AUTHORITATIVE OPINIONS FOR
COURIER READERS.

No paper in the whole state of
Iowa, and comparatively few in the
country, are giving their readers as
much authoritative opinion on the big
problems and phases of the epoch
marking, world struggle that IS now
on, as is The Ottumwa Daily Courier.
Men of international reputation as ex-
perts on international laws and inter-
national problems and international
practices, are giving their views three
times week in the columns of The
Courier. The special editorial service
which enables The Courier to print
so many authoritative articles, is prov
ing of great worth in disseminating
expert opinion The writer's repre-
sent all sides in the controversy;
among them are neutrals, pro-Alltes
and pro-Germans. Not all of them are
Americans, for even far off Japan had
her position in the controversy with
China, explained in The Courier by a
.Japanese writer and leader of great
prominence in his own country and
this.
Courier readers, like Americans in
general, have opinions on the war, It's
causes and effects, and they will find
much useful information from un-
questionable sources in the special
editorial features appearing in the
columns of The Courier.

A PATRIOTIC DUTY

AT the beginning of the presen'
great European conflict, President WI.
son asked the citizens Of the United
States to individually and collectlvei?
avoid doing anything or comm'tt'hs
any act or in any way placing tnen'
selves in a position that would empar.
rass the administration of the unlteu
States in its efforts to maintain strict
neutrality and to keep this country
from being involved In any way In the
war.
It would seem that such request
from the president should certainly
have had the effect of eliciting indivld'
ual study at such a time.
It certainly ought to have been the
subject of some study by the men VINO
were contemplating a trip on the
ocean. II a man, is or was, considering
making trip at this time or any time
since the beginning Of this war. ne
should have born In mind that as a
citizen Of the United States. he mas
some individual responsibility. NO
man can expect some other man to
be responsible for all OF his actions or
to be in exactly the right spot ana
frame of mind at all times to direct
him.
Admitting that citizen of this coun-
try has a right under the law to
choose to take passage on one OF the
belligerent boats, and that he does
take passage on such boat and by
doing so comes to grief. then the ma
ton Is by his act, Immediately 1nvolv-
ed by its attempt to enforce the law
which the citizen has by his act, helped
to cause to be violated. At such time
as this, 1t is the duty of every pat
riotic citizen to in every possible way
shape his actions so that he will not
contribute to Involving this country in
this great calamity If man has to
make a trip to Europe, he should go
on a boat OF nation that is not at
war. There are plenty of them. If he
does that, then he has a right to ex-
vect this nation to do everything 1t
can to protect him, and also atenge
any injury that may come to him on
account Of the act Of one of the bel
ligerent nations. But one citizen or
hundred citizens should not voluntarily
place themselves in position unneces-
sari,y where an injury to them may
involve in q war nation of hun"
dred millions Of people. j.
At such a time as this, there is
more to consider in Individual and col
lective responsibility of citizenship
than simply the legal phase OF 1t.

THE BMARINE.

Without doubt the most spectacular
thing about the great struggle raging
in Europe is the part being played by
the submarine The under water crafts
of the Germans especially and to les
ser extent Of the allies. have done
great service in their respective
causes. If there was any question at
the start about their ability and capa-
ability, 1t has long since ceased and to-
day no navy would be considered mod
ern or efficient without a good share OF
submarines.
Because they are being used with
success for practically the first time,
many people are prone to look upon
them as the most modern war inven.
tion AS matter Of fact the submarine
is far from being modern invention.
1t is merely development of some
thing invented and experimental with
as much as two thousand years ago.
Certain old records mentioned an UNI
der sea galley which the Phoenicians
invented, but no details are given as
to construction. and the date of the in
vention is unknown.
Aristotle is authority for the story
LnaC Wnen AleXaHQer Lue GredI ldlu
siege to the Phoenician city of Tyre
he used diving bells to get men into
the city to start fires. While the APP
paratus used by Alexander were not
submarine boats. they at least showed
that the ancients realized the war
value of operating under water, and
had knowledge of the principles on
which the science is founded today.
Another early attempt at submarine
work is mentioned by an Arabian his
torian, Bohaddin, who says that diver
entered the harbor of Ptolemais In
1850 while the city was under siege.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1915-05-22

Although this man successfully eluded
the hostile vessels no details OF his
apparatus are given by Bohaddin.
The next important step in submar-
inc navigation was made by Cornelius
Van Drebel, a Dutch physician who, In
1926, constructed the first actual boat
for use under water Of which we have
any authentic description. This craft
was constructed of wood and was made
water tight by creased leather which
was stretched tightly ever the entire
hull.
"She carried twelve rowers besides
passengers and made Journey of sew
eral hours at depth Of from IL to IS
feet. The holes of the oars were made
to hold the water by leather joints"
is the description given in New Elk
periments, Physico, Mechanical" by
Robert Boyle, Oxford, 1850.
This boat could not dive and rise
like a modern submarine. 1t crawled
along the bottom Of the water and as
the depth increased finally became sub
merged.
All the earlier submarines were con-
structed of wood and it was not until
1884 that Father Hersenne, a monk of
the order Of Minimes, suggested the
use of metal for the hulls. He also
declared that the only shape for SUBJ
marine boat was that of fish and that
both ends should be spindle shaped so
that the vessel could go in either direc-
ton.
The proposed manner for firing can
non from the monks submarine is in
teresting. There were to be at least
two large guns called "Colombiades"
at each side of the boat. The muzzles
of these were to be pushed hard
against hinged lids when ready to fire.
Almost simultaneously with the dis.
charge Of the cannon the lid was to

WHERE is n NOT NEEDED9

In making a defense of Billy Sun

Rev. James v. Chalmers, a Protestant

gave the following story in a communi-
cation to the New York Times: AN
English bishop wrote to one of his
clergy: L am coming down next month
to hold quiet day in your parish
The clergyman wrote in reply: We
shall be glad to have you, my lord, but
what we need in this parish is not a
quiet day, but an earthquake.
