issued today by the war re-,
partment shows the total number of
deaths from all causes is 3,192,
while 4,547 men have been wounded
|in action and 346 are missing in action,
including all men helrl nrlcnn.
ers in Germany. .
The summary, which includes today's
list follows:
Killed in action (including 291 at
sea), 1,172. ,
Died of wounds, 364.
Died of disease, 1,1234.
Died of accident and other causes,
422.
Wounded in action, 4,547.
Missing in action (including pris-;
oners,) 3 46.
Total casulaties reported to date, I
8,085.
With more than 800,000 soldiers)
sent over seas, officials pointed to)
the small number, 291, lost through)
operation of German submarines as!
showing the effectiveness of the j
convoy system. The men lost were1
on the torpedoed British steamers j
Tuscania and Moldavia.
The comparatively small nv. :.uer
of men dying from wounds is pointed
to as indicating the efficiency of
the ambulance and hospital systems,
while the fact that only 1,234 men
have died of disease is accepted as
proof of the excellent physical condition
of America's fighting men.
Another satisfying consideration is
that of the wounded men a very high
percentage returned to duty at the
front in less than six weeks.

STILL GOT THEIR NICKNAMES
i
Fond Father Vainly Imagined H? j'
Could Protect His Offspring v
From the Common Lot.
William Williams hated nicknames.He
used to say that most fine given .
names were ruined by abbreviation/
which was a sin and a shame. "I,
myself," he said, "am one of six brothers.
We were all given good ohl-fash-'
loned Christian names, but all of those
names were shortened into meaningless
or feeble monosyllables by our
friends. I shall name my children so
that it will be impracticable to curtail
their names."
The Williams family, in the coarse
of time, was blessed with five children,
all boys. The oldest was named
after the father?William. Of course
that could be shortened to "Will" or
enfeebled to "Willie"?but wait! A
second son came, and was christened
Wlllard. "Aha!" chuckled Mr. Williams.
"Now everybody will have to
speak the full name of each of these
boys, in ordtr to distinguish them."
-in pursuance of this scheme, the
next three sons were named Wllbert,
Wilfred . nil Wilmot. The five boya
are now Pt... Itvolv Irnnim fn IKali

Got Good Advfce.
A millionaire kid recently decided to I
go to work and accepted a p.osltioh in
the office of his father, who is tlfre presldent
of a railroad running into .New j
York. The young man had an obsession
thnt opportunity selects Its favor- |
ltes from wealthy candidates, but the (
clerks in the office thought otherwise.
In fact, they made it so disagreeable I
for the youngster that he appealed to '
his father. When he heard the true ?
story he lectured his son thusly: "This I
corporation which employs you has a
chairman who started in life as a boot- I
black. The first vice president was 1
born on a farm, worked his way .
through college, and incidentally took I
care of his invalid mother and father.
These men had no wealthy connec- I
tlons, but they never side-stepped hard |
work, and If you take my advice you
won't either. You cannot drift along I
and get ahead. Be friendly with your '
associates In the office." The diffident |
youth saw a new light and is now in |
line for promotion.

i-amoue r-encing Masters.
Metternlch says, In his Memories, |
that he was sent to Strasbourg In the I
summer of 1788, and thut he had the .
same fencing master as Bonaparte, I
who had just left the school. This
fencing master, a M. Justet, called on
Metternlch when he was passiug
through Strasbourg, In 18<KJ. and remarked
that it was a funny thing that i
he should have given Metternlch fen*.-- I
ing lessons shortly after having given I
some to Napoleon. "I hope," he added. "
"that my pupils, the emperor of the
French and the Austrian ambassador
in Paris, will not think of fighting
each othrfr!" An old Almanac d'Alsace
also witnesses to the fact that there ^
was, in that year, a fencing mnster
of the name of Justet living in Straa- I
bourg. '
Carbon Ink Best at Present. |
If an Ink could be produced possessing
the desirable properties of perfect I

at the snine time incapable of being
decolorized by oxidizing or reducing
agents, there would be good reason to
believe that the writing done by such
an ink would be practically permanent.
In the meantime, when writing Is of
an Important nature and is desired to
endure, some form of carbon ink appears
to be the only trustworthy
preparation.?Exchange.
