the stern is lifted bodily and the bow
depressed.
The pronounced reverse fare or
"flam" which many designers work into
the top sides at the bow IS OF more use
in throwing off spray thar in keeping
the boat from roofing" The normal
flare like that, say, of the Gloucester
fisherman, is the thing for sea boat,
and the nearer this is followed in the
stern sections the better. This form
of hull might be called the stream-line
form-the true displacement type
and it is the type used in the llO-foot-
ers which are now under construction.
Problem of Power
The towering of these boats was a
problem. The department favored a
twin rather than a triple installation,
which would require medium speed
motors of at least 300-horsepower each.
But il was found that no such motors
were available.
In a talk with Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt the writer was informed re-
Gently that no standard power plant
had been decided on for the lOO-footers,
and that anything from Diesels TO re-
ciprocating steam engines might be
used: but we believe that the depart
ment has come to favor triple install
lation of 250-horsepower air-starting
and reversing motors OF the type used
in pairs in the British S0-footers.
OF vital Importance in vessel to
fight the modern U-boat is the arma-
ment. With the means now at hand, II
is necessary TO get in your hits while
the submarine is on the surface, and at
sucb a time she is a formidable foe and
not easy to hit, unless the pursuer hap
mems 10 be in the neighborhood when
She is coming up and can do his work
before she is able to bring her deck gun
into play. ,
The standard navy 3-inch gun is long
and heavy, requires a crew OF seven
men. and has a tremendous recoil press
ure. but we understand that there is a
modified gun being brought out which
is much lighter. handles from the shout
like a 3-pounder and requires a much
smaller crew. Of,
The new U-boats are quite heavily
armored in their exposed parts, and we
believe that 1-pounder, 3-pounder,
or even n 6-pounder, which is the size
decided on by the department for the
new patrol boats, will be found made
quate. especially in view OF the fact
that the submarines themselves are
being equipped with 8 and inch guns.
Before long We shall probably de-
velop some device for getting at sub
marines while submerged, either as we
have said, by means OF torpedo re-
leased from an aeroplane or by means
Of a marine torpedo Of the usual type
A year ago the writer suggested ioo-
foo. patrol boat equipped with a deek
torpedo tube amidships, ana from ~. tne
with one OF Mr.. lHickman's sea sleds'
and a fast ffty-foot V-bottom, recently
delivered. both Of which were designed
TO carry torpedo tubes, it looks as II
the government actually is interested
in such an idea

BILE of all the deadly implements OF
modern warfare, and now we were
called upon to devise a means Tor us
destruction.
Russia Started the Ball
In the spring of 1915 Russia started
the ball a-rolling with an order for
eighteen high powered 6O-footers,
which later was doubled. These boats
were of the V-bottom type, and with
their three high speed engines aggre::
eating 600-horsepower were capable OF
q sneed close close to thirty statute
miles an hour They carried a three
FOUNDER amidships and machine gun
forward. but seaworthiness and COM
fort were somewhat sacrificed to speed
and mobility.
Then England ordered fifty boats sew
entv-fve feet in length and before they
were delivered increased the order by
zoo 8O-footers of similar design. Inc
result was $50 boats in $50 days from
the time the order was received eight
miles of boats-think OF il! There's
romance enough in feat like that Tor
a Kipling or an II. G. Wells. And eX-
cellent boats were these SO-footers,
powered with twin engines OF 25O-
horsepower each and good for II knots.
Their speed was sufficient for the work
and they were fairly livable boats.
And then there were other smaller
orders for completed boats. as well as
for motors, with which to power the
boats under construction IN all the Al
lied countries.
II was not until the summer OF 1916
that our own Navy Department began
to show an interest IN the submarine
swatter which the foreign powers were
taking so seriously.

Women Shoulder
Burden of War

Like the women Of England and
France, the women Of North Dakota ard
other grain-growing centres are going
into the fields to take the places Of
the men who have enlisted. An acute
labor shortage, developed to some ex-
tent through recruiting, is responsible
for the women taking the jobs of men.
In other parts Of Minnesota business
men are volunteering their services for
work on farms and are planning TO
leave the women in charge Of their
businesses.
