No Miracle Is Looked For.

NO Miracle Is Looked FoT.
"The idea that the submarine will be
overcome by miraculous invention is
not now seriously considered" the Sec
rotary said. The more intimate knowl-
edge the civilian obtains on this sub
ject, the more convinced he is that the
submarine can be conquered by per-
sistently hunting him down by the
weapon of which he is most afraid.
This is the armed service boat. equip
ped with all the latest scientific devices
and typified in the modern torpedo boat
destroyer. Foreign naval authorities
have frankly stated their admiration OF
the degree of perfection of American
designs
I'm regard to the protection of ships
against torpedo attacks. the undeniable
evidence of recent months of submarine
activity has demonstrated that the i'm
munity of a vessel depends very largely
on its speed and maneuvering ability.
There is a possibility that some arti-
fetal means of protecting cargo-carrying
vessels may be found practicable. In no
other field have so many suggestions or
50 many duplicate inventions been pre-
scented to the board.
Suggestions in Three Groups.
The Secretary said that the thought on
submarine defense may be subdivided In
three groups:
90 Methods to accomplish the de-
struction of submarines, involving de-
lection and destruction after detection.
fD Means of avoiding submarine at
tack, involving instructions for merchant
vessels, proper handling of vessels, ca
rnouhage smoke screens and other con-
tidential information know to American
naval authorities.

School Event.
EDITOR WANTS. STORY
National News-Cathering
Organization to Feature
May Meeting.

Missoula has known for a long time
that the annual interscholastic meet
at the State University is really a big
institution. but it is doubtful if there
are many persons in the city who real
ize the extent to which the meet has
given favorable publicity to the uni
versity and the city alike.
The Montana meet is the second
largest in the country-that is on the
1915 figures. Only the nation wide
meet at the University of Chicago
last year surpassed Montana 1t is
expected that those who follow close
ly these things. that Montana. Will
gain first rank with the record Of the
1917 meet.
A. p. Interested.
But it is not merely in size that the
Montana interschoastc has won
fame; its quality places it in the front
rank. In support of this contention
is the following excerpt from a letter
received yesterday by Director Jesse
p. Rowe at the university, from T..
Ashbaugh. Spokane editor for the AS
ISOLATED Press:
Will you kindly furnish me with
data for a story on the intcrscholastic
track meet. which will be held at the
State University of Montana in May:
Mr.. George Varnel who was starter
vt your meet last year has informed
me that the Montana meet is the most
successful he has ever seen. not only
in the number of entries but in the
manner in which you conduct it,
George Varnell knows as much
about collegiate and scholastic athle-
ties as any man in the country: he
knows more than most of the experts.
His testimony is the best that could
be given for it carries weight, where
ever Narncll is known and that is
wherever track athletics are a spring
crop.

BUTTE MAN WANTS !
TO SEE STAMPEDE ],
Reservation No. / for Fourth
Of July Is Made.

The first reservation for n room for
the Missoula Stampede was made last
evening by Secretary d. d. Richards
of the chamber Of commerce upon q
request received from Butte. The
word received was from a man. a res
ident of Butte. who has attended the
two former Stampedes held In Mis-
soua. The message stated that the
writer had seen both Of the former
shows and that he desires to see this
one. He asked that a room be re-
served for him for July >. 3, 4. The
reservation was made --s..
The letter brought other good news
to the stampede committee beside the
statement that the wrier was coming
to Missoula. 1t stated that Butte is
many hundred dollars behind yet on
its celebration of last Fourth of July
and that the sentiment ip Butte APP
pears now to be Never Again" as far
as a Fourth of July celebration Is con-
ccrncd.
This. means, to the Stampede COM
mittee at least. that the Butte crowds
will. in all probability. have nothing to
do ard no place to go on July 4. This
should be a big thing for the Missoula
Stamped" because it is said by MEM
bers Of the Stampede committee that
Butte will undoubtedly move to Mis-
soula to secure it's Fourth of July en-
tcrtanmcnt.
