ATTACK AND DEFENSE

Rap,d and surprising results are be-
ing obtained by the makers OF heavy
ordnance projectiles and high explo-
sives. and the manufacturers Of armor
Mate and the builders Of ships OF war
and fortihcations are kept busy devils
ing protective appliances to counter
net the destructive inventions OF those
who are working so constantly and ef-
fectively to break down everything OF
a defensive character. The recent tests
of the new twelve-inch naval gun
have resulted in some remarkable per
formances, emitting the gun to rank
ahead of any Of the twelve-ineh gums
thus far made. With charge Of $50
pounds Of smokeless powder. giving q
pressure OF sixteen and a-half tons per
square inch. the gun gave muzzle We
locity OF 1854 feet. Professor Alger,
the naval expert, says this is the high
est velocity ever attained by twelve
inch gun, the record thus far ranging
from $500 TO 1900 feet, With an $50
pound steel tipped projectile, the big
gun would pierce any armor ever
made. 1t is the first Of forty guns
which will go on the new battleships
and armored cruisers. It now devolves
upon those men OF keen and practical
mind who are working just as con-
stantly to solve the problem Of defense
to provide something which will with
stand a proiectile fired from gun
giving it such a terrible velocity, and
at the same time. enable the combat
ants to work within the range OF iire-
When they do this, the balance will be
restored and exist until those who are
working along the line Of attack take
another advanced step. calling for q
further exercise OF the ingenuity gol
the great minds which work on the
side OF adequate defense. II is a great
and bioodless contest between mind
and mind and matter and matter
which goes on in time OF peace to pre-.
pare the nations OF the world for time
OF war II is a battle fought out IN
the mind OF man, in the workshops
and on the proving grounds, and will
continue for ages to come unless the
world reaches that high plane where il
will disarm itself entirely and whert
all disputes between nations will b,
settled by arbitration-a much-de
sired but most unlikely event.

is reposed in the trustees, and every

Paul Kruger, the former president of

BETTER THAN A
SAVINGS BANK
The Savings Account Of a Dis
tinguiShed DeIaWarean S5
Years Ago

The benefits to be derived from al
Life Insurance policy, and the depositl
OF the same sum paid for premiums I'M
q savings bank, raises a question which
is frequently discussed by people in
terested in the subject OF life insur-
ance.
II q man at age OF 30 deposits in a.
bank each year the sum of $2O2.02 at A
per cent. compound interest for ten
years, he viii realize at the end Of thir-
ty-five years the sum of $6,47l.5s
A death claim paid recently by The
Mutual Life Insurance Company OF
New York proves that Company to
have q decided advantage over the
bank, as the following illustration will
show:
In June, 1865, the Company issued
Policy No. 36,SS6 for $4,000 on the Ten
Payment Life Plan, age at issue "a, an
nual premium $202.20.
The insured had always paid his pre-
miums in cash, allowing his dividends
to accumulate, with the exception that
he surrendered accumulated additions
amounting to s620.11, but there still re-
manned in dividend accumulations
which was paid at death, STATS, OF
$456 more than total premiums paid
which added to S62011, SURRENDERED
additions, shows a return over all pre-
miums in additions alone Of S1,076.11
besides the face of the policy, making
the total profit to the beneficiarie'
over cost, S5,07611. To this add The
premiums paid, and we have the tCta
OF $7,70S11, which is $606.03 more thar
would have been received had th'
money been placed in a savings bank
A result unparalleled in any other com
pany in the world.
During all these thirty-ive years h
has had an insurance on his life 70
$4,000 with accumulated dividends.
Had the insured died after payinl
his first premium of S202.20 the com
pany would have paid to his heirs tn
sum OF $4,000.
Whereas, if he had put his s2022O il
the bank and them died his heirs woul
have received only that amount
The following is a statement of tn
policy:
