There was oncr man who smiled.
Because the DAY was bright,
Because he slept at night,
Because God gave him sight
To gaze upon HIS child:
Because hfE little one
Could leap aud laugh and run.
Because the distant sun
Smiled on the earth, he smiled.
He toiIed and sim was glad,
Because the air was free,
Because he loved, and she
That claimed his love and he
Shared all the joys. they had
Because the grasses grew.
Because the sweet winds blew,
Because that he could hew
And hammer. he was glad.
Because he lived he smiled,
And did not look ahead
With bitterness or dread,
But nightly sought his bed
AS calmly as child,
And people called him mad.
For being always glad
With such things AZ he had.
And Ghook their heads land smiled

A SUMMARY OF THE SUBMARINE,
ITS LIMITATIONS AND ITS
WEAKNESSES.

"The American navy" the rear admiral re-
piled to me quietly commands the services
of some of the most gifted tacticians, some of
the ablest sailors construction experts and
engineers in the whole of the naval world.
America is justly famous for the inventive
genius of her sons. | take it, therefore, that
back of the new American programme there is
enough naval wisdom TO astound US all if we
could only find out the real truth about it,
This reply was as discouraging as a wet
blanket. But, fortunately or unfortunately,
| am one of those who suffer from a fit Of un-
reasonable obstinacy on the most unnatural
occasions. | refused to be discouraged.
"Well. admiral" ventured "this war has
taught the value of the submarine, if moth
ing else"
1T has shown their limitations and their
weaknesses, if that is what you mean" an
swered Rear Admiral Akiyama. mo doubt
the submarine is an excellent defensive
weapon. Germany, it is true, developed IFS
possibilities a good deal in the present war,
She had to- 1t was her only practical sea
weapon. It's achievements so far have been
exceedingly good for the newspapers; they
are theatrical and dramatic and sensational.
They appeal to the popular Imagination.
They stir the blood of adventure. They are
effective against unarmed merchantmen, and
in the first stage of the war; when the British
navy had not developed adequate defence
against them, they accomplished notable feats
even against armed ships. Those days are
past now. / make the statement without re-
serve. The submarine can pass under the en-
envy line of ships commanding sea area and
it can operate in the hostile waters mac
cessible to surface craft. It's operating ra-
dius could be largely extended over what 1t
has done so far, perhaps. The submarine
could possibly be built much larger; 1t even
could be made suitable to operate thousands
of miles from the home base with ease.
But there seems to be a definite limita-
ton to the weapons it is able to use; they are
the torpedo under the surface and the gun
above the water. The torpedo is VIGOROUSLY
uncertain weapon to depend on for sure re-
suits, not to mention its high cost. Torpedoes
cannot be carried in such quantities as gun
ammunition. And above the surface the sub

THE LESSON OF THE JUTLAND
CLASH is THE SUPREMACY
OF THE BATTLESHIP.

| wish the whole American nation could have
seen the rear admiral as he said this. More
particularly do wish that all the foannng and
frothing mot to say frothy) editorial writers
and all the frenzied jngoists and Japo-perilists
had been there to see him. 1t wasn't merely
what he said. It was the tone Of his voice; t
was the lighting up of his features that &C
companied his remarks. If this tremendous
naval expansion programme Of the United
States were the iron-riveted guarantee OF the
peace of the Pacific, the rear admiral could
not have shown deeper satisfaction And,
indeed. what prophet is there to deny that the
new and sublimated edition of the American
navy does not mean just that very thing?
"Six hundred Millions" l said, ''is good
deal of money to spend. even for these Amerl-
can plutocrats. And very naturally they are
interested in every little delicate hint, lesson
or puzzle of the naval war; such suggestions
as the great battle of the Jutland Bank has to
offer 20 the learned of the lore, for instance
well, after all the battle smoke is cleared
Il do not mean the smoke OF the Battle OF
Jutland Bank alone, but the smoke of the per-
sistent and big naval discussions the world over
to-day-it seems to me the battleshlp fleet is
destined TO say the last and deciding word. IL
did on the North Sea. The Battle of Jutland
Bank seems TO point most decisivey and elo-
ouently TO this conclusion. There was diner
ence between the Furnishing power Of the Brit
ish Grand Fleet under Admiral Jeicoe and
that of the German High Sea Fleet. And that
difference sent the German ships home TO their
base 10 sleep-at least for time-and left
Britannia still in the full enjoyment of her
SWAY over the seas. A navy is built just for
that difference; there is no other reason for
the construction of it but to bring about just
that difference. Suppose now, for instance,
Germany had had ten more super-dreadnought
units at the Battle of Jutland Bank. We can
hardly imagine what stupendous change this
might have brought about in the conduct OF
the whole war 1t would have meant COM
nIete change Of conditions on the seas, OF
course: il would also have necessitated an en-
tire and revolutionary alteration OF the plans
on land. Il would have affected the economic
conditions of the fighting powers fundamen-

