thing th1t
order of battle tactics upon the sea? These ques-
tions are asked by Robert G. Skerrett in the New
York Sum- and he goes on to say that experts an
swer yes to questions two and three. One OF the
foremost of American naval officers said not long
ago:
II believe we can build a ship here that will
make the whole world sit up and take notice If
want to do So"
This assertion brought out by a debate on
the subject Of naval increase, when the genesis
of the modern dreadnaught was discussed. An
interesting light thrown upon the origin and
reason for being of that ern-making type OF heavy
ship of the line The disclosure illustrates how
kindred forces may be at work in calling into
being another and no less startling departure In
naval architecture. According to the officer In
question:
England has been criticized for inventng the
dreadnaught type on the ground that If she had
not done she would have maintained greater
preponderance over every other navy In her pre-
dreadnaught types, and the dreadnaught type
is far more efficient she therefore had to start
even with other nations again. The reply to that
is that she did not invent the type, but 1t was
absolutely forced upon her.
"1n the days when we were firing at each other
at 1000 or 5000 yards n dreadnaught was not
logical thing at all. because at those ranges you
could use an eight-inch gun with great effect or
sfx-inch gun. But soon Admiral Sir Percy
Scott showed how to train gun pointers with
his new device 1t changed the situation material
ly. His whole invention was method of train
ing gun pointers.
eve applied 1t side and talked to
people on this side and to people on the other
side of the Atlantic about It, went over to Eng
land and talked to the gun people there and we
finally tentatively going from range to an
other, found out that could hit target at
5000 or 1900 yards which considered
enormous ranges in those days.
"You cannot hit anything with a six-inch gun
at those distances 1t therefore perfectly
illogical for them to build any more battleshps

gun ship had to be built.

II the authorities here had listened to US. Eng
land did not invent the all-big-gun ship. 1t was
Admiral Sir Percy Scott who thought out how to
lowed as natural consequence. Big guns are the
long range.
"The present conflict has made 1t plain that in
actual warfare the nation with initiative will have
a great advantage, and Germany has undoubtedly
kept her foes guessing No one knows what she
is likely to spring next upon her antagonists. but
past performances hint at certain possibilities"
Capt. William s. Sims thus describes thor
oughly practicable, novel order Of battle craft. Its
perts that the likelihood of Its appearing before
long Is more than possibility.
"If you build ship of 10000 tons that has
nothing but protective deck, and so fiat that
nothing could get under it, that only has two
towers, one forward and aft to control the
ship, and no guns at all, but armed with eight or
ten torpedo tubes side, and capable OF maxi

VOLTAIRE 55I4O

Farmers don't you think right now
is the best time to raise draft horses?
The price was never higher than now,
and our supply of work horses is at
the lowest point it has been for
years.
There are, not more than half as
many brood mares in the county now
as there were five years ago. You
can see that we are facing a horse
famine. What are you going to do
about it? Autos and auto-trucks are
all right but you can't farm with
them. You can't raise colts from
your mules. 1t looks like the most
sensible and business-like thing to do
is to raise some good draft colts be-
fore your old brood mares are gone.
