All these influences were unfavorable
to the young man, but none of them
a excuse his treachery to his father.
AbsaIom's Conspiracy.
There were judges throughout the
land of Israel to decide ordinary causes
of discomfort; but when their decisions
were unsatisfactory, appeal was made
to the king. David was bnsily engaged
In preparing materials for the Temple,
which was not to be built until after
his death. This may to some extent
have hindered his work as superior
Judge, so that Some cases, as in every
court, were delayed of a hearing.
We are not sure, however, that my
thing was lacking respecting King Da-
vid's administration of justice. We
merely know that his crafty son Alb
salon very graciously heard the peo-
pies complaints, and very cunningly
expressed sorrow for their delay, say
ing, would that l were king. 1t
would be different" Thus by decep-
ton, intrigue, falsehood, he ''stole the
hearts of the people" from his father.
They really began to think that If ABB
salon We're king, they would be i'm
mensely better off. They seem to have
overlooked the fact that God was their
King, and that King David merely sat
upon the throne of the Lord.
Absalom knew of his fathers reli-
gious sentiments, which apparently he
did not at all share. He realized that
he would not probably be his fathers
choice for a successor; and that it
would o be time for a new king. as
King David was aged. Following Sa-
tan's curse of ambition and disloyal-
ty to God, he became disloyal to his ia
Their the king. He recruited an army,
proclaimed himself king, and did the
matter so quickly and so thoroughly
that King David and his army and his
loyal courtiers fled for their lives. Our
lesson recounts the battle between Alb
sa1om's superior forces and King Da-
vid's smaller army, which, however.
were better trained soldiers. King Da-
vid was victorious. Absalom was slain.
Notwithstanding King David's urgent
request that his soldiers should not
kill the young man.
What a contrast We have here be-
tween the man after Gods own heart
and the man whom the people admired

full, the intriguing, the rebellious, who
sought his fathers life! The man of

President to Help Daniels
Frame Naval Bill For Congress

while Secretary Daniels hopes for
more information from the war zone
upon which the United States can
build with profit and safety.
So far little information has been
received to aid the naval constructors
All the belligerents are maintaining
the strictest secrecy as to their plans
or the lessons they have drawn for
themselves from the few sea battles.
American naval attaches at London,
Paris and Berlin have had little op-
portunity to furnish enlightening re-
ports and there have been no foreign
observers aboard any of the war
fleets at sea.
1t is said that the American at
tache at Berlin has had opportunity
TO see considerable or the work gong
on in German yards, but if so he has
been under the strictest injunctions
not to reveal what he has observed.
even in official communications, dur
ing the continuance of the war.
The greatest question that has come
out of the war is considered by many

American naval officers to be the fr-
ture of the dreadnaught. So far as
is known, not single capital ship
has been engaged and the value of
these enormously expensive fighting
machines is still as problematical as 1t
was when England launched the f,rst
all-big-gun ship, the Dreadnaught
England's newest superintendent,
the Queen Elizabeth, has bombarded
the forts at the Dardanelles but so
far as the navy department advices go,
she is the only ship of her class to
have fired shot so far.
The reason for that, navy officers
say, is the full realization of pre-
dictions made for submarines when
the first undersea boat was construct
ed Against those small and compare
lively inexpensive weapons, no ade-
Quate means of defense has been found
and the first line ships of the fighting
navies are behind mine fields or a
screen of torpedo boats and destroy
ers, leaving the active work of the
war to the older pre-dreadnaugh bat
tleships, the battle cruisers and
lighter and less expensive craft.
When the first maneuvres of the
American navy in which submarines
participated took place, some officers
| declared the day of the battleship had
passed. I'm theory, every big ship
which approached shore during those
| operations was destroyed. Events of
the European war, so far as they are
known apparently bear out that as
sumption OF the superiority of subma-
rines and that is proving vexing pro-
blem in deciding what shall be the
future American policy of naval con-
struction.
Navy engineers now are deeply en-
gagged with experiments LOOKING m tba

