| Omitted Pdress Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Radical
changes in the type of new submarines
to be built for Uncle Sans navy are
being worked out by the chief naval
constructor. Navy officials admitted
today that some new wrinkles in sub
mersibles probably will be adopted
when Congress authorizes the pro-
posed new fleet of undersea craft
which will represent the latest
thought in such construction.
Especial attention is being given.
Secretary Daniels states. to the ques-
ton of submarine construction. A
corps of experts, at home and abroad,
are collecting information to be as
simulated in the next new submarine.
Electric propulsion is the latest in
submarines. according to the preseat
determination of the naval construc-
tors. 1t is probable that electric mo-
tors may be used exclusively in the
future. Naval authorities also con-
template divesting the present fleet If
submarines of gas engines and substi-
tuting electric power.
One difficulty in the way OF United
States naval progress in building sub
marines is the patent monopoly"
which confines this government to one
type of submersible This is the Lake
type. While other types with some
most desirable features are being
built, Secretary Daniels says the gov
ernment never has been able to reach
satisfactory terms with patentees of
other submarines than the Lake yarie-
ty. Negotiations are in progress,
however, by which the government
may be able to adopt some of the more
desirable features of other patterns.
The government would not be
barred from using the other subma-
rine patents in case the United States
became involved in war, however, ac-
cording TO Secretary Daniels. He ad-
mitted that the government would not
hesitate to appropriate the submarine
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1915-09-16
SUBMARINE MAY BE DIFFERENT
Craft Using Only Electric Power, Unlike
Lake Boats, May Be Made by Govern
ment Itself, Secretary Daniels Says.

I patents and use them IN building it's
own submarines in time of war. Com
pensation would be given the pat
entees, of course, or they could resort
to the courts-but after the govern
ment had received the benefit of sub
mersible patents. The government,
according to Secretary Daniels, wouli
not hesitate to adopt such policy, as
matter of defense in time of ma
tional peril, without regard to the con-
tract and patent rights of patentees.
Secretary Daniels hopes that Con-
gress will eventually authorize con-
struction by the government itself of
all of its submarines. 1t is now build
ing some on the Pacific coast, the only
government plant at present equip
ped for submarine construction. These
are of the oil burning type.
Speeding up" private contractors
on government submarine contracts is
another innovation promised by the
Secretary. He will insist that
contracts given private concerns stip-
ulate quicker delivery. The Secretary
believes that in the past contractors
have been slow about completing the
government craft He cites the in
stance of the Inflated F4, which sank
last March outside Honolulu harbor.
This boat was only two years old, hav-
ing been commissioned in 1913. but
five years elapsed before Congress au-
thorized her construction and the date.

navy
On the other hand, the Fore River
Construction Company of Massaohu-
sets, has just completed ten electric
submersibles for one of the allies in

were ordered in January and are now
lying. finished. in the ship yards at
Quincy, Mass. BY agreement which
Charles NJ Schwab, who took the or
der for one of the allies, the boats
will be held in American waters until

THEY EARN WHILE THEY LEARN.

The announcement of the Hamilton
Brown shoe factory that student labor
will be employed this year is well
come news to some dozens of stu
dents who came to Columbia with
about enough money ahead to pur-
chase a sandwich or two until a job
materialized.
This takes nerve and it's the kind
of nerve that spells success later on.
A citizen of Columbia who has lived
here for several years told the other
day of dozens of young men and
women who had earned part of their
school expenses as his employees. He
said that he had but very few cases
where the work was not satisfactory,
and he said that as far as he knew
every one of them had made good af-
ter graduatlOn.
A professor in the university told
recently of his first job as a student
in Columbia. He had assisted in

ago. Since those ashes shOveling days

the result is what counts. A student
