MAKE BIG GUNS ABSOLETE
Western Inventor Devises an Aerial
Torpedo That Gives Promise
of Effectiveness.

What may eventually prove to be a
highly effective war implement, and, IL
so, possibly render present heavy ar
tillery obsolete for long range opera
tions, is self-controlled aerial tor
pedO that has lately been developed in
Colorado. 1t is described in the Au-
gust number of Popular Mechanics
Magazine. In a general way. the In
strument attempts to accomplish over
land what the United States navy's
new wireless torpedo does ut sea. Its
principle and method of operation, Of
course, are entirely different. AS is
to be inferred. it consists of small
aircraft-much like an ordinary BIZ
plane-carrying large, hlgh-explosive
torpedo which 1t is designed to drop
at any predetermined spot within u
certain radius. The prOjectile, which
is about twelve feet in length, forms
the body of the machine and is divided
Into two compartments. The propel-
Ter is mounted at the front end of 1t,
while the shaft extends through the
entire torpedo to the rear compart-
ment where an 1S-horsepOwer motor
Is housed. The speed and course Of
the machine are regulated by means Of
gyroscopic mechanism, while tim
Ing device of some sort releases the
engine containing missile Mt the prop
er instant for it to strike Its target.

nance of all American rights on land
and sea" and for adequate national
defense-adequate protection on both
our western and eastern coasts"
I'VE denounce all plots and con-
spiracies in the interest Of any for
eign nation" Mr.. Hughes said. "Ut-
tsrly intolerable Is the use of our soil
for alien intrigues. Every American
must unreservedly condemn them and
support every effort for their suppress
sion"
The nominee assailed the admins
tration for its direction of diplomatic
intercourse" from the beginning. de-
claring that where there should have
been conspicuous strength and expert
ness there had been weakness and in

had gone to Deserving Democrats"
and to the failure to continue Ambas-
sador Herrick at his post In Paris as
after the war had started as "a Ia
mentable sacrifice Of international re-
pute."

The $3.50 tons of ore produced. val

THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

1T COSTS MORE.

The continued increase in the price
OF materials entering into the con-
struction OF a newspaper has made 1t
necessary to fix the subscription rate
OF The Daily Gate City by mail at $500
per year, on rural routes as well as
in the cities and towns-keokuk not
included, where the paper is deliver
ed by carrier at ten cents per week.
This rate is effective February /, 1916
We trust that our subscribers will
not complain over this slight increase,
and we believe they will not when
they are told that the expense of pub
fishing The Gate City has more than
doubled within the past ten years. The
subscription price of The Gate City a
few years ago was $500 per year. and
the cost of operation very much less
than it is today Mail subscriptions
are maintained at a loss. The metro
politan papers sell their product
very cheaply and much below cost for
advertising purposes. Having such a
wide field for advertising solicitation,
circulation. as Improbable as 1t is,
indirectly contributes to advertising
value and thereby overcomes to some
extent the subscription loss. The
small daily is at a disadvantage, not
being able to gather enough adver-
Using to overcome the subscription
deficit. Many of the dailies. in order
to maintain their high standard of
newspaper excellence, are increasing
the price OF their paper.
