EFFECTIVE ToRPEDoEs.
The Improvement Most Needed Now
In Naval Warfare.

~
In Naval Warfare.
The next great improvement In ma
val warfare will be on the lines OF
ways and means Of repeating what the
Romans did-ways and means of
charging upon and graphing with the
mighty war vessels of an enemy to
sink them with the short sword of
high explosives. 81. .5.s
There is no one thing so much need
ed in naval warfare at the present
time as more efficient means Of
reaching battleships and cruisers with
a sufficient quantity of high explosives
for their destruction. In other words,
there is more imperative demand for
improvements in torpedoes and tor
pedo boats than in any other branch
Of the naval service. The effective
range Of the modern high power gun
is now about five miles, and it is the
range Of the guns that determines the
distance between the lines of battle Of
modern fleets, and the feet with guns
Of the longest range has the opposing
feet at its mercy.
a little while ago the automobile
torpedo was thought to be valuable
adjunct to the armament Of tho mod
ern battleship, but the range of the
guns has now been so increased that
such torpedoes become a useless in
cumbrance because of the shortness
Of their range. Notwithstanding the
fact that their manufacturers have
done everything possible to perfect
them and to increase their speed and
range. Their3range is necessarily lim-
tied to that attainable by the charge
Of compressed air they are capable Of
carrying. $ 3~ .% * =.
During the past few years the pres
sure of the air has been increased from
1900 pounds to the square inch to $3.50
pounds to the square inch and the
weight of air from 60 pounds to 1870
in the eighteen inch torpedo. and still
the maximum range of the eighteen
inch torpedo Is only from 5000 to $500
yards, practically about one-third Of
the range of the high power guns which
determine the distance apart Of the
lines Of battle, and the maximum rate
of speed Of this torpedo Is about IS

man has done more to help along his
less fortunate fellow citizens. He
was here when this was an Indian
country, when freighting to the Black
Hills was done by way Of Bismarck,
and when life on the frontier was
full Of privations and dangers. He
has spent the best years Of vigor-
our life as frontiersman and seen
his. children grow to manhood and
swomanhood upon the North Dakota
prairies, and is a splendid type of the
citizenship that brayed dangers to

For a. number of years he has been

careful medical treatment may re.

that has come to his adopted state,

a pioneer in making safe the way for
