ries a charge of 330 pound sof gun
 cotton and has a range or over SIX miles, at a speed of thirty knots. Al a range of four miles it's speed IS about a third greater, or about forty- five knots. The explosive is packed in the head of the torpedo, and Is us-
 ually guncotton, although the Ger
 mans use what they call trinitroto- luene. The explosion is caused by a steel rod which projects a few inches beyond the head of the missile. When this rod or striker comes in contact with any unyielding substance, such as ships side, it is pressed back The body of the torpedo contains the driving and steering machinery. The little engine operates with highly compressed air, and turns the pro- pellors, the propelling machinery be- ing aft. A gyroscope keeps the tor pedo on it's direct path, and a vacuum buoyancy chamber prevents the dead ly contraption from sinking. Between 1877 and 1898, when the Spanish American war broke out, there were only twelve instances in which the torpedo was used in actual warfare. The Russo Japanese war in 1904 af- forded many opportunities for the use of, this deadly weapon of destruction, and Whitehead's invention caused great havoc, being used by both sides. The combination of the sub marine boat and the torpedo had it's first real trial in the present war, with what effect the reader need not be reminded

British Socialists
 Says Uprising Will
 Benefit the Allies

London, March 16-ffenry M. Hynd- man, leader of the socialist party in England, commenting on the Russian revolution, said:
 '"The success of the Russian revo- lution will be regarded as good news everywhere. It certainly is good news for Russia that this crisis, which has been inevitable ever since the death of Rasputin, has come off so smooth ly and with so little pIoodshed. Eng land and France will be the first countries on which the new era should react favorably. It will mean a great difference in the war Moreover. the repercussion soon may be felt in Prus- sia in a demand for similar Hberali- zation of the Prussian government.
 Naturally the socialists in England have been aware for some time of what was going on in Russia. AL though the movement was not social istic 1t had the support of the social 1sts as step in the right direction. The movement has now eliminated in a successful revolution It's head was the advanced party in the duma and council of the empire and some of the commanders at the front. Their movement was aimed at taking the first favorable opportunity to pre- sent an ultimatum to the czar and czarina demanding that they get rid immediately of ali the pro-German forces and influences which have been cripp1ing Russia and threatening it's very life since the beginning of the war;"

MRS. KENDAL.

Mrs. Madge Kendall, one of the most gifted English actresses, was born 68 years ago today in Lincoln shire. She was the daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. w. Robertson, both Of whom were on the stage, and the sis. ter of T. w. RobertsoR, we'll known as a dramatist. As a chiDd she played parts in pantcmime, and she made her grown-up debut in 1865, at the age of 16, as Ophelia to the Hamlet of the late Walter Montgomery at the HayInarket in london. She soon gained reputation as an excellent actress of high comedy. She married William Hunter Grimston in 1869, and with him assumed the stage name of Kendall, having previously been known on the stage by her maiden name of Madge Robertson MT. and Mrs. Kendall made their first tour of the United States and Canada in 1889, under the direction of Daniel Frohman, and it was phenomenally successful Since then they have made several visits to America. The Kendals have had three children, all of whom adopted the stage.

TORPEDOEs

When a German U-boat sends a torpedo on it's mission of destruction, it is utilizing a weapon of British ori- gin, since the modern locomotive tor pedo was the invention of Whitehead, a British engineer. It was in 1877, forty years ago, that the Whitehead torpedo first came into notice. White heads original torpedo carried twen- ty-six pounds of guncotton and travel led straight toward any mark at a speed of eighteen knots. The 21-inch Whitehead torpedo now in use car

Just a century ago he successfully prosecuted the war against the Seminoles. In 1928 and again in 1882 he was elected president of the United States, and, although lacking many of the qualities of pol ished statesmanship, his sturdy pa triotisn and unswerving honesty more than atoned for what he lacked. When he left the executive mansion he had only seventy dollars in cash and the few acres that were left of his once vast estate. Like SO many other oc-

SIR CYPRIAN BRIDGE

Admiral Sir Cyprian Arthur George Bridge, one of the most distinguished of British naval authorities, was born seventy-eight years ago today, Mar. 15, 1888, the son of ArchdeacOn Bridge. His active naval career ex- tended over half a century, beginning in 1853, in the days of wooden ships and sails, and ending in 1904, when he was retired from active service. Since then he has written numerous books and articles dealing with the various phases of naval matters. Ad- miral Bridges first experience of war fare was in the White Sea in 1854, when he was fifteen years old He served in the Bay of Bengal during the Indian mutiny, and with the na- val brigade in Burma.
 In discussing the present war, Sir Cyprian declared a few months ago that "the lesson of the battle of Jut- land was that the guns, and not the torpedoes were, generally speaking, the weapons that told. It is also of remarkable interest to note the con- siderable period during which our ships were in action without being seriously damaged by the German fire, which seems to confirm Admiral Far ragut's dictum that the best armor is the return fire. I think it is quite safe to say that the lessons of naval engagements in the war have Justified the generally accepted division into heavy and light cruisers, destroyers, and, perhaps, submarines. I use the qualifying word with reference to submarines, because in my opinion the submarine has not proved very important fighting factor during the present war. Notwithstanding this, the possibility of the development of the submarine must not be left out of account. NIt would accordingly seem wise to consider very carefully wheth- CT the huge dimensions of the latest capital ships are compatible with the possible employment in the near fu- ture of highly developed underwater craft.
