A aulriue net is made of wire

and the meshes are of great eiee--

along, therefore, until -it pushes its
nose into these meshes. The net
now trails along on both sides of the
submarine --pits progress revealing
the fact that something below is sup-
plying the motive powwer. Perhaps
the net suddenly stope; that means
that thehidden submarine has etop-

horrible discovery that they are
trapped --or perhaps the net has be-
come twisted in the propeller. Under
these conditions the wise "submarine
rises to the surface. It surrenders,
becomes the proper of the enemy,
and its crew are made prisoners. If
it dime net' take such action one -of ..
two. things will happen. The enemy
will wait upon the surface until the
submarine comes up, or, if it starts
moving the enemy will follow until
the inevitable _ uprising. But per -
,haps the surface commander gets im-
patient; in such a case he can let
a bomb down into the water, which
will explode when,. It tenches the roof
of the sub lartne, 'Of course, the
submerged Germans know that this
bomb is likely to drop at any minute;
the "psychology" of such a situation
tends to persuade the imprisosed
crew to surrender.

BLACK EMPIRE A GERMAN
DREAM.
The other day General Smuts made
the remarkable statement that "Cen-
tral Africa is now right in the centre
of world -politics."
Why is General Smuts anxious a-
bout the future of - Equatorial Africa ?
Beause the war has brought the sur-
prising revelation- that the African
negroes can be transfoimted into some
of -the finest fighting material in the
world. General SmutS confesses that aroused. before in: the history of the
his eyes were opened by his- East race.
African experiences. 'lie realized then It is this new spirit of hatred that
for the first time that it 'would be has led the public to demand that re-
prisals he made upon German towns
fight in a light-hearted, sporting
Indian Totem Pole.
Before people had. individual
names, the .savage people who lived
in clans or tribes referred to them-
selves in. the name iof some natural
object, usually an animal which they
assumed as the name or emblem of
the clan or tribe. These names never
applied to, one individual more than
another, but only to the clan or
tribe, so that everyone in a tribe
which had taken the "wolf" for its
emblem was known as "wolf,", says
the Book of Wondes. Later on they
began to distinguish individuals by
giving them additional names char-
acteristic of the individual, such as
"Lonely Wolf," "Growling -'wolf,"
or . other names. ' The name of this
animal was then the emblem of once
tribe. They, therefore,' placed this
emblem upon their bodies, their
h g h this,
utensils, etc: T i oug
these emblems also" became at times
:deals of 'worship, and sur they erect-
ed polee 'upon which their emblems
were engraved. The word totem is
sort of - way, although some grim a North American Indian
stories of a change there have come meaning "family token."-

Germans some such emotion as made aceuded.
all Germany. respond to the famous
"Hymn of Hate." The French natur-
ally began tp hate soon after the
Belgians. They suffered the atroe
iti�es and horrors. The British mere-
ly read of them; but glow because of
the unrestricted submarine warfare,
the sinking of hospitel ships, and the
bombardment of unfortified towns
like Foikestope, the British hating
spirit has been aroused. to .such an
extent, probably, as it 'was never
possible to organize among the Afri-
can blacks "one of the most powerful
armies the world 'has ever seen."
Commander Wedgewood said the
same thing in • Parliament . He de-
-dared that the Askaris in East Af-
rica who fought under- German leader-
ship were the "moat formic'ble for-
ces of black troop. that 1 have ever
-seen." (The term A.skaris is the East
African equivalent for Sepoy, but has
an Asiatic der'ivati'on.) For strength
and brute courage,- for .insensibility to
pain for ability to endure fatigue and
short commons, for docility `under or-
-ders, for fearlessness' of death, 'some
of the black -races of Central Africa
are almost unequalled. Commander
Wedgwood believes that a- mighty
black army could be created which
would "walk through Africa." But why
should such.an army walk through Af-
rica only?
We dimly perceived the fighting
qualities of African manhood when
eve raised the King's African Rifles;
"but Germany made the discogery far
more thoroughly and laid her plans
accordingly That she precipitated the
war before her African schemes' were
ripe- is only another example of her
many blunders; but• it must be re-
-membered. that- when she drew the
sword she calculated that Great Brit-
ain would remain neutral In. her
- view Africa could wait. Yet she did
-not neglect the African side .of her
'plans, for she looked far ahead, ae-
•cording to her wont. The British pub-
lic still fails to understand that six
weeks before the war Viscount Grev
of Fallodon and Prince Lichnowsky,
-the German Ambassador, initialled in
London a series of agreements be-
tween Great Britain and Germany,
These agreements did not relate to
the Bagdad Railway alone, for they
included conditional arrangements re-
tarding the future of portions of trop-
ical Africa which would have been of
enormous benefit to Germany. Had.
they endured, she would have been
free to organize the black peril for
her own purposes. Her aims are not
in the least economic, except incident-
ally. They are summed up in the ex-
pression matcht-politik, force politics.
She seeks world -dominion.
General Smuts told us .the essence
of the German plan, which is, to cre-
ate "a great Central African Empire"
stretching from the Indian Ocean to
the South ,Atlantic Ocean. Various
German commentators and pamph-
leteers have since expounded the
scheme more -fully for these infatuated
people - still dream of victory. and.
make no secret of their future inten-
tions. The Germans continue to be-
lieve that they will 'so manipulate
the peace as to get their colonies back.
They see visions of millions of black
warriors marching northward through
Egypt into Europe when they begin a

