roy had unbounded confidence in the submarine as
a fighting unit. I'VE can build he pointed out to
his Government, " small submarine for only three
hundred thousand francs. And it may destroy a
Dreadnought, worth fifty million francs. More
than this, submarine cannot be destroyed by
another submarine. Indeed, the only way to destroy
of these under water torpedo boats is by auto
matte mines Thus with port properly protected
by these boats supported with all other appliances
of coast defense, it would be well nigh impossible
for hostile fleet to blockade or lombard"
AS in the motor car, in the submarine; France
takes the lead. So enthusiastic the people on
the subject that when the popular newspaper " LIE
Matin" opened subscription to raise money for
a model boat, three hundred thousand francs was
subscribed in few days for LIE Francois. The
French naval budget for 1900 planned that at the
end of 1907 the navy should have submarine
swarm of fifty-eight boats, with sixteen Others in
construction giving total of seventy-four.
Even that marvellous instrument the perscope,
whereby the human guides in the belly of these steel
whales all that goes at the surface, is the
invention of two Frenchmen, GARNER and Roma
zotte. Its principle is combination of lenses and
mirrors each at angle with its fellow The strange
craft is guided by gyroscope, backed by a screw
with reversible sides, and of course fitted with
torpedo tubes

Can't Lift a Dead Boat

their own lifting power is most serious It is
assumed that, except in cases where the frail hull
is pierced, the little of delicate mechanism
swamped, there will be enough compressed air to
however, there have been appliances powerful
enough to lift the dead weight of the crippled boat
to the surface Accordingly the British fitting
out couple of boom defense vessels the Reindeer
and the Mariner, with gear for this purpose; that
submarine that has met with disaster may be
raised high enough to enable its crew to escape
through the coming tower
Had the unfortunate British submarine AS had
such facilities fifteen lives would have been saved last
June when she sank outside Plymouth Later
the same boat was disabled in Whitesand Bay as
she was going at seven knots under water a rope

Ship Victoria When she was rammed by
the Camperdown and Vice Admiral Sir George Tryon

Again, when submarine AS got out of hand and
plunged fathoms Deep exploding as she went, Waller
saved And a third time he came up alive
out of the AS; only to volunteer further service
for his King and his country.
Terror and destruction" indeed! Well might
the French Admiral use those words in speaking of
these cigar shaped, rolling monsters with their
bewilderng and delicate gear of gasoene and cleo
trical apparatus, and their sinister Whitehead
torpedoes ready creased in the tubes, like the dogs
of war in leash, to be launched against the walls
of water rushing all sides and above the heads
of the daring crew!

propeller Another of her sisters ex-
ploded, Notwithstanding the presence
of the usual three white mice which
every submarine carries as part of its
crew These mice are on the regular
pay roll of the navy, and are intended
to give warning by their squeals of
any escape of gas.
In these disasters escapes almost
miraculous in their details are recorded.
Take the case of the AS, in which fif-
teen men were drowned like trapped
rats. Her coxswain was W. Waller,
petty officer of the first class. This
man bears charmed life if ever the
term applied to anyone. He was one of
the few survivors of the doomed battle

Third Plunge Was Her Last

THE French submarine Lutin left Bzerta in Tunis,
fine October morning for plunging expert
ments The third plunge was her last. At depth
of hundred and thirty feet she refused to come
up, and we know no more. She went the way of
her sister, the Faradet last year at the entrance to
the port of Sid Abdallah, also in Tunis. At the
moment of punging, Commandant Rotier of the
Farfadet noticed that of the doors not prop
erly closed. He rushed to do this but was too late.
The submarine plunged to her destruction; as did
the British Al near Portsmouth, and the AS off
Queenstown.
Sailors view these things with horror Roest-
vensky's men utterly demorazed in the North
Sea by the thought of lurking submarines.
Fortunately they are few and untried require only
a handful of men, made up of those daring spirits
always hungry for sensations.
No less authority than Sir William H. White,
ex-Chief Naval Constructor of Great Britain, deals
gravey with the element of doubt about the sub
marine. In dealing with them, he says, "one has
to face the unknown. Their singular FORM small
reserve of buoyancy, exceptional conditions of
stability, and capacity for total submergence
differentiate them from all other types of
vessels, and introduce and difficult conditions.
This caution so characteristic of the British, has
given the French tremendous lead in submarines.
For they agree with Captain Mahan that these
mysterious craft perform every duty of the torpedo
boat, with the additional advantage that they
out of sight and under water. At the same time the
French naval engineers realize that the ideal SUBJ
marine, at any rate at present, is an 1mposslbllty

A slender life line, joining row of low

note and Comment

What Lee County did for Amend ment No. s was plenty, even il. 1t did carry in the State. You can bet on old Lee always doing the right thing politically. She also went for license by a large majority. -Marianna Cou- rier.
 Just why the Courier should feel elated that it's county voted against the proposed amendment and for license we fail to see. However. Lee County deserves to be commended for its consistency. Good schools and "red flicker" cer- talnly won't work we'll together.
 The statement comes from the auditors office that 6S per cent of the amount allowed will be paid to each Confederate pen- sioner in the state. The reason that each person does not receive the full amount allowed IS due to the fact that there Is not money enough to go around, notwith- standing the fact that the pension fund has been materially incredS- ed by an increase m the tax levy. It begins to look as if abuses will creep into the state pension sys- tenn the same as 1t has under the general government.
 The Republicans are not get ting very much comfort from the Maine election held Monday, the returns showing Democratic gains all over the state, notwith- standing Secretary of War Taft and Speaker Cannon made speech es in the state and all the power ful influences of the na tional Re- publican machinery were exerted to their utmost. The Republi- can candidate for governor was elected by plurality of less than 5000 the smallest ever given a Republican candidate III Maine. Two years ago his plu- rality was nearly 27,000. Con- gressman Littlefield's plurality of of 4000 two years ago was redue- ed to about 1000. Of the cities in the state all but two were car ried by the Democrats, and the Democrats gained eight state senators.
 The farmers of Washington County should begin to agitate the question of general stock law so that when the general as- sembly meets our members will have their back bones Stlffened to the extent that they will secure the enactment of such law. Quite a number of farmers have mentioned the matter to The News, and all are in favor of 1t. It could be made optional just as the present hog, sheep and goat law. and after all the people then would have the say-so and no legislator need be safeerd" to tackle the question i'll that shape. When our present stock law was first enacted there were murnur- lngs of diseontent and d1ssatls- faction, but after thorough trial all are pleased with II and II Is pretty sate to say would not now care to do without it We believe the same would be found to be true of a general stock law, and if our representatives in the general assembly can be given to understand that the people want 1t We believe 1t will-be their pleasure to labor for its enact ment.

WORLDS CONGRESS.

London, Jan. 6.--Sir Edwin Corn
wall, chairman of the London county
council, has issued to the press for
publication a proposal for an interrla-
tional congress Of representatives of
capitals having a population Of more
than 10000 to meet annually for the
discussion of municipal methods. Sir
Edwin says he is encouraged to make
this suggestion BY the good results
following the recent exchange of
amenities between the London county
council and the Paris municipal coun-
Gil. He also proposes an exchange
Of pupils between the schools controlled
by the municipalities holding member
ship in the congress. Several leading
Americans, to whom the proposition
was submitted expressed themselves
convinced that the great municipalities
ofthe United States would not be slow
in recognizing the value and import
ar1ce of such congresses. A circular
letter has been prepared, which will be
sent to the mayors Of all cities of more
than 500 inhabitants in Europe as
well as in the United States and
Canada.
