ADVANTAGE OF SUBMARINE

Naval officers in Washington who have assiduously studied warfare as it has been developed since 1914, declare that in clash between a merchant vessel and a submarine, the latter would have all the advantage. It is stated that the Teuton submersibles are no longer solely de- pendent on the effectiveness of a torpedo. They are armed, in addition, with four inch guns which from distance of four miles, can effectively attack.
 In long distance fight, the merchant craft, however expert it's gunners might be, would, from it's bulk, prove decidedly more vulnerable than it's diminutive en- emy. It is therefore possible that Ameri- can vessels, even if prepared to fire as subject to peril from still other sources. OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES
 In this connection it may be recalled that President Wilson asked Congress for authority to arm vessels with guns and ''other instrumentalties."
 It may also be recalled that in filibus- tering against the armed neutrality bill, Senator Stone of Missouri attempted to make public an important naval secret
 From those two incidents it is deducted of new invention, is better prepared than any other nation to tackle and dis pose of submarines.
 In this connection, additional light is hourly expected

THE USE; OF THE

TO the American citizen who gives
some consideration to features of his
investments other than the mere
money return from them, the uses to
which the money raisnd by the sale
of the Liberty loan bords is to be de-
voted will prove pHtriotic induce
ment to purchase such bonds. A Ger
tain dignity attaches to money in
verted in high and lit bic cause.
The Liberty loan is made by the
United States government to purchase
arms and equipment for American
soldiers aud sailors. food and supplies
for the American army and navy. The
money Is to be spent in America for
those Americans who are fighting
Americas battles on land and sea.
Part Of the money raised by the
sale Of Liberty loan bonds is to be
loaned to our allies this too is to be
exrended in America. 1t is to be
spent for food and supplies for the
armies Of our allies fighting on our
side on the various war fronts In Eli