against submarine attack. Should
they find solution of the problem. the

to obtain appropriations for swift bat
tle-cruisers such as those employed
by the British and German navies,
Lacking a merchant marine to be
protected and being a self-contained
nation, fully able to support itself
with the resources within it's own
borders, they argue that battle cruis-
ers have not been concentrated upon
getting the greatest possible number
of heavy battleships, floating fortress
es to defend the coasts. That theory,
also accounts for the lower speed of
American superdreadnaughts it is
said, and the greater concentration of
gun power in ships of American de-
sign compared to similar ships abroad
With fleets of submarines stationed
along both coasts and with navy
yards equipped to care for them, thos,
officers argue that even the battle
ships could be spared from the de-
Tense line and that no enemy would
dare approach with ships and trans
ports coast well mined and defended
with land guns as we'll as submarines
The risks would be too great. the
chances of overwhelming disaster too
many.
1t is certain that Congress will be
asked to provide literally in auxiliary
ships for the present navy, particul-
arly as to parent ships for submarine
f1otillas. Navy officers are obtaining
ali possible data on German and Brit
ish submarine tenders and may propose
the construction of several of those
vessels so designed as to be able to
raise sunken submarines, or even to
take abroad and transport for consid
cradle distances several of the little
hghting ships Reports have reached
the United States of several such ships
in the European navies.
1t is also probable that a number of
swift scout cruisers will be recon-
and that consistent cruise
program will DO proposed designed to
give the navy an ample fleet of these
ships within few years. AS yet, how
ever, there is nothing to indicate the
of better cruisers at
this time. The department, it is init
mated, probably will content itself
with laying before Congress a full
of the arguments for
md against that type.

abandonment of dreadnaught building
in favor of a huge submarine fleet.
Other officers declare the backbone of
navy must always be in first line
battleships and are urging larger and
more heavily armed dreadnaughts
than ever. Some place-between these
two schools Of theory, it is said, the
course of the department will lie in
its recommendations to congress.
Officers who advocate the subma-
rine navy say that it is thoroughly
practicable for the United States be-
cause the mission of the American
navy is to defend the United States
from invasion, not to prepare the way
for an American invasion og an enemy
country. That, they declare, has al
ways been the theory of the navy de-
partment and accounts for the fact
that no great efforts have been made

big ship program will be vindicated.
While nothing has been revealed of
their experiments, it is assumed that
questions of greater sub division f
hulls and stronger bulkheads, of ar
NOR to extend about the midship Sec
tons of battleships below the water
line and capable of resisting the blow
Of modern torpedo, and also the
location of submarines at a consid-
cradle distance and their pursuit by
swift, light, easily handled craft such
as destroyers, are being considered
The latter defense is the only practi-
cal one which seems to have met
with any success abroad, so far as is
known, yet officers here point out that
at best, it is like searching for a nee
die in haystack, and that the de-
stroyer defense does not meet the
problem in anything like an adequate
way.
Location and destruction CT subma-
rines by aeroplanes also is considered
impracticable in any but special cases
where weather, depth of water and
other conditions make it. possible.
Bomb dropping from aeroplanes even
over far-reaching land Notifications
and other easily visible stationary OBJ
jects, has not proven so successful as
to give much promise where a small,
dimly-viible shape beaneth the surface
of the water is the target.
Similarly, submarine against sub
marine is not considered a possible de-
yelopment of undersea warfare I'M
less some new and startling device to
give submarine commander the power
of underwater vision is discovered. 4
submarine is blind thing, once its
periscope is below the surface. One
OF the novel exploits of the war, how
ever, was the sinking of an Italian
submarine by an Austrian underwater
boat. The reports of the encounter,
however, were not sufficiently COM
plete to indicate the value of that sort
of warfare.
The result of the development of the
submarine, with widening range of
action, mounting disappearing guns
for surface action, and with increas-
lng numbers of torpedo tubes, as
shown by reports from Europe, has
been to create school of naval officers
here who are said to be urging the
