Claims to the duckpin champion
ship of the county are being made by
the Suburban team, of this city The
team bases it's claims on the fact that
it has defeated Thurmont, Emmits-
burg and Brunswick, and is willing to
prove its claim by rolling any team
which sees fit to dispute. Albert Mo-
ser, of the Knights of Pythias alleys,
is business manager, and Claude Zim-
norman, captain. Challenges will be
given due consideration, if addressed
to the business manager.

Increase in Torpedoes.

With reference to torpedoes. the in
crease in two years has been 80 per
cent. BY the enlargement of the naval
powder factory We shall soon be able
almost to double its former capacity,
and like enlargement of the torpedo
works and the equipment of a plant to
construct mines will still further IN
crease at decreased cost, the quantity
of such stock and the possession OF
these plants in times of emergency Will
enable the department to be In better
state of preparedness, as regards the
supply of ammunition, imam ever pe-
fore.
The personnel of the navy is at pres
ent composed of 1856 line, staff and
wa rrant officers, and 53,1T1 enlisted men.
Increase in the number OF omcers is De
pendent almost entirely upon the output
of the Naval Academy, admission to which
is restricted by statute. The number OF
enlisted men also is restricted, and the
navy is today recruited to the maximum
strength allowed. There are now with
the colors 1924 more men, an increase OF
/. per cent, than there were on March l,
1914
My professional training as journalist
has always inclined me to the conviction
that any officer within the prescribed
limits recognized in the navy, should feel
free to express his opinion in regard to
matters in the service; and there Is not
an officer who commands ship today
who could would say that his snip,
without or within, was not as good as
it was two years ago, or that the officers
who command it and the crews who man
it are not as thoroughly disciplined, So
ber loyal and efficient as they were two
years ago. or as they ever had been

This has been DONE Upon my earnest
recommendation Congress appropriated
100000 to begin, upon an elaborate
plan. the real development of aviation IN
the navy. 1t also approved my request
to pay ayiators an increased SO per cent.
and we are organizing class OF capable
aviators
To make Immediately effective this fea-
ture three new hydroaeroplanes have just
been purchased. which is but the begin
ming OF the work of aviation, now we'll
advanced along the lines of well con-
Sdered plan. I regard this as one OF the
most far-reaching steps taken by the VIII
son administration.
Savings in Manufacture.
All this unprecedented increase in the
navy has been secured, too, without large
increase in appropriations. How? BY
avoiding unnecessary expenditure ashore.
by reducing the cost of work ashore while
maintaining it's quality and reducing APP
preparations for enlargement Of shore
stations. by securing real competition
and by economy. During the four years

Congress for the public works alone of

gress. elected with President Wilson,
adopted my recommendation to give us
all the money it could for submarines.
1t ordered the construction of three
seagoing submarines, the largest ever
authorized by any country, and twenty
three submarines Of the same size and
type which have done such fearful exc
| cution in the present war. These sub
marines will cost s16.260.0o0.
Now what was done during the Ia st
two years under Mr.. Taft" Twelve sub
marines. to cost s7.e5S,a36. were au-
thorIZed. Some of our submarines are
not as perfect as they should be, nor
are the submarines of any other ma
ton Under this administration. how
ever. the board of inspections has
adopted stricter tests before accepting
submarines from contractors. Nobody
has. as yet, perfected a satisfactory
engine or satisfactory battery for sub
marines. Upon my invitation. Mr.. Edi-
son, last year. at the New YORK navy
ward. went down into a submarine and
closely studied it's every feature He
thinks he has a battery that will meet
The need. Our tests at the Brooklyn
navy yard cause us to believe Mr. Edi-
son has the right principle. Without
waiting for the completion of his bat
terry. he has been given an order for
two, one to be put into an old subma-
rine, accepted before March 4. 1913,
whose battery does not give satisfac-
ton. and one for new submarine which

