WOULD MAKE CRUISERS
INTO MOTHER" SHIPS
Constructor Watts Plan to
Utilize the Obsolete CoIum-
bia and Minneapolis.
.FT1.. F~FNn s~WV'

1t would be hard to find a more Strik
ing illustration of the great change that
has taken place in naval design within
the past few years than will be afforded
by the conversion of the trple-screw
cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis into
mother ships for submarine boats. The
two vessels were constructed to destroy
the commerce of an enemy on the seas.
Consequently they were filled with boil
ers. engines and machinery designed to
make them speedy enough to overtake
even the fastest ocean liners But the
mercantile marine progressed in speed
more rapidly than the navy, and within
few years after they were launched
the twenty-knot "pirates,' as the two
cruisers were called. were really outclass-
ed compared with the swift boats on the
transatlantic service.
Chief Constructor Watt therefore rec
commended to the Navy Department, and
so to Congress. that the Columbia and
the Minneapolis he turned into mother
ships He points out the vuInerability
of the vessels, which are too weak to
stand before any warship and too big for
police work, which is better done by
small SunbOats.

Long Continued Correspondence.

NO statement is obtainable as to how
the correspondence began. but it has
probably been going OH since before the
November elections when the President
and Col. Roosevelt both earnestly sought
the election of the republican candidate
for governor Henry L. Stimson.
THAT the views of Col Roosevelt on
public questions, whether national or
world wide, would be welcomed by the
President is well known to intimate
friends of the two men, and that Mr..
Taft. while acting always upon his own
motion, would give serious consideration
to the ideas of the former President, is
also undisputed

President Kept Silence.


1t is matter of unwritten history now
that when the country generally was
gloating over the black eye the ex-Presi-
dent got in New York and elsewhere in
the November elections, not word of
sympathy with these expressions came
from the White House. Men unquestion-
ably made use of them in talking with the
President; they told him that it was
Roosevelt and not Taft the country had
rebuked; that with Roosevelt a down-and-
outer. everybody would rally to him, and
made many similar assertions. The Presi-
dent had to listen. for big men, personal
friends. said these and similar things to
him. Not once. it is known. did they find
even tho Taft smile approving what they
said. Friends of Roosevelt who knew of
this told him, and he felt kindler toward
the occupant Of tho White House. Now
there is every appearance that they will
work together in tho future.
