Need Of Cruiser Types

These boats remained at sea for
months, sank many ships by torpedoes
and gunfire, and one mine layer alone
sank an armored cruiser and seriously
damaged battleship. Notwithstanding
this fact, proving, as 1t did, three years
ago the necessity for such types in
offensive warfare overseas, not one
boat of this type has been produced
in our navy and only three may join
the feet in 1924-six years after the
Germans demonstrated their offensive
usefulness in war!
By decree of the Council of Am
bassadors these German U-boats
now in our possession are to be de-
stroyed by bombing experiments prior
to August 81, 1921. Have we taken
proper measures to secure plans of
their machinery and superior fittings
for adoption in our inferior boats be-
fore these efficient fighting craft are
destroyed? 1t is inconceivable that
the Navy Department will neglect
such an opportunity. We shall see.
There is no room for narrower minded
ness in considering the forces, the
types of ships. and the weapons that
must be provided If the United States
is to have strong navy in 1921 anG
in years to come. The naval mind
must not be controlled by a single idea.
If legislation satisfies itself with =
one-idea navy there can be but one
result-the expenditure of enormo-s
sums of money with no adequate re-
turn for the investment. The battle

Mr.. Lear the King, once said. "How
sharper than serpent's tooth it is to
have thankless child" We can't say
that it has ever troubled US much, but
then we have never really banked on
any outbursts of gratitude from H. Sd.
To be sure, conditions were a little
different with Lear. His were grown
up. But, even so, the parent who lays
up children for a rainy day seems to
us far from generous or even shrewd.

remark, Did / ask to be born?" And

vision for a comfortable old age, but
it does not seem to US quite fair that
we should use it as blanket obliga-
ton with which to smother the rising
generations chance for a tumultuous
youth.
Of course, it is little difficult to
tell just what impression Lear in

German Boats Superior

The marked superiority Of the Ger
man U-boats, as compared with our
own, is we'll known TO the officers who
from experience and observation are
competent to judge. In fact, this con-
dition has been brought to the atten-
tion of the Navy Department from time
to time by official reports Of inspection
and by officers who from sense Of
duty to the navy have felt the need of
adopting new and improved machinery
and of building new types. 1t would
not be strange that four years Of sub
marine warfare should result in the
perfection or material Improvement of
many CONSTITUTIONAL and practical fea
lures in the craft upon which Ger
many mainly depended to win. the war.
This fact has been clearly demon
strated by the record and inspection
of two captured German boats which
were brought. from Kiel to the United
States. One of these boats has cruised
$1,000 miles without mishap to its
machinery! In this respect, as we'll as
in many others, the inferiority Of our
submarines Is conclusively proved. And
as regards types, 1t is well known that
the Germans cent cruiser submarines
and mine layers to our coast in 1918.

INDIANA CELEBRATES
ADMISSION TO union
DECEMBER 9 And 10
tBy Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. Z. - Celebra-
ton of Admission Day" by appropri-
ate ceremonies is planned when the
third annual state history conference
is held here Dec. and 10 under the
auspices of the Society of Indiana
pioneers. Indiana was admitted TO
the Union on Dec. IL, 1916, but as this
date falls on Sunday this year the eel
ebration will be held one day earlier.
The program for the celebration is
now being arranged An invitation
has been extended to the historical
society at Fort Wayne to present a
review of the states progress since
its admission.
The Indiana Historical society is
conceded to be one of the Oldest or
CARNATIONS in the state. 1t was or
ganized the day the state was adj
mitted to the Union. 1t has been in
active at different periods but has
been revived and at the present time
has a membership of over 500 persons.
Miss Lucy Elliott of the state histori-
cal commission, is secretary of the
the state meeting in December the
membership will be close to 1000.
Aim of Organization
The society, according to the min.
utes of its first meeting in 1916, was
organized with the object of collect
ing and preserving the materials for a
comprehensive and accurate history OF
our country, natural, civil and politi
cal, many of which are of an ephem
eral and transitory nature, and in the
absence of well directed efforts tt
preserve them, are rapidly passing in
TO oblivion"
One of the principal subjects for dis
cussion at the meeting in December
will be means for compiling commun
ity histories. The development of ar
authentic state history depends large
ly upon the records kept by communi
ties, leaders of the historical societ!
say.

Everyday Adventures

Mrs. Thomas had decided that
one of the best and easiest ways
to add to her income would be to
rent the sunny room on the second
floor that was never used except
when Aunt Bessie made her annual
visit to town.
So she lettered neat sign, an
nouncing to a waiting world that
she had Vacancy, and put it in
one of the parlor windows. In the
meantime, she cleaned the room
and prepared everything for the
rush of dodgers.
But, somehow, the rush became
side-tracked or never got started,
because at the end of two weeks it
looked as though Aunt Bessie could
have her regular room whenever
she came for her next visit.
And Mrs. Thomas was distressed
and puzzled to know why her at
tractive room didn't draw any ap-
plicants-until she happened to
talk the matter over with a neigh
Dor who dropped wise suggestion

Nobody can form an idea, from look
ing at Uncle JOE CANNON or thinking
of him, of how far away May Z, 1885,
really is. That was the date Of Uncle
JoE's birth, SO he is IS to-day.
When JOE CANNON was born, down
in Guilford, North Carolina, there
wasn't railroad In that State. In
fact, the efficiency engineers OF that
day were just discovering that steam
could be got up with coal as well as
wood. There was no telegraph at all,
for MORSE was still tinkering with his
device.
ANDREW JACKSON was President
when little JOE was born. ABRAHAM
LINCOLN had been studying law about
q month. Congress was making up Its
mind that 1t could not interfere with
slavery. Texas had just declared It
self republic. Chicago's population
was 1900. The national debt was
less than a million dollars. If this
does not impress sufficiently the re-
moteness of the period, let 1t be said
that 1886 was the year when genius
in Centreville. Michigan, invented fine
cut chewing tobacco.
Since that distant seventh of May
JOSEPH GURNEY CANNON has waxed
strong and wise. He has practised
living and law and INDUCED in the
habit Of going to Congress. He
started the habit in GRANTS first
term and has abandoned 1t only
twice, temporarily, when the Eigh-
teenth Illinois district, In fit OF
political alteration, elected somebody
else who Is long since to fame for
got. Uncle JoE's score Is from the
Forty-third to the Sixty-seventh Con-
gress inclusive, leaving out only the
Fifty second and the Sixty-third. And
he was Speaker Of the House from
the Fifty-eighth to the Sixty-frst in
elusive. His service in Congress Is
the longest in history.
uc year IcOo saw Tic ih VI q
good many other fine Americans, such
as EUGENE HALE, WASHINGTON GLAD
DEN, WrYsLow HOMER, THOMAS BAL
LEY ALDRIcH, AUSTIN FLINT, Bishop
CHENEY, EL1HU VEDDER, SIMON KEN
TON and STUART RoBsoN but they
had their time Of activity and have
passed from the scene, while Uncle
JOE remains and piles up years and
Witty sayings.
The town Of GuIlford. North Caro-
lima, ought to have big celebration
of the Cannon centenary on May Z,
1896. There is only one orator At
for the occasion and that is Uncle
JOE himself. Let the citizens of Gull
ford book him now.
