AERoPLANEs CAN DROP
 ToRPEDoEs IN HARBoR

An aerial torpedo boat for attack on ships in protected harbors is pro iected in patents just issued 1t has been learned. to eRar Admiral Brad ley A. Fiske. now attached to the Navy War College. but formerly aid for operations to Secretary Daniels.
 The plan contemplates eQuipping Q monster areoplane, similar to @ num- Der now under construction in this country for the British government with Whitehead torpedo of regula- ton navy type.
 Sweeping down at a distance of five sea miles from the object of at- tack. the aircraft would drop its deadly passenger into the water just as it would have been launched from a destroyer. The impact sets the tor pedo's machinery in action and it is off at a speed for more than 40 knots an hour towards the enemy's ship.
 Admiral Fiske believes that the ny- ing torpedo would make it possible to attack a fleet even within @ handbook ed harbor. The range of the newest navy torpedoes is 10000 yards and even the old types will be effective at 5000 yards.
 Carried on a huge aeroplane, the 2,. OOO pound weapon would be taken ov- CT harbor defenses at an altitude safe from gunfire. Once over the bay, the machine would glide down to within 10 or 20 feet of the water the tor pedo rudders would be set and it then would be dropped to do It's work and the aeroplane would rise and speed away.
 Aeroplanes to carry ton Of dead weight have been perfected by sew eral countries. Russia is said to have several that will carry 20 men, and the new British aircraft probably will have a similar capacity.
 It is said to be possible that a type of radio-controned torpedo might be employed, one aeroplane. carrying the torpedo an. another the wireless ma chinery to control the missiles flight through the water It is pointed out that ACmiral Fiske secured patents on such method of control in 1900 when he was a lieutenant in the navy. They are said to be 80 broad and far reachine as to underly all sub sequent development of radio control devices.
 My invention" says the applica- tion filed by Lieutenant Commander Flske before the battle of Manila was fought, 'is especially aplicable to au- tomobile torpedoes and makes it pos sible to control the movements of a torpedo with great certainty from a shore, from the deck of a ship or the like"
 Since the aerial torpedo plan was advanced reports have come that German engineers were at work with a somewhat similar scheme. It is purposed to drop from aeroplanes a torpedo that can be guided by radio impulses during its fall and sent with absolute certainty to its work.

Depot at Rainier Is Robbed Again
Observation-Disclosures Get Away.

Special agents of the Northern Pa
cific railroad are searching for the
burglar or burglars who "blew" the
safe in the Northern Pacific depot at
Rainier between and 4 o'clock Tues
day morning and got away with $3S.
Residents of Rainier report having
heard four distinct shots, but, as no
one investigated, the robbery was not
discovered until Agent Burkett went
to the depot at the usual time Tues
day morning.
Sheriff Fred McCorkle, accompa-
MED by one of the Northern Pacific
special agents, visited Rainier Tues
day morning and carried their inves-
ti$ation on in Tenino, Bucoda and
Centralia but without getting any
clue to the bandit. In the $38 taken
was small check through which the
officials hope to trace the criminal.
The depot at Rainier was recently
robbed presumably by a man for
whom a warrant was issued in this
city last Saturday.

GRACE 8 Co. ACQUIRE
PACIFIC MAIL FLEET
NEW YORK.SEATTLE FIRM BUYS
SEVEN LINERS FOR SOUTH
AMERICAN TRADE.

Just prior to the visit of Secretary
of the Treasury William G. McAdoo
to Seattle Tuesday, when he ad-
dressed large gathering there on
the subject of the federal merchant
marine bill the administration will
propose to congress this winter. an
nouncement was made by Grace &
Co.. the big shipping firm, Of the pur-
chase of a large feet of steamers
from the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany.
Interest in the announcement lies
in the contention of the Pacific Mail
concern that its withdrawal from Pa
cific ocean commerce is due to the La
Toilette seamen's bill and In the
allegations that al the Republican
newspapers Of this coast have made
that the seamen's bill has turned the
commerce Of the Pacific over to the
Japs and Chinese. The announce
ment Of this purchase by Grace q
Co.. which apparently throws q dif-
ferent light on the situation, was re-
ported in the Seattle Post-Intelligen-
Ger Tuesday ~ follows:
"One of the biggest deals in ship
ping on this coast in recent years was
contaminated yesterday with the pur-
chase by the firm Of w. r. Grace &
Co. Of the steamers Pennsylvania,
Astec. Peru. City of Para, San Jose.
San Juan and Newport from the Pa
cific Mail Steamship company.
mo announcement was made as
to the amount of money involved in
the transaction, the terms being pri-
vate. All of the liners have been
plying in the San Francisco-West
Coast Of South America and Panama
and Mexico trade in the service of the
Pacific Mail.
"The purchase of the vessels by
Grace & Co. is Of great Importance
to Seattle. as in all probability some
OF them will be sent to this port.
"Grace & Co. now operate q great
fleet between Seattle and the West
Coast Of South America and the At
lantic. They have maintained regu-
lar sailings with the liners of the At
lantic & Pacific Steamship company
between Seattle, Portland, San Fran
cisco. San Pedro and New York via
the Panama canal, and have q fleet Of
chartered steamers in their west
coast trade out of this port.
"Their sailings to New York have
been temporarily suspended on ac-
count of the slides in the Panama
canal. No announcement has been
made as to the exact service in which
the fleet of vessels Just acquired will
ply"

N 'ADOO EXPLAINS NEW
FEDERAL SHIPPING BILL
WILL HELP NATION DEVELOP
FOREIGN TRADE-PROVIDE
NAVAL AUXILIARY.

The United States, by acting In
conjunction with Latin America, has
the power to create continental SOL
idarity, founded on common social,
commercial and financial interests,
that will prove an irresistible factor
for world peace.
This was one of many telling argu-
ments advanced by Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo at the Seattle Com
mercial club Tuesday noon In sup
port Of the new administration ship
ping bill. The cabinet member out
lined its principal features before m
audience Of 500 persons.
The administration plan. flrst made
public BY the secretary in IndMnap-
oils. october Is, seeks to establish
and extend trade not only to Central
and South America. but all over the
world. through government-controlled
vessels which will be used - naval
auxiliaries in q war crisis. Only by
such q plan. Secretary McAdoo said,
will the best public policy be served
and the American shipper benefited.
Step by step. with the skill Of q
trained lawyer, the secretary Of the
treasury built up his argument. until
the administration plan seemed un-
assailable.
Win South American Trade.
South America and other coun-
tries. now trading with Europe by
means of European vessels. do not
care to run the risk of having their
trade disrupted by the outbreak Of
war;" he said. 'The countries Of
South America will not continue to
give preference to Europe provided
we can furnish the proper shipping
facilities for South America knows
the United States is guided by the
desire for peace.
"By the establishment of proper
trade relations there will be con.
structed q Western hemisphere that
may say to Europe, You shall not
have war. or we will organize against
you and withdraw our commerce
from your shores Thereby, we may
exercise a negative, II not positive,
influence on the people of the world
The systematic, lucid presentation
of his subject was feature Of the
secretary's address. On several oc-
casions he departed from the strict
letter of his text, however. and on
one of these left no doubt in the
minds Of his hearers that the admin.
istration means to maintain the La
Toilette bill on the statute books
"There is little of the talk about
the evil effects of the seamen's bill
that is justified" he said. IF pri-
vate companies cannot create body
of American seamen that are able to
protect commerce and passengers and
respond to the call of war; If Amer
ican seamen cannot compete with
Asiatic sailors and not have the stan.
dard Of American living lowered. then
it is time for the government to step
in and furnish the steamship facili.
ties"
