In the DISCUSSIONS which have taken

the prevailing tendency toward in
crease in size has affected submarines
as well as battleships. and the latest
one to be authorized is to have ton
mage of 500. 1t is now realized that a
seagoing submarine Is impossible on
a small displacement and that the op-
GRAFTON of the moderate-sized boats
are very restricted. Consequently
either the size of the boats must be
enlarged or else they must be rele-
gated as substitutes for mine fields or
for forts. OF the submarine as a sub
stitute for forts very little has been
said, but there seems to be something
in the idea. 1t is conceivable that the
presence of a submarine in harbor
would be as likely to keep raiding
cruisers at distance as would a fort.
Submarines are mobile while forts are
not. But destroyers might be able to
render them useless, which they GER
tainly could not accomplish with forts.

The Democratic platform is being
written personally by William Jen-
nings Bryan, who will without doubt,
be he nominee at the Denver conven-
ton, but he has not yet completed his
task.
The anti-injunction plank is all but
ready, and that will bear the stamp
of approval of Samuel Gompers, pres

Labor. James c. Dahlman, national
committeeman from Omaha, will pre-
sent this plank to the convention.
Norman E. Mack has just arrived
here after a close conference with
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Mack declares that
Mr.. Bryan's platform will be satisfac-
tory to all elements, and that it will
be ratified.
Roger Sullivan, Tom Taggart and
Urey Woodson conferred with Mr..
Mack after his arrival here, and after
this conference word went out that
the platform is all wool and a yard
wide, so far as the opinion of the
leaders is concerned.
There will be no money plank in
the platform, says Mr.. Mack, nor
will there be any demand for govern
ment ownership of anything. Rail-
