AND SUN-TELEGRAM

"Woodrow Wilson will win this war for us if

he is left alone." Ex-ambassador Gerard.

U-Boat Failure Lloyd George's statement on the failure of U-Boat activity is the first official utterance on this menace that has contained an element of cheer. Last April saw the submarines doing tremendous damage to the shipping of the Allies. In June the losses fell to 320,000 tons, and at the present rate the July and August loss will not exceed 350,000. The premier explains that methods o handling the submarine are becoming more successful and that Great Britain is in no danger of being starved into submission. Germany had staked her success on the ability of the submarine to starve the Allies and to impede their lines of communication. Failure to succeed in both is hastening the day when the Allies will win.

Why Be a Killjoy? Suppose every time you growled about something you don't like, the whole town took up the chorus. Wouldn't the growl be a terrific and disheartening one? Do you believe that you would howl as much as you do, if your neighbors and the whole block took up the chorus ? Some of us are so nearsighted that we believe our own troubles are the only ones in town. We fuss about trifling things in our own family and forget that Widow Brown has six children to support, and yet is able to keep on smiling all day long. Those of us who sit around the house demanding sympathy usually don't need it half so much as the ones who are fighting grimly and bravely against tremendous odds to find a way out. There are few homes in which there are not difficulties and tragedies of some kind. Why should a small percentage of the town elect themselves to be Jobs and torture their relatives and

friends with long tales of their misfortunes and trials. As a matter of fact, no one likes to hear a tale of misery. All of us enjoy a recital of victory over hardships. Troubles are universal. You find them in every residence block of the city. If you want to be commonplace, parade your afflictions before your friends. If you want to be extraordinary, bury your cares and present a smiling front to the world. The Best Man Comes to the Top Many a youngster who enters the war as a private is coming out wearing his shoulder straps. And many an officer who wears the straps now will be retired before America has been in the war many months. We will be no exception to Great Britain and France. Efficiency and ability are going to win. The man who lacks them will be found out soon. England's experience is a good proof of the old saw that the best comes to the top. The re-organizations which she has carried out in all departments, the number of heads that have come off, the number of "hitherto unknowns" who have gone to the top, prove the truth of the observation. Premier Lloyd George proves the point. He is exemplifying it every day. The man that can do things is getting the executive's job, and the man who has the title and not the brains is getting the discharge. Recently Lloyd George elevated Eric Geddes to the post of First Lord of the Admiralty. . He did not pick a distinguished and aristocratic politician for the job, but took a square-jawed engineer who had gotten his start in the United States. Geddes knew railroading from the bottom up. He proved it by handling traffic under war time stress in England, by straightening out the congestion of the French system, by handling the war shipping from the Isles to the continent. The appointment of Geddes to a high post in the British cabinet is illuminating proof that the world rewards men who knows and can do. Many men believe they know and will tell you they know, but fall down miserably in their daily tasks. The man who can do his daily work better than his associates, who has eye on the job ahead and trains for it long before a vacancy exists, is the man who will gain the promotion.

Reichstag to Be Given Voice In Peace Talk, Press Says, As Result of Michaelis9 Speech

BERLIN, (via London). Aug. 24. The liberal press points out as a significant feature of Tuesday's session of the main committee of the Reichstag, Chancellor Michaelis' statement that the government would not take final action on the papal peace note without consulting and advising with the committee. This is being received as a pledge that the government henceforth Intends to collaborate with the Reichstag factions in dealing with the chief problems of the nation's foreign policy and that it would continue to work 1n harmony with the committee in the direction of achieveing a peace of reconcilation and mutual understanding. Agent Plan Favored. The suggestion that a smaller subcommittee of the main committee be organized for the purpose of acting as confidential agent between the government and parliament is meeting with approval. It Is also said to have the sanction of the chancellor. The smaller unit would enter into intimately confidential relations with the government for the purpose of sug

gestion and paving the way to general

deliberations in the main committees

executive session.