I am sailor This is frankly sailors

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CON
CORNING BIG GUNS AND
BIGGER.

81 have been told,7 said, that the Brit
ish did not have an easy time deciding what
size guns they should have on their first
line ships About one-half of the officers
and experts favored the 15-inch gun, in place
of the 135-nchers, on the ground Of the
added power and the better chances of hits
because of the fatter trajectory Of the big
ger guns But the other half of their expert
opinion held out for the smaller guns. The
two factions were so evenly balanced that a
mere layman, Mr.. Winston Churchill, was
called upon-or rather forced-to make the
final decision. He selected the l5-inchers.
Now, did the Battle Of Jutland Bank or any
other engagements of the present war prove
either the wisdom or error Of Mr.. Churchills
Judgment"
unfortunately, was not one Of the eye
witnesses at the great naval battle or Jut-
land Bank
but, admiral, is not the tendency in al
most every navy for bigger ships and bigger
gunsw
"All depends on the work a navy is expected
to do, on the destiny which shapes its end.
There are times, dare say, in every navy
when the admiral in command OF the fleet
yearns for 15-inch guns. And then. again,
he devoutly prays for greater number Of
Pinch rifles, instead of the fewer. heavier
and slower shooting pieces 1t is a delicate
point A man in love with ex-cathedra
dogmas should steer clear Of it."
There is one thing about the present Amer
lean naval programmes which amazes US mere
laymen,' / went on; "amazes, in fact, more
than mere laity-it almost scandaliZes soma Of
the thoroughly able British technical critics,
among others. And that is the cost Of the
proposed American ships. Ten super-dread
noughts are to cost about SlS, 500 900 each,
and the battle cruisers over $20,000,000 each,
and the scout cruisers something like $4,000
900 apiece. The flagship Of Admiral Jellicoe's
Grand Fleet, the Iron Duke, cost about Sl0,-
600, 900 and the British spent, approximately,
the same amount for their battle cruisers Of the
Queen Mary type. OF course, steel is much
higher now and the shipbuidng conditions in
America are much more expensive than on the
Tyne.
But, even so, why should America spend
for her ten battleships enough money TO build
nineteen Of the most formidable fighting ships
afloat to-day? The same applies TO their
scouts; the British are reported to have spent
less than 100000 for the Arethusa type.
And America is to spend for similar craft
something like $50 per cent more money!"
The rear admiral looked at me quietly as
if nothing particularly ridiculous had hap
pened
do you come to me for an explanation OF
all ths?" he said. 1T did not occur TO you to
90 to Admiral Dewey and the gentlemen Of
the General Board? Don't misunderstood me;

on this war as upon the struggle century
ago."
America seems to appreciate the value OF
sea power" said I. "And they are saying here
just what they think about it. in their charac-
teristically pointed and businesshke manner;
they are to spend something like S600,000,O0O
within the three years to come to build up
great navy. The total amount is to be devoted
almost exclusively to the construction of new
ships. Heaven only knows just how much this
nation will spend before it is finished with its
present imposing programme"
America is literally coming millions upon
millions of dollars out of this war" the Rear
Admiral remarked. "Her wealth now seems to
pass all understanding of the Ancients, and the
Moderns as well. She can easily afford to
spend the entire amount appropriated on her
