several quarts of ink over a lot of
good VIII tie paper which was subse-
quently wished on to" President
Garfield of Williams College, he said:
Congress has enlarged the torpe-
do plant at Newport, more than treb,.
ling its capacity and the cost of man
ufacturing torpedoes has yeen reduc.
ed from $4,2O2 IL to s3,245.72 each.
| It now appears that "the torpedo
plant at Newport is not engaged in
manufacturing torpedoes" at all.
that 1t is not capable of such manu-
facture, and that there is only one
plant in the United States which to-
day can turn out finished torpedo.
That is the e. W. Bliss company.
makers of the Bliss Leavitt torpedo,
in the patents of which the United
States claims an interest. 1t was on
account of It's interest in the patent
that the government refused to per-
init the Bliss company to manufac-
ture torpedoes for any of the bellig-
erent European nations.
This information comes to the
trent in connection with a schedule
for proposals which was sent out in
May by the bureau of supplies and
accounts of the navy department, and
asking for bids on every part, except
the explosive, that goes into the man.
ufacture of torpedoes. The proposal
specifies delivery of these parts at
the torpedo station at Newport, and
the parts called for, when assembled
would make 80 torpedoes.
This schedule calls for the deliv-
cry of the various parts of torpedoes
for which bids are asked, twenty-five
per cent $50 days after the contract
is signed and twenty-five per cent
each month thereafter unit the con.
tract has been filled. Now, torpedoes
are practically nothing, but miniature
motor boats which carry heavy
charge Of high explosives in the head.
This schedule calls for variety of
parts, such as 81 castings for the
torpedoes, 800 forward and 800 after
propellers, 1926 each submerged guide
bottoms and tops, 800 turbine wheels,
engine parts, castings, combustion
TASKS, driving gears and a long list
of MINOR parts, such as any machine
shop could turn out. T... '..
The schedule itself is an acknowl.
edgement on the part of the navy
department that 1t is not equipped to
manufacture any of the component
parts of torpedoes..
So 1t is difficult to imagine lust
what Josephus Daniels had in mind
when he spoke of manufacturing tor
pedoes. As a matter of fact, IL any
disaster should overtake the Bliss
factory, the government would be I'M
able to obtain even the most import
ant parts Of torpedoes in the Unit.
ed States, and in case of war, naval
officers say. the Newport torpedo sta.
ton would be practically useless as
the finished torpedoes could be man
ufactured much more quickly at the
