HAYASSTATESMAN
Or. Bartholomew Thinks Late Secre-
tary Of State Was Greatest
Country Has Had.
GIVES VIEWS IN LECTURE
In Discussing William Pitt, Augustana
Instructor Pays High Tribute to
American.

According to the opinion of DR.. E.
f. Bartholomew of Augustana college,
John Hay, the late American diplomat
and secretary of state, will go down
in history as one of the worlds great
est statesmen, in the class of Glad
stone and Bismarck. The greatness of
his achievements and his genius in
discerning the future are not yet fully
realized by the American people. said
the professor. but future developments
viii demonstrate the greatness of his
works.
Dr. Bartholomew made his remarks
in the course of discussion on the
achievements of William Pitt as prime
minister of England
Like Pitt and many another great
statesman, John Hay planned and car
ried out his great policies quietly and
almost unnoticed and then retired
when his work was done. Few knew
that it was his hand that was guiding
the course of the nations policies.
Yet, during that time, he was laying
the foundation for the greatest poll
teal and industrial progress in the ma
tons history.
Greatest of Statesmen.
These policies have placed our ma
ton at the head of all nations of the
earth. and it is greatly due TO thu.
genius of John Hay. He will go down
in history as the greatest statesman
this country has ever produced. He
will be looked upon in his relation to
the United States as Gladstone was to
England and Bismarck to Germany"

An attack by such a torpedo would
be directed at the upper part OF a
ship. A small aeroplane, Nr. Ber-
Iinger says. will float the torpedo.
1t could carry a charge OF coriite
ranging from $50 to $50 pounds. A
ship could not move fast enough to
escape It's attack. he says. The only
protection would be rapid fire guns
and 4: IS not thought these could
riddle many OF the planes effectively.
The superiority claimed for the
aerial torpedo over shot and shell
lies in the fact that they would not
require unwieldly guns for their pro-
lection, and that their aim would be
more accurate.
The cost of construction would be
30 small that several thousand could
be built for tho amount that covers
the cost of battle ship. A speed

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 17.-The
War Department Is being besieged
by Inventors of aerial torpedoes, the
complement or the aeroplanes in
warfare. The inventors are both
foreign and domestic. They are
given patient audience by the war
officers. The strategists in the de-
par.ment realize that the aerial tor
pedo is a logical sequence of the
aeropiane In warfare. The class OF
inventors who have taken up the
tdea OF the aerial torpedo is OF a
character that gives promise OF the
best reSults.
Emile Berliner, OF Washington. a
we'll known inventor. Is one OF the
designers OF an aerial torpedo. A
former employe OF the Krupps in
Germany has another.
MT. Berliner is now In Europe,
but he cabied to his laboratory in
Washington yesterday to begin the
construction of a torpedo along lines
OF novelty a1d originality claimed
In his invention.
The Berliner invention is evolved
from the present fish torpedo into q
winged engine OF destruction. The
Transformation IS effected by the ad
dlion Of small aeroplanes and bJ
