pistols with them on scout flying they can send
in the pointers even more rapidly than by the
wireless and keep shooting the enemies while
communicating with the armies for which they
are flying. And. there should be magic effect

No Fear Of MiI;tarism.

Note the results of our new recruiting. The
first month netted fewer than 1000 soldiers. IF
since Andrew Jackson was elected to the Presi-
dency, we should now have an army equal in
number to the present British volunteer army,
while As the oldest Of them would now be
about Io2~ years old, that condition is evidently
nadmissible. Does this look as if the average
American was aching to seize rifle and lord it
over his fellows? We compare the British army
because it is recruited most like ours. OF
course, we do not need an army of millions
in time of peace, but comparison with any other
army on earth, in any phase and from any stand
point, makes our military equipment look like
a high light in farce comedv-Boston Herald.

about their immediate downfall by

such manner as the legislature there

perfect consistency be argued that the

In preparing plans for the new shlps
the Navy Department will make an ell
fort to increase the speed OF all types
from battleships to destroyers 10 De-
gin with. It is understood the sPeclhCa-
tions for battleships will be raised TO
A speed of twenty-one knots per hour.
Some of the new battleships are now
making this speed. but 1t hRs not been
required in the contracts. Without dis
organizing the feet, it is believed that
this increase in the speed Of the new bat
tleships can be made.
The battle cruisers, as has been PreVi-
ously announced, are to have speed
Of thirty-fve knots per hour. The same
speed II is understood. will he required
for scout cruisers and there will be an
increase in the speed Of destroyers. Scout
cruisers are virtually large desiroyers.
They will be approximately I,o00-ton
ships and will be built on the general
lines of destroyers.
The department will be able to increase
| the speed Of the new ships largely
/ through the successful operations of the
reduction gear and the electric drive.
| With this equipment small turbine en-
gines can be used in developing the pow
| er for the ships. The smaller turbine en-
gines can be run at high rate of speed
and by the reduction gears the speed of
| the shaft of the propeller can he reduced
| to the number of revolutions which will
make the wheel effective.
Incidently the use of smaller turbine
engines reduces the space and weight
| of the machinery which is required
to produce the necessary horsepower
to propel battleships. Although the
Bureau of Steam Engineering has not
made any great pretentiOns it has de-
| veloped a system of power for battle
ships which will make impossible for
| the department to respond to the de-
mand for a higher rate Of speed for
/ all types OF vessels. Much OF this can
be done without increasing the weight
| of the engines or the space to be oC-
cupied by them in the ships.

cation either of the National Guard or
