without more uSNt cruisers our
dreadnaughts would easily be wined
out in battle. cruisers of this type
are capable of 35 knots per hour.
Their armament is lighter than that
Of a capital ship. But do not tbink

ers could have defeated the entire
American and Spanish fleets com.
bined that fought at Santiago that
Sunday morning in 1898.
Great Britain, by virtue of her SUI
perior number Of light cruisers. now
has battle superiority over our fleet.
although the arms pact cOntemplates
that we should be equal. And Great
Britains present program calls for
the construction Of ffty-two new
light cruisers. which win make us
all the weaker. This situation is
counter to American interest, al
though. we must confess, ii is SPLEEN
did peacetime naval strategy on the
part of the British.
Plenty of Destroyers
We are comparatively strong in
the matter of desroyers. In fact.
we have about two hundred of these
ships that we can not man. Some
Of them are not even being cared
Tor as they rest at anchor. These
small vessels have horse power equal
TO a battleship and are capable Of
making express train speed. They
use torpedoes at a maximum range
of nine miles and conduct their
naneuy-ers from behind self pro-
duced smoke screens. our destroyer
strength IS due 10 the fact tnat We
followed the urgent pleas Of our al
lies during the emergency Of the
World War instead Of following our
own desires Our allies wanted de
stroyers and we built them-plenty
of them.
But even our destroyer strength is
made less potent by our lack of
mother ships and tankers. The
cruising radius of a destroyer fleet
is limited by its fuel carrying ca
pacity. II the destroyers are re
CURED to make a long dash. their
speed can be no greater than that of
their supply ships, which will not
make more than ten knots.
Short on Submarines
In discussing naval weaknesses
we must not, overlook our submar-
ines. In the first place, We haven
"a sufficient number Of them. In the
second place, those we have are Of
an Anticipated type and in run down
condition. German methods caused
most Of US to look upon these sea
tigers with loathing. That sentiment
has been encouraged in America by
the British who, as you know, have
the greatest merchant marine and
therefore stand to loose more via
the submarine route than other ma
tons.
The place Of the submarine can
not be taken by any other type of
craft. 1t has a great usefulness in
defense and offense. The fact that
Germany used it as an instrument Of
terror is a reflection on Germany
rather than on the type Of ship.

THE JOINER
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

a DEAR old lady whom l once knew
\ used to say in evidence of the fact
that she had not wasted her eighty
years, that she had never belonged t.
a club nor been a member of a com
mittee.
Hers was, perhaps. an extreme view
to take, and one not likely to be ar
cepted by the impulsive youth. There
is no doubt much to be said in favor
of belonging to something. 1t may
widen ones acquaintance and develo;
initiative and increase responsibility
but be that as it may, very few fellows
who are asked to join anything can
find it in their hearts to refuse. Il
is a sort of flattery which all fall for
At this day and age, however when
clubs are multiplying and lists of pro
spectlye members are being prepared
and the nets are being laid to ensnare
the unsophisticated. it is possibly not
unwise TO sound a soft pedal of warn
ing. The man who asks you to join
something is like a promoter or an il
surance solicitor or book agent. He
presents the invitation so skillfully thai
it seems like a rare privilege that one
cannot afford to slight or the oppor
tunity of a lifetime which one should
not neglect. The prospect is alluring.
but the cost is sometimes pretty great.
One may belong to too many things.
l know a number of men who belong
to so many that they have time for
nothing else. The Joiner often has
no time for his regular work and no
money to pay his regular bills. All
his substance, both temporal and finan-
cial, Is wasted on his organizations, and
all he has to show is some unpaid bills
and a collection of curiously designed
pins.
Don't join anything that you haven't
time to help. and don't join anything
that cannot be of some real service to
you. A good many organizations are
cropping around with the hope that they
may ultimately find some real purpose
for existence besides contributing to
the support of jewelers., and getting
their photographs in the newspapers,
Joining becomes with many fellows a
fad and an obsession. 1t overshadows
every other ambition and desire 1t
may be good to join something, but II
is imbecility to join everything.

Much interest has been shown in
Europe in the successful transmits
sion in this country of photographs

have suggested that it may change
the whole existing foreign news

ed for certain sized sheet Of type
script, regardless of the number
of words, or messages might be
sent in highly condensed shorthand
and transcribed in the receiving
office. Such applications may be
remote, but it is already feasible to
aid justice by telegraphing por-
traits of criminals, their finger
prints, and specimens Of their
handwriting. incidentally, such
prompt service might save many
innocent suspects the embarrass-
ment of detention. Springfield Re-
