When the enemy commenced his submarine attack on our mercantile marine by sinking a number of ves- sels around the British Isles, fears were expressed in various quarters that Germany might concentrate her PAIN IN TE BACK i IRELAND'S POPULATION..

Some prophets almost agreed with the most optimistic hopes of the enemy that by this means the power of this country to materially assist in the prosecution of the war on the Continent would gradually be strangled. So long as the enemy could find work to do around our own islands, where the concentration of vessels homeward and 'outward bound afford- ed them much better prospects of ob- taining a target, it was extremely un- likely that he would venture further afield unless special considerations rendered it desirable to do so. Mon- ster submarines, with a large radius of action, might easily be constructed, but the Atlantic, on which routes might be altered, is not exactly an ideal place for a submarine to operate with maximum efficiency. According to the prophets mention- ed above, the enemy was going .to use his latest submarines to paralyze our mercantile marine at sea, while the older boats were to operate nearer our shores. These older 'boats, toge- ther with some newer ones, have in- deed been operating around our coast, Not What Prophets Expected. It is the navy that has driven the enemy farther- away. He has been forced to act in new waters where the dangers are, for the present, not so great. The causes bringing about this change and leading to the hostile attacks on our vessels in the Mediter- •ranean are not exactly those which. the prophets anticipated. The North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea are rather unhealthy quar- ters for enemy submarines, and it is possible that they are seeking more open waters in which to carry on their operations in the hopes of avoiding.. the consequences usual to work in home waters. Another matter which must not be forgotten is that the 13a1- kans has now become a principal thea- tre of operations, and, therefore, the traffic and opportunities in the Medi- terranean have been greatly increased by the continual passage of our trans- ports and supply vessels.

So remarkably reticent are we about our own modest efforts that few people know how much we have done. The railway company we have been visiting has been making munitions for more than a year in connection with one of thelarge arma- ments firms, and it now makes noth- ing else in its extensive locomotive works. The other large railway com- panies are• doing the sante thing, and some of thein are even making guns. Ours has not attempted that, but it is making several other things, and some of them in large quantities. It has ceased building locomotives. We are fast overtaking arrears, and I have little doubt that eventual- ly we shall be found to have turned the tables on the much -advertised enemy.

With our trans- ports the British navy operates, and the methods so successful in the North Sea can be repeated. Submarines must work from bases to which they peri- odically return. A study of the map shows how this necessity limits their chances of reinainin free from the g attentions of our protective measures. Again, they can only find targets along certain routes, and for that pur- pose the submarines must frequent the tracks of the steamers using this highway to the East. That this is a course of danger is obvious. Alto- gether it seems likely that matters will be just as lively in the Mediter- ranean as in the North Sea, and the enemy will find that the percentage casualties among their pirates will soon prove that the game is scarcely a paying one. The Ancona Tragedy. It has been generally assumed that the submarine which perpetrated the dastardly outrage on the passengers of the Ancona was a German vessel. No doubt the wish is :father to the thought in the minds of a good many people who are now waiting to see what President Wilson will do; but there is, at the title of writing, no firm foundation for this surmise. It is not only likely but probable that the Austrian naval authorities have been constructing some modern submarines since the commencement of hostilities. These vessels could easily be com- Iileted by this time,, and they would no doubt embody everything that Ger... many has learned by trial in the North Sea. Perhaps it is to those humanitarians among us who are al- ways so reluctant to believe evil of any ono that we owe the belief that the Austrian flag covered a German Submarine, but we have no reason Whatever to expect that the Austrian �lavy will act in any different manner? to the paramount partner and tutor when it comes to the destruction of women and children and the sinking of ships incapablo'of any defense.

Further, the national railways derive $3,000;000 to ..4,000,000 from tourist traffic an- nually. In 11312—which may be taken as an acrage year --there were 3,585 hotels for tourists in Switzerland, em- ploying 43,000 people, whose salaries exceeded $5,000,000, while the amount of capital invested in the hotel indus- try reached the sum of $227,000,000.

He writes: "The dictum has gone forth that it is the duty of the medical students, with the exception of those in their fourth and fifth years, to forsake their profession and volunteer for combat- ant service.
