FORE RIVER PRESIDENT
HAS EN- ALL SC00PEO
While Parker and Ford Fuss Over
Who Invented Little Submarines.
He Has Them In Operation.

New London, Conn. Sept. IS
While the controversy between Messrs.
Ford Parker and others as to who
was the originator of the plan for a
diminutive submarine boat, all would
be claimants OF honors seem to be
derailed by statement of L. Y. Spear
president OF the New London Ship and
Engine Company, at Groton. a sub
sidiary plant of the Electric Boat
Company.
In 1910 Mr.. Spear had plans draft
ed for three submersible boats, each
capable of accomm odating a crew OF
three and il necessary, five men. The
hulls were built in sections at the
Fore River shipyard and sent across
the Atlantic on steamers. The plates
We're quickly assembled after reach
ing their destination. which is not
stated.
DIESEL oil engines and electric mo-
tors were installed, and the little sub
marines were. equipped with two
standard size Whitehead torpedoes.
The boats were put in commission In
1911, We're capable of travelling sixty
miles. and could develop ten knots
speed on the surface or nine knots
submerged. The hull sections were
built at and shipped from Fore River
recently and 1t is reported that the
total cost of the miniature subma =
rines was less than the sum men
toned by either Messrs Ford or
Parker.
1t is also said the small undersea
craft have been doing wonderful work
during the present war and were still
afloat and searching for marine prey
at last reports.

He pointed out the foibles and fancies,
as he said of the proposed plans for

from his experience in municipal af
fairs for many years. he could think
of no better form Of government than
that which now prevailed.
Old architecture, old paintings. old
avs are the best. he said. The new
fads and Nightmares being pushed
upon the people had nothing tangible
by which to obtain support.
The present charter was all right
The Constitution was all right The
bill of rights. written by George Ma
son, an esteemed Nirginian, was all
right. and all we had to do was to
follow the lines laid out by that bill
of rights.

Let us start right. Let the City
