WASHINGTON OFFICIALS BELIEVE +.
TORPEDO SUPPLY IS WEAKENING

mans are being SO pressed for time In
the construction Of torpedoes that
they can no longer maintain their
speed and their accuracy OF FIRE. It is
estimated that the German torpedo
has lost nearly ten knots in speed
from the standard torpedo used at the
outset of the war.
II takes normally six months to
construct a torpedo and costs many
thousand dollars. There is also a
chance OF Germany running short In
some material essential in their manu-.
facture. Whether this has occurred
is not known but the conclusion has
been reached that the individual Ger.
man torpedo is losing in efficiency.
The U-boat warfare as now being
waged, it is said, was undoubtedly not
thought out and prepared for by Ger
many before the war. Therefore the
stock OF torpedoes was not sufficient
for the purpose. The deficiency has
been made up by increasing the out
put OF torpedoes. But with the ire
mendous land operations she has es-
sayed, Germany could not have devot.
cd maximum OF labor or materials
to the making of torpedoes. Had she
done this II is not doubted she could
have kept up the supply. But sacri-
fees in the torpedo supply were made
to satisfy the folly of the Crown
Prince at Verdun.
Naval experts are rightly ccntinu.
ing TO stress the vital Importance OF
attempting to destroy the power of the
submarine by some new development
in naval strategy. No degree of deter
ioration in the effectiveness of German
torpedo attack would lessen these eff
| forts at effective warfare against the
| submarines. Yet the interest of nava
experts has been attracted By this re
cent record of performance of the
German torpedoes. They are wonder
ing whether Germany can stand much
longer the strain of this staggering
expenditure of torpedoes.

WASHINGTON. July 1s.-There is
reason to believe that the German tor
pedo supply Is weakening. says
statement issued at the navy league
headquarters today.
The increasing frequency with
which press dispatches report mer-
chant ships as successfully lodging
German torpedoes. says the statement.
suggests TO the technically trained
mind that the German torpedo is de-
teriOrating in speed and hence in ac-
curacy of fire at long range.
At the outset, the statement con-
tinues. the Germans were extremely
careful to conserve their torpedoes.
Merchant ships were sunk by gunfire
wherever possible. But the arming of
merchant ships and the constant i'm
rrovement in the allies system of de-
tense against submarine attack has
driven the submarines under water
and they are now forced to use tor.
pedoes in almost every attack. The
increase in the number of submarines
has further added to the strain upon
the German stock of torpedoes.
An analysis OF reports on sub marine
attacks Tow indicates that this UMPIRE
cedentHd expenditure of torpedoes is
beginning to tell upon the effective
ness of the U-boat warfare. The Ger
mans are pressing their submarine
campaign with all possible vigor and
the number of attacks on merchant
ships appears TO be increasing. Also
the zone of submarine operations is
constantly widening. Yet this in.
creased fury with which the U-boat
warfare is being waged has failed to
increase the number of merchant ships
sunk. The Germans apparently are
being forced to constantly greater ef.
forts 20 maintain their average OF
sinkings and even so are slipping back
slightly.
The explanation of this offered by
certain naval experts is that the Ger.

We Ought to Absolutely Double
Our School Taxes.

The people of ihc South ought to
absolutely double their school taxes
during the coming year.
| 1t may be popular TO say this, or it
may be unpopular. All we know is,
that ii is the truth, and that the man
who doesn't agree with this statement
will agree with ii before a dozen wears

1T is no use to say we can't afford
1T. With cotton at 20 to % cents a
pound and tobacco and peanuts selling
at corresponding figures il is folly to
say that We can't do more for our
SCHOOLS than We did when cotton was
u to 10 cents and other crop prices in
Keeping with these. And we ought TO
be ashamed OF ourselves if we don't do
more. The time has come when any
leaves home If he can't say he lives
in local tax school diStrict,-and one
i'll which the tax is adequate. TOO
many districts arc lcvying three mills
when they ought to levy nine.

where the people think moro Of say

We of the South have always accused
our Northern friends Of loving money
but we have got to face the fact that
when il comes to choosing between
saving money and buying knowledge
Tor his children the Yankee cvcrlast
lngly puts us 10 shame.
Look al the facts. The North Atlan-
tic States spend $50.55 per year on
schools per child; the South Atlantic
States $lS.Hl not 10 per cent as much
The North Central states spend $l4.15
pcr child; the South Central States

South Carolina only $ll. Tennessee

Nor can we say We arc doing as vel

North Dakota spends on schools it
