sUBMARINES

~ AlfA fAAH I'D
8@@@@@44@@&4&8@@8&@
The first recorded experiment in
submarine operation was made by
a Hollander, DR.. Cornelius Van Dreb-
bel, who in 1924 constructed a one
man submarine operated by feather
ing oars, which made a successful
underwater trip from Westminster
to Greenwich, on the River Thames.
DR.. David Bushnell, an American in
ventor and a graduate Of Yale in the
class Of IT'S, nearly sank the Eagle
in New York harbor during the rev
dictionary war by the use Of his lit
tie one-man-powered submarine cali
ed the American Turtle. In England
the American inventor, Robert Full
ton, In the presence Of William Pitt,
then chancellor, and a large number
Of spectators, blew up brig by ex-
ploding mine which he had placed
under her bottom, by the use of his
submarine boat. Both Of these in
ventors were discouraged and re-
fused the necessary assistance to en-
able them to develop further their
ideas regarding submarines, although
they had undoubtedly shown that
there We're great possibilities in the
underseas boats.
Various unsuccessful attempts were
made to utilize submarines during
the civil war, but at that time the
only means of defense was a torpedo
on the end Of long spar and the
solitary recorded miss was disastrous
to both the submarine and the war
ship. Just as the breech-loading ri
file, very ancient device, failed to
come into its own until the invention
Of the metallic cartridge, the subma-
rine had to await the invention Of
the automatic torpedo before it be-
came a really efficient means of
offense.
Modern submarines are divided into
two general classes: the coast de-
tense type Of from 300 to 700 tons
surface displacement, and the cruis-
ing type Of from 800 to $500 tons
displacement, having a radius of ac-
ton Of from 5000 to 5000 miles
and capable Of operating along the
Atlantic coast of the United States
from European bases. The smallest
type of modern coast defense sub
marines, which can carry the neces-
sary apparatus to have useful
range Of action, weighs about 300
tons; the handling of such weights
from the deck Of a vessel at sea can
not be accomplished with any degree
Of safety. Generally the Geramn "
boat is made with double hull. The
bottom space between the inner and
outer bulls is used for water ballast
and the top space for carrying fuel
oil. Water ballast displaces the fuel

M,MILLIN GETS RAW DEAL

The Washington correspondent OF
the Commercial Appeal, in special
to that paper under date Of June 20
says:
In transferring Gov. Benton Nc
Millin from Peru to Guatemala just
as the former post is advanced to
the rank of an embassy is not I'M
derstood by the Tennessee senators,
who purpose an investigation before
the matter is finally closed.
There is a feeling that McMillin
has not been given a square deal
Why and how it was done nobody
here interested in him is able to say.
The president, however, viii be ask
ed about it on his return to Washing
ton.
AS minister to Peru McMillin has
worthy record, and when, during
the last Congress, the Senate placed
Lima in, the embassy class it was
conceded the distinguished Tennessee
an would be named as the first am
bassador.
He had earned the promotion and
why it has been denied him win be
probed. AS a matter Of fact, the Ten
nessee senators, as well as q number
Of older senator's, voted TO elevate
the rank Of the diplomatic represent
alive at Lima under the apprehension
that McMillin was to receive the pro-
motion. Naturally McMillin expected
the recognition and was encouraged
to believe that it would be bestowed.

The Whitehead torpedo is used in
almost all the navies Of the world to
the exclusion Of nearly every other
type. 1t was the invention Of Mr..
Whitehead, a experimenting engineer
at Fiume, Austria 1t was success
fully tried about 1867, at which time
it had a speed Of six or seven knots
for several hundred yards. Since that
time the power, speed, range and ac-
curacy have gradually been developed
until the present time, when the tor
nedoes are required to make a speed
Of 80 knots for a distance Of more
than half a mile and strike ship
within a few yards of the point'
aimed at. The Whitehead torpedo
consists of a cylindrical steel, to the
forward end of which is attached
pointed or conical head containing
the explosive, and to the after end is
attached the metal casing carrying
the engines, propellers and operating
mechanism. The more. modern ones
are about 16 IL feet in length, 78
inches in diameter, and weigh nearly
1880 pounds. They cost between
$4,000 and $4,000. The motive power
is supplied by charging the flask
with air under 1900 pounds pressure.
The impulse for projecting into the
water is obtained by exploding sew
eral ounces of powder in the rear
end Of the tube or by utilizing res
ervoir Of compressed air. AS the
torpedo leaves the tube a latch trips
a valve in the torpedo and admits
air to the engines. 1t plunges into
HE water at a speed Of from 25 to
30 feet per second and at once comes
lnder its own motive power and guild
ny mechanism. 1t can be adjusted
,efore firing so that the engines will
top at any given distance from the
firing point and the torpedo then
,ither sinks to the bottom or rises
o the surface as desired. It can be
made to run at any required depth,

