"TORPS" OF THE BRITISH NAVY

"Torps" is the nickname Of the
torpedo lieutenant on a battleship. Sir
Henry jackson. new first sea lord OF
the admiralty. is the "Torps" Of the
British navy. for he is unquestionably
its leading torpedo expert His Sc
lection as successor to Lord Fisher is
recognized as most fitting. for Ger
manys naval tactics have forced Eng
land to admit the importance Of sub
marine warfare.
When Sir Henry entered the navy
IN 1868 the world was still chiefly
thinking about the crude spar" tor
pedoes which Gushing and other Amer
leans had used in the Civil war. with
the result that they we're apt to blow

VICTIM Of RACE HATRED

Sir Edgar Speyer. member Of a
banking firm that has houses in Lon
don. Frankfort and New York. has
truly become a victim Of race hatred
generated by the war. Because he is
a native of Germany, his loyalty TO
England, his adopted country, was
fiercely attacked. and finally he re-
signed his post as privy councillor and
came to America. He tried also to re-
sign his baronetcy. but found he would
have to remain a nobleman for life.
Sir Edgar has lived most Of his
life in England and was made a baro-
net because of his munificent philan-
thropies and his public spirit Up to
the outbreak Of the war he was one
of the most popular men in London,
and he remained popular until last
spring. when the undercurrent Of Eng

SUPPLIES ALWAYS ON HAND
British Claim to Have Made Transport

When 1t is mentioned that 1000 tons
OF goods-food and other necessities
are sent every day from the base de-
pots to the firing line of the British
army, some idea of the gigantic task
Of the army service will be gathered.
This enormous weight of goods, says
Harold Begbie. comes almost entirely
from England, for we are not buying
in France even SO perishable a neces-
sity as milk. Vast stores are brought
from England and loaded into sheds
at the base depots.
All day by motor dory and railway
truck supplies for the troops are sent
out from these base depots to stores
as near as possible to the firing lines.
And Just as reserves are accumulated
in the docks, so reserves are accumu-
lated near the front. since an accident
to the railways might cut off the fight
ing soldiers supplies.
On one occasion there was a delay
on the railways of SO hours, but not
only did the soldier at the front get
all his food and ammunition, but he
did not even have to draw on the re-
