WHEN THE GERMANS COME.
Recent German naval victories make
the world wonder what will happen
when their fleet comes nut. A writer
in The World's Work throws timely
light on the probable scheme of bat
tie. The Germans. this expert says,
will come several hours before dawn,
for when the fight begins they want
to be quite clear of the port with sea
room in which to maneuver.
Before being discovered by the
English scouts, the German fleet
would probably be able to pass the
clear zone maintained by the oppos
ing submarines and destroyers. Once
beyond that, however, the English
scouts would sight it. Then would
begin the first contest-that between
the wireless operators aboird the two
fleets. On board the first scout to
sight the German fleet, the operator
would begin to call the English ad
miral's flagship; and at the same
time, operators on board the German
ships would be trying desperately to
synchronize their apparatus and
I muss up" the scout's message so
that it could not be understood.
There would be better than an even
chance that the German wireless could
successfully interfere. In that c ise,
the scout would fly at its hi:' (.st
speed to the nearest tender carrying
an aeroplane. Off would wing an air
scout; but knowing tflant hostile air
scouts would likely b,- al,i' and that
in thick weather the f1. m·: machine
cannot be sure of finc,;: i way, the
fastest of the scolt .'Aips would
press on.
Other scouts would hurry forward
to observe the strength, disposition,
and direc'tion of the German fleet;
aboard :h" m would be men trained
to rec,: !'-, from long study of plans
and silhouettes, every ship in the
enemy's fleet; aboard the English
fleet commander's flagship would be
his staff, whose members know the
efficiency in speed, armament, and
personnel of every ship in the Ger
Inan fleet. They would have charted
ind platted every possible battle
ground. As his scouts brought him
news of the progress of the issuing
fleet, the English admiral in comnei,'ld
would mark its location on his , 1,'r'
and study its formation in reference
to his own pi. n of attack.
Once beyond the clear zone the
German fleet commander would
change from cruising formation
(scouts ahead, fighting ships in dou
ble column, cruisers .nd destroyers
alongside, and tenders, service ships,
end hospital ships hel:int, each con
voyed by more destro: ": and swift
cruisers) to column, or "line ahead,"
as the English call accepted battle
formation. One behind the other, as
closely as they may safely be navi
gated (probably not more than 400
yards from bow to bow) would steam
the fighting ships. * * Then the
battle would begin.
Thus The World's Work, while all
the world wonders when the first
gun's thunders shall reverberate b-ut
the globe.
The prestige of the British navy is
sadly shaken. Only a decisive victory
can restore it. A German victory
would have immediate effect in the
United States, where dawning pros
perity depends on clear seas.

A WORD OF THANKS
The Missoulian management takls this opportunity to
thank the various judges and clerks of election for their
kindly and intelligent co-operation in collecting and for
warding the returns of election. •
Wednesday morning The Missoulian carried the election
returns for all'state, county and township candidates in Mis
soula county, with the exception of the two precincts of
Woodman and Twin Creeks, and in 'addition the results of
the balloting on the seven special measures involved from
nearly every one of the 33 election precincts, scattered
over an area of country one-third as large as the state of
Massachusetts. We believe the, returns -from no other
county in the state, of an equal area, Were so fully tabuiated
and totalled in time for" the breakfast table next morning,
as was Missoula County.
The helpful co-operation of Missoula county's election
officials made it possible for The Missoulfan force to ac
complish this result, in which every citizen of the county
was so deeply nterested.
In the same connection, we want to also.give the full
measure of credit to the telephone girls who through the
long night hours, patiently handled the hundreds of to'
phone calls that made the work possible, and to the tele
phone management, who extended every courtesy in carry
ing out the tedious task.
MISSOULA'S PART
The result of the voting in Missoula county, on the seven
measures submitted to the people last-Tuesday, is indeed
encouraging to the friends of popular government.
In this particular community, full publicity was giverl in
the daily newspapers to both sides of all the questions at
issue.
The Missoulian has long pursued the policy of giving a
respectful hearing in its columns to all parties to an issue,
whether the articles in question be in agreement with its
editorial policy or against it:
An observing public will agree that this is not the policy
pursued by some newspapers in Montana.
In the campaign just closed, The Missoulian advocated
the defeat of the Kiley boxing bill, which had been passed
by the last legislature.
The Missoulian favored the adoption of the workman's
compensation bill, the farm loan bill, the consolidation bill,
the mill tax bill and the suffrage amendment. It 'opposed
the proposition of bonding the county.
While advocating two and opposing five of the foregoing
measures, no fair-minded person will say. that The Mis
soulian did not give the advocates and opponents of each
of these measures full and free opportunity to discuss their t
side of the question in its news columns.
Without fear of challenge, we can say that the voters of t
no community in Montana had these various questions so t
fully discussed and elucidated as did the people of Missoula
county, through the columns of this newspaper.
We sincerely doubt if the people of any community in
the state went to the polls last Tuesday better informed as
to the merits and demerits of the seven propositions fn
volved, than did the people of Missoula county.
Under these conditions, it is naturally pleasing to realize
that on each of the seven measures involved, the voters of
Missoula county ratified, by very large majorities at the
polls, the editorial judgment of this newspaper on each and
every question at issue.
The Kiley boxing law they repudiated by more than 500
majority.
The workman's compensation bill they carried by more
than 1250 majority.
The farm loan bill was approved by more than 2,000 ma
jority.
The consolidation bill carried by 1800 majority.
The equal suffrage amendment was approved by 1100
majority.
The mill tax for the educational institutions was carried
by over 200 majority, this being the only county in the
state that gave a majority for the bill.
The additional bond issue for bridges was defeated by
more than 1300 majority.
Taken as a whole, the record of Missoula county on last
Tuesday, as to these matters of great interest to the people,
is one of which the citizens of this progressive community
may well be proud.
Whatever may be the final result in thel state, we take
pride in the result of the roll call of the people in Missoula
county.
A free press, uncontrolled by any special interest, is the
necessary handmaiden to real democracy, without it popu
lar government exists in name, not in reality.

