RADIO BOAT
AN IDEA OF
U.S.. ENGINEER
USE BY GERMANS OF ELECTRI-
CALLY-CONTROL CRAFT
RECALLS THEORY SAID TO BE
IN EXPERIMENTAL STAGE.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Use by the
Germans of "an electrically controlled
boat" off the Belgian coast was taken
here to mean that device similar to
the radio-controlled torpedo with
which the United States has been ex-
perimenting for some time, has been
developed by German engineers to
supplement their land batteries along
the coast.
The fact that the boat was de-
stroyed by the British gunners does
not, however, suggest a similar fate
Tor the American device
The theory of distant control of
boats, torpedoes or aeroplanes,
through the use of radio apparatus,
is an old one. No practical applica-
tion of the theory to boats or torpe-
does was of record, however, until
John Hays Hammond, Jr., began his
experiments and worked out the plan
with which the Government has been
experimenting. Congress appropri-
ated nearly million dollars for the
purchase of the Hammond patents,
and a joint army-navy board was ap-
pointed to pass upon the device be-
lore IL SnOuIO De taken over. ne
outbreak of the war prevented any
publication of the developments of
the project.
The Hammond device, as originally
demonstrated, was applied to a swirl
motor boat. From a shore station
the inventor was able to send the
motor boat in any direction he pleased
by the use of radio telegraph key.
Presumably, this is what the Ger
mans have worked out as an added
protection for the shallow waters of
the Belgian coast.
Experts here think probably the
Germans equipped a high-speed motor
boat with heavy explosive charge,
similar to torpedo. and hoped to
drive it against the side of the Brit
ish ships.
For obvious reasons nothing can
be said as to how the United States
proposes to use it's radio control
plans. 1t was never intended, how
ever, to use q surface boat, so ths
German experience has no bearing.

FARMERS WILL
GET SUPPLIES
NITRATE SODA
SENATOR FLETCHER DOING
EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO Sc
CURE PORTION OF THE LARGE
SHIPMENT COMING.
Especial to The JOurnal)

Washington, d. c., Nov. 4.-Sena-
ator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida
is doing everything possible to secure
at an early date a portion of the nj
trate of soda for the Florida farmers
out of the shipment of ten million
dollars worth of that fertilizer to be
brought from Chile by the United
States Government.
Because the farmers of Florida
must use their fertilizers at a much
earlier date than the farmers of other
states, Senator Fletcher has been
keeping in close touch with the De-
partment of Agriculture, the War In
dustries Board and the Bureau of
Margets so as to ascertain just when
the shipment may be expected and to
have its distribution expedited.
He has found that it is proposed
to establish central agency here in
Washington and appoint commits
sioner for each state to handle the
distribution of the fertilizer, and has
urged upon the officials having charge
of the matter that at least one of the
cargoes to come from Chile be dis
charged at Florida port.
A bill was passed in the last ses-
sion of Congress appropriating ten
million dollars for the purchase of
nitrate of soda from Chile and its

HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT.

Subscribers to the recent S2,000,- 100000 issue of liberty bonds and in, tending subscribers to the second lib. erty loan are interested in knowing just how the money obtained is used. A large amount of money is necessary to maintain the Navy, which has been called upon to defend our coast and our commerce from attack.
 To put the Navy on war basis, ev- cry ship in reserve had to be fully manned and commissioned. Many auxiliary vessels also had to be add ed.
 On April there were 64,6S0 en- listed men; now tHere are more than 136,O00. In addition, we have enlist ed more than 35,OO0 reserves and there are 10000 National Navy Vol unteers in service.
 Contracts have been placed for ev- cry destroyer and submarine chaser that the shipyards of the country can build, and new records are expected in construction. All this is in addi- tion to the 32,000 ton battleships; five battle cruisers of 35,000 tons each, the largest and swiftest war vessels ever built; the six scout cruisers and many auxiliary craft for which we have made contracts. These will be built as early as possible, but the right of way in construction is being given to destroyers and small craft.
 Since the day war was declared the Navy has patrolled our own coasts For coast defenses scores of vessels have been secured-yachts, fishing vessels, fast motor boats, and other minor craft, and others are being add. ed to this force as rapidly as possible
 The Navy has sent to France a score of aviators, who arrived on June 8, the first contingent of the regular armed forces of the United States tc land on French soil. The Aeronautic Corps has been greatly enlarged, avi- ation bases established along the coast, and officers and men trained in the operation of seaplanes, dirigi- ble balloons, and other types of air craft. An additional appropriation of $45, 100000 has been asked for avia- ton.
 About $s0,0OO,00O is involved in the entire building program in our navy yards, training stations, submarine and aviation bases, the big storage warehouses we are building for mu, nitions and supplies, the new shops foundries, shipways, the huge dry. docks, and the various structures un. der way or provided for.
 The Marine Corps has more thar doubled in enlisted strength since ths war began. On April 6 there were ir the corps 426 commissioned officers and 13,266 enlisted men. It now has more than 28,00O enlisted men, only ,479 recruits being required to bring it up to it's full authorized enlisted strength of 30000. A force of ma. rines has been landed in France foi service under Gen. Pershings and the entire corps is eager for action. N
