Continued from last week.
Another scene of unbounded en-
thusiasm was witnessed on the
second great evening, when it was
announced that General Secretary
William Show, LII. D., had felt it
his duty, as a part of the citizenship
learned in Christian Endeavor, to
run as prohibition candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts,, while
the great temperance addresses of
Associate President Polling and DR..
Ira D. Landrith were cheered to the
echo.
There was great rejoicing over
the fact that is was the Christian
Endeayor Convention at Atlantic
City in 1911 tn at gave to the nation
the slogan, "A Saloonless Nation
by 1920" which has now been
adopted by all the temperance
forces. Mr.. Polling added another
clause in one of his addresses, "A
Saloonless World by 1880" That
is goal worth while.
The Convention was equally pro-
nounced on the question of world.
peace and a federation of nations
that shall make future great wars
impossible.
During the second evening SEES
sion dne oil painting of DR.. Clark,
recently completed by Artist Alfred
E. Smith, of Boston, was purchased
by the voluntary offering of the
Convention, and will be presented
to DR.. Clark.
DR.. Clark's message TO the En-
deayorers of the world was an in
spring call to Mobilize, Vitalize,
Evangelize. He said Gin part): Il
appeal to you Endeavorers, as mil
lionaires, to mobilize, vitalize,
evangelize the millions. You are
not millionaires in money: but you
are in numbers, in opportunities,
and in the strength which Christ,
your great leader, provides. Think
in millions; work for millions;
achieve millions. l would not take
your breath away. l am speaking
words of truth and solemness.
Here is what ask you to achieve,
in the name of the Master, and
trusting in Him for strength, dur
ing the next two years:
"A Million New Converts.
A Million New Endeavors.
"A Million New Church Mem bers.
"A Million New Dollars for Mis-
sions.
"A Million New Members of the
Peace Union.
Ten Thousand New Societies of
Christian Fndeavor.
Twenty Thousand New Com
rades of the Quiet Hour.
Ten Thousand New Legion aries.
Ten Thousand New Christian
Endeavor Experts.
Five Thousand New Life Work
Recruits.
This is not too large task for
the eager, earnest Endeavorers of
the world. We once before added
a million new members and ten
thousand new societies intwo years
time. With all the world enlisted

AERIAL TORPEDO
BOAT PATENTED
Consists of AGrOpIanG Equipped
With Whitehead PrOjeCtiIe.
COULD ENTER ANY PORT.

Rear Admiral Fiske inventor of New
Device-PIan to Guide the Missile of
Destruction by Radio From Another
Aeroplane-Experts Think Well of
Scheme.
An aerial torpedo boat for attack on
ships in protected harbors is projected
in patents just issued to Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske, now attached to the
navy war college, but formerly aid for
operations to Secretary Daniels.
The plan contemplates equipping
monster aeroplane, similar to a number
now under construction in this coun-
try for the British government, with
a Whitehead torpedo of regulation navy
type.
SwoOping down at a distance of five
the air craft would drop it's deadly
passenger into the water just as 1t
would have been launched from a de-
stroyer. The impact sets the torpedo's
machinery in motion. and it is off at a
speed of more than forty knots an
hour toward the enemy ship.
Could Attack In Fortified Harbor.
Admiral Fiske believes that the fly
ing torpedo boat would make it posi-
BILE to attack Il fleet even within Il
landlOcked harbor. The range of the
newest navy torpedOes is 10000 yards,
and even the older types will be er-
fective at 1000 yards. Carried ON a
huge aerOplane, the 1000 pound weap-
on would be taken over harbOr defenses
at an altitude safe from gunfire. Once
over the bay, the machine would glide
to within ten or twenty feet of the
water, the torpedo rudders would be
set and it would be dropped to do its
work while the aeroplane rose and sped
away.
Aeroplanes to carry a ton of dead
weight have been perfected by sew
eral countries. Russia is said to have
several that will carry twenty men
and the new British air craft probably
will have q similar capacity.
Wireless Guides Torpedo.
1t Is said to be possible that type
Of radio controlled torpedo might be
employed, one aerOplane carrying the
torpedo and another carrying the wire
less machinery to control the missiles
flight through the water. 1t Is pointed
out that Admiral Fiske secured patents
on such a method of control in 1890
when he was a lieutenant Ia the navy.
They are said to be so broad and far
reaching as to underlie all subsequent
development Of radio cOntrO! devices.
"My invention" said the application
fled by Lieutenant Fiske before the
battle Of Manila was fought. "is espe-
ctally applicable to automobile tor
pedOes and makes 1t possible to con-
troll the movements of a torpedo with
great certainty from shore, from the
deck Of a ship or the like"
Since the aerial torpedo plan was
advanced reports have come that Ger
man engineers were at work with q
somewhat similar scheme. 1t is pro-
posed to drop from aeroplanes tor
pedo that can be guided by radio i'm
pulses during its fall and sent with
absolute certainty TO It's mark.

Official figures Of foreign commerce
for May tell a story with which the
American business man has become
very familiar during the past six
months.
There has been a large increase In
exports OF all lines of goods that are
required as war supplies, such as iron
and steel products, packing house stuffs,
wooden goods. chemicals, cottonseed oil
and cake, all metal goods except cop
Per, leather goods, automobiles and
trucks, cotton goods and refined sugar.
Some Of these articles, as sugar, for
instance, are not classified strictly as
war supplies, but are in demand be
cause of the shutting off Of German,
Austrian and Russian supplies from
countries like England and Turkey
that import all the sugar they con
sumo.
The falling off in foreign trade dur
ing May appears directly in pig copper,
which is - per cent less than in April;
boards and plankS. 80 per cent less;
agricultural implements, 80 per cent
less electrical apparatus, 10 per cent

1t isn't the man who goes up with
the tide 9sA
AS ii easily floats him along.
But the man against whom il has
turned, that deserves
The honor of wreath and song.
The man who still battles against
the tide.
And struggles to reach the goal.
All. ne is the hero life greets with
pride
Because q bis fauptless soul.
The struggier there in the angry
deep
That against him is rolling its
flood;
Watch how he fights in the cur
rents sweep
With the spirit of JOY in his
blood.
His battle is terrible all the while.
AS the waters keep dashing him
down: aafsft
But it's better than drifting with
song and smile
On the tide that ripples to town.
The many ride on the friendly wave
OF the river of life each day.
But the souls that are bright with
the gift called brave
Are the men that are tossed in
the spray;
The men that must battle from
hour 10 hour
Against the tides that are strong;
And not the fellows with plenty of
power
That drift with the stream along.
