who in a great crisis know how to
make the most unscrupulous use of
their power. Germany's position in
the world market after the war will
be all the stronger for her having
convinced the world of her power.”
R. Schmidt representing the Ger-
man agricultural council said: “I
have no fears about America.”
Waldemar Muller president of
the Dresden bank said:
“Unrestricted submarine war will
cause the wholesale Hight of neutrals
from the war zone. Their newspa-
pers will abuse Germany but they
will soon tire. The chief danger is
the United States but that danger
will be less in proportion if Germany
operates decisively and ruthlessly.
America of No Aid.
“Bitter feeling in the United
States after the war is not worth
considering because if Germany suc-
ceeds she can dictate terms to as-
sure favored treatment for herself.
If on the other hand Germany throws
away this opportunity the passive
approval of the United States will
be of small practical value.”
Dr. Salomonsohn. director of the
discount gcsellschaft said on the
f>econd point:
“I recognize the possibility of a
war with the United States but I am
loathe to throw away so desirable
a weapon on that account. As a
banker I realize how disastrous
America's entry into the war would
be but I insist that a ruthless war
is the only chance to defeat Great
Britain and obtain a form of peace.”
Although the experts differed as
to the prospect of war with the
United States none of them advised
against the U-boat war on that ac-
count.
Un the third question on all the ex-
perts agreed that the internal situa-
tion demanded a drastic reYnedy.
GEDDES IS OPTIMISTIC.
linking of Merchantmen Less Than
During Restricted Campaign.
By the Associated l^eM.
LONDON Feb. 2.—" The subma-
rine is held.”
Thus in four words Sir Eric ।
Campbell Geddes first lord of the 1
admiralty summarized the results!
of the first year of Germany's un- ;
restricted submarine warfare which
began February 1 a year ago.
A measure of its failure he add-
ed to the correspondent was found
m the fact that the sinking uf mer-
chant ships now had been reduced to
a level lower than before Germany
cast aside an restraint.
“I am an optimist regarding the
U-boat war.” said Sir Eric. "The
submarine restrained and unre-
strained has betci met and has not
proved invincible. 1 am inclined to
think that now since 1 made my last
public statement ‘we are sinking
submarines as last as Germany car.
build them’ my curves’ are all good
and I cannot foresee any way in
which the situation can be changed
except for the better.
“The sooner the better is now the
allied navy’s aim. But — you sec
• nere is still a but —and it is a very
important one—we must have more
ships if we ar« able to turn this Ger-
man failure into a positive victory.
“The submarine destruction of the
world s tonnage is not a big per-
centage of the whole but the sub-
marine destruction still exceeds the
production of ships and meantime
tn© demands for tonnage are in-
creasing by leaps and bounds.
Ships Still the \ ita! Need.
•‘America's participation in the
war must inevitably make large de
mands on merchant shipping. Yet
we must continue at the same time
to keep up with the demands of the
allied armies and with the vital
necessities of civilian population.
“ ‘Ships and yet more ships’ is
■till the most important corollary of
the war. How far can we rely on
American effort for these ships? J..
have no doubt the United States will
go its utmost but I want to urge
again tne vital importance of its
merchant shipping program.
“When we first asked the United
Sattes for ships there was a quick
response. In no way can the United
States help mere than in building
ships. Is sho succeeding? Is she
bringing her best brains and great
Human Organs
Made Into Pictures
X-RAY OUTDONE.
(By L. W. Bower M. D.)
A recent issue of the British
Medical Journal explains a re-
markable discovery of Dr. James
Scherer and describes a new’ pro-
cess of photography by which an
abscess of the liver or the kidneys
can be photographed from living
patients. This will be invaluable
because so many people suffer from
kidney disease and if it can be
recognized in time they no doubt
can be saved and life prolonged.
Such photographs as can be ob-
tained by this new process will
show* whether there is a blockade
in the intestines or not whether the
kidneys are normal and able to do
the great burden put upon them.
Unfortunately what the liver
can’t take care of passes on to the
kidneys and the intimate relation
between the two often causes a
disease of the kidneys. One of the
poisons retained within the system
is uric acid in excess.
Death would occur if the kidneys
did not w’ork day and night in
separating poisons and uric acid
from the blood.
The tdanger signals are back-
ache depressions aches and pains
heaviness drowsiness irritability
headaches chilliness rheumatic
twinges swollen joints or gout.
This can be avoided by stimulat-
ing the kidneys to increased action
and because of its tonic effect on
this organ I would advise any one
tr purchase Anuric (which is to be
haa nowadays at almost any drug
store) and take it three times a
day together with a pint of hot
water an hour before meals. By
getting rid of the uric acid you can
prevent and cure rheumatism gout
and the pains and aches due to
this uric acid stored within the sys-
tem.
I have found in practice that
Anuric (double strength) is more
potent than lithia and in most cases
it will dissolve the uric acid as hot
iwater does sugar.

