25 YEARS OF HISTORY STUDY

MYTH the formation of the Society of the
w Cincinnati by the officers OF the Revo-
luttonary Army and the Tammany Society
by the private soldiers the country had to
be content for nearly hundred years. The
Tammany Society has so far departed from
its original purpose to become an organi-
zation known solely because II has given its
name to political party in New York de-
voted to the exploitation of government for
the benefit of the governors. The Society of
the Cincinnati is hardly known at all except
by name, though 1t continues to maintain its
organization.
The women descendants of Revolutionary
patriots about a quarter of a century ago
decided that the men had had things their
own way long enough, and some Of them
organized the Daughters of the American
Revolution. They are celebrating today the
silver anniversary of their order with such
exercises seem to them appropriate. They
have developed an interest in American his
tory where 1t did not exist before, and de-
serve that commendation which is bestowed
on all who have brosdened the horizon of
any group OF citizens.

SEA POWER.

British thought in this crisis places
great emphasis in the power of the
sea. AS yet naval warfare has play,

Man, the horse, the COW and the

preaching battleship that the ship
would have little chance to evade.
Since General Weaver's report was
made, army officers have seen the
possibility Of greatly extending the
usefulness Of the controlled torpedo
through the aid of an aeroplane scout.
The observer in the ae%roplane, fly
ing high aand out of range, could see
the torpedo in the water, and by radio
direction to the operator at the con.
trolu station ashore direct the attack
when the hostile ship was out Of
sight from the shore station. The
suggested type of torpedo for that
use is suspended from a float on
which the antennae of the wireless
device is erected. The cost is esti-
mated at about $4,000.
The float and a%ntennae are the only
objects at which the enemy could d.
rect his fire. 1t is intimated, how
ever, that plans for the adoption of
the radio-control system to the mos.
modern navy torpedoes operated by
compressed air, and with a speed Of
more than forty knots an hour are
under consideration. At that speed
it would be almost impossible to hit
the slinder masts of the control sys-
tenn. ,
