NEW YORK, October 16.-Lewis W.

Power for England.
From the Dayton Daily News.

from the Dayton Daily News.
After six years of research and ex-
perimentation with working models,
engineers report once more on the
scheme to harness for power purposes
the tides at the mouth of the Severn
In England. The idea goes back many
generations. Every new government
has given 1t some consideration and
repeated Investigations Of all phases
OF the project. industrial, technical,
navigational and economic, have been
mace. But England is never in a
hurry with work of such magnitude.
Like the oft-proposed but never realized
channel tunnel and the problem of
Waterloo Bridge, the Severn enterprise
may provide many years more of con-
troversy before. If ever, anything Is
actually done about it.
During the eQuinoXes the waters at
the mouth of the Severn rise and fall
Al feet and the Spring tides range from
the neap of % to 40 feet. If dam
were built to hold back the water after
the tide had risen. releasing it then
through turbines to generate electric
power, moon and sun could indirectly
be harreSSed to British factories. It is
a scheme to tickle the vanity Of puny
man, and apparently a feasible one,
but the cost would be in the neighbor-
hood Of 40 million pounds, raising the
question OF commercial practically. It
Is estimated that the electrical unit Of
power from the. Severn station woulc
cost 0.2372 pence. A modern coal fired.
station already generates the same
unit for 0.3 pence. and the difference,
In view OF the fact that the latter cost
ultimately may be still less. is not o
sufficient inducemcnt for such prodi-
gious investment.
So the project Is likely to be long in
absyance, though it. is too fascinating
ever completely to Be lost sight Of.

PerilouS Naval Economy.

All comment on budget balancing
and the necessity for it. If the credit
OF the United States is to be MAIN
tanned. must start with recognition Of
the axiom that You cannot have your
CAKE and eat it, too. II the budget Is
in expenditure are inescapable The
question remains where they should b.,
made. They can be made In the right
places and in the wrong places. Econ
omy unwisely effected can easily be-
come extravaganza. on the well known
penny-wise, pound-foOlish plan.
The American people Will wonder,
as they learn today Of proposed s53,-
0GO.00 cut in the next years naval
appropriations, whether that Is sound
budgeting, world conditions being what
they are. To begin with, $53, 900, 600
is only something like one and a third
per cent Of the entire budget. The
involved saving, therefore, is not a con-
siderable item, yet the changes and
retrenchments IN naval affairs which
1t will require are Of serious magnitude.
1t will result, to begin with. in placing
one-third Of the entire feet on a So
called rotating plan. under which q
corresponding number Of ships and
men would be temporarily taken out OF
service
No final details for working out the
enforced economies have been complete
ly approved by the Navy Department,
but the tentative suggestions indicate
plainly enough the havoc that will be
wrought in our already under-treaty-
basis fleet. In sight are the retirement
or furloushing OF $50 to 1000 officers;
diminution Of enlisted personnel by
1000 Though cessation Of enlistments
and release OF men with physical i'm
pairments; retirement of $50 Marine
Corps officers; reduction of Marine
Corps enlisted strength by 34S men;
closing Of the Atlantic Coast and Chi
caso Naval Training Stations, and dras-
tic reduction Of civil personnel at navy
yards. Contemplated reduction Of per-
sonnel would bring the Navy down to
about 5000 officers and $4,000 men and
the Marine Corps to about 875 officers
and 5000 men.
With the General Board repeatedly
assuring the country as the former Sec
retary Of the Navy. Mr. Adams recently
did, that the ravages OF economy are
steadily and dangerously undermining
Americas defensive necessities ut sea.
there should be the most searching
scrutiny by Congress as to the wisdom
Of this latest attempt at cheeseparing.
Every well-informed student Of the
international situation knows that it Is
fraught with uncertainty and incalcu-
liable possibilities. Europe never since
1914 more fully deserved the name of
a powder barrel. Asia Is in explosion.
America has no right amid such con-
ditions to play the ostrich.
