had been authorized Hc said this
change had not been made with any
idea OF additional safety but because
greater speed was possible.
He declared that not n aInglc acci-
dent that has happened on any of tho
American Lottlcships had been due 10
the open turrCt: that all of tho ac-
cidents had originated ut the breach
OF the gun. and that the obvious re-
mcdy Is additional screens between
the breach and the ammunition charge
prepared for reloadmg.
Mr. Hale directed the witness' at
tention 10 that portion OF tho Reuterd
all article which criticized Americas
vessels for having their armor belts
bnbmerged while foreign vessels arc
constructed with the belt above the
wntcrlinc. After an extended discus
sion IL appeared that the comparison
made by Mr.. Rcutcrdahl proved Am
orican vessels loaded down for n long
VOYAGE and foreign vessels were In
fighting trim.
Figures were given by Admiral
Converse showing that tho overdrart
of any battleship In the American
navy as ON the Virginia amounted 10
only eleven Inches while n sister
ship the Georgia is nine inches over
draft
In other types the overdraft was do
clarcd TO average less than six In
chcs
South Carolina Fine Type
Calling attention 10 battlcships OF
the South Carolina type. Mir. Hale,
asked Admiral Converse IL he would
not be willing TO take his chance on
such a ship in engaging any type of
ship ailoat
Yes replied tho admiral. He nd
ded that he considered the South
Carolina type the best clnss OF fight
ing ship of any navy. Admiral
Converse supported the statement
made recently by Chairman Hulc TINT
never before in the history of the
world has there bcen such COM
pietely equipped fleet as that which
the United States sent to the Pacific.
In great detail the admiral explained
the American System of battlcshlp
construction which he declared to be
the best In existence.
II was charged In the Routordahl
~ uSic thut thcre Is dcarth OF tor
pedoes in the navy.
This criticism was met by Admiral
Converse saying that the Whitehead
torpedo was designed for use at 500
yards and that battle would not be
given now under 1000 or 5000 yards,
so that the Whitehead torpedo is use
ieas He explained 1t as "a constant
race between armor, guns, torpedocs
and NIL other equipment"
Admiral Converse concluded his
statement and Admiral Capps will be
heard tomorrow.
Senators Martin, Perkins and Cal
illnser laushingly suggested that Mr..
iteuierdahl. who IL now with the
ileet, should be set off, II conven-
lent barren island could be found In
the Pacific ocean.

this fall: He's going in his private
car and was kind enough to ask me
to go along. Your speaking of vaca-
items reminded me"
DO you mean to say, Horace. that
you could go out there and have a
s,ood time without me?''
81 thought you might like to spend
that time with your mother, as we had
planned. You see, dear, this is the
chance of lifetime, and you couldn't
go along to a wilderness like that"
1--WE had planned to go together to
mothers, but it doesn't matter in the
least. won't be happy without you
wherever l go, for we have always
spent our vacations together; but
don't let that keep you from accepting
the invitation" Mrs. Winton left the
room to weep out her troubles on her
bed, while her husband resumed
his paper as if nothing had hap
pened. She half expected him to
follow and make up as he had done
on other occasions, but presently he
went to the Office without saying
good-by as usual.
Nothing was said by either about
vacations after that till one day late
in August, when Mr. Winton came
home joyfully waving some railroad
tickets at his wife, who sat with her
embroidery on the front porch
''Luckiest thing happened this
morning." he called breathlessly. II
picked up these tickets for a mere
song, and the firm said l should take
a couple of weeks off right away
Well pack our buds and take the 4:3O
train, so as not to lose any more of
this beautiful weather. It's a little
late in the season for Parkview, but
we can have good quiet time by our
selves. No crowds and noise-just
lake and woods and beach to enjoy
I'm half wild to get started"
Mrs. Winton, who had fully deter
mined to never, never say the word
vacation again, caught the infection
and beamed at her husband over the
hasty packing in quite the old fash
ion.
