much to the amount Of taxation as they
do to the manner in which the money
raised is spent, Edgar a. Perkins, Demo-

addressed a large assembly in the Deni-
son Hotel. Mr.. Perkins pledged himself,
should he be elected TO the strictest
economy in the administration Of the
city's affairs.
In their interest in the nomination Of
a man for mayor, the speaker declared,
the people should not overlook the fact
that other city officials are to be elected,

WERE EXPERTS
IN MINING.

Joseph Strauss and George r. Marvel
undertook the study Of improving mines
and devising better methods for laying
them. The Baltimore was fitted up as a
mine ship. Many new wrinkles of great
value were developed In experiment. So
when we entered the war we knew some
thing about mining
We were qualified as experts IN this
department OF naval warfare 1t was A
great satisfaction to ME then to reflect
that. long before there had been a feck
Of war-cloud as big as n mans hand in
the sky, l had approved this particular
work Of research and taken intense In
terest in its developments.
So Immediately upon our entrance into
the war-in April, 1917-the Navy De-
partment Of the United States, through
Its bureau Of ordnance, made the sug-
gestion that 4 mine barrage be laid
across the North Sea from the Orkneys
TO Norway. We believed this would end
the U-hoat menace. We believed Ger
many would have to keep her undersea
navy at home II we would close the $50
mile door to the Atlantic And we in
Washington believed we could close It.
There were doubters among our home
strategists, but there were more who be-

to make the effort. But IN Great Britain

WHAT DEFEATED
THE SUBMARINES.
! If the fighting Of the submarine menace
had been left to patrol by the surface
craft Of the allied and associated powers
there might have been another finish TO
the war than that which gave democracy
It's victory. The magnificent heroism OF
British and French and American sailors
might not have overcome the handicap
of surface exposure. Just two things de-
feated the submarine-the convoy system
and the mine barrage. The American
Navy made convoy possible and it put
through the mine offensive.

Of the bureau of ordnance, who, a few
