Submarine Experts Grntifird.

There can be, 10 doubt that the work
already accomplished IN this war both
by the submarine and the torpedo has
amply justified all the care and attention
which have been devoted to the develop
ment OF these weapons, which is nat
urally very gratifying TO those of us who
have been actively and almost exclusively
engaged In this work. 1t must also be
most gratifying to those whose advocacy
of the submarine and torpedo in season
and out has resulted in the creation Of
the hotil,as noV possessed by the United
States.
No doubt every NliaJSl power, including
the United states, Viii he most anxious
TO read Alright tn lessons taught by the
war, which must hav, Z profound effect
upon future naval policies, hoth with re-
gard TO the design Of naval ships and AZ
10 the relative numbers Of the various
kinds of craft which should GO 10 make
UP an efficient navy. In this discussion.
as in every other, many extreme views
will be ventilated. On tn one hand,
some viii think that AL effort and eX-
penditure should be confined almost eX-
clusively 10 torpedo carrying craft, while
others will stoutly maintain that the gun
must remain the supreme weapon and
that consequently armOred and heavy
gunned ships must constitute the most
important units SO "a TO the question
as the dreadnought doomed" many diff
ferent answers Will be gwen. While per-
sonally ! am n firm believer IN the ef-
hcency and value of the submarine and
the torpedo, | should not he prepared 10
give an, Affirmative answer u that ques-
tion. For certain E.Has OF work, and
more particularly tho d..cuce at haIb1rs
and coasts, there can ne no doubt that
dollar for dollar and man for man the
submarine and torpedo are the most ef-
feCtive weapons known ,p-dty. The work
of a navy, however, involves more than
the passive defence of coasts. So that IN"
real defence Of most counties W tho
larger ssuse must require other weapons
in addition.
In fact modern warfare both on land
ana sea has Developed TO "A point where u

PREPARE VERSUS REPAIR.

The statement was made not very
long ago, and 1 believe it is accurate
that as head of the Chi1dren's Bureau,
Julia C. Lathrop has done her work
during the past year with just enough
money to cover the repairs on one tor
pedo boat for a year. writes Rabbi
stephen S. Wise in the Survey. The
manner of the statement is unmistak-
ably American and the conditions
which it describes are no less American.
Once upon a time, we said: Millions
for defense and not one cent for trib-
uate.'' Now We seem to act upon the
principle: Millions for repair but not
one cent to prepare, or putting it more
accurately: Almost any amount for re-
pair and a srudging minimum with
which to prepare.
To repair is better than to prepare
seems almost to have become our
thought as far as we may be said to
think upon social problems. Why? Be-
cause We lack imagination, because, as
Some one has said, the news of a dis
aster in China which caused the de-
struction of one hundred millions Of
people would not affect the average
man quite rs sharply as would the loss
of one of his fingers. Imagination is
just another name for visioning, and
and foreseeing. Ana to foresee is to
prepare and to prepare is Of the essence
of craftsmanship in a democracy.
