New York, Feb. 9-Means have
been found to make transports un-
sinkable by submarine, according to
statement made tonight by William
L. Saunders, vice-chairman of the ma
val consulting board in an address at
a dinner of the University of Penn
sylvania alumni in this city.
Mr.. Saunders said that one of the
ships recently Communicated by the
government, "now lies at an Atlantic
port and in such shape that she can
not be sunk by an exploding torpedo"

this information should be withheld"
he added. "On the contrary, l be-
'ieve it is well that the enemy may
come to realize that the time has
baen reached when America is ready
for the transportation of our troops
with transports which that enemy
cannot sink. This ship may have a
hole thirty or forty feet in diameter
blown in her side, and she will re-

Mr.. Saunders, in a statement cred
tied to him last May, asserted that
solution of the submarine problem
probably had been found by the
board, and in the opinion of the board
members the scheme as approved,
would put an end to the submarine
menace. He did not enter into de-
ails. Other members of the board
including Thomas Robins, it's secre-
sary. and Frank ]. Sprague, member
of the committee on submarines, took
issue with Mr.. Saunders that the So
luton of the U-boat menace had been
cached.

firing line.
This war will be won by steady,
persistent endeavor rather than by
spurts and spasmodio eAertion. We
have had great and admirable out
bursts of effort in Liberty Loan cam
paigns, and later we shall witness
sudden and tremendous efforts in
battle. But we rely upon something
else as the handspring of our war
enterprise That something else is
the steady and sustained expenditure
of national energy at all times and
under all conditions. That alone
makes decisive victory possible in
battle. The buying of War Savings
Stamps, Systematically and continu-
ously, corresponds to the work done
in the trenches and behind the lines
when there is nothing of impor-
lance to report" 1t is like the work
of the sailors en- vigil in the danger
zone during the long days when they
only watch and wait for submarine
attack. 1t is like the quiet, steady
beat of the. heart as it stores up the
reserve of force and energy that re-
spends when the call for extra eXer-
ton comes.
Again, the buying of Stamps at
frequent and regular intervals makes
for that national thrift, without
which we could not hope to win.
There are not enough rich men in
America to buy victory, even if we
confscate all their wealth. The war
can not be won merely by imposing
heavy taxes. 1t can be won only by
the united effort of all the people

The Meaning Of the
War Savings Stamps
(By Arthur NJ. Howe, of The Brook
1yn Daily Eagle

(By Arthur NJ Howe, of The Brook
Ign Daily Eagle.)
1t is a mistake to look upon War
Savings Stamps as small change
cleaners intended only to raise few
of the innumerable millions needed
to finance the great undertaking to
which we are committed. We do
not measure the value of these in
vestment mediums by the amount OF
money so obtained. We measure 1t
rather by the universal nature of the
appeal that brings the message and
the meaning of the war to every in
dividual of thinking age in the Unit
ed States of America.
Those who regard the sale OF War
Savings Stamps as a side enterprise
or as something that appeals mainly
to children totally miss the purpose
behind plan which is one of the best
thus far evolved for war purposes.
In the last analysis the selling Oh
these Stamps is the fitting OF the
whole Nation to sustain the burden
of the war. 1t is the application to
war finance of the principle of uni
yersal service. 1t aims to enlist all
of the American people in direct sup
port of that gallant minority among
them who have answered the call to
arms and prepared themselves for the
