SEES TRIUMPH
FOR CHURCHILL
London Believes His Ca
reer Did Not End with
His Resignation.

SAYS LORD FISHER

Declares, While Britain Is
Plunged In War.
fPy Cable 10 The Tribune. J


London, Nov. l6.-Winston Churchill
will leave for the front tomorrow to
join his regiment In Northern France.
London, remembering the ovation the
former Lord Of the Admiralty received
in the House Of Commons yesterday,
when he made his defence, is confident
that he will be called to a position
other than one of "well paid inactiv
lty" London refuses TO believe that
with his resignation from the Cabinet
the career Of the impetuous Churchill
Is ended. The cheers with which his
frank remarks were greeted yesterday
are sufficient evidence Of that.
Mr.. Churchill has fought in other
British campaigns, in India and Egypt,
and he has won medals for bravery
There are those in official circles here
who think that he told too much yes
terday and that he might have shout
dered the blame until peace had relieved
the tension on the country. But London
does not look at it In that light Lon
dor only knows that Churchill goes 10
tho trenches tomorrow, while many
"slackers," whom the government could
spare far more easily. linger at home.
Admiral Lord Fisher, ex-First Sea
Lord Of the Admiralty, speaking in the
House of Lords to-day, replied to Mr..
Churchill, who complained in his speech
that he had not received from Ad-
mirsl Fisher with respect to the Darda-
nelles attack the clear guidance before
or the firm support after to which ne
was entitled.
Certain references" said Lord
Fisher, were made to me In the speech
delivered yesterday by Mr.. Churchill
| have been sixty-one years in tht SER
vice of my country, and | leave my
record in the hands of my cOuntrymen.
THE Prime Minister said that Mr.
Churchill had said one or two things
he would better not have said, and had
necessarily and naturally left unsaid
some things which would have to be
said. | am content to wait. 1t Is not
fitting to make personal explanations
affecting national interests when my
country is in the midst of a great war"
Lord Fisher then left the House.

serious dent in the bottom Of a bat
tleship.
The Englishman who had devoted his
attention 70 this problem then forgot
about lyddite, battleships and subma-
rines and took up the study of auto
mobiles and aeroplanes. He wanted a
fuse that would act at a given depth
under water, no matter when II had
been fired.
This inventor had been bothered by
the lead pipes In his automobile be-
coming clogged and the gas not getting
TO the engine. He had found that
water would not run freely through a
small tube at atmospheric pressure,
but that If thin wire vas placed In
the tube capillary attraction would
draw the water along the wire through
the tube.
That was the Idea the inventor went
back to when he sought fuse that
would explode a charge of lyddite at a
given depth under water So he made
a fuse Of tube. a piece Of wire and
a pinch Of potash, put the fuse in a
she'll and dropped it overheard. As
soon as 1t dived. the water rushed into
the tube and six feet below the sur
face the water reached the potash and
the she'll exploded. Another she'll, it'll
a longer tube, exploded twelve feet
below the surface.
Timing the Explosion.
A little study and improvement per-
fected a fuse that could be cut and
timed as accurately as the ordinary
time fuse in the old-fashioned she'll

SIR Frederick Edward Smith. the At
torney General, said that no judgment
favorable to the applicant could be en-
forced. as it would involve an order TO
the crown. If II was argued that Sir
Edgar and Sir Ernest were bad i'd
yisers of the King, he declared, the
only remedy was impeachment.
Asked FOR information regarding the
report that Sir Ernest Cassel had sub
scribed S5,000,0O0 to the recent Anglo
French loan, Edwin Samuel Montagu,
speaking in the House Of Commons in
behalf Of Reginald McKenna, Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer declared that he
had no details regarding individual
subscriptions, but remarked that the

conducted careful experiments in land
locked harbors and then the British
navy cleared the sea Of German sub
marines.
Before the invention ~ his under
water she'll. submarine hunting had
been a sport somewhat analogous to
killing mosquitoes or catching flies
with the open hand. The submarines
escaped oftener than they were caught.
They were sometimes trapped when
they came to the surface at night to
recharge their batteries. The Diesel
engine makes such racket that the
submarine hunters could locate tier
prey by the noise of the engines.
With the advent of the diving she'll
and the wet-bob fuse, however, the
British navy invited submarine 1T
tacks. The submarine gladly accepted
the invitation. And then the big ships
opened up with their six-inch guns and
spread a curtain of fire around them
selves in circle with two-mile
radius
Just as the artillery on land makes

Of the advancing infantry, so the Brit
ish battleships set up between them
selves and the submarines a barrier

water.
Running Into Death.
No one will be able to say which
shell sank a particular submarine, but
certain ii is that the German subma-
rnes, speeding for the battleships, ran
straight into this c'rtain Of fire, and
one hundred feet from it received their
death blows from the conclusion.
There is one other experiment which
the sailors await anxiously, and then
their picture OF naval warfare of the
future will be completed. They no
longer fear the submarine. But there
still remain the floating mine and the
mine field. When they. too, have been
accounted for naval battles will once
more be the big fights between capital
ships.
