BIG-GUN SHIPS
WILL RULE SEA
British Say War Has Dem.
onstrated They Mean
Naval Supremacy.

London. April l4.-According &c
British naval architects. the present
war has demonstrated conclusively tina;
naval supremacy rests with the nation
possessing the greatest number of all
big-gun ships. They declare the big
gun with the long range j. the domi-
mating factor. and II is in the direction
OF perfecting big guns and perfecting
the srmor Of ships that their energies
will be bent.
The torpedo. they contend, IS OF no
great account in the armament Of the
capital ship. and it is doubtful whether
the battleship and battle-cruiser Of the
future will be fitted with torpedo tubes.
Professor 7. B. Abel. professor OF
naval architecture at Liverpool Uni
yersity. declares emphsticslly that the
experiences Of the war have given con-
elusive arguments in favor Of the all
bg-gun ship. and has fully justified
the policy which Admiral Fisher initial
ed in the conception of the dread
nought. Professor Abel declares that
secon dairy armament Of battleships IS
now rendered practically useless.
In the pre-dresdnought era battle
ships were armored with 12-inch guns
as primary armament. 30 and 8 inch
guns as secondary armament. and often
large number OF smaller weapons
The Russo-Japanese war, however.
demonstrated the uselessness o. this
so-called secondary armament, and out
of the Russo-Japanese war was evolved
the dresdnought. heavily armed craft.
mounting ten l2-inch and twenty-foui
l2-pounder guns.
While the 6-inch gun was. and often
is. OF use in repelling attack OF tor
pedo craft. with the increased arma-
ment Of destroyers and the increased
striking range OF the torpedo some
cloud IS cast upon the wisdom OF bur
dening a shin with 6-inch guns, and
the argument is advanced that az a
range Of four miles. which is the ef-
fcctive range Of the modern torpedo.
,he 6-inch weapon would not. prove
very effective against a destroyer
Professor Abel is emphatic regard
ing the non-desirability OF hitting bat
tleships and battle-cruisers with tor
pedo tubes. no experience in the
present war" he says. appears 10 JUS
tify It's present existence; in fact, there
appears every reason Of dispensing
with il altogether in the battleship ana
battle-cruis
He points out that originally the
torpedo was intended for use by CAPT
tai ships engaged at close range. Now,
however, the range az which decisive
actions are fought having so greatly
increased. owing to the perfecting Of
the big gun ard the range-tnder, the
action always cakes place well outside
the striking distance OF q torpedo. De-
s.royers and light cruisers. vessels out
side the capital class, will retain tor
pedo tubes, To- in actions between sucn
craft the range would be well within
the limits OF the torpedo.

Baby Week
A Feature
A National Observance Fol-
Better Babies

Throughout the county today
communities are beginning a baby
week campaign, in accordance with
plans formulated by the national
government, by holding special SER
vices in the churches with appro-
pirate sermons by the pastors on
baby welfare.
In every part of the country
scores of events of all kinds will be
held during the week, with the one
idea that appeals to all: that men
and women shall be awakened to
the needs and the greater care of
the baby. 1t is safe to say that
hundreds of thousands of women
will take part in various means that
will be adopted throughout this
notable week to do something that
will draw attention to subject that
lies so close to every woman's h cart
and interest. .....,..-.- .~--..-.
We are conserving our forests
our mines, our water power. What
are we doing to conserve human
life, our greatest national assest?
National Baby Week commenced
Sunday, March 5, and will continue
through Saturday. Why wouldn''
it be a good idea for the Kendricl
merchants to make special display
of articles needed for the prope
care of babies. We have heard O
of nothing being done here to oh
serve this day, while all, or nearl
all of the surrounding towns, ar
doing something to show thei
appreciation of this worthy move
ment.