Active champions of parliamentary reform! are inclined to look on the

progress thus far recorded as giving

promise of. still greater headway in

t lie desired direction while the con

servative advocates of democratized relations between the government and

the Reichstag cite the modest advance

as proof of their assertion that par

llamentary reorganization must be reached by easy stages and that the

new plan must be given opportunity

to familiarise itself with German po

litical soil before it can take firm

root. Note to Be Discussed.

While the chancellor's Informal

statements and specific reference to the papal peace note are in keeping with expectations, it is not unlikely that the Vatic ans message will prove

the basis of an extended debate on

war aims during the committees present sitting, at which the issues of parliamentary, reforms are equally certain to be discussed. The ultraconservative and pan-Ger

man press continue to view the papal I ote with plain rpoken suspicion and

warn against offering the Reichstag coalition parties on opportunity to in

fluence the government's attitude. In this connection the Deutsche Zeitung

V S I We are permitted to behold the three great international powers, Rome, social democracy and Judaism working In complete unison to bring to shame the German victory for which hundreds of thousands have bled and died. The National Liberals are lending effective aid. It would s-eiu that Chancellor Michaelis does not vet understand how to manage this Reichstag." Reichstag Will Dictate. Vorwaerts, the socialist organ, sa.ys: We do not yet know how the government Intends to answer the pope s note, In all its details but we do know that the reply will be in accord with the wishes of the Austro-German government and the German Reichstag majority Between these two factors, as far as discernible, there is complete h.v .nd with that harmony every1

German government wold have to reckon. "If the majority remains intact the German answer to the papal note will prove an effective support to the pope's peace action and as such will meet the wishes of the German people." One of Tuesday's notable developments was the official announcement that the national liberal party would join the coalition group in its deliberations reserving to itself the right to take an independent attitude on questions of the government's foreign policy.

Farmers Ask $2.50 Minimum For Wheat

SPOKANE. Wash., Aug. 24. A telegram urging that $2.50 be fixed for the minimum price for the 1917 wheat crop to the farmer at primary markets was sent to C. S. Barrett, national president of the Farmers' Union and a member of the government wheat committee, by 125 representatives of Farmers' Unions of Washington, Oregon and Idaho, who met here today. It was urged that low yields, increased costs of production and the cost of re-seeding justified that price. About 75 percent of the wheat growers and 100 co-operative warehouses are represented at the meeting.

NEW TIME RECORDS 12 hours 957 miles 24 hours 1898 miles

Traveling farther and faster than any human being has ever traveled on land, sea or air in 24 hours, Joe Dawson in a stock Chalmers Speedster Chassis has smashed all Speedway records by covering the astonishing distance of 1898 miles in a twice-around-the-clock race against time on the Sheepshead Bay Speedway. The old twenty-four-hour record was 1819 miles, held by a Hudson. Chalmers bettered this wonderful mark by 79 miles. The old one-hour mark of 77 miles, also made by a Hudson, the Chalmers bettered by she miles. The 100-mile record, also held by a Hudson stock car, is 80 minutes, 21.40 seconds. Chalmers covered this distance in 8 minutes, 11.23 seconds less time. The 12-hour mark of 923 miles made bya Hudson was bettered by the Chalmers which ran 957 miles in 12 hours 34 miles farther. The contest Board of the American Automobile Association has approved and accepted these performances as official records. The trial was made under its supervision and was timed with the automatic electric timing device.

Great as was the performance of the Hudson in establishing such wonderful marks, the achievement of the stock Chalmers Speedster chassis was all the more w onderful, particularly because of its motor piston displacement of 224 cubic in. This test of endurance isconclusiveevidenceof the economy of the small, powerful Chalmers motor. 1898 miles in 24 hours that is approximately the distance from Chicago to San Francisco. In the first hour the Chalmers covered 83 miles; in the twenty-fourth hour over 81 miles; and for the entire distance the average was 79-112 miles per hour. Any engine that can travel at this terrific speed day and night for 24 hours on a day that averaged 90 degrees in temperature and without the slightest mishap is certainly an engine to marvel at. For sheer endurance, for ability not only in speed but in sustained speed, this performance is without equal in history; and yet it is a regular stock Chalmers engine. Come and see the Autumn and Winter Chalmers there are eleven of them.