energies into it? It is a worthy con-
tribution to our great cause. 1 hope
she is.
“Meanwhile we shall not be idle.
Great Britain* is straining every re-
source to inunch every ton of which
she is capable. Wo are at the pres-
ent moment building merchant ships
at a higher rate than ever before in
cur record before the war and be-
fore 1918 is over we shall be build-
ing shipping of all kinds at a rate
more than double the record year.
But a g r eat deal depends on Amer-
ican effort and I should greatly re-
gret if anything I might say re-
garding the failure of the German
submarine warfare should be con-
strued as minimizing the need for
‘qjiips and yet more ships.’ ”
Turning to the progress of the
campaign against the German sub-
marine. Sir Eric again referred to
the satisfactory trend of Mie curves
to which he has referred in several
of his speeches.
All “Curves” Satisfactory.
“All the curves continue to bend
in the right direction” he said.
“The destruction of allied shipping
decreases rapidly the construction
of merchant shipping increases
steadily and the sinking of German
submarines steadily rises.
"There is still another curve
which 1 keep. I never told the pub-
lic about it. but it gives me person-
ally much satisfaction. It is the
curve representing v.hat 1 call ‘the
factor oi exaggeration’ in the Ger-
man official statement of U-boat
results. Let me explain that curve
briefl*.
"Every month since the unrestrict-
ed submarine war began the Ger-
mans have issued an official state-
ment of Uie total amount of ton-
nage alleged to have been sunk dur-
ing that month. Every month that
statement comes to my desk and is
compared with the actual total as
shown in our records. It would only
be natural to expect some differ-
ences for submarine commanders
would naturally include in their re-
ports a few ships which they tor-
pedoed but wjiich we afterward
saved.
“But we found there was a great-
er difference than could be explain-
ed in any such way. We found from
the very first month that there was
a certain ‘margin of exaggeration’
that is the German admiralty al-
ways added a few thousand tons for
good measure.
“This margin of exagegration was
t airly small in the early months of
the unrestricted warfare when
things were going along with a cer-
tain degree of success for the U-
-1 cats. It showed no particular in-
crease through April May and June
when the sinkings were highest. But
with the lessening of the German
successes of July August and Sep-
tember the margin of # exaggeration
t^gan to increase. The German ad-
miralty found itself obliged to falsify
its returns more and more flagrant-
ly in its effort to persuade the Ger
man people that the U-boat war was
a continuing success.
Lies an Official Confession.
“So 1 kept a record of continued
increase in percentage which marks
the German margin of exaggeration.
And this curve 1 believe is a fairly
accurate reilection oi the German
official mind and an official confes-
sion that the U-boat campaign is re-
garded as a failure by its own lead-
ers.”
Sir Eric referred to the German
claim that the decreased sinkings
were due to the decrease in the I
number of ships sailing.
"That is false” he said. “Sailings
and arrivals are just as numerous 1
today as they were a year ago.
There are just as many targets for
the submarines in their zone of
operations but our improved defen-
sive measures leave them fewer op-
portunities to make bullseyes.”
The correspondent referred to Sec-
retary of War Baker's statement uf
a few days ago concerning the Ger-
man plan for concentration against
American transports.
"There is no doubt” said Sir Eric
that the U-boats will bend every ef-
fort to attack American transports
and if you are to bring across the
Atlantic the number of troops that
you plan there will be losses arfd
probably heavy ones for life saving
in mid-Atlantic is not easy.
"I do not doubt that Mr. Baker
had good grounds for his statement
but we have no evidence to sup-
port the view that the Germans at
present are withdrawing their Ü-
boats in preparation for a concen-
trated attack against the American
lines of communication. All our
evidence tends to show that there
are just as many submarines out
now as every and that they are just
as ambitious and active.
No Withdrawal of U-Boats.
“The steady decrease of merchant
sinkings (1 du nut refer to the
abnormally good weeks of this
month) is not due 1 am convinced
te any withdrawal of submarines
from the shipping lanes but to the
steady improvement in the allied
methods of dealing with them. They
get fewer chances and they meet
with disaster more frequently.’’
The subject of disasters to Ger-
man submarines led Sir Eric to the
defense of the British policy of en-
tire secrecy regarding the sinking
of U-boats.
“Our policy of secrecy” he said
"has I believe much to do with
steady deterioration in the morale
of the German submarine crews. The
exception made in the case of the
U-boat whose crew was captured a
few weeks ago by an American de-
stroyer is not one which we propose
tu follow.
“We know from prisoners how
much this policy of secrecy wears on
the German U-boat sailors. Every
month there are German submarine
crews which fail to return to their
base and of which nothing is ever
heard.
“The German sailors’ morale falls
under the acid test of this oft-re-
peated experience ot suspense. Once
or twice this failing in morale has
come to the surface in strikes or
mutinies but more often it is only
evidenced by certain reluctance and
timorousness and generally lowered
efficiency.
“The comanders of U-boats are
not what they used to be. The aver-
age submarine is in no way equal
in efficiency to the U-boat of a
i car ago.”
U-Boat Is Glorified.
AMSTERDAM Feb. 2. —The semi-
official Norddeutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung and other Berlin newspa^
i ers publish articles on the miniver-!
sary of unrestricted submarine war-
fare. They glorify the U-boat as a'
"weapon which has achieved 1
strategic and moral results par-
ticularly against Great Britain in its
world position.”
German Prisoners Taken.

