Dec. 27.—Democratic j leaders of the House began to assert eoni lidentiall.v today that they will regain a sufficient number of congressional dls- ■ triets in the next election to assure them ' a majority in the House. They are counting on heavy gains in New England. New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Oklahoma, with scattering help from Illinois, Maryland. Missouri. Michigan and ■ other Mid-West and Far West States. I “Why should we not make these gains land win?” Representative W. A. Oldfield of Arkansas. Democratic whip of the ; House, demanded today, reviewing the ' political situation. “With Secretary of War Weeks dei manding a return to Cannonism by the House, and Representative Ansorge of New York condemning and seeking to tine ns felons members of the Senate and House who come from the agricultural districts and support legislation to aid the farmers, it Is reasonable to expect the body of voters to oppose and rebuke such suggestions." The belief was expressed by Oldfield that the Republican tariff now being framed will help the Democrats. High sugar duties which are tinder contemplation will fall on the consumer, oldheld said, while tic.- American valuation plan would hi! the big importers. Olhcr industries and interests will be unsettled by the tariff, he said, and the reaction. in his judgment, will prove beneficial to the Democratic party.

A prosperous looking gentleman walked into the dining-room of the Hotel Astor, quietly sat down at one of the tables by the window and ordered luncheon. He opened the comic page of the J|ew York American and became deeply engrossed in the cartoons. “Who is that fellow?” asked one of the nun at the next table, where several theatrical and literary stars were assent bier. "His face is familiar and yet I can't place him.” Suddenly Wilton I.ackaye, the actor, arose. “I'll bet that's George McManus plus a mustache. I ll go tt'k him.'" "Pardon me. tun I speaking to Mr. Me Mantis?" he inquired as he stepped over to the dignified stranger's laid*’.

The “mystery ship,” or “U boat." as it also was nicknamed, was ! a make believe tramp steamer which. In reality, was armed to the teeth.

When they approached the “tramp’s” bulwarks suddenly dropped, while belching guns poured deadly tire Into the virtually helpless enemy.

The U boat was the nightmare of German submarine crews. The United States Navy also had “mystery ships” In the war zone. Who knows the name of the inventor of the modern submarine, now the crucial hone of contention at the conference? By most authorities the honor is awarded to an undergraduate of Yale named David I’.ushnell, who fashioned his famous ••turtle" in 1777. The chief inspiration of Bushnell’s work was a natural hostility to Great Britain, then at war with the United States, for Bushnell’s “turtle” was Invented to sink British warships, /hen anchored off the American coast, thus cutting off the communications of George Ill’s array.
