ming into danger zone about 100 yards
wide, one on each side of the zone ana
the third down the middle of it. AS
may be inferred, the possibilities of a
hit under such circumstances are enor-
nous. Another proposed apparatus SUI
perheats the compressed air before 1t
enters the engine. This is most neces-
sary, because when the compressed air
is freed it expands, producing low
temperature that reduces it's energy.
Still another scheme substitutes tur-
bine machinery for the present recipro-
eating engines. This would probably
make it possible to make an 500 yard
run at the rate of forty knots an hour.
That also would We a great achieve
ment.
The British navy has the honor of
being the first possessor of a torpedo
destroyer. This boat was completed
and tested in 1898. It's trials were so
convincing that all naval powers made
haste to provide themselves with as
many as could be obtained, and both
American and European builders have
had no lack of orders.
In the light of recent observation it
is plain that the value of torpedo YES
sells as schools of practice and training
cannot be overestimated. That the
United States possesses a seaworthy
fiotilla of torpedo destroyers has been
demonstrated by the recent voyage to
the Philippines of several of these craft
The trip was made in about four
months. The low speed was maintained
to husband the coal supply and also to
make the voyage less rigorous for the
men. 1t is indeed a severe school, the
last place in the world for laggards.
In the matter of provision for torpedo
boat instruction the United States gov
eminent is somewhat deficient, but this
is shortly to be remedied, and the les
sons to be taught by the torpedo serv-
ice will hereafter form an essential part
of the jackieS education.

nestle engagements, which in Mrs.
Fairbanks case must have been unuSu-
ally insistent, she has found time to
identify herself with most of the intel
lectual and social reforms of the day.
AS an illustration of her popularity
with her sex may be cited her election
to the presidency of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. her vice
presidency OF the Junior Republic and
her prominence in many. other similar
organizations. Mrs. Fairbanks has
been the presiding officer of so many
bodies requiring administrative ability
that she has become one of the clev-
crest parliamentarians in the country.
There are five children in the Fair
banks household, and they have con-
tributed their part toward the charm
of the domestic ensemble. In the or
der of their ages they are as follows:
Adelaide. wife of John Wesley Tim
mons, ensign in the United States
navy; Warren c., who recently married
Miss Cassidy of Pittsburg and is sec
rotary and treasurer of a typewriter
company; Frederick c., who is a grad
uate of Princeton and a student at the
Columbian University Law school;
Richard, now at Yale, and Robert, a
pupil at Phillips academy, Andover,
preparing for Princeton. Both the
daughter and oldest son are alumni of
the Ohio Wesleyan university, and all
of the members of the family take
great interest in the welfare of that in
stitution. They attend the alumni
gatherings regularly, and Mr.. Fair
banks is one of the university's trus-
tees.
The Fairbankses and McKinleys were
close friends. Natives of the same
state, members of the same religious
body and having a large number of mu-
tual acquaintance, it is not difficult to
understand how they were drawn to-

Mr. Metcalf first began to take an
active part in politics in 1898. In that
year he received the Republican nomi-
nation for congressman from his dis
trict and was elected to the Fifty sixth
congress. He has been twice re-elect-
ed. Mr.. Metcalf is very popular at the
White House and is a close personal
friend of ex-Secretary Moody. Mr..
Metcalf at the time of his appoint
ment was a member of the ways and
means committee.
William Henry Moody, late secretary
of the navy and now attorney general,
vice Philander c. Knox who will enter
the senate as the late Matthew Stanley
Quays successor in December, has an
nounced his intention of retiring from
public life at an early date.
Mr.. Moody was born at Newbury,
Mass, Dec. %, 1853. He was prepared
for college at Phillips academy Ando-
ver and was graduated from Harvard
in 1876. He is a lawyer by profession
and was district attorney for the east
ern district of Massachusetts for five
years. He was sent to the Fifty fourth
congress to fill vacancy from the
Sixth district and also served as n
member of the Fifty fifth, Fifty-sixth
and Fifty-seventh congresses. In 1902
he was called to the secretaryship of
the navy.
Mr.. Moody's acquaintance with the
president is of many years standing,
and the vigorous ex-secretary is man
after Mr.. Roosevelt's own heart. He
has been sharer of many of the pres
ident's active recreations and is al
ways persona grata at the White
House. 1t may be taken for granted
that Mr.. Moody will remain in WASH

persuade him to postpone his retire.

cient means of launching torpedoes,
hardness and some seaworthiness.
These essentials have been modified to
embrace increased seaworthiness and
diminished speed. To attain these re-
quirements the boats are long, slender,
as lightly built possible and low in
the water. On small torpedo boats the
tubes are pivoted on deck on the fore
and aft midship line, while on the lar
ger boats they are placed as near as
possible to the edge.
Modern torpedo boats are still of four

