"WITHOUT A TRACE." The s.purlo vert-enkt" policy made fnmoua by Count Luxburt. former German minister to Arcentini, has not vanished with the pretendetl repudiation of that notorious diplomat. There is nothing to indicate that either the German ruvcrnmer.t or the (;rnian natitn was eer oppo.-etl to such a policy. An American correspondent declares that it originated, pot with Luxburjr. nor with the naval or military leaders, but with the supposedly enlightened "university professor Rroup."' He quotes a man of the highest standing in German educational circles. Prof. (Jswald Flamm, who wrote in a P.erlin paper: "If neutrals were destroyed s.o that they disappeared without leaving any trace, terror would soon keep seamen and travelers away from the danprer zone." The gentle Luxburg simply took his cue from this academic apostl? of schrecklichkeit. The German nation apparently acquiesced and still acquiesces. The "spurlos versenkt" policy has been practised for nearly a year, and is beinjr practised today, and will continue to b- practised until the l"-boat is driven from the s,t.a?- The records of -very belligerent government and most of the neutral governments, are crowded with reports of .-hips that have vanished

"without leaving a trace." Nearly all of them, beyond I question, owe their complete disappearance to the sea-

ays.ujfins. Here is an account, given by the same correspondent, that shows one way of doing it: "In the Xorth sea. after a torpedoing, a l-boat captain offered to tow the life-boits to shore. He .suggested that the boats be made fast to one another, so that he could tow them more easily. Then he attached the line of the foremost boat to the submarine and Mibmerged. pullinu all the life-boats down with him." '

I That was "spurlos eisnkt."

"Fompaied to these juestions (annexations, that of a war indemnity appears at lirst sight to he very much simpler. It is in fact extraordinarily dithcult. An indemnity which would be ade-piate simply to reimburse us our war costs would perhaps amount to approximately ::0 billions 12 billions for the war itself: live to 10 billion as an adequate pension fund for invalid survivors and dependents; the rest for the restoration of military equipment for Fast Prussia, Tsingtati.

HOROSCOPE

Trii.v. ri:n. 12. mis. This is read by astrologers as an unfortunate' clay, l'oth Jupiter and Mars being strongly adverse. It is a day in which military matters may be much discussed unfavorably and changes in commands may occur. There is a sinister sign indicating reverses or disappoin'.ments in which the United States army suffers. The stars are not encouraging today concerning large financial enterprises. Investigations and criticism seem to be presaged. These applynot only to the war but to large Corporation of every s-ort. Planetary direction in regard to food seems to for eshadow a serious milk shortage that will cause the loss of many your g children.
