The destroyer has also strangely shaped guns for shooting depth charges. These charges are bombs, and they are shot in such a way that they drop in a triangle about the submarine as it lies under the ocean, and, exploding. cause it's destruction In some cases the explosions is brought about by rope attached to the bomb.

 S7 HAVE come to Quincy to tell you
 something of what the navy is do- lS ing so protect our mighty bridge
 Of boats across the Atlantic. That bridge already stretches from our coun- try to France. and it is being widened each day. It is a moving platform Of steel, concrete and wooden ships rising and failing on the pillows of the ocean The waters il crosses are srwarming with submarines trying to break 1t, and about our only means Of protection Is the lit. tie war vessel known the destroyer which tracks down the submarine anj blows if oCt of existence The destroyer belongs to the navy, and its construction IS under the navy depaTcment which has prcnised that we shalt lead the world in this class of vessels within the next year.
 Little has been said about the new ships made for the navy. [ am net per rnltted to give all the details, but Sec retary Dsnieis tells me that we have three times as many naval vessels as when war was declared and that SaO af various kinds have been contracted for or begun within the past year. We have built new shipyards for this purpose and have added enormously to the govern ment establishments already in use. We have been rushing the construction of battleshps and cruisers and are doing wonders in the various branches of naval construction.
 But first I want to say 1itt,e -.tore about the destroyer. It is the greyhound of the sea, for it is faster than almost any other vessel that bounds over the ocean CT l might better call It the bloodhound of the Atlantic, for it's busi- ness is to scent out the submarine anu drag it down to death. Or perhaps d still better name would be the watchdog Of our transports, for it is responsible for the soldiers safe arrival in France.
 The destroyer guards the ships as they cross the Atlantic. It is armed With guns for attacking the submarines and it goes so fast that it can outrace them. 1t will fly even faster than one of the torpedoes when started by submarine on it's mes sage of death. Indeed, a destroyer has been known to overtake torpedo and explode it wilh single well aimed snot

Never before in Montgomery's his- tory have the children of the city en- joyed so glorious Fourth of July as . they did yesterday. And there is not city in the country that made more elaborate plans to entertain them t.-a n did Montgomery. Under the ausL ices of the war camp community service, they made merry from early in the morning until noon-t time, and present. ed pretty picture as they played in the west drill field at Vandiver park Camp Sheridan. The children are the only ones in these troublous times who are not feeling the strain and heartache of war and the sight of their joy at their games brought pleasure to many who witnessed them and made them forget for few hours the trials and tribulations that war always brings.

ton that the big guns of our navy, if mounted in the customhouse tower, could easily blow them out of exist ence. The plant at Quincy is founded upon shipyards which were in exist ence at the time of the war of the revolution. The plant at Squantum has risen out of a swamp within a few months. Both are among the wonders of modern shipbuilding con. struction. Together they are known as the Fore River shipyards. They belong to the Bethlehem Shipbuildirg corporation, and are allied to the Bethlehem Steel company, the billion dollar com bination, which, under the United States government, is now dragging forth iron ore from the mines of Chile, Cuba and the Unit ed States and transforming 1t into de. stroyers. submarines, cruisers, trans. ports and merchant vessels for carry
 ing food and munitions across the At lantic. Among it's establishments a.e three enormous shipbuilding plants. One is the Union Iron Works at San Francisco, another the great ship yards at Sparrows Point, Md, and third the Fore River yards. Of these the Fore River yards are perhaps the largest. They are the equal, if not the superior of any other shipbuildins plant in the United States
 Take the works here at Quincy They had been building battleships, cruisers, submarines and merchant vessels before the war began, and al that time were employing between 5000 and 40Go men, The rlant now has more than 15,cO0 and it is v'ornng them in two shifts, day and night As I left the works this evening the wtis-,e for che nging the shifts broke out on the air and an army of men and boys poured forth from the yards They came out of the shops by hundreds, filling the streets from wall to wall, making me think of the crowd at an inaugural procession or the rush to fire. Within the space of 10 min utes there were something like 5000 men on the streets. while thousands of others were coming back to their jobs. I seemed to be in the midst of an army. Every where I looked were husky fellows going to and from work. They crowded the street cars, they loaded down the motor buSses and not a few of them mounted their own motorcycles or automobiles to ride to their homes. The scene was inn pressive. It gave me some idea of Un- cle Sam's shipbulding army which is now encamped at our industrial centers bers almost 100000. and some of the most skiiiful and expert of it's trained men are right here at the Fore River yards.

Blocked felt hats, 1t is thought I'm
some quarters, will come in for a big
portion of popularity next winter for
the reason that so many women nave
gone into business and are dressing
either in uniform or In very business
like clothes. Really the only hats that
look well with these trig clothes are
those which are blocked, and. while not
exactly stiff, still have a deal of for
mality and dignity about them. A new
one was seen, in beaver felt. with a
high crown and narrow brim that
rolled at the back and tipped down
over the face Mt the front. 1t had a
single ornament Of the same shade at
the left side front. and not even n
band around the crown. This hat would
have made n lovely finish for a blue
serge suit and its wearing possibilities
would have been boundless.

hearing "the watchdog's honest bark"
In mary families each member has his
own dog and no child's life is consid-
cred livable without one. But the best
evidence Of all Is the shepherd himself,
who would be lost without the help
and cOmpaniOnship Of his dogs.
Be on Watch for Enemies.
Scotland is a great sheep-grOwing
country, yet 1t loves the dog; gives
him his due In life and reveres him
in death. At the castle In Edinburgh
there Is a little plot OF ground where
the dogs Of the Scottish soldiers are
buried; 1t Is a charming spot, and on
many little tombstOnes there are ten
der tributes to departed friends. In
front Of st. Giles cathedral In the same
noble city there Is a monument with a
little Skye terrier. and upon 1t. carved
in stone, an inscription to Robbie"
who refused to leave the church-yard
where his master was buried and died
upon his grave.
We want more dogs In America-not
fewer. They would be of great serv-
Ice guarding ammunition plants; In
helping soldiers on guard at a%queducts
and bridges In ferreting out suspicious
characters, the forest rangers all over
the West would find them invaluable
In densely wooded country. Farmers,
shepherds. cattlemen and ranchers
need them and the sneaking incen-
diaries. prisoners and devastatOrs
would find their work much harder II
there were more watchdogs on guard.
We must not part with our dogs.
One has only to read what dogs have
done and are doing In this war to real.
ize the extent to which they can be
trained. 1t Is said that the Red Cross
dogs can detect life in n wounded SOL
der lying out in No Mans Land when
the doctors themselves are In doubt.
They carry messages through shot and
shell; they bring up food and water
to the first line trenches, and many a
brave man owes his life to the intelli-
gence and fidelity of a dog.
In future when we read any Of these
"letters from the people" advocating
the destruction of the dogs-it would
be well to find out the ame and ad-
dresses Of the writer's and send them
to the secret service department to
be investigated. We have many scores
to settle against the Germans, and not
the least of. them Is their insidious,
.treacherous propaganda against the
best friend God has given to man.
