SUBMARINE
VS.. SHIP

What can be done to make the merch-
ant ship proof against the submarine?
The off hand reply would be to strength
en- the hull wall of the ship so that it
should be proof from torpedo attacks.
Yet this simply aggravates the danger.
The torpedoes will 60 through any steel
The greater the weight of metal protec-
ton, the more that metal is broken up
into bits, the more it tears to pieces the
fabric of the vessel.
Technical thought today would make
a light hull wall for the vulnerable por-
ton of the ship. 1t would have rows Of
water tight compartments. 1t would ar
range the cargo with due proportions of
freight having capacity for absorbing
heat and explosive gases. In case of ex-
plosion, if the gases were liberated into
compartments filled with freight like po-
tatoes, it is said the cargo would absorb
much of this destructive force. Vents
would be provided so that much of the
explosive gas would be liberated harm
less into the outside air.
A ship built low in the water, with a
smoke stack only few feet high, the
draft kept strong by force, would escape
submarine observation except at short
distance. Use of fuel oil and anthracite
coal would save the smoke that reveals
vessels presence. The sides of the ship
should be camouflaged with imitation of
ia color. Skillful marksmen and eff
fective guns mounted on the deck can
make things quite comfortable for the
u boat.
1t is the tendency of ship builders to
consider after war needs. They do not
like to load themselves up with ships not
economically arranged for modern COM
merce in peace times.
1t will be shortsighted policy to let
such consideration move us much. We
need every ship we can possibly build to
keep our army in France we'll supplied.
1t will be poor policy not to build ships
with large measure of independent self
protection, so that they will have some
degree of security even if not conveyed
by destroyers.

SPEEDING UP THE
FREIGHT

The task of moving this years output
of freight with our present railway
equipment will be nothing short of her.
culean. War activities have increased
the freight business in England fifty per
cent, and in France hundred per cent.
Railway statistics show that there are
about 10000 fewer freight cars now
available in this country than in 1914,
but the carrying capacity Of the lesser
number equals or exceeds that of the
greater number in use four years ago.
Traffic experts contend that the fail
ure of the units of rolling stock-freight
cars-to keep pace with business require
ments is due to the difficulty of supply
ing adequate railway terminal facilities
in the great railroad centers. The big
drive now being made by railway Off
Gals is to persuade the shippers to load
more heavily and with the shortest pos
sible detention of cars, and receivers to
unload and release the cars equally as
prompt.
The three recommendations offered by
railroad traffic managers for speeding
up of freight in order to take care Of our
fall and winter requirements successfully
are helping to get much better freight
moving results. Our readers can do their
bit by making these slogans their freight
shipping and freight receiving gospel:
Unload every car at once. Don't wait
for the free time to expire.
Load every car promptly. Don't wait
nor use all Of the free time.
Load all cars to their visible carrying
capacity-Farm and Fireside.

TALKING TO THE
SOLDIERS

A great many public speakers are un-
dertaking to deliver addresses to the SOL
der boys. There are the chaplains and
ministers and lecturers at the army
camps. There are orators at patriotic
rallies held in the soldiers home towns.
1t takes some tact to hit it right with
the soldiers, and some of our public
speakers do not quite get it.
AS nearly as The Republican can judge
the temper of the soldiers, they do not
like what they call 'Do or die" talk. They
do not care to be held up as examples Of
grand self sacrifice and as voluntarily
giving up their lives for their country.
They are not sure that they are any
more patriotic than anyone else, but feel
that they have simply responded to the
command of their country, as any decent
man must or suffer disgrace.
+ public speaker naturally likes to ex-
press a warmer feeling for these boys
than that. But the soldiers have not very
much use for dismal talk or putting on
agony. 1t is a help to them if they can
take the thing in light hearted way. It
IS well for them to put the best face on
Ut, and think Of the pleasant companion
ship of camp life and the benefits of see
ing the world
The perils and sufferings and possible

wounds and death, they would like to
keep out of sight as much as possible. If
they think about that side of it, they
may become morbid.
Public speakers can tell of the strug.
giles and sacrifices of the fathers and
show that this country is worth fighting
for. They can dwell on the causes of the
war, so that these can be thoroughly UNI
derstood. They can dwell on the advan-
tages of army training and urge the boys
to keep clean from all vices. But it does
not help bit to roll off those oratorical
periods about martyrs to their country
and bones left to bleach on the field of
battle.

MEETING THEIR
INSTRUMENTS

1t now developes that many of the SOL
diers in cantonment who subscribed to
Liberty Bonds will not be able to make
their monthly payments, under the in
stallment plan which was contemplated.
A soldiers pay is $50 month. Half of
this sum is withheld by the government
anyway under the compulsory family al
lowance plan of the soldiers insurance
bill; and from the SIS remaining it will
be impossible for many soldiers to keep
up their monthly payments upon the
bonds which they have obligated them
selves to take.
From Washington it is announced that
the aid Of the Federal Reserve Banks
will be invoked to enable the men to make
their payments. 1t is pointed out that
there was no compulsion upon the men
to force their subscriptions to the bonds,
but this assurance is accompanied by the
statement that some of the officers were
so jealous in canvassing the men for sub
scriptions that many were led to believe
that they had to come across.
1t is likely that there are a good many
people in civil life who will find them
selves in the same predicament as these
soldiers.

Men Leave Coed Positions to Help
Red GrOSS.

word to men A New York man
is lust dropping his business, which
has brought him in 100000 year, TO
60 to Europe for the Red Cross: no
salary. He does not talk about 1t:
why do you mention it?', you ask
Lots of men are doing the same
thing. Some men are giving up Dig
ger incomes, and thousands OF me-
chanics end laboring men are dropp-
ing their wages and enlisting IN the
Army and Navy
mention it in order that every
man in the country may feel that ne
I'm on call when his country wants
him. Soldiers and sailors are ready
to give their lives. All honor TO
them. The time, money and lie Oh
every citizen belongs to his Nation
All honor therefore, to those cltlZenS
who consecrate their time, and lie
in all sorts of war interests at home
and abroad. Through the Red cross
uncertainties of service are given to
thousands of men who without the
Red Cross would not know where to
out their time and energies i'll the
cOuntry's service.
A word to women. What an
anxious, restless and unhappy mass
the women of this country would be
II thew did not have some definite
work to do for the boys and men IN
the camps and trenches and hOSpl-
tails In every village, town and city
grOups of women are gathered to-
gether making bandages for the sol

plains lonely women are knitting
sweaters and mufflers. AS their
fingers work, their minds move also,
with the thought of what they are
doing for those who are fighting to
defend their homes. No one can cal
culate the steadiness and sincerity
which the Red Cross work gives to
millions of women.
A word to the boys and girls.
Whether you are at school or at work,
YOU can do something for the soldier
and sailor and the Red Cross. You
can save your pennies and nickels up
to one dollar, and become a member
Of the Red Cross. Lots of you can
make it five dollars. You can go
after the men and women of the town
and get them to join the Red Cross.
In passing twenty people in the
street today, you pass one Red Cross
member. When you have lifted the
membership from five million to fiji
teen million, you will meet one Red
Cross member in every seven people
that you pass. Why not make it five?
One out of every five people in the
