those on foreign ships, which is not
the case and never was in my. mind.
Il fully appreciate the difficulties In
the way of carrying out my recon-
mendations, but hope that sooner or
later the designers will overcome
them. But if it is to be done at the
cost of less protection to the ship
prefer that no change should be made,
for 1 firmly believe that low gun
well protected is better than a higher
gun with materially less protection.
I'm view of the increased range OF
torpedoes, and therefore the difficulty
Of destroying the torpedo boats using
them, the importance of well-placed
torpedo defense guns becomes very
great, and this was my reason for
criticising our present arrangement Of
them. l admit to begin with, that I
have no scheme myself for mounting
such guns, nor have l heard any sea-
going offer suggest satisfactory one,
but I do hope that the constructors,
after hearing what we have to say on
the subject will solve the problem for
us as successfully as they have others
which at first sight seemed quite as
difficult
present conditions seem to demand
that the torpedo defense battery
should be mounted behind armor of
sufficient thickness to protect it as far
as possible from the destructive effect
Of heavy shells during action, for the
main torpedo attack will come after
disabled by gunfire, as was the case
in the battle of the Sea Of Japan; but
how can we put so much weight SO
high up on the ship without too
great sacrifice in some other direc-
ton? We demand that these guns
shall be mounted higher than others
but we must not forget that we may
be called to use them at any moment
before general battle is fought as
well as after some ships are helpless. -

the voter can prepare hfs ballot at

There she drew the folded slip OF

Strange to say, the votes were

Unhappily il was discovered by
the election judges that the wife OF
the losing candidate had voted a

ballot she thought she handed In.
Bank checks are not counted as bal

may secure votes, but they canh be
