make the whole world sit up and take notice If
want to do So"
This assertion was brought out by debate
the subject of naval increase, when the genesis
of the modern dreadnaught discussed. An
interesting light was thrown upon the origin and
reason for being of that era-makng 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 inventing 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 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.

"You cannot hit anything with six-nch gun

Captain Sims had in mind when he said that the
novel battle craft to he built that moth

There is another advantage. too in this arrange

Accordingly ii would he easy for craft Of this

Great Britain has found is necessary TO utilize
snonitors especially modified for the work. in her
offensive operations against the German positions

heavy ornaments have made these vessels reason
ably effective However. the monitors have not
been able TO destroy the German naval station
at Zeebrugge and the kaiser's designers have no
doubt long been busy devisng naval foil to the
British attack.
This probability in part is warrant for Cap
tain Sims assumption that something out of the
ordinary was likely to issue from WilhemShaven
before the end of the present struggle. 1t rs takes
the form suggested the ship will not he a formd-
able foe only for England's monitors hut II would
certainly prove very dangerous antagonist for
weIl-nigh any of Great Britain's heavy fighting

As with so many things concerning our national
dpfpnceS no secret has been made here of this
proposed order of war craft. Captain Sims has
said:
at has been before our people for long while.
II has been discussed at the War college and pa
pers have been written on it"
Foreigners have undoubtedly made themselves
familiar with everything that has been given out
about the ship and certainly the type would go a
long way toward offseting the disadvantage In
numbers under which the German fleet labOrs.
Moreover there are economic reasons why
fighting ship of this peculiar type would commend
itself especially to people circumstanced as are
the Germans now.
As Captain Sims says: 81 have always believed
that Q vessel could be designed in that way with
out any necessity for waste of side armor, be-
cause she would have nothing above her water
line to protect that is substantially nothing. She
would have no turretS. which cost much in
weight and she would have big guns which
cost in the weight of the gun, ammunition. etc.
"She would carry two towers from either of
which the ship could be controlled: One to be
used in case the other was knocked out. They
would be of sufficient size TO hold the people who

Other important Industries which
show numerical decline are laundry
work, dressmaking. confectionery,
printing and bookbinding, linen, lace
and silk, but in all these groups some
women are directly replacing men. and
In many individual firms in these and
other groups decline in the number
of women simply means that some of
the women have left to go to mems
work and have not been replaced.

industries, though not on the main
processes In iron and steel works. In
the cotton trade no less than 25,OOO
females are returned as directly re-
placing males, though In other textile
industries Except hosiery progress
has been less marked.
In the food trades there have been
very interesting cases Of substitution.
In grain milling the number of women
and girls employed has risen since
July, 1914. from 1000 to 5000; in
sugar refining, from 1000 to 1000. and
in brewing from 5000 to $4,000; the
increase in these trades Is almost en-
tirely due to the direct replacement of
men by women.
Women are also doing mems work to
an appreciable degree In tanning and
working, glass, china, earthenware and
rubber.
One of the most striking new devel-
opments is the introduction of women
clerks into banks and financial houses.
In agriculture the process of substi-
tuition made slow progress during the
first IS months Of the war, but an ac-
celeration is now noticeable. Besides
the regular women workers there Is q
large increase In the number of fruit
pickers, harvesters and other casuals.
Railway employment furnishes q
particularly interesting series of ex-
periments in woman labor. Before the
war the British railway companies on

The kind and amount of substitution

LondOn.-The far-reaching effect on
the industrial and commercial situa-
ton caused by the formation of an
army of almost five million men can
not be underestimate, and the gov
eminent was not long in realizing the
vital Importance of maintaining the
output of articles required for the war
and export trade. The wonderful ef-
forts accomplished by the women of
Great Britain in taking the places of
men who have joined the cOlOrs are
known in a general way to the Ameri-
can public, but 1t is impossible, with
out living in England, to form an ac-
curate impression of the extent to
which the women have answered the
call.
Special efforts are now being made
by the British government to give to
the world a more adequate knowledge
of the success attained by women in
nearly all branches of mems work.
According to official statistics which
have just been issued by the war office
$4,000 women and girls have stepped
| forward to take the places of men In
various occupations. This figure does
not include domestic service or EN-
ployment in the millinery or dress
making trade, nor does it comprise the
women who have taken so active Q
part in Red Cross work since the be
ginning of the war. The latter alone
include more than $1,000.

mentioned is, of course, due to the ad

eminent, to whom the Sun Is indebte,
for these facts, is authority for tn
statement that there are very few In
dustries or occupations in which tn
number of women has not increased
There are few in which some direc
