the American league and one of
the most famous players in base

several statements that are rath-

Cobb declared unmitigatedly
that the Boston infield is much
better than the famous $1,000 0
infield of the Athletics. Given
the same kind OF pitching they
secured in the worlds series,
Cobb says the Braves could con-
sistently defeat the Athletics in a
long series OF through a seasons

THAT WILL TIE SUBMARINES DO?

Scores of naval critics and thousands of lay
observers are awaiting with keenest interest
some decisive naval action in the North Sea,
the Baltic or the Mediterranean Aside from
the stirring suggestions of naval conflict there
is the very practical problem involved of the
efficacy of the new submarines in attacking the
larger war-vessels
Admiral Sir Percy Scott, the distinguished
British naval officer, started the controversy
by letter to London newspaper several
months ago in which he declared that the bat
tleship is doomed as an effective fghting-ma-
chine, on account of the Development of the
submarine His declaration was sharply crit
cised. Now, notes the Army and Navy Reg
lister, Sir Percy has written another letter, this
time in defense of his statement
In reply to Lord Sydenham, who contended
that in the RussoJ Japanese war the damage done
by the torpedo fell short of reasonable expecta-
ton, Sir Percy Scott is able to point out that
son the first evening after the declaration of
war the japanese, with torpedoes very inferior
to those in use now, did sufficient damage to the
Russian battleships to drive them into Port
Arthur, and the menace of another torpedo at
tack prevented his fleet from again coming out
OF the harbor at night As to the visibility of
the periscope of the submarine, Sir Percy quotes
the statement of naval officer to the following

GREAT sRlTAlN AND JAPAN.

Honolulu, Aug. IL.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: The fact that Premier 0kuma
is cautioning the Japanese newspaper
men to refrain from publishing sensa-
tional articles or even rumors on the
present European situation, and the
fact that Japan has spruced up her
nayytto the lighting pitch lends color
to the whisperings of a secret COM
pact between Britain and Japan, and
the possibility that Japan may be
come involved In the general war,
now that her ally. Britain. has been
forced into the fight.
The existing treaty between the
two countries was a renewal of the
one signed in 1905, and provides that
the two countries shall support each
other in the event OF an attack
against each other by q foreign
power
From time to time there have been
rumors of secret clause greatly ex.
tending the scope of the compact and
affecting war conditions beyond the
Far East, but the positive existence
of such a secret understanding is not
known at Washington, either In the
state department or at the japanese
embassy.
In the waters of the Far East there
are many naval vessels of different
European powers looking after the In.
terests of their citizens in those coHn.
tries that comprise the Far East prop

effect During last maneuveFS | was in a
first class armOfed cruiser in the North sea. We
had an idea that submarines were about, be
cause several Of our ships had been sunk some
where about where we had been the previous
day. We consequently were keeping particu
larry bright outlook for them. The day was
ideal for our seeing them+-nearly calm and
quite clear. To our dismay, one came to the
surface less than hundred yards from us and
signaled, Il have fired two tOrpedoes into you
and claim you out of action :" Sir Percy Scott
still contends the submarine has introduced
new method of attacking commerce, and he does
not believe that feelings of humanity" will re-
strain our enemy from using it. Finally, Sir
Percy Scott comes down to what we regard as
the main question Would he favor our scrap
ping all our large battleships and cruisers? He
states categorically that he would not favor this
policy. Surely if Sir Percy Scott is convinced
that the submarine in its present stage of de
yelopment has already secured primacy of the
sea, he should favor at least the gradual with
drawal of battleships and cruisers in commits
sion SO soon as we are able to replace them by
aircraft and submarines in sufficient numbers"
On this British comment is reproduced as
follows: Indeed, we confess that we can not
understand why, in the present naval situation
and on the assumption put forward by Sir
Percy Scott, we should not forthwith scrap all
cur battleships and cruisers. Built and build
ing, We possess 96 submarines to Germany's
80; Italy has only 20 and Austria Hungary IA,
while France on the other hand, possesses SO
end Russia AZ. The Triple Entente, conse-
quently, has built or building 232 submarine
boats to the 73 possessed by the powers of the
triple alliance Surely in face of this prepond-
erance of submarine strength Sir Percy Scott
should be in favor of all cur battleships and
cruisers being put forthwith on the scrap heap
and the money which is now spent in their up
Keep being devoted to the further strengthening
of cur submarine flotilla and the naval air sery.

light on the Nippu Jiii's cablegram from Toxic
last Saturday. Evidently the Toxic correspond

that the coming Of some battleships through
the canal gave evidence of hostile intent on
the part of the United States. Nothing could
