Successful Submarine Test,

A startling and extreme test of the
submarine torpedo boats is that which
took place on Saturday night, when
Rear Admiral John Lowe, Lieut.. Arthur
Macarthur, jr, and four enlisted men
spent the night inside the Fulton, at the
bottom OF Great South bay, with all
means OF communication with the shore
cut off. Sufficient compressed air was
carried in reservoirs aboard the boat to
supply all needs of the small crew during
the long period of immersion. and there
were no Tears expressed that the trial
would prove unsuccessful.
The test has not the merit Of comnIoto
novelty. On the contrary, very many
years ago there was a precisely similar
test made with a much cruder boat do
signed to operate under water Tho
test in question was made n, +bo
Thames. The boat remained at tho
bottom OF the river for the snec;fied
length of time and was then raised -

gases had not worked according tc
theories. The incident in question haf
considerable to do with creating s
nreiudice against submarine boats
which survives to this day in the British
navy.
In the case Of the Fulton, however ,ith

probability OF such an occurrence was
reduced to the lowest minimum. Vessels
OF her class have passed beyond the ex-
perimental stage. They have been fully
tested under service conditions. They
have been taken under water and trav-
eled considerable distances, returning to
the surface at the will of the commander.
The problem has been fairly solved, and
further experiment will now be confined
to improving the efficiency Of such
vessels. After all the tests made, it
does not appear that the experiment of
remaining all night under water in the
Fulton can be classed as extra hazard
Gus. On the other hand, it will have
considerable value, as demonstrating be-
yond all question the entire practical
bility of using such vessels as engines of
defensive war.

more have been set, and this is much
cheaper and better than trying to get a
solid post set in rocky ground. In a
depression crossed by wire a tree is
Surer than an anchored post. | should
not want a great number Of trees along
the line on account of the extra amount
Of shade, but it is good idea to set
them wherever one sees that they will
serve a good purpose. Too often such
work is put off because the pay seems
far in the future, but the trees can be
used in very few years if the wire is
stapled to stake that Is tied to the
tree.

A Washington dispatch says Presi-

and will probably so recommend in his
message. On this subject he differs from
Secretary Gage. who will make no recon-
mendation, but the treasury department
will not oppose the law, but will en-
deavor to have it changed in some par
ticulars with view to better enforce
ment. The changes suggested are of a
trivial character and relate mainly to a
more definite description of what Chi
nese labor is and the classes that are to
be excluded. 1t is not believed that any
changes can be made which will be alb
solutely effective in preventing Chinese
from being Struggled across the borders
from Canada on the north and Mexico
on the south, but provisions for more
inspectors may be made in new law.