FREEZING SATURDAY
NIGHT BUT PLEASANT
SUNDAY IS FORECAST
Fair Weather and Rising
Temperature Aire to Fol-
low 3 Cold Days.
N
Though the weather throughout
the country continues’ extremely un-
settled a “fair Sunday” of rising
temperatures is promised for San
Antonio according to Maj. Allen
Buell of the local weather bureau.
The temperature probably will fall
to freezing Saturday night but will
go upward pleasantly Sunuay.
Friday was another culd night and
Saturday morning found the tem-
perature down again to 23 this I • -
ing the third morning in s iccession
that the temperature had fallen
that exact stage. While there is
nothing unusual about the tempera-
ture dropping to 23 degrees in Jan-
uary it is rare for a cold wave to
show such lack of variety and such
persistence as the one just conclud-
ing. The temperature generally drops
rapidly reaches its minimum by the
second day and then begins a climb
upward. In this instance however
the minimum cold persisted steadily
for three days and as the cold was
accompanied by a fine mist suc-
ceeded in coating the town with thin
ice by Saturday morning.
Though the present “spell” shows
signs of breaking there were no
indications of settled weather here
on the weather map Saturday morn-
ing. The “high" had drifted east-
ward but a portion of it still hung
over the southwest arid influenced
the temperature while the storm
area covered practically all the cen-
tral portion of the United States and
had brought unsettled weather to all
that region.

