AVOIDING

The subterfuges and e~vasions OF the
Democracy are many. That growing
Treasury deficiency has been an en-
~barrassing fact for the party to meet,
and now for the second time the ad.
ministration has changed the form OF
its daily Treasury statement. both
juggies resulting in a showing Of larger
net balances in the general fund and
making IL difficult. or practically i'm.
possible. to compare treasury condi.
lions in 1915 with conditions under
Republican administrations. Thus. the
promised "pitiless publicity" has
changed to studied secrecy. The lates,
change was made on October l.. By
tina change there was an apparent
overnight increase OF So. OOO. 700 in
the net balance. That no such i'm.
crease actually occurred is not claimed
by the Treasury Department. yet the
daily statements will hereafter show
about that much more than would have

THE COMMON BURDEN.

The New Republic.
In giving women the vote men are
not bestowing on women a precious
privilege. They are implicitly with
drawing from women the right or
being politically irresponsible and so
cially protected. They are asking
women to share b anxious burden OF
government. They are asking women
to put on a uniform and commit them
selves 10 political good behavior.
No wonder some women shrink
from the responsibility: but IL they
shrink. II is not a matter of self-con-
graduation. They are refusing to
qualify for a share in that part OF the
labor OF social regeneration when
must De accomplished through poll
teal action. Women will obtain
political power at the time when II
has ceased 20 be an opportunity ior
aggraniizement or satisfaction and
has become chiefly an opportunity
for public service. During the last
few thousand years the ruling class
have extracted the sweetness from
the work OF government. The remain
ing puzzle business which they are
kindly passing on to the democracy
consists chiefly Of untiring and un-
selfish work on behalf Of better social
conditions.
The male voters in a modern de.
mocracy. instead OF gruuEingly. churi-
ishly and condescendinRly conferring
the vote on women. would. IL they
really understood. fall on their knees
and beg their mothers. their wives

OF the turbine wheels. Just as the
water jet did in the hydraulic tur-
otne of old. The speed OF the
steam jet. however. Is very high
thousands OF feet per second;
faster than a rife baIl-and the
steam turbine wheels must reyolve
at very high speed, thousands Of
revolutions.
The application OF the steam tur-
bine directly to the propeller shaft
thus requires a sacrifice OF pro-
peller efficiency. by running above
best speed. and a great sacrifice
of turbine efficiency. by designing
II for 4 speed which for a steam
turbine Is abnormally low. The
loss of efficiency caused thereby
Is much greater than all the losses
IN the electric motor and genera
tor. The electric drive permits
running the turbine Il high speed
giving best efficiency and small
size. and running the propeller at
the low speed OF good efficiency.
This Is the reason why the
steam ship turbine. though super
o to the r-eciprocating engines Of
old. is not as efficient as the steam
turbine OF u electric power sta
lions.
In battle ships. the direct use Of
h steam turbine on the propeller
shaft has two further disadvant-
ages. which are By the
electric transmission from high
speed steam turbine to low speed
propeller shaft.
The turbine gives a high effici-
ency only at one speed. For trans
liners. which run at full
speed from continent to continent,
this Is satisfactory. Battle ships,
however. must have two efficient
speeds. At racing speed. highest
efficiency is essential. as the
safety OF the ship in battle may
depend on II.
High efficiency is essential at
the lower cruising speed. TO have
a large cruising radius. and the
electric motor, which can be built
at high efficiency at any number
OF speeds. thus has the advantage.
Furthermore. electric machinery
Is far more perfectly under control
than the steam turbine. For re-
versing the ship. a separate "re-
versing turbine is necessary. and
the safety of the ship may often
depend on the rapidly and perfec-
ton of its control.
The replacement of the steam
turbine on the propeller shaft by
electric drive is thus a great {
In advance. giving higher speed
greater cruising radius and more
perfect control of the warship.
The American navy may well be
congratulated on being the first TO
avail itself of this stage OF
progress.

By CHARLES P. sTEINMErZ.
Consulting Engineer, The General Electric Company.

The American dreadnought Cal
lfornia viii be the first electrically
propelled b~attleship OF the United
States and. so far as l know, OF
the entire world.
The huge steam engines OF our
factories and power houses have
been replaced by the steam tur-
bine because OF it's superior effici-
ency, greater reliability and snail
er space requirements. The trans
atlantic records OF the last years
have become possible only By
means OF the steam turbine. All
b navies have adopted II for use.
rom the torpedo boat and destroy
er to the battle cruiser. A few
years ago three identical last
cruisers we're built by our navy
n with reciprocating engines:
n with the English type OF steam
turbine, the Parsons: and one
with the American type, the Cur
tbs turbine.
While both turbine ships proved
their superiority in speed over the
reciprocating engine. they showed
also that in ship propulsion the
steam turbine does not give a su-
periority SO great as Il does In sta
stationary power plants. That
started the development which led
TO the present electric propulsion
by which the ships propellers are
driven by induction motors. which
receive their power from steam
turbine alternators. At FIRST this
appears a complication; but the
electric drive. apparently more
complicated, has less weight and
Is far more eficient-that is. gives
higher speed or less coal consump-
ton; is more reliable; and gives
far better control OF the ship than
the direct use OF the steam turbine
on the propeller shaft.
Modern steamships are driven
by propellers. Such a propeller
looks very much like the blades
OF the electric fan motor OF our
homes and offices. except that Il
Is OF huge size. BY revolving. IL
pushes the water backwards and
so pushes the ship forwards. The
smaller the propeller Is, the faster
must the propeller revolve and
h water be pushed back TO give
the same speed TO the ship. The
speed with which the water is
pushed back, and sucked in in
front OF the propeller. is limited.
When. by 90 high propeller speed.
h suction becomes too great the
water does not follow. A
forms in front of the propeller.
and the propeller thus loses its
power. This is called cavitation.
and limits the propeller speed.
In the steam turbine. the work
Is done by the steam jet impinging
on. or passing through the blades
