remedy Is twofold-by preventing the

screens fitted with doors and flaps
along the route OF the powder charges

In conclusion Admiral Converse
says:
Our ships are not inferior to those
in foreign services. We have made
compromises in our designs of battle
ships because it is impossible to con-
struct perfect battleship. Such
compromises have perhaps differed
from the desired perfect ship in some
respect. but at the same time have
made IL possible TO improve upon
some existing disadvantages. and. on
the whole, the compromises, each and
all. have tended toward n nearer APP

The North Carolina has most thor

OF which the builders were more san
guine than they were over the out

all efforts to make her meet the re-
auirements imposed by the navy de-
partment officials at Washington.
Perhaps the reason of the failures
can be found III Washington. Per
haps 1t was an example OF too much

the case within the past few months.
II Is very we'll for few gentlemen
10 sit In their revolving chairs In

builders to make these theories prac-
teal The North Carolins "got
there" and would have got there"

There must also be the "get there"

experience OF warship building is
confined to books peruscd in tho
navy department are all right In their
place, We suppose. tNt what the ma
ton wants are ships just like the
North Carolina-that can get there"
when they are chasing an enemy. IL
has been demonstrated by the North
Carolina that She can make more than
her required speed and at tho same
time not one single part of her which
would lessen her fighting qualities

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds os the precs; are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On
one subject skepticism is rapidly dis
appearing. This is due TO the actual
experience of our citizens, and their
public utterances regarding them. The
doubter must doubt no more in the face
of such evidence as this. The public
statement of reputable citizen living
right at home, one whom you can see
every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.
