The C:n on Merchantmen.

An address by Winston Churchill
in the house OF commons contains
an Illuminating statement regarding
the function and effectiveness of naval
guns on British merchant ships with
reference to the U-boat peril.
1t is not merely a matter of pot
ting periscopes," of disabling and
sinking submarines. The gun drives
the U-boats under the surface, where
their chance of success in the launch
ing of torpedoes is the smallest. In
the great majority of submarine cases
reported to the American government
recently-the cases involved unarmed
ships-the submarines have first
stopped their victims by shellfre and
then launched the torpedo at easy
range on the surface.
Mr.. Churchill's statement follows:
"The object of putting guns on mer-
chant ships is to compel submarines
to submerge. If merchant ship has
no guns, submarine with a gun is
able to destroy it at leisure by gun
fire, and we must remember that on
the surface submarines 60 nearly
twice as fast as under water.
Therefore the effect of putting
guns on a merchant ship is to drive
the submarine to abandon the use Of
the gun, to lose its surface speed, and
to fall back on the much slower speed
under water and the use of the tor
pedo. The torpedo, compared with
the gun, is weapon Of much mope
limited application. The number Of
torpedoes which can be constructed
in a given time is itself subject to
certain limits. Any trained artillerist
or naval gunner can hit with a gun,
but to make submerged attack with
a torpedo requires a much higher de-
gree of skill and training"
This theory of arming merchant
ships is of the greatest interest to
Americans in view of the action the
American government has taken.
The Washington herald., 1917-03-17
The Remedy.

A nation rendered helpless and
contemplate" through the tie-up of
its transportation facilities is a ma
ton which no foreign foe need fear
greatly.
A nation sitting by in despair while
its industrial and commercial activi-
ties are PROSTATE during the settle
ment of a private feud had best look
inward upon itself and find out
whether its organism is as sound and
healthy as it appears to be.
There is something rotten in
Denmark" if the threatened rail
strike cannot be prevented; or if
not prevented, nullifed through meas
ures taken by the Federal govern
ment
There is every reason to believe
the proper remedy will be applied.
This is government operation of the
roads until the two parties to the
controversy. are brought to their
senses. That this action will be taken
and taken at an early hour unless
there is recession and retreat on one
side or the other today-is indicated.
A nation on the threshold of war
must assert itself boldly against do
mestic danger as we'll as foreign peril.
1t was significant that the Council
of National Defense was called into
the situation yesterday. 1t is signif-
cant that, in the name Of the council,
a designated group of officials is con-
ferring with the factions in New York
today. The matter in question is
truly one of national defense. If
Russia, on the eve of mobilization in
July. 1914, had been confronted with
similar strike. the whole world
would have attributed it to German
intrigue. Europe will echo with SINH
lar ugly whispers regarding the
United States next week, if the ma
tional government remains inert
The President unquestionably means
business. He knows that decisive ac-
tion is called for. He must maintain
the majesty of the nation in this crisis
with a united people behind him.

Call the Tourists.

A young newspaper columni,t who
has become famous throughout the
United States because of his unique
style and because of the human note
which charaeterizes his writings, was
a visitor in Washington during inaug-
ural week. 1t was his first visit to
the National Capital and like all tour
lists he made the best of his short stay
by seeing as many of the citys inter
esting sights as possible.
He devoted an entire article to a
trip made to Mount Vernon in which
he described effectively, the dignity,
grandeur and beauty Of the spot
which is known to all as the home of
George Washington. The wonderful
feeling of peace which pervades the
atmosphere of the place moved him
to pen an open letter to one of the
country's most famous millionaires
asking that he devote some part of
his income toward enabling school
children from various points in the
United States, to enjoy a visit to the
sacred spot.
His suggestion will hardly be re-
ceived literally as a practical one,
but the germ is there for the people
of Washington to nourish. The ad-
vantages of Washington as a Mecca
for tourists are so we'll known to us
to become almost commonplace, but
there are millions of people in this
land who would make the journey to
the Capital if they were told effect
lively of its advantages. 1t would be
no hard task for the trade bodies and
citizens associations to work out a
plan whereby Washington's call to
yisitars would be heard and needed.

THE STATE TAX
COMMISSION

Tallahassee. April 26.-When the
House bill to abolish the Tax Com
mission came over to the Senate this
morning with the House messages,
the rules were waived and the bill
put on its second reading. Again the
rules were waived and the bill put on
third reading and final passage. AT
ter a long and spirited debate in
which friends of the Tax Commission
asked for more time and protested
against its "railroading" the Senate
voted twenty-five to seven for the
bill to abolish the Commission which
Wells said was ony created to give
three political jobs. 1t is practically
certain the Governor will veto this
bill but enemies of the Commission
say they can muster the necessary
two thirds by that time. The Senate
passed the bill by NOR than two
thirds this morning.

THREE-F|FTHS

Again failing to receive the required
three-ffths vote to submit, the suf-

House today. The measure came up
again on a motion to reconsider the
vote by which it failed Of adoption
Yesterday After a couple of hours
debate the vote was reached, 30
voting for submission and 30
apainst. the resolution failing by six
votes. The defeat of the measure
was due to the opposition by the
friends Of the Statewide prohibition
amendments who feared the submis-
sion of the suffrage amendment at
the same election would endanger
the prohibition amendment.