have seen a German machine come
down. It fell within the German
line but by the way it tumbled
from the sky there was no mistak-
ing what had happened to its occu-
pants and cheers and yells arose
from one end of the line to the
other.
Today the whole American posi-
tion is bathed in white. Fog has
frozen to trees bushes poles wires
and the ground. In some places the
ice coating is nearly an inch thick.
Food Ample and Good.
All the men apparently are well
satisfied with the food. Two meals
a day are always served and some-
times there are three. For break-
fast the men frequently get a large
bowl of oatmeal as the principal dish
while at dinner there is beef or some
other meat and vegetables. Supper
sometimes brings bacon corned beef
hash or canned salmon There is
always good white bread made from
American flour and plenty of it.
The American regimental head-
quarters just back of the line is es-
tablished in dugouts under the ruins
of houses long since knocked down
by German shells. It is never known
when the enemy may again take a
notion to throw a few shells into tHe
town so the American commanders
were determined their headquarters
should be well protected.
Within a certain radius of the
front line every member of the
American force is now required to
wear his gas mask at an alert posi-
tion and never be without his shrap-
nel helmet.

AMSTERDAM Feb. 2.—Berlin
evening newspapers just received
here state that Wilhelm Dittman So-
cialist member of the Reichstag was
arrested when he attempted to ad-
dress a crowd in a suburb of Berlin.
Deputy Dittman’s name was linked
last October with those of Deputies

LONDON Feb. 2.—A national
demonstration is being organized in
Germany as a protest against the
arrest of Herr Dittmann an Ex-
change Telegraph dispatch from

Hugo Haase a Social deputy ap-
pealed to Chancellor von Hertling
to obtain the release of Herr Ditt-

LEADERS PUT IN ARMY.
Government Measures Show Alarm
Felt at Growth of Strikes
LONDON Feb. 2.—The curtain of
the German censorship has been
drawn over the latest strike devel-
opments but the summoning of a
number of strike leaders for military
service the prohibition of meetings
threats to suppress by force of
arms if necessary any disorders and
the dissolution of the Berlin work-
men’s council because of its claim
that labor shoulo be represented in
the peace negotiations apparently
show in a measure the alarm felt by
governing circles in Germany at the
growth af the movement.
One of the leaflets which was cir-
culated in Berlin and helped to
cause the strike in Germany has
been obtained by the Amsterdam
correspondent nf the Daily Express.
The leaflet calls the government’s
expressed desire for peace only a
mask and declares the only way to
end the misery and the wholesale
massacre is to overthrow the pres-
ent government and establish a re-
public The leaflet says further:
Mass Uprising Is Urged.
“Only by rising en masse only by
a general strike that shall put a stop
to all industrial activities and espe-
cially the war industry only by a
revolution and by wresting from the
h^nds of tyrants a democratic re-
public for Germany can a halt bo
called to the international butchery
and a general peace be brought
about.
“Workers. Lot Us prepare for an
Immediate stfif-necked and deter-
mined action en masse. This is the
only way to end the torments and
misery we ar- suffering.
“The battle cry must be ‘dowh
with a separate peace/ Delay no
longer German workers men and
women alike but act and act with
vigor sparing none. Above all we
must not delay. Now is the time to
strike a formidable blow.”
The same correspondent sends an
excerpt from an editorial in Vor-
waertz which appeared again Fri-
day after being suppressed. The
Vorwaertz says:
Would Avoid Civil War.
“We do not want the disruption of
Germany or Civil War. We want
the government to understand the
stand point of a majority of the peo-
ple. It is a simple quarrel between
those who want peace by might and
those who want peace by under-
standing.”
The Cologne Volks ZeiUing de-
nouncing the Socialists says:
“It is evident that the social
democracy considers the time has
come to realize its program by acts
of violence. It wants to tear the
reins from the hands of the govern-
ment and decide the destinies of the
country itself but the Socialist lead-
ers are not yet the rulers of Ger-
many.
• “The men to whom the fate ot
the country is entrusted in these
grave hours are at their posts and
are determined to show everybody
who does not know ft who the rulers
of Germany are."

stag be summoned to discuss the

from Copenhagen Friday says.

