JUST CRAZY,

That Frank Holt, the man who
wrecked one of the rooms in the cap
itol at Washington by means of a
bomb and later shot J. Fierpont Nor
gan. is insane. there lis not the slight
est reason to doubt. Just how his in
sanity is to be classified is for the ex-
perts to determine. but it is not of an
unusual type. Three cases of such
insanity have resulted i'm the death Of
three presidents of the United States
Personal disappointment and animos-
ity entered more largely into the at
tack on Garfield than was evident In
any of the other cases. but In all there
was evidence of mental alteration
similar in character to that which
warped the Judgment of Holt.
The problem of disposing Of these
cases is always difficult one. There
Is a sort Of twilight zone between re-
sponsihility and irresponsibility. where
it Is difficult to find ones way. That
men who have yielded to destructive
or homicidal mania ought not to be at
large until there Is ample evidence
that they are cured goes without say
ing. And the fact that this peculiar
form of dementia so often accompa-
MES sane conduct in all the ordinary
affairs of life is a reason for the ex-
ercise of unusual care in disposing of
those cases in which there has appar-
emily been a cure. The man Holt for
instance, is a man of intelligence and
education. In his ordinary conduct
there appears to have been no evil
dence of anything abnormal. Yet
there was a weak spot in his mental
ity. and that spot happened to be
touched by a propaganda which stir
red his emotions. and the man be-
came a. dangerous maniac. Under
proper surroundings that condition
may pass. and the man may be reetor.
ed. in all visible respects, to a normal
condition. Yet who knows at what
moment some exciting cause may lead
again to mania of the same charac-
ter7
At any rate, the outburst Of this
man, which fortunately has resulted
In no loss of life. has neither political
nor social significance 1t is plain
that the man was crazy.

AERoPLANE AND SUBMARINE.


One of the current magazines has
an interesting picture of submarine
20 feet under water. as viewed from
an aeroplane 800 feet in the air. The
picture is reproduced from a photo
graph. It shows the submarine, not
as mere shadow, as most of us would
suppose. but as a body, clear and
| distinct. with It's outline quite sharply
! defined, and much of the detail fair
~ distinct. The picture illustrates
more forcibly that any written argu-
ment could the possibilities of the aer-
oplane as a protection against sub
marines.
The article accompanying this pic
ture contains statements from a num-
Der of men who have studied aeronau-
tics. and who are recognized as auth
critics on the subject. and all of these
writer's emphasize the importance of
the aeroplane In this line of wark, and
all maintain that a navy without lib
eral aeroplane equipment Is almost
helpless under conditions Of modern
warfare. while with this equipment the
efficiency Of the submarine as a
weapon of attack is almost destroyed.
The submarine is very useful
craft. but it has it's limitations. 1t is
fragile. and must avoid collision With
larger vessels, It is slow compared
with many Of the above-water craft
1t must. under ordinary circumstances
take aim from considerable distance,
and an attacked vessel, II warned of
its presence, can. by skillful dodging,
reduce very greatly the probabili of
being struck. 1t car. operate success
fully only in the daytime and in clear,
calm weather. for its only means of
observation is through periscope,
and this projects but few feet above
the water. At night, in fog or in very
rough water it cannot he used
The conditions under which alone
the use Of the submarine is practica :
BILE are the conditions which make OBJ
servation from an aeroplane soaring
overhead the very best. and it follows
that a large ship that is conveyed by
aeroplanes, whose observers keep n
vigilant watch, can travel even
through dangerous waters with rea-
sonable safety.
Several of the writer's referred to
insist that If the Lusitanla had been
escorted through the Irish channel by
an aeroplane she could easily have es-
capped. Emphasis is also placed on
the lack of aeroplane equipment in
our own navy, and the authorities are
urged to take steps at once to remedy
this defect Reference is made to
the tendency Of some writer's to COM
pare the fragiity Of the aeroplane
with the solidity and stability of the
hattleship, and to conclude that be-
cause the former is less seaworthy
than the latter it is of no use. In
answer to this we are told Of the in
significant cost of the aeroplane. Of
the fact that it is not intended to do
the work of the battleship, but rather
to aid in protecting the battleship
from danger against which the ship
alone is almost defenseless. On the
basis Of comparative cost. and the
purpose for which the aereplane has
dem cnstrated it's usefulness. the
equipment Of our navy with plenty of
these fliers would he. 1t is held. very
good and very cheap insurance.

THE NEW CHIEF END OF MAN

Chicago Herald: The Car of Rus
sia has also appointed commission
to supervise and encourage the
manufacture of war supplies. 1t is
said to have been given practically
despotic power over the whole range
Of Russian industry. It's business is
TO see that munitions are made. no
matter what else remains unmade.
Coming on the heels of the passage
az the British act to compel the manu-
factuYe of munitions as fast as Dos
sible and on what France and the
Teutonic allies have already done in
the same direction, the creation of the
Russian commission gives new en-
phasis to the chief end and aim Of

KAISER HAS BIG NAVAL GUN
PrcjectiIes Weigh Ton and Will Garry
Twenty-eight Miles.

BERLIN (Via London) - Remark
able figures regarding new
German naval gun are given by
German artillery expert, writing in
the Artillery Monats Hefte. The writer
admits that Krupps are manufacture
inf a gun whose projectile weighs 900
Kilograms (about a tom and which
Ge1 clops muzzle velocity Of $40 me,
ters (about 800 feet a second.
The expert deduces from these fig
ures that the gun has SO per cent
more muZzle force than the British
navy's best weapon and has a range
OF about forty-two kilometers (about
overweight miles,, while the channel
at Dover is only thirty-tEree kilome-
tiers (about twenty-five miles, wide.
He says the figures given, if correct,
will permit the Germans eventually to
command the Frglish coast from
Calais for a dist nee of nine kilome-
tiers (about six miles, inland with the
new gun.
