DESTROYING THE SUBMARINE.

1t would be poetic Justice Of a rare sort
if America which invented the submarine,
also invented the means of destroying it.
That such a device-an electrical one-haS
been perfected, is announced by the United
States Naval Consulting Board, of New
York. ct looks as though the submarine
problem has been solved" says Mr. San
ders, the president of the board.
If present plans mature, we may expect
naval operations on a great scale in the
North Sea, with destroyers, chasers, air
planes, nets, Mines and the new device, all
employed; military offensive against the
Kiel canal, too, may be made involving the
use of a land force.
In homely pharse, an ounce of preven-
ton in the breeding focus will beat pound
of cure when the submarine evil is spread
abroad. The only sure route to freedom of
the seas indeed lies in destroying the source
of the menace.
To sweep the North Sea is a formid-
able undertaking, but considering the
modern protective means, especially the
new invention-is it in any worse than
Dewey's famous sail into mine-ridden
Manila harbOr?
BOttllng GermanyS underwater fleet up
in the North Sea will save the worlds ship
ping, but it will not hasten the end Of the
war, unless the German people will have
developed a greater degree of indepen-
dence than they have heretofore shown.
Absolutely dominated by the government.
they would otherwise accept whatever ex-
PLANTATION the junkers cared to give them
regarding the cessation of U-activities. as
they believed the stories of the victorious
retreat of Hindenberg, and as the German
army, not dependent for supplies on the
submarines, would not be affected by their
cessation, it follows that Germans resist
ance would not be impaired-granting. OF
course, the government did not break
down
In the meantime, developments in
Russia are most disquieting. If Russia
quits, the United States, besides her owr
share, will have to do Russia's bit. But be
this as it may, the United States has its
work cut out for it.

That afternoon orders came for US

troubles began.
The ensign spent most of his time
up near the bow, while the gunner's
crew stayed aft.
All at once our chaser came to a
sudden stop and proceeded to culver
in every joint. The ensign came rush

emphatic than polite.
"The gate rope is caught in the

watch that rope. Who was it ?"

Maybe I can fix it, sir he said to
the ensign. "WeTl have 10 cut the
gate rope"
There was nothing for the ensign
to do but signal for help.
They had to tow US to the mine-lav-
ing ship. hoist US up and disentangle
our rudder.
We went back chasing submarines,
but we were a subdued crew. The
ensign was too sore and disgustej to
roast us.
He knew he would get his roasting

OPPORTUNITY FOR PENSACOLA.

Aside from the fifty thousand dollars
that the work will mean to Pensacola, the
order of Secretary Daniels to have the two
interned vessels repaired here, instead Of
at New CLEANS, should be a great encour-
agement to the maritime development of
this port
We suspect that the secretary would not
have given such immediate assent but for
the fact that other yards are smOthered
with work, for without docking facilities
Pensacola is under a decided handicap.
But we have ample foundries and machine
shops, we have the labor, and ship work can
be economically and expeditiously han
died here, as was proved in the case of the
Druid, which came from New York to be
reftted because the work could be done
cheaper in Pensacola.
AS the congestion of business elsewhere
gives Pensacola the chance. which it would
not have at other times so we hope the
object lesson will not be lost on the neces-
sity of establishing complete docking and
building facilities here, or the profit con-
nected with the same.
That the proposed dry dock company is
beginning active work, is cause for congrat-
ulaton, but will not the marine demands
of the United States, replacing lost ships
and developing a commerce-carrying fleet
to supply the world, Justify greater capac-
ity than what has been planned?

BOXING Pulls COMEBACK

Boxing. given a black eye in days

states-Illinois. Michigan, Missouri.
California and Nebraska-bills have
been introduced to legalize the game

brought out to the big camp at heavy
expense. but none of them lived up to
their reputation and several fakes
were pulled in the town which once
was the scene'of championship con-

these being the MONA Dillon bout.

foremost defenders of the kiley law
backed down and it was repealed with