AKURD DECLARES STONE.
America’s Aims But Not American
Money Led to Strike.
WASHINGTON D. C. Feb. 2.—
“Perfectly absurd” was how Sena-
tor Stone chairman of the Senate
foreign relations committee today
characterized the report that he was
concerned in an organization to fo-
ment strikes in Germany.
“It is absolutely without founda-
tion” he said.
"The repots might have been cir-
culated in Germany to head off the
unrest and strikes now going on.
Over there the United States is sup-
posed to have money to burn and
it might be that the government
would circulate such reports.”
That circulation in the enemy
countries of President Wilson’s ad-
dress also may have contributed to
the rumors was suggested by Sena-
tor Stone.

but in Poland Germany and Aus-
tria. Tiie Bolsheviki leaders havj
had the President's addresses trans-
lated into German. Polish Czech and
Slavish and circulated them among
the peoples which Germany domin-
ates. Their purpose I understand is
to stir up sentiment so as to force
Germany at Brest-Lltovsk to enter
into the peace the Bolsheviki de-
j ire.

LONDON Feb. 2.—The Bolsheviki
government according to the Petro-
grad correspondent of the Times has
adopted another method to compel
foreign governments to recognize it.
The Bolsheviki are refusing to per-
mit British and other foreign em-
bassies and consulates to draw on
sums deposited in Russian banks un-
til the Bolsheviki government is al-
lowed to have complete disposal of
Russian funds in the bank of Eng-

ruble is now valued at approximate-
ly 10c.
The ambassador reported to the
State Department at the time the
banks were closed in Petrograd the
difficulty he was having in drawing*
money that had been placed to
his credit and that he was attempt-
ing to establish a credit at Vladivos-

vision with regard to the “Black But-

WOMEN TAKE SAILOR'S.
' PLACES.
Lively interest has been aroused
in the ranks of women workers by
the announcement a women’s royal
naval service will be established to
relieve men of various shore duties
connected with the navy says the
London Globe. Mrs. Katherine Furse
has been appointed director of the
new service.
The women will wear a distinctive
uniform. It is not intended for the
present at any rate to include in the
service those now serving in any of
the admiralty departments or other
civil establishments under the admir-
alty. Mrs. Furse will be responsible
under the second sea lord for the
administration • and organization of
the service including the control of
the members when off duty.
The new branch of women’s work
will have its own separate adminis-
trative organization and in all prob-
ability the recruiting will be con-
ducted through the labor employ-
ment exchanges under the ministry
of labor. The naval women have al-
ready been nicknamed the “Wrens.”

of the women’s army auxiliary corns
who are familiarly known as the
"Wacks.”

men are iniurea than anv other class of

cidents are due to electric shock.

FINNISH SOLDIERS
CONTINUE SUCCESS
AGAINST REVOLTERS
Trotsky Reported to Have
Threatened to Send Troops
to Aid Red Guards.
STOCKHOLM. Feb. 2.-—The latest
reports from Finland indicate that
th© government troops under* Gen-
eral Mannerheim are making good
progress toward the south defeat-
ing detachments of the Red Guards
and the Russian Bolsheviki on their
way. The taking of Krinisdenstad
was of especial value as it gives the
government troops access to a har-
bor and helps to solve the problem
of feeding the troops.
The Helsingfors correspondent of
the Copenhagen Dagensnyhedea re-
ports that all the shops the large
restaurants and the banks of the
capital are closed and the inhabitants
arc fleeing from the city by the hun-
dreds.
The Finnish legation today re-
ceived a telegram saying that the
Russian soldiers and Red Guards in
Helsingfors had arrested a number
of members of the Diet and also sev-
eral bank directors.
The dispatch adds that Leon Trot-
sky the Bolsheviki foreign minister
and Nikolai Lenine the Bolsheviki
premier have threatened to send
three regiments to Viborg to crush
tho white guard. The dispatch also
stated the Russians are leaving the
Aland Islands refusing to remain
there despite the promise by the
Red Guard of an increase in’wages.
