Torpedo Attachment a Success;
MaUaL Officers Are Iubizant
Uncle Sam Now in Possession of Best proiectie of
Kind in World as Tests of Davis Invention
Demonstrate.

Naval officers are jubilant over the
success OF the experiments made this
week in Hull Bay, near Boston. Of the
new gun attachment 10 torpedoes in
vented by Lieut.. Com Cleland Davis.
L. :. n. Because Of the remarkable Te-
suits obtained. they have little doubt
that the new weapon will ne adopted by
the Government, and that steps viii be
taken 20 begin their manufacture on e
large scale as soon as possible
One reason. and perhaps the principal
one, for the warm welcome with when
the new machine has been received by
the service is that the officers see I'm
il a weapon which. because of its in
creased destructive effect, viii more
than counterbalanCe the advantage
which Japan recently secured by step
ping in and contracting for the entire
output of the improved Whitehead tor
pedo for the next year
Because OF the lack Of SPECIFIC apprO-
Uriations the American navy was unable
to contract for more than 200 Of these
torpedoes, which are the most formida-
bic invented up to date. Japan, how
ever. promptly devoted 100000 ito the
purchase of every torpedo that the
Whitehead Company could turn out
and they have a capacity Of about 500
torpedoes a year-and the United states
will have to wait until Japau's order
has been filed before Il can secure more
tEan a smaH proportion OF its contract
With the Cleland Davis invention, the
navy. believes that it viii have the best
projectile in the world, and because cI
it's greater effectiveness, the officers
think THAT its possession and use "lh
more than eqUalze the fact that our
navy has fewer torpedoes than Japan
and other powers.
Puts On Finishing Touches.

Davis has invented. II is gun at

the manufacture of destructive agencies.
Before the introduction Of the separ-

could fulhn its mission of sinking a
ship. But, as was shown in the resent
experiments when the monitor Florida
was fred at, a ship can now keep afioat
even though her bottom has been pune