eminent 41140 anew; a short time
ago 'that such, repeisals would be
carried 'out, t` and, the policy ie
approved even by some of the so-
called "intellectuals." This is a
vast change indeed from the spirit
that ar imat_ed the country earlier in
the war.tri n the Kaiser was hated,
it ie true, aid some of his advisers,
partici-110y but- the general
British view was that the Germane
as people were decent folks, mucb

victimized .by.their ruler. When the
"Hymn, .of Hate"- reached England,
Homeric was- the laughter that greet-
ed it. There IS a story told of a
couple of . German prisoners who
were taken :one pight to a battalion
concert, and given prominent seats.
At the p>oper ,mbmant the master of

that ,in special 'recognition of . the two
guests the audrenee :would. now , join
in singing the- "Vim of ''Ate." This

Germans.
tProbably if a good hymn of reals
against Germany were to be written
to-daY it would immediately become,
the most popular song in England.

The author, Colonel Waddell, claims
to have discovered 'indubitable proofe
of his theory, and quotes Huxley to
the effect that ' "thecharacteriatie
modes of speech termed Aryan were
developed among the blonde " long -
heads alone." The Prussians, of
course, are • either shartheads or
roundheads.
He contendsthat in prehistoric
times there • existed a "wolf tribe,"
and that the word "German' or "Al-
loinan" means "'evoYf man." "Ger,"
"Geri," or "Germ" was the chief
wolf which attended • upon Odin, the
"all -Father of the Germans," and it
associates the Germans with the
Turanian Sarmatians, who disposed
of their dead by throwing their
corpses to the dogs. The word Ger-
man, the author 'sayer was invented
by the German people to strike ter-
ror to the hearts of ' their enemies.
The "Hymn of Hate" has a very old
Clerks Must Be Civil.
A recent pronunciamento of the
Bavarian Ministry of the Interior,
though couched in polite and father-
ly language, contains a threat to all
food sto.tek rs that unless thheeyy
treat their ceu milers civilly,
will be- ;debarred from conducting
their business in the future. Count-
less
ountless complaints about tee arrogance
of the atorekeepers, -who are vari-
ously deft—et—lilted as having become the
"lords of creation," "autocrats," and
"dictators" are' responsible for the
order. ,
The Ministry's proclamation re-
minds ail who sell food of any kind
that, because of the war and the
state of affairs it has brought with
it. they have become in -a way pu•hhe
servants: They are. no longer purely
private iadivietuals but mems of
the,communal eeonearnicIIe.
That being the ease, conies the
order,. each storekeeper must sub-
ordfnate his - own - interests to, those -
of the state. He is not allowed to
ridicule his patrons, ignore their
wants, nor. be' impolite to them.
"Accordingly," concludes the pro-
claination, "it becomes the •duty of
the communal organization to re-
move the merchant, hatcher, baker,
etc., who fails in his ditty to has pat-
rons, to' refuse 'to apportion any fur-
ther goods to him. On occasion be
maw even " be debarred from trading

rat which covers - undesirableand
irresponsible persons in business."
German Officers Hungry.
,•e.pateh from Geneva, Switzer-
land, says that Swiss officers on leave.
who have just returned there atter
nine months' service on the Swiss -
Alsace frontier, say that even- the
C e rmaxn o di' ers in Alsace and Lor-
raine are suffering from hunger, and
when they arrive at the Swiss out-
post villages are now glad to obtain
a good meal. paying any price.
Until a few months' ago the Ger-
man officers, unlike the men on, the
frontier who are always hungry, pre-
tended.' they bad plenty of food, but
their pale faces belied the statement.
Now they admit that decent food is
lacking and their Swiss officer com-
rades, though neutral, are doing
their best for the Germans, al-
though the Sim 's military authorities
prohibit any intercourse.
If this is the case with officers the
!condition of the German soldiers
=lira„' be imagined on, the frontier
where the kindly Swiss are sharing
their rations. One German deserter
said;
:' My whole company would desert.
and enter Switzerland, but we are
told by our officers that we would be
returned to Germany and then shot."
