TO SHOW TUGS HOW.
Vigilant Will Get Jointed
Smokestack as EXAMPLE

To show the local tugboat owners that
the stacks of their tugs can be hinged
and lowered so that the boats can pass
under the bridges without difficulty, the
District authorities have determined to
have the stack of the police boat Vigi-
liant equipped with a lowering device.
plans for which have been prepared by
a local firm of nachinists.
The stack 5 raised and lowered by a
system of gearing working on a quad
rant, TO which the upper part of the
stack. the part that lowers. is attached.
By this device il is said that the stacks
can be raised and lowered with ease.
The Vig:lant like the other small tugs
plying about the harbor. has had her
stack shortened SO that she can pass
under the bridges without the necessity
OF opening the draws, but when the new
device is placed on her stack the per-
ton that was removed to make 1t short
er will be replaced. As practically all
the tugs affected by tho stack-lowering
law have already had them shortened ii
is hardly probable that any of the OWL
ers will go Ia the expense Of INSTALLING
the device that is to be placed on the
Visilant.

The Naval Academy Not Involved

To the Editor Of The star:
\ great many Annapolis graduates are
getting pretty tired of the frequent al

inquiry, as if this had anything what

Academy at Annapolis. Nd. Due to the
misleading mtimationS contained in some
of tile comments. the great majority of
the reading public have been led TO be-
iieve that the recent Sutton inquiry re-
ferred To events that occurred a / the
academy and that the officers and stu
dents a that institution were the princi-
pal actors i'll it, Such is not the case
at all OF recent years there has been
established on the government farm near
Annapolis. but entirely apart from the

ants of marines. who have just been

These Young men are. most OF them, APP

officer of the United States Marine Corps.
While there obey have no connection
whatever with either the official staff
or the instructors of the United States

Emile Berliner Directs Manufacture
of Winged Insect"

Emile Rerliner of this city, who is tray
cling in Europe with his family, has or
dered his laboratory on Columbia road to
Immediately proceed with the develop
ment of new weapon for naval war
fare 1t is the evolution of the present
fish torpedo into winged insect of de-
struction. the aerial torpedo. by the adj
dtion of small aeroplanes and by chang
ing the marine propellers into aerial pro-
pelers.
Provided either with horizontally re-
volving motors or special horoscopes for
keeping on even level, such torpedoes, 1t
is claimed, could readily be launched
from either ship or shore at speed OF
100 or more miles an hour and at cost
So small that several thousand could be
built for the same amount as now covers
one battleShip.
An attack by aerial torpedoes. il is eX-
planned. would be directed against the
upper or exposed parts of the ship, and
even if not producing such vital wounds
as the submarine. would be apt to de-
moralize men and officers by its ferocty
and It's mass of destruction.
1t would take only small aeroplanes
those interested say. to fly an aerial tor
pedo weighing. including a charge of III
pounds OF cordite, not more than IN
pounds.
zach torpedo could be carefully tested
beforehand for individual errors it is
added. and long as the horizontal
plane of propulsion could be maintained
one out of every five directed against a
ship would be hit, because the latter
could not move fast enough to escape a
skillfully executed aerial attack Rapid
fire gun defense might riddle some of the
aeroplanes without. however, stopping
their flight, and to hit the torpedo Itself
would be a mere chance.
The superiority OF the aerial torpedoes
over shot and shell would lie in the fact
that they would not require heavy, I'M
Wieldy guns for their protection and that
trained torpedo engineer than is now the
aim of the heavy guns. If the projec-
ton were slightly downward the weapon
would skim over the water like t1at
stone thrown nearly horizontally from
the shore. and while slightly diminish
ing its speed would the more surely reach
the aim
