Announcement was made at the
Navy Department yesterday. that bids
for the two cruising submarines VIII
be opened on Feb. Is. The Navy
Departments specifications provide
for the use of steam power. although
the bidders can substitute other en-
gines if thw wish to submit plans of
their own.
Under the act of Congress authoriz-
ing the construction of these boats.
a surface speed OF 25 knots an hour
is required. and after extensive eX-
perimeuts the authorities at the, de-
parlment have decided that only by
the use of steam can such speed be
developed. Doubt is being expressed
as to whether the government can Sc
cure such high speed in submarines
within the limit of cost which has
been fixed by Congress Even if there
had not been an increase in the price
OF material. it is not believed that a
submarine of this type could be con-
structed for $1,000. 900. which has been
provided by Congress.
Vt Is understood that some entirely
new features for submarines are in
cIuded in the specifications. The
engines are separated by bulkheads
from the rest OF the boat and num-
her of improvements are specified for
cooling the engines preparatory to a
dive.
Army officers who registered at the
War Department yesterday were Maj

"And the Hand Of Our Power Should Close
Over Them at Once"

Because we opened wide the gate
And bade the peoples come and 60;
Because our hearts were void of hate
And slow to judge, and overslow
In anger to denounce the cause
OF broken faith and broken laws;
Because we thrust the sword aside,
Believing it better thing
To stand against the crimson tide,
A rock to which mems hearts can cling
That seek haven from the flood
Of strife and greed and hate and blood
Think not, because we take our stand,
With scorn from all and praise from none
That dogs can stain our sovereign land
With jackal war as ye have done,
Who yelp your hireling threats afar,
And murder in the name of war.
Rather the fresh-turned clods shall hide
A threefold sacrifice OF slain,
And all your wild Valkyries ride
New burdened from the battle plain,
As undrsamed lcgions arm anew
To purge the stricken earth of you.

Give the Shitbuildef 4 Chance

All that the American shipbuilder asks at this
time is protection from foolish legislation Upon
him, the shpowner, government interfer-
ence weighs heavily. The present scarcity has Gre
ated unprecedented demand for new tonnage.
No competition by the foreign builder, concerning
which the politicians have been SO anxious in the
past, need now be feared. All over the world
the shipyards are working to full capacity. The
menace to the American shpbuilder is that such
prosperity cannot last under existing laws When
the Immediate demand is over we are certain to
have idle yards again unless the shipowner is per-
mitted to do a profitable business in noriiial con-
ditions. This the seamen's act alone would make
impossible Add to that the threat Of government
ownership and private capital will be forced to
find some safer and more profitable investment.
The advocates Of the ship-purchase bill who talk
Of building up the American merchant marine by
its provisions are in effect urging its destruction

The Senator from South Caro-

Iaureis AZ a lad In the war of 1Sl2. had
been elected TO the legislature OF his
State At twenty three and made Speaker
of It's House at twenty-five: made his
way as much by personal charm as by

a grace and ardor In his speech which
won all mems attention and liking. wore
always the air of q man OF honor and
high spirit. and used his singular pow
ers OF persuasion with a fine force OF

upon q change OF residence. had been
sent first to the House QScS,. finally to
the Senate QS2O. from Massachusetts,.
and was now at forty-eisht one OF the
most noticeable figures OF the country.
an orator and constitutional lawyer
whose mastery every man Acknowledged
Twice he had taken his stand. with a
force Of argument II would have been
difiicult to enhance. against protective
tariffs; but, seeing his constituents de-
liberately and perststently stake their
whole economic fortune as a community
upon them. he at last had yielded. and
was now the accepted champion of New
England against the violent onset Of
the South.
He replied to Mr.. Hayne that the con-
stitution was no compact. the Union no
mere dissoluble partnership. but a gov
ernment, sovereign thought not consoli-
dated, banded State which nothing
but revolution could 'dissolve, its laws
to be set aside or resisted only by acts
Of treason
No such charm hung about the per-
son of Mr.. Webster as that which made
Mr.. Hayne SO excellent an image Of
the courtly gentleman and the per-
suasive orator. Alike in person and I'm
utterance, Mr.. Webster was compact. not
Of grace, but OF force.
Mr.. Haynes sentences rode high upon
rhetoric that sought often an advent
urous flight: Mr.. Webster used words
as II he meant only to clarity and
strengthen the thoughts he touched and
cared nothing for cadence or ornament.
And yet he spread them In ranks SO
fair that they caught and held the eye

square was he. massive. and indomitAbie

slumbrous eyes. seemed the fittest pos

played. There was INA agination wrought
into all that he said but not the irnag.
ination OF the rhetorician.
Mr.. Haynes speech seemed to thoss
who heard II worthy Of the great reply
II had called forth: but the country did
not read 1t as 1t read what Mr.. Webster
had said.
That was everywher4 printed and read
and as the slow malls carried Il forth
II was as IL the national spirit had sud.
denly been cried wide awake by its
thrilling sentences
1t was not the mere reasoner who
won this triumph: reason was here
touched with fire. The Imagination OF
every man who could see the vision OF
people united. indivisible. bound in
sacred concord. was taken captive by
these sonorous periods: the conviction OF
every man VINO saw tne tash ana Oes-
tiny of the nation as q whole. was Con-
firmed and heartened and made glad.
There was magic in the printed words.

and the magnificent presence Of the man

Olympian head and in his eyes. burning
dark with steady fire within their deep

There was no such magic in Nr.

gument and OF an able. thinking

Mr.. Webster had taken new ground.

establishment they had been present
They had admitted that II was an ex-