The Latest Books
"The Sealed Valley," by Hulbert
Footner, a story whose scenes are laid
in a far northern Canadian province,
has a quite plausible plot and pro
vides good entertainment. Ralph
Cowdray, the man in the story, a
young physician, is sought out by a
half-breed Indian girl of great beauty,
who brings him, when he returns with
her, to the Sealed Valley. It has long
been believed ainong the miners of the
district that ' successful incursion
into the Seale lValley and a safe re
turn would make the fortune'of any
adventurer, as the valley is famed as
rich' in gold. Many legends tell of
the `futility of such an endeavor,
thodgh, and it is 'known that none
who. has tried it has returned alive.
Aside from Cowdray, Kitty, a pretty
whife girl, and Nahnya, the beautiful
half-breed, are the chief actors. The
Story's end is as satisfactoyy as all
that precedes it.-(Doubleday, Page

Is becoming a popular slogan over the state
and it now applies to lithography. The Mis

lithographing plant and is prepared to meet
all competitors, east, west or south, in quality

commercial needs, such as office stationery
and forms of various kinds.

Get away from the stiff, factory-made faces
of type and adopt the engraved product of
lithography, with its grace and individuality.
It Costs No More
For lithographed work than printing, if you
order in quantities of ten thousand and up.
The firm that uses such quantities gets litho
graphing at the price of printing and some
times for much less. Drop grandfather's
methods (he had to use printing) and join
the increasing procession of lithograph users.

teen years in South America has
made him a millionaire and though he
is able to pay off the mortgages and
ease many a pinch of penury, there
was at the tirne of his sudden depart
ure, those many years ago, an un
pleasant idea current as to the cause
of it. Even his mother and those
nearest and dearest to him' still feel
some doubt as to his innocence in the
matter. The old colored mammniy
alone seems to fe4l sure of her perfect
innocence. The reader knows from
the story's beginning, however, that
everything is to turn out well, as in
deed everything does. It would be a
hard matter for Miss Van Vorst to
write any other sort of a book. The
present one will not win distinction
perhaps as a literary achievement,
but the pleasantly tempered c'heer in
it makes "Big Tremaine" well worth
the short while spent in reading it.

RECORD-BREAKING GRAIN EXPORTS ARE
,.SIGNIFICANT
B' Robert H. Benedipt.
One of the most striking evidences
-of the advance of better times ,t the
remarkable trading in grain during
the past few weeks,
Sales of wheat for export averaged
from one to three million bushels per
day during October. During one week
they reached a total of nearly 12,000,
090 bushels. Exports for September
broke all records, for the month dvith
a total of 31,270,000 bushels. The fig
ures' will doubtless show October as
another record breaker, as sales were
limited only by supplies obtainable.
There seems to be practically no
limit to the foreign demand. Soldiers
must be fed if they are to fight, and
they eat more bread while in the fqeld
than when engaged in peaceful occu
pations.
The result of this strong demand
has been a steadily' increasing price,
with corresponding increases in corn
and oats.
The enormous sales of wheat at
high prices, coming in a year of rec
ord-breaking crops, with prospects of
a foreign demand continuing until
every available- bushel has been sold,
means that Easy street will extend
to practically every farm in the mid
dle west this year. Europe twill pay
