POWER OF THE SUBMARINE
So Far as Its Guns Are Concerned,
It Is Just About the Weakest
Thing Afioat.

The first and most striking fact
about the submarine is its capacity to
enter into and operate in waters that
are adversely commanded.
But, once in those waters, the
power Of the submarine is extraordi-~
nariiy limited. Indeed, its capacity to
enter those waters can also be Limit
ed. The use Of nets, Of mines and OF
patrols-especially when assisted by
aircraft-these, at any focal point
which submarines coming or going
must pass, can do much to obstruct
their free passage. The narrower the
waters the easier their control By
these means, and even in comparative
ly open waters great destruction can
be and has becc Gc.c,c ~ surface craft
upon them. .
Apart, altogether, .@om the dangers
to wI:ich the subcc zine is exposed,
what is it's value wien 1t is at work
in hostile waters? It has two weap-
ons-the torpedo anG the gun. It can
carry but few torpedoes-few, that is,s
compared with the number Of rounds
Of gun ammunition that it can stow
away. The torpedo, too, is an uncers
tain weapon at the best Of times, par
ticularly uncertain when aimed while
the submarine is submerged.
Wherever it is possible,S then, the
,a,4o;, 30 +I,o e,,b,ooo-;,,a hoe 5o,,e I,jc
work with his guns. But as gunncd
ship, Arthur H Pollen writes in the
North American Review, the subma-
rine is the weakest thing afoat. Hence
its guns can be used only against ul-s
armed craft. It dare not approach any
armed ship on the surface at all. If it
has to approach an armed ship sub
merged, its speed Of approach is great
ly limited. The highest submerged
speed does not exceed the half-poWer
speed of the slowest warship. Hence
speed and high standard Of vigilance
in ships which are armed make them
altogether immune from submarine at
tack except in rare cases, when, by
pure chance, their course takes them
within the submarines striking radius.
The point is that if the ship is armed
the submarine must keep submerged,
and if it keeps submerged its maneu-
vering speed is low, its capacity to get
within striking 6istance is very limit
ed, and its weapon very uncertain. Il
the ship it intends to strike is both
at speed and accompanied by destroy
ers Of fast craft, the area Of danger
to the submarine and the intensity OF
the vigilance are increased, and the
danger from submarines becomes al
together negligible.

Special from Washington.-"I do not

floor when he arose to say that he
would oppose the passage Of the
pending rivers and harbors bill.
I'VE need the money SO much
more for more important things that
it is criminal in my mind to hesitate

at ALL" Senator Tillman continued.
The senior senator then said that If
the bill should pass $4,000 would be

er than money. This trophy need not
necessarily be expensive. 1t should,
however, be something lasting, to
which the holder can point with pride.
Any breeder would be glad to possess
something of this kind, the true value
of which is in what it represents.
The securing of competent men to
act as judges is an important consider
alton. This problem probably can be
solved comparatively easily by taking
up the matter with the animal huS-
bandry division of the state agricul-
tural college or with the stallion reg
istration board. Either of these bodies
probably will be willing to cooperate
with the local committee and furnish
efficient judges for the show.
Improvement in Quality.
When once established, it will be
found that the annual colt show will do
much to bring about an improvement
in the quality of the horses raised in
the community. These exhibitions,
held preferably at the county seat, will
afford possible prospective buyers an
opportunity to learn something Of the
class of horses being produced in the
locality, and the community will thus
be benefited by the fact that it will
eventually have established itself as
a market for horses that will readily
sell at good prices.
There is every reason to believe that
the practice of holding annual colt
shows will become more general. The
fact that they have increased consid-
erably in the past few years is evidence
that they have not only proved popular
but profitable as well.
The movement through the country
today is not for more horses, but rather
for better horses. Whatever the flu
ture demand may be, the man raising
the better class of horses will receive
the higher price.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1916-12-28

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Colt shows are proving great aid
in stimulating interest in the breeding
of high-class horses. Next to commu-
nifty horse breeders associations and
state stallion license laws there is per-
haps, no other factor that will so ma
terially assist in the improvement of
the horses of the country. 1t is only
in recent years that impetus has been
given to this very important feature in
connection with the rapidly-growing
movement for better horses.
At the present time colt shows are
an annual event in many districts of
number of the states, chiefly where
stallion license laws are in effect. AS
an illustration of the popularity of
these shows and the keen interest man.
ifested in them by the people of the
farming communities, it is reported
that in 1915 no less than 25 colt shows
were held in the state of Minnesota
alone. In some sections these shows
are held in the spring, but in a ma
jority of cases the fall of the year is
selected. The latter season appears
to be preferable for number of rea-
sons. At that time the heaviest part
of the farm work is about over; and
with more time to spare, farmers will
take greater interest in the event and
the object for which it is held.
Feature Of County Event.
These exhibitions are invariably held
Independent of the county fair, al
though there is apparently no reason
why show Of this kind could not be
made an important and outstanding
feature of the annual county event.
In some instances these shows were
inaugurated with simply one class for
grade draft foals and have gradually
grown until the classification is almost
as complete as that of the state fair.

enough money left in the players
pool to give each player on the second
place clubs $500.
Graded down we could give each
third place player $500 each, each
fourth place player $500, fifth place
player $3.50, sixth place 5000, seventh
place player $3.50 and eighth place
500. This schedule might be subject
to revision, but 1 believe the various
sums would approximate about these
amounts.
"By distributing this annual reward
we would create an incentive for all
the players to try to finish as high as
possible.
"All the club owners in both leagues
now share in the worlds series, so why
shouldn't all the players? Twenty
five per cent of the money earned on
the series by each club is turned over
to its league and this reduces each
clubs assessment.
