can pilot a car through tho various
stakes und turn where desired, tlicy will
be qualilled as experts, and as such

MUST HAVE FLANDERS COA
German Navy League Wants It for Fu
ture Ilase. Agaiiut L'ligluml
While Count von Hcrtllng continues
to repeat that Germany has no idea of
extending her territories in the west by
means of forcible annexations, tho Ger
man Navy League, in a circular recently
received ill London, insists upon the Im
portance of tho coast of f landers as tho
haso for German operations against
Kngland In tho next war. The circular
su)s:
it Is nlonc the .-oast of Flanders
that tho road passes to London, the
heart of Rngland. and the only Utigllsh
port on the east cosst which has hither
to hardly lost any of its Importance be
cause It cannot bo put nut of competi
tion owing to Its splendid docks and the
deusltv of the population. But the whole
sea traiiic tnrougn tne i nannoi to tne
Thames is exposed to flank attnek by
our submarines on tho coast of Flanders.
It would not be impossible to send sub
marines from tile Gormen coast to tho
Channel, although they would have to
overcome considerable difficulties. But
It would be pretty hopeless to triake a
raid with destroyers, If 'our destroyers
had to cover the whole course from tho
mouth of the Kins along the Dutch
coast j they would be deprived of the
possibility of effecting a surprise, nnd
the prospect ot success would be greatly
diminished."
The Navy League nleo explains that
possession of the const of Flanders Is
essential lor luiuro air rams on 1. UK
land. It says: .
"It Ih obvious that our aircraft can
not do without the cooet of Flanders
for their attacks upon Kngland and
also for their reconnaissances, posses
sion of the coast means an extension of
the effective range of both our military
and our air forewj.pur najwi jj; forces,

: tho edict handed down by the Dauphin

ot tho primaries, even though they voted

The court held that the parly enroll

last fall holds good for tho coming pri

voted for In November. Vare holds
otherwise and rapports his contention
with a Superior Court decision, which
rules that no voter Is a Republican un

candidates in the party column.

SALARY INCREASES
COMING UP TODAY
Bills Before Committee May
Boost City's Payroll by
Many Tbousands
More than forty hills providing for
salary Increases nnd new places will be
disposed of by Councils' finance Com
mittee before tho closo of today's ses
sion. If the measures nrc reported
favorably and are passed by the end of
May tlm municipal payroll will havo
been enlarged several hundred thousand
dollars annually.
Most of the requests for salary In
creases are backed by statistics show
ing that higher wages are being paid
for the same class of work by private
corporations and by Government enter
prises. Tho high cost of living Is urged
as n reason for the increases. Most of
tho demands are made by men not af
fected by the Governments desire to
stop municipal enterprises during the
war.
A number of members of the finance
Committee are known to favor cutting
down tho present largo number of
I" places and UBlng the money thus ob
tained to gram increases to men wno
nro absolutely needed. So far, however,
no one has openly advocated an aban
donment of places that play h part In
the calculations of ward leaders at every

Instances, nro back pf tho demands for
Increases and new places. In a few
Instances the"new places nro asked for
on the ground of necessity, to relieve

plicable to but comparatively few, ac
cording to eome of the ocmmltteemen.
With a primary election only a few
weeks off, the Increase demands are
thought to stand aj better show than at
any time In thetpast, and for that
reason thoso back of the various mea
sures will mako a final effort today to

ask annoying questions, for they knew .
that the circus was In town and, fur