Encouragement of what have been
known as minor types must be under
taken, and speedily In this process the
first item which demands consideration
will be the torpedo boat destroyer. If
the various craft devoted to torpedo
warfare are still to be denominated as
auxiliaries, it is evident that the pri
mary place among them must be given
to the destroyers. AS the matter stands

El1lII1IIITWIlS naval authorities were
not inclined to pro-
nounce against them as a class, it is a
fact that both torpedocs and torpedo
boats had ceased to occupy the posi-
sion they once held in the naval arrna-
nlent of all great powers. Interest had
for some time shown n disposition to
center in the modern battleship as the
most promising lighting agent at sea-
and the vast treasures expended in the
construction of these monsters were
believed to have been put to a good
use However, the recent performances
of the miniature annihilators along the
northeast Asian littoral have answered
completely any question concerning the
terrible effectiveness of this species of
attack
Nor is this all that the japanese ac-
tivity off Port Arthur has demonstrat-
ell. It has left unsettled whether or
not similar result could have been
reached by the navy of any other ma
ton If one is persuaded that such is
the case-that the wonderful little

The only man who is capable of doing
with this craft what was intended to
be done-there is still, of course much
warrant for the apparent desuetude
which threatened torpedo boats But
such conclusion would be humiliating
and will not be accepted.
The one thing which has been shat
tered beyond all hope of rehabilitation
is the invulnerability of the modern
battleshiD. That idea is as effectively
demolished as are the cars battleships

time of their launching until the mo-

boats carried by men Torpedo
boat destroyers are similar to ordinary
torpedo boats. the difference being in
their larger size and heavier armament.
They vary in size from ESQ to 500 tons.
The torpedo boat proper carries very
few and very small guns Seagoing
boats are from 100 to ESQ tons. Harbor
boats, capable of going to sea in good
weather, are from thirty to 100 tons.
Portable boats are from five to fifteen
tons. The speeds are in somewhat sim
liar ratio, the destroyer being fastest.
The defense against these stealthily
moving dangers consists of picket
boats, torpedo nets, rapid firing guns
and searchEghts. Although it was
known that it was possible for a tor
pedos craft to sink modern battleship,
until the demonstrations in the harbor
of Port Arthur it was not accounted
probable. The accurate knowledge fur
nished by the repeated performances
of Admiral Togo's fleet has resulted in
tremendous moral effect on the ma
lions of the world. Up to 1903 the tor
pedo fleet of the United States was
fully abreast with modern requirement.
With one or two exceptions, the boats
were new and averaged much larger
than those of the same class in most
foreign navies. The American destroy
ers were also much more heavily armed
than those of other nations. 1t is a
fact, however, that several of the Jap
anese destroyers, built at the Elswick
works in England, are larger than any
completed destroyer in our service.
Much progress has been made in Japan
toward the perfection of the details
which contribute so owerfully to the
success of torpedo warfare. Under the
clever touch of the foreign taught Jap
anese workmen many improvements
have been developed which will not be
made public until the close of the war.
1t is a fact also that many improve
ments have been made during the last
few years in the torpedo and its
launching apparatus, although every
effort is made to keep all such matters
a profound secret. One of the most in
genious devices is that which enables
the commanding officer of a vessel car
rying torpedoes to point his ship at the
spot he wishes to hit and then by an

do warfare was likely TO prove espe-
cially troublesome. Although the ter
rible effectiveness of the torpedo as a
naval expedient in the American civil
war was by no means forgotten, the
failure of the agent to score in the
Spanish American war did much to
discredit this form of attack. For this
reason the presence of an unusual
number of these little vessels in ia
pans fleet was at the beginning of the
war a subject of criticism. Russia also
had a feet of about 200 of these boats,

Mr. Morton was a Gold Democrat in
1896. and since then he has affiliated
with the Republicans. He was an al
ternate delegate to the recent Repub-
hcan national convention, and in that
gathering of eminent political entities
he was conspicuous figure. This
prominence was due in part to his COM
handing personality, but the fact of

for his society had its influence. So de-
cided is Mr.. Roosevelt's liking for the
big new secretary that he gave him the
choice of the honors then within the
presidential gift. Mr.. Morton did not
accept at once. To be confronted by
an invitation to exchange a highly lu-
crative railroad position for an office
yielding only $4,000 a year is not a per-
fectly agreeable situation, nor does it
unravel the intricacy of the PROPOSE
