navy to be built since the battle of Jutland on May s1-June 1. 1916. Doubt less she emnodies in her construction some of the lessons which the British navy learned from that instructive &C., ton.
 It will be of interest to compare the Hood with the U. $. $. New Mexico, our greatest man-of-war, and also with some of the Hoods predecessors in the British navy. Here are the figures:
 H. M. S. Hood-Displacem 1,zoo tons; length, S6o feet; speed. S1 knots armament, eight 15-inch, 12 5.5-inch. four four-inch anti-aircraft; armor. 12-inch.
 U. s. s. New Mexico-Displacemen S2. 900 tons; length. 500 feet: speed, 31 knots: armament 12 14-inch. IA five inch. four three-inch; armor, 14-inch. H. NJ. S. Renown (1916)-Displace- ment 26,500 tons; length. 75O feet; speed. S2 knots armament. six 15-inch, IT four-inch. two three-inch anti-air- craft; armor six-inch. H. M. S. Royal Sovereign (1s16)- Displacement. 26,75o tons; length, 580 feet: speed. 23 knots; armament, eight 15-inch. 14 six-inch. two anti-aircraft: armor. 13-fnch.
 H. M. S Queen Elizabeth 1s15)- Displacement. 27.50o tons length, 500 feet: speed. 25 knots. armament, eight f5-inch. 12 six-inch. two anti-aircraft. armor. 13-inch.

six-inch. two anti-aircraft; armor.
 nine-inch
 Doubtless there is some connection
 between a 14-inch armor belt and
 2l-knot speed. Does it pay. in these
 days of high speed. 10 sacrifice knots
 to armor?
 1t is obvious that to pile on armor
 cuts down speed. You must take your
 choice. If you pile on armor so heavily
 that your man-of-war can only mad ale along at 21 knots. doubtless you are protecting your crew. but are you fltting yourself to destroy your
 enemy? And the business of war, it
 must De remembered. is not the safety or the crew. but the destruction of the
 enemy. If the Navy Department is ! constructing battleships for the pur- pose of protecting crews. there are those who say that the crews might as
 well stay home in bed. where their
 lives would be far better protected than at sea.
 There are. too those who say that speed is the best ~armor. that if you l are able to outrun your enemy, the less armor you are weighted down with the better. This school of naval con- structors would brand the 31-knot 1 Hood with it's 12-inch armor belt as
 crime. They find their type of ship Tn the Renown. with its S2 knots and slN-lnch armor belt. With six inches of armor. it takes 112.00O horsepower to push the Renown to s2 knots. while l44.0Oo horsepower is required to shove the Hood. with 12 inches of armor pro- lection. up to 31 knots
 These are matters that do not pre- tend to judge. but the country ought 10 know at once whether a ship stripped of armor to make 3s knots Is feasible. and if feasible what advan- tases it would offer under conditions l of actual warfare. It is quite possible that such ship would be lost in its first action with a powerful enemy Presumably, however. we are not building battleships for use as sea- | mems homes. We are building them 1 for the purpose of destroying the enemy, If a 35-knot. or even faster ship, without the handicap of heavy armored protection, is able to destroy two or more of the enemy's ships be- fore she goes down. she will have served the purpose for which, presum- i ably. the department constructed her. All this. of course, supposes that we are still in the era of surface craft l It has nothing to do with the claims | of those who insist that the future of i naval warfare lies with submarines and aircraft. I have sat through half

 Men
By CLAIR PRICE

London, November 3O.-(special)- H. M. S. Hood. the greatest fighting ship in the world, has just been launched and the old question of the usefulness of great surface men of war pops up it's head again. The dis cussion is particularly acrimonious in connection with the launching of the Hood, for the recent books of Lord Fisher and Admiral Sir Percy Scott both of whom are leaders of that school of naval thinkers who believe the surface ship obsolete. have brought the subject well to the fore again.
 Additional interest is lent to the Hood. in view of the fact that she is the first capital ship in the royal

Curse of Acid Stomach Millions Suffer from It

Why do you see so many sick and ailing folks?
 Why doesn't the food you eat make you strong?
 Why do you now suffer mis- cries no one had years ago2
 Millions of people have asked this.
 Medical books tell the reason Rs an Acid -Stomach-that is, too much acid causes food to pass on a sour, fermenting mass. This sends poisonous germs and harmful acids sIl over the body, instead of strength and life.

 The great vulnerability of most cap. ital ships-i. e.. their vulnera bility in the face of torpedo attacks and mines has been supposedly remedied in the case of the Hood bv the adoption ot the bulge or blister hull and by a com prehensive system of bulkhead sub-di- vision. In this respect it is in line with the trend of naval construction on this side of the Atlantic, which tends to transfer ships protective equipment from above the water line to below it.
