THE BATTLEsHIP PROBLEM

Can the battleship survive the de.
velopment of modern methods of at
tack? Experts differ on the subject
but England takes the affirmative
view and shows her faith by launch
ing the Hood, S30,00O,0OO fortress
of the sea. Those who believe that
the gigantic vessels of war will be
made obsolete by the increasing eff
fectiveness of the airplane and the
submarine may find some difficulty
in meeting the arguments and refut-
ing the assertions of Archibald Hurd
in the Fortnightly Review.
Not a single British warship was
destroyed, either by airship or air
plane, in the course of the long war;"
Mr.. Hurd recalls and he adds that in
the four and half years of strife no
battleship, battle cruiser or cruiser
of the grand fleet was destroyed as
I the result of a submarine attack. The
submarines were perilous mainly to
the unarmed merchant vessels, and
at the close of the war had been prac.
tically driven from the seas.
However, Mr.. Hurd does not give
the heavier types of ships much cred
it for their immunity. He attributes
this principally to the speedy and
intrepid destroyers which drew an
impenetrable wall about the heavier
vessels. The Hood, .however,'is more
capable of self-defense.
1t is equipped with anti-aircraft
guns and is fast enough to run away
from any submarine devised to date.
1t has a speed of thirty-one knots,
which is about twice that of the un-
dersea boats on the surface and four
times as fast as the subs under water.
Moreover. it is equipped with
"blisters" at and under the waterline
to absorb torpedo explosions. The
vessels decks are provided with spe-
cial armor to resist descending
charges.
The battleship problem is of dis
tinct interest in this country now, for
America is engaged in carrying out
battleship construction programme of
unparalleled dimensions. If world
peace is to remain an unattainable
ideal it is consoling to believe that
the great vessels being built will
represent something more than obso-
descent junk.-Louisville Times.

II seems that we are again in for
a race with the other nations for
naval supremacy. Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, though supposed to be
a man of peace, has said all along
that we must have 'incomparably the
biggest navy in the world" He
warned congress only few days ago
that we must go ahead and have
huge fleet in the Pacific in order to
combat Japan's growing ambitions
there.
Shortly after the news of the
launching of our record breaking

ment of eight 16-inch guns, the news
came from Japan that that country
had just laid the keel of a still bigger
dreadnaught, zoo feet long. of 10000
tons displacement and mounting 10
16-inch guns. So you see we must
plan still bigger ships.

No football honor roll would be
complete without mention of the
gameness shown by George Gipp of
Notre Dame and Barron of Georgia
Tech, both OF whom went into
games with broken collar-bones In
order to stave off possible defeat for
their respective teams.
Gipp. though injured. got into the
Northwestern game when defeat
stared the powerful Notre Dame
eleven in the face and negotiated a
play which scored the winning
touchdown for the Hoosiers.
Barron's pluck was perhaps even
more heroic. His collar-bone was
broken early in the season. Special
harness was made for him and he
played out the string. never giving
heed to the pain which he was
forced to endure when in action.
As he staggered off the field at
Pittsburg, Coach Glen Warner said:
There goes the greatest player l
have seen on this field in ten years."
Warner was referring to Barron's
gameness.
Football is a game in which 1t
takes grit to play a part.
But the demonstration of heroism
of Gipp and Barron stamps them as
super-game.

But just look around and see IL
you have a punch in your system
and IL you can land it first.

Gle pilot because he put the punch
into a ball club that COPIED the

point to land first on the s~coreboard
and when he didn't he kept smuggling