IN MEMORY OF LITTLE GORDON

Gordon Taylor, little son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Willie T. David, died at the
home of his grandfather April 10,
1919, and was buried the day fol-
lowing in the Walton graveyard.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. T. Riley Davis, as
sisted by Rev. Robt. A. Clark.
Little Gordon was only two months
and n days old. His father never
had the pleasure of seeing his little
darling. He was crossing the deep
blue sea, coming home to his wife
and darling baby, and the Lord saw
fit to take it before he got home.
Willie 7, was in Company D, 105th
Engineers.
Weep not, dear mother and father,
for some sweet day wee Willie
for some sweet day we win meet
little Gordon in heaven, to part no
more.
A precious one from us has gone;
A smile we loved has ceased.
A place is vacant in our home
That never can be filled.
He has fallen asleep! Oh, mother and
father, tits past.
Thank God as you weep; he is resting
at last.
Go, little Gordon, to thy home on
yonder beautiful shore.
We miss him here, but soon will come
where he has gone before.
Sleep on, little Gordon, and take thy
rest.
Jesus called you home because he
thought it best.

U. S. GETTING READY
FOR DECENNIAL CENSUS

Washington, July 2.-Uncle Sam is
rapidly getting ready to "take stock"
To put it more clearly, preparations
are well along for the fourteenth
decennial census, to be taken in 1920.
The last Congress granted an ap-
preparation for the work, and a force
Of several hundred clerks is busy in
the census bureau making the neces-
sary preparations for the huge task,
which must be accomplished in a few
weeks.
For this immense job, the bureaus
regular force Of about 400 employees
viii be expanded to $4,000 or more.
The appropriation which Congress
has made for the work is 500, 500, 900.
This amount covers also the ordinary
expenses Of the bureau during 1919.
The census will include not only
enumeration of the population Of the
United States, continental and insular,
but also canvass of the agricultural,
manufacturing, mining and quarry,
oil and gas and other interests for
all the states as well as for the Dis
trict Of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii,
Porto Rico, Guam, Samoa and the
Canal Zone.
For the purposes Of the enumera-
ton the country has been divided into
378 supervisory districts, with SUI
pervisor for each, to whom about
$4,000 enumerators will report.
The actual enumeration will be
completed in few weeks, although
it will be several months before re-
suits win begin to be known. Never
theless, the figures will be available
much earlier for the 1920 census
than was the case in 1910, because
this time the census viii be as of
January |, instead Of April Is, as in
1910. The change was made because
it is believed the agricultural census
will be more reliable on the earlier
date.

course, viii be in the population, but
a great many interests require much
more detailed information, such as

It Will Settle Nations War
Debts and Will Care for

Once in while some one asks:
Whats the need of another Liberty
Loan now that the war is over?"
Revenue from taxes will not be suf-
ficient to pay all the bills, so the
people will be called upon to provide
/ the money by subscribing to govern
i ment bonds. This money is going to
pay off the army of producers at home
the farmers. merchants, manufac-
turers and others.
America had just begun to fight

! quit. Allied leaders expected the war
to last another year and the United
States government was turning out
ships, arms, ammunition and food to
/ overwhelm Germany in one big
drive
Treasury officials have revealed
/ that in 1919 America would have had
a tank at the front for every seventy
five feet of line. We would have had
/ ten tons of mustard gas ready for
! shipment for every ton Germany
could produce. Thousands of batter

Everything else was being produced

This gigantic preparation brought
an early end to the war and saved
thousands of lives. Victory Liberty
Bonds will pay for this work which
had been contracted for and was be-
ing delivered when the armistice was
signed.
There are other purposes for which
money is need. Part of our army of
100000 men must be kept in Europe
until the peace treaty is signed.
These soldiers must be fed. clothed
and otherwise maintained. Then they
must be brought home.

ed for in hospitals. The army must
be demobilized There are thousands
Of manned soldiers, heroes of the
| great war, who must be taught self

This reconstruction work at home
must be carried on. The job must be
finished. The American people who
furnished the money to win the war
must supply it also to bring the ma

for the Italians to understand why
England is not imperialistic in claim

to compel Italy to yield her claims
Leave Italy alone in complete isola-

and food cut off. Starve her It is
strange that these newspapers do not

Allies would feed Germany and the
other enemies accused of so many
dreadful crimes; they would feed the
Bolsheviki in order to placate them;
and these newspapers are threatening
to starve and strangle Italy, to whom
the greatest part of the victory must
be credited, because Italy, having full
filled her obligations, asks the Allies
to do their duty and to be loyal to
her. In very clear and proper terms
this cannot be called anything but
blackmailing. Is it possible that
America and the Allies are going to
dishonor themselves in order to back