n. H.. navy yard. Private firms build
ing submarines have not given entire
satisfaction. We have equipped the
Portsmouth navy yard to build subma :
rines. and by competition between pri-
vate and government construction it is
hoped that every obstacle may be over
come.
Torpedoes and Mines.
Third, as to torpedoes: A statement
has been put in circulation that the
navy is not making adequate provi-
sion to supply itself with torpedoes.
The only answer I can make is to state
the fact that We either have on hand
or have placed orders for all the tor
pedoes the general board prescribes.
Is this administration going backward
in this respect?
1t would not be proper to make pub
hand. but this much may be said: For
every 100 torpedoes which the depart
ment had on hand in March, 1913, nine
tysix more are completed or in course
Of manufacture. Therefore. within a
few months the supply of torpedoes
will be almost doubled. Upon my
recommendation Congress has enlarged
the torpedo plant at Newport. r. l..
more than trebling it's capacity, and
the cost Of manufa curing torpedoes
has been reduced from s4.202.11 to
$3,245.72 each. The reduction has al
ready. effected saving of ss2S.7oo.
During the last two years unprece-
denied progress has been made In the
expansion of our mining equipment.
This was begun and was well under
way before the last Congress met. The

The Gem Worker notes with great
pleasure that the electric light and
power companies for the current
month have increased their discount
rate for the prompt payment Of bills
to thirt-- per cent. There may or may
not be any connection between this
action and the agitation for munich
paliy owned plant. but it is an evil
dence that material reduction can be
made in rates, for as reward for
prompt payment 30 per cent reduc-
fion IS entirely too high, and the UNI
fortunate individual who may not be
able TO meet his bill on the tenth is
muieted too much for his neglect or
poverty. It would appear that there
should be a material reduction in rates
and a ten per cent discount for prornt-
ness would then be sufficient and GER
fainly is a sufficient indueement to the
large body Of consumers. We doubt
very much if the increased discount
will materially increase the number
Of prompt payers.

Hon. Frank p. Walsh, chairman OF
the Industrial Ivestigation commit
tee, has conducted the investigation in
a far different manner than such in
vestigations have been conducted in
the past. Mr. Walsh is in favor OF
publicity and the investigation is con-
Quoted in the open and the chairman
does not hesitate to have the facts go
forth to the people, nor does he hesi-
tate to give the workers side Of the
various subjects under investigation.
These facts are winning Mr. Walsh
the open hostility of that section Of
the American press whose editorial
policy is dictated by their business
offices. This class of newspaper are
doing all in their power to discredit
Mr. Walsh and the work which he is
doing. Mr.. Walsh does not hesitate
to lay blame for the Colorado coal
miners strike upon the Rockefellers
father Rnd son, and he gives the facts
and his conclusions the widest pos
sible publicity.
No intelligent student of events can
fail to agree with Mr.. Walsh both as
to the facts and the conclusions, but
the daily papers that are subservient
TO vested interests would have the
people believe that there is something
terribly wrong in the manner in which
Mr.. Walsh conducts the investigation
and in the public manner in which he
seeks to place the blame where it be-
longs. Neither the Rockefellers nor
their apologists would object to the
grilling if it were not made public in
the manner in which it is. IF Mr..
Walsh would only follow the old es-
tablished method of conducting the in
vestigation practically behind closed
doors, with the evidence afterwards
printed in some huge volume for the
government and in to which no one
would ever peer. there would be no
howl from the monopolistic press.
There can be no question as to the
value of publicity in the righting of
wrongs. 1t Isl the only system The
Rockefellers will not and cannot feel
SO smugly confident of their own po-
sition if it is brought home to them
daily what the American people really
think of them-and this is the lesson
which Mr.. Walsh is teaching them.
May he live long and prosper.

There is general feeling that the
harvesting of this years crop will
mark the complete ending of the era
OF hard times in Idaho There has
been a readjustment of values and
many equities have been wiped out,
but it is felt that the readiustment will
be complete when bounteous crops
are thrown upon the market at pre-
vaiiing high prices. That the crops
are to be large is evidenced by the
present outlook and ali indications are
for prices several degrees above the
normal. Many a farmer will be able
TO pay off an oppressive mortgage
with good crops at prevailing high
prices and when once out of debt
should profit BY the lessons of the
