PRESERVE NATURAL RESOURCES

Presumably the most meritorious
piece of constructive craftsmanship
initiated by President Roosevelt is In
the conservation OF the natural re
sources through the concerted action
of national and state authorities, This
action is appealing to congress for
official recognition. The president
asks that a fund be provided for Its
maintenance and the continuance of
this work-a work so far conducted
at private expense The sum asked
for is fifty thousand dollars and this
is less than one tenth Of the amount

SENATORIAL PLUMBER

While our congress is increasing ap-
propriations for big ships under a
war alarm with Japan. that country
is reducing its naval appropriations.
The amount this year appropriated for
the navy is greater than the expense
OF the entire government two genera
tions ago, but the worst feature of
the increase is that not more than
half of the appropriation is used for
the improvement of the navy; n large
proportion of it goes to useless and
inaccessible navy yards-inaccassible

light draft wooden vessels and the

PROGRESS OF THE SUBMARINE
The Literary Digest says:

The Literary Digest says:
Submarine vessels have continued to
grow In size and military Importance.
in spite of sctbacks. accidents, and the
skcpticism OF the older naval men, we
are told by Robert Ii. 5Kerett in the
Iron Age
A few ye0rs ago, says the writer,
they showed all the hall-marks OF
engineering inexperience. but since
then they have progressed rapidly, and
today the best of them are thoroughly
seTyiceatle units in a scheme Of sea-
board defense This is partly the
consequence of general progress in the
mechanic arts. but the major part is
attributable to scientific analysis OF
accidents. Under.wato boats have
actually been the cause OF only mod
crate loss OF life but the narrowing
circumstances of submarine accidents
have given them prominence In our
minds. France has the largest mum.
ber OF submarines, and Great Britain
comes next: but according to Mr., Skier
rett, the recent achievement Of the
small Italian submarine flotilla puts
all other performances quite in the
shade. He says:
THE Italian flotilla consists prin-
cipally of four boats of only 22O tons
submerged displacement. which were
launched successfully in 1905. 1906,
and 1907. and which have taken part,
as they were completed, in the naval
maneuvers of the past three summers.
TO the satisfaction of the. authorities,
1T was not until this season, how
ever, that all four Of the boats were
able to maneuyer as unit, and 1t Is
putting it mildly in saying that what
they did during the month of August
just gone was startling. Part OF the
scheme OF the naval maneuveTs In.

the Adriatic and the Mediterranean
coasts. and the Glauco, Narvalo,
Otaria, and Squalo were called upon
TO make unassisted the run of nearly
1900 nautical miles from Venice TO
Spezia, The little boats accomplished
this without mlshap and with remark
able celerity. and arrived upon the
scene of the grand maneuvers with
their crews In splendid condition and
able to take their part in the conclud-
Ing operations in connection with the
combined fleets. In this latter stage
the little vessels were again handled
by their officers and crews with so
much skill that the king summoned
them aboard the flag ship Vlttorio
Emanuele and personally congratulate
ed both the commanders and tho en-
listed men. One Of tho circumstances
leading TO this rather unusual honor
was the especial performance Of the
| Glauco, the first Of the flotilla com.
pleted. which in broad daylight was
able to actually hit the battleship
Saint Bon twice. despite the vigilance
of picket-boats and the watch aboard
the big ship before rising to the
surface and showing her nearness.' =
