There has been considerable

very large boats and hold that

not far 20 seek. The early boats
were too small to allow Internal
subdivision and proper appliances
for safety. Life on board was ex-
ceedingly fAtlguing since there
was no room for accommodations
for the crew. The food could not
be- cooked. and the air was foul.
When navigating on the surface,
the boats were exceedingly wet
and unseaworthy. Militarily they
were inefficient on account OF
their low speed. the small fuel ca
pacity and the limited armament.
Apart from technical improve
ments. all these deficiencies could
Do at least partly removed by sim
ply Increasing the displacement,
and this remedy has been steadily
resorted to by the designers. ine
only serious obstacle encountered
on this road was the difficulty or
constructing suitable engines or
sufficient power for propulsion on
the surface. Internal combustion
engines appear TO be. so far. those
best capable OF satisfying the
~ AhNfuA requirements OF ngnt-
ness. compactness. and economy
indispensable in motors for sub
marines. but the difficulties IN
combining these qualities with re-
liability under service conditions
increase rapidly with the power
OF the engines. Advance in this
direction has been. therefore, very
gradual and the growth in size OF
submarines correspondingly slow.
The only positive objections TO
larger size appear TO be reduced

crease nearly so fast as the gain
IN military value.
II must be borne in mind that
the so-ealled giant" or dread
nought" submarines are in reality
small vessels. The largest boats
IN existence are probably the six
boats Of the English F-class
which are said TO BE- s50ts. In light
conditions and 120Ots. Submerged.
They were laid down already IN
1913 and the design OF mucn
larger boats Is now being serious
~ considered. Several French
and probably also German boats
approach the size OF the English.
Recently the United States have
laid down one boat OF this class,
the Schley. Judging from the
high surface speed. from eighteen
TO twenty knots. for which ali
these boats are designed. IL ap-
pears that the limits OF space and
power will be closely approached
and the desired result may not IN
all cases be attained without ser
tous difficulties. II is worth not
Ing that on the same displacement
but with a small reduction in
maximum surface speed, these
difficulties will largely disappear
and a more habitable boat can be
obtained possessing a greater ra-
dius both in the surface and sub
merged.
Consider now the requirements
or the service. Submarine boats
may be stationed for defensive
purposes of ones own coast or.
Tor offensive purpose, of the
coasts OF an enemy. Apart from
harbor and coast defense in
narrow sense. where boats operate
in the immediate vicinity OF a
base. both OF these duties require
that submarines should remain on
their station as long as possible
so as 10 avoid the necessity OF
frequent reliefs. For such station
airy or patrolling service. endur-
ance is. in fac. the primary re-
quirement. including in this term
enduring efficiency of the personal
as well as OF the material and a
great radius OF action. High
speed is not for this service OF so
great Importance as endurance.
submarine boats may also be-
used for performing raids. for re-
connoitering. and for acting in
conjunction with larger vessels,
as in action of the Helgoland last
August. For such active service
endurance Is again a necessary
requirement but high speed is per
haps OF even greater importance.
Hence, endurance is desirable for
all kinds of duty. but for local de-
tense II may be secured with
boats OF small or moderate dis
placement. In all other cases
this quality. which implies sea
worthiness. good living conditions.
and large fuel supply, can be
attained in a sufficient measure
only In boats Of large displace-
ment.

William H. Singleton.

The death of William H. Singleton has
occurred with shocking suddenness.
Yesterday active in his important and
helpful civic work. as president of the
Board of Trade. he was stricken this
morning without warming, SO that his
passing comes as a blow to his friends
and associates. Few Washingtonians
addressed themselves to their tasks,
public or private, with such vigor and
self-sacrifcing thoroughness as Mr..
Singleton. He was energy personified,
and his activities were always directed
toward the betterment of Washington,
Of which he had been /, resident since
boyhood- In whatever ne undertook he
strove with tireless energy and with
clear perception of the major goal to
be attained. He never spared himself in
his devotion to the labors he assumed
for the public benefit, and it was in a
measure fitting that he should work at
full force to the very end and that
death should find him in the midst of
his tasks. Yet his loss will be deeply
felt So capable and Industrious a
worker for Washington's welfare can
i'll be spared. In business, in religious
endeavors, in Masonic organizations and
latterly in the Board Of Trade, of which
he had been a member for many years
and to the highest Office of which he
had attained through his unremittine
devotion to the development of that
agency for the improvement and evolu-
ton Of the capital. he was always a
factor for the establishment of high
standard of citizenship. Personally his
loss is sincerely mourned by the wide
circle of those who knew him as a
loyal, unselfsh friend.

Attenuated Residence" !"

Chief Justice Shepard's dissent from
the decision of the District Court OF
Appeals on the Newman case Is ad-
dressed exclusively to the question of
the sufficieucy of the Commissioners res
idence, he taking the view that Mr..
Newman had established a residence
in the District of Columbia which
qualified him under the statute govern
ing appointments to that Office. He
bases this opinion on the ground of a
continuing intention to return to
Washington upon departing from here
in 1911 and cites a textbook authority
to the effect that residence once ac-
qufred is lost or abandoned only when
both the residence and the intention to
reside cease to exist. He quotes case
more in point in a decision to the ef-
both residence in the new locality and
the intention to remain there are in
dispensable.
A statute should be interpreted and
applied in all cases with a view to the
enforcement Of its major purpose. IT
was obviously the purpose of the
statute of 1873 in defining the quail
ifications of the civil District Commits
sioners to insure that the men appoint
ed to those offices should be fully ac-
quainted with the local conditions ex-
isting at the time of their appointment
This was for the purpose of securing
municipal administrators competen,
through their knowledge of affairs tc
deal intelligently and sympatheticall,
with the communitys needs. This pre-.
sumption il strengthened by the use Of
the phrase, following that requiring q

Of conflicting claims Of both Turkish

though Petrograd has heretofore now
