PARENT.TEAcHERS LEAGUE.

On February ninth, In response to
invitations from the teachers a large

President-Mrs. E. A. Pray.
Vice President-Mrs. E. S. Cole.
Secretary and Treasurer - Mrs.
Frank Bailey.
They decided to hold these meet.
ings on the first and third Thursdays

tee, consisting Of Miss Sanderson,
Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Beecham, have
made out a very interesting program
consisting of papers, discussions, and
talks on subjects of greatest interest
to both teachers and parents and
which it is hoped will be the means Of
helping both to deal better with the
child in both the home and the school.

Every time a submarine sinks a
British man-o'-war the relative
strength OF the American Navy as
compared with the strongest navy
In the world, is raised. Today the
navy of the United states is rated
as third.
Great Britain is way In the lead
with the German Empire n poor
second. At the outbreak of the
European war the English had 49,
500 officers and men in the navy.
I Germany had 66,7S3 officers and
men, while the United States had
$3.50 officers and men. England
and Germany have both increased
their naval strength as far as num-
bers of officers and men is con-
cerned. but their number of ships
has been decreased.
At the outbreak OF the European
War England had twenty-nine huge
battleships. Germany had nineteen
of the monsters and the United
States fourteen. In the old-style bat
tleships the United States ranked
second, but. England as usual was
way in the lead. In submarines
England had almost three times as
many as the Germans and twice as
many as the United States. Ger
many has used her submarines with
telling effect. however. In addition
to the work of the submarines mys-
ferrous explosions have wrecked two
of the great British battlcships of
which we know. Others may have
been wrecked and the facts kept
from the public by the British Adj
miralty.
But the United States is not wait
ing for the whiting down process
of the nations at war TO reduce
their navies. In our shipyards seven
battleships classed as super dread
naughts are being constructed. The
events of the last few months caused
Maurice Prendergast. the English
naval authority. to say the other
day:
The seven battleships that the
United States has built and is build
, Ing will form the most powerful
squadron of uper-dreadnaughts in
existence on completion of the last
ship in 1918"
In other words the British naval
expert, who has been investigating
battleship building in this country.
believes that by 1918 tho United
States will hold the honor of the
biggest ships in the world.
The submarines for which the
Navy Department will open bids
next month will be the largest and

for six-inch gun. five.inch amor
for five-inch guns, ETC.. like the pro-
ccssional arrangements made by
Noah for the Ark, they consider
futile. Such armor merely assists
in the detonation of large, high ex-
plosive shells which would pass
through ordinary plating without
meeting enough resistance to burst.
THE eighty guns on the seven
ships will he able to shell another
ship as far away as fourteen miles.
One shell. even from any one OF the
seven, II it hit weak spot in the
adversary's fleet, would be enough
to blow up ship.
"one of the pleasing features Of
all the new ships Is the way in
which all. the uptakes from the
boilers are gathered within the
cone that forms the base Of the
single funnel. There is absolutely
no chance OF shell going through
this armor to the funnel and there
by allowing furnace gases to escape
and kill the crew.
Tn fact, the Americans have
every conceivable Improvement and
there is nothing afioat to equal the
seven ships"

for many years.
There Is one thing about the
fleet that Uncle sam will have that
reminds me of the Harvard and
Yale football game" says Mr.. Prem
sdergast, and that is that her strong
points will be very strong and her
weak ones very weak.
The navy engineers have, made
absolutely certain that parts of the
ship that are most apt to he SUBJ
1ected to heavy. poundings are so
strong that there is no question but
that they will be able to resist any
onslaught.
Take the Nevada. for instance.
which will be launched from the
Fore River ship yards next spring.
She has an armor so thick that II
your famous John L. Sullivan had
the force to drive his big right arm
into 1t, his forearm. from elbow to
wrist. would not reach through.
And this same. armor is three times
as wide as man is tall.
The best part OF the new dread
naughts. however, Is not in their
defense. but their offensive work.

The history of the Greys dates
back to 1881. when the Regiment
OF Scots Dragons was organized.
The majority of the men had fought
for several years previously under
Ciaverhouse in Scotland following
the Restoration. Their first COM
mander was Colonel Dalziel, after
ward Lieutenant General.
The regiment served abroad until
1898. After four years at home it
saw foreign service again under
Marlborough. About this time the
Dutch Life Guards returned to Hol-
land. leaving their white horses.
