Il:
Practice AMI Theory.
What succeeded to the first great
blow was a series OF efforts intended
to be spaced apart by about the time
required to reOrganiZe the attack,
and especially to bring up heavy
munitionment. But when II came to
practice, instead of theory. the in
tended regular advance by successive
and calculated steps failed. The fac
tor of time has been quite dispropor-
tionate To the result aimed at, ard the
factor Of exhaustion in men has also
been dispropOrtionlte. Further. after
a comparatively early stage in the
action it was clearly found impossible
to proceed by successive general eff
forts. The first general effort, by
which | mean tha effort upon a
broad front. was succeeded by a
great number of particular efforts
against narrow fronts That part Of
the plan which has come nearest to
realization has been the succession Of
intensive bombardments The supply
of munitionment has been kept up
perhaps beyond the expectation OF the
allies and shows so far no sign Of
failing. 1t is clear that the expcn-
diture of munitionment is at far
greater rate than the supply can pos
sibly be. but still the supply is coming
in on to this particular sector at a
rate superior to that which was per-
haps calculated for it upon the other
side"
Mr.. Belloc says that he regards an
estimate Of two million as the total
German loss during the Verdun at
tack as too low.

Present Day Warfare Has
Proven Successful Ma
ton Must Have Them.
DON'T NEED TORPEDO
Perfection of Big Guns Ac-
tion Always Takes Place
Out of Torpedo Range.

Correspondence OF Ths Associated Press }
LONDON, May S.--According to
ritish naval architects, the present
war has demonstrate concluSively
that naval supremacy rests with the
nation possessing the greatest mum
ter of all big gun ships. They lie
clare the big gun with the long range
is the dominating factor and It is in
the direction of perfecting big guns
and perfecting the armor of ships
that their energies Will be.
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 viii be fitted
with torpedo tubes.
Favor big suns.
T Il. Abel, professor of naval
architecture at Liverpool university.
declares emphatically that the eXper-
fences OF the war have given conclu-
siVe arguments in favor of the all
big gun ship and has fully justified
the policy which Admiral Low Fisher
initiated in the conception of the
dreadnaught Professor Abel de-
clares that secondary armament Of
battleShips is now rendered practi-
ally useless.
In the predreadnought era, battle
ships were armOred with l2-incn guns
as primary armament, 80 and 6-inch
guns as secondary armament ana
often a large number of smaller
weapons. The Russo-Japanese war,
however, demonstrated the uselessness
of this so-called secondary armament
and out of the o-Japanese war
was evolved the dreadnaught, heavily
armed craft mounting ten l2-inch and
"a 12-pounder guns
Six-inch Not Effective.
While the six-inch gun was and
often is of use in repelling attack of
torpedo craft, with the increased
armament of destroyers and the in
creased striking range of the torpedo.
some cloud is cast upon the wisdom OF
burdening a ship with siX-inch guns
and the argument is advanced that at
n range of four miles, which is the ef-
fective range of the modern torpedo.
the six-inch weapon would not prove
very effective against a destroyer.
Professor Abel is emphatic regard
ing the nondesirability of fitting bat
tleships and battle cruisers with tor
pedo tubes. mo experience in the
present war" he says, appears to
justify its present existence; in fact.
there appears every reason of dispens-
ing with it altogether in the battleshlp
and battle cruiser.
Torpedo Good Once.
He point out that originally the
torpedo was intended for use by cap
ital ships engaged at close range. Now,
however, the range at which decisive
actions are fought having SO greatly
increased, owing to the perfecting of
the big gun and the range finder, the
action always takes place we'll outside
the striking distance Of a torpedo. De-
stroyers and light cruisers. vessels
outside the capital class will certainly
retain torpedo tubes, for in actions be-
tween such craft, the range would be
we'll within the limits Of the torpedo.

SHORTAGE OF GASOLINE
Pacific Coast Due for Famine Unless Measures Are Effected to Offset Threat, Forecast to Engineers.

Globe, Ar1z., Sept. 22.-A serious gasoline shortage on the Pacific Coast, the effect of which would extend throughout the entire country during the next year, was predicted here to- day during the closing sessions of the convention of the American Institute of Mining Engineers.
 w. R. Hamilton of San Francisco presented the gasoline industry data to the engineers. According to MT. Hamilton, the only possible means of increasing gasoline production are bv the increased production of either light oil or casinghead gasoline. low ering the grade of market gasoline or by successful innovations in ref1n- ing methods. Most of these solutions MT. Hamilton explained as impractic- able in the immediate future, although he said that by lowering the grade of gasoline, production could be increased from 30 to 50 per cent. He attributed the future gasoline shortage to de- creased production of refnable oil (the decrease amounting to 6,OOO.OOO barrels in 1915,D steadily increasing consumption, the discontinuance of imports and the heavy exports due to the European war demands.
 Discussing the value of chemistry to the coal mining industry, Edwin M. Chance declared in a paper read at today's meeting that Americans have in the past been purchasing coal on it's looks rather than because of it's heating power He made public re- suits of experiments which showed dull appearing coal to have better heating and burning properties than the bright cOals which have formerly demanded premiums in the market. It is said that this discovery will greatly help to offset the cost of coal produc- ton without materially increasing the costs to the consumer. AE 4 atz
 Tomorrow the engineers will leave Globe in a hundred automo obifes for a days tour of the Apache Trail and an inspection of the Roosevelt Dam, probably the greatest engineering feat of it's kind in the world.

JOKER CAUSES SCARE.
Finds Old Short Time Notice and
 Men Take it for Real Thing

A report gained some circulation today that the New Britain Machine company was about to go on short time, seven hours per day and five days per week, owing to a falling off, in business. Superintendent A. Buol emphatically denied the story and in vestigation showed that it was the re- suit of a practical joker.
 One of the employees found an old notice used a couple of years ago to inform the men of a change in the working hours and, changing the date, he posted it on the bulletin board as a practical joke. It had it's desired effect on those who saw it before it was removed and they quickly spread the apparently discoucaging news.
