New Armament: Prevents

Useless W&sting of Explosives in Torpedo and Is Much More Accurate.

LONDON, July 19. That the latest

German submarines are practically submerged light cruisers and carry tuns which make them fully as formidable in offensive as vessels of the latter class is the statement made today by a leading English authority on naval matters. "When the war broke dut,M be said "Germany, like the other sea powers, had a certain number of submarines that carried guns. These, however were small weapons. The calibre of the piece and the way in which it was mounted made It ineffective for such purposes as sinking a ship. Really, these submarine 7 weapon, whether placed outside the boat Or on a rising s carriage, were little more than experiments. "Germany is now using much larger submarines, and these are armed with four-Inch quick firing gufi, which bears about the same relation to the earlier submarine weapons that the 17-inch howitzer does to the ordinary field pieces. "In addition to introducing this big gun into their submarines, the Ger"mans have mounted it in a very inventus manner. Gun, platform, etc., are carried snugly inside the boat while she Is cruising, and the method of bringing it into action la very quick and efficient. Two men take their seats on the elevator platform beside the gun. A pull on a lever and the platform shoots up, carrying the gun with It. "As it rises from the boat the gun lifts off a hatchway, which automatic

ally forms a protective shield for the gun and the rnen who work it. One of these men turns the weapon around to whatever direction is required, while the other elevates or depressed knd also fires it. Another pull of the lever and down drops the gun again, the hatchway automatically closes, and the submarine is ready to dive. "For attacking merchant vessel this 4-lnch gun comes much cheaper than torpedoes would and in some ways it is more effective A torpedo costs -thousands of dollars, and it may miss its mark. Scores of German ' torpedoes have done so. But a round for a T 4-lnch gun costs little and if the first shot fails a second can be sent quickly after It. "Besides this, the gun has a long range. It fires a thirty-one-pound projectile with sufficient velocity to penetrate ten inches of iron at close range, which means that the shell will carry a long way, and it is more difficult for a ship to escape from a submarine thus armed than for one using torpedoes only, particularly so as the Qermans have adopted for use . in their submarines a torpedo that has i short range but carries ah unusually powerful charge of explosive:"

When she wore little half-hose and sandals, and a pink sash with big hair ribbon to match; she couldn't J wheel her doll baby two yards without being surrounded by a half-dozen cherub-faced laddies. And, when she started to school, no freckled-faced, snubby-nosed member of the opposite Bex pulled her curls or called her horjrid names. Instead, the boy in front of her gave her an enchanting red lead pencil, which was promptly thrown aside when she received a bright yellow one with a rubber on it from the be-spectacled, serious lad in the back Beat. Perhaps it was her sunny smile, and her sweet, unselfish ways, or maybe She had a precious Instinct which helped her comprehend the mysteries of a small boy's heart. But there was one boy whose eyes never once drifted her way, and when she met him going to and from school, he passed her with a proud and lofty air, and, curiously enoughs sire liked him better than the rest! And now that she has closed the door of childhood behind her, it is just the same. Others may play the unwilling part of Wallflower, but not she! She wears more f rat pins than 'any other girl, and the florist knows the number of her house by heart. That she is fickle, everyone knows, but she's the prettiest girl in town and the merriest! . And it her smile is a trifle wistful sometimes, who is to know that It is for the One. Man who possesses her by.fjvitb a look that means no more. no less, than: "The rose that all are praising is not the rose for me."

"A Man and His Wife"

John Notices "a Chanje in IsaWwhich He Cannot Qiitite !fcxlain.

BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER. Looking back in after years upon the Incident of Mrs. Simmons' birthday roses, Isabel Hamilton felt that this had been the turning point in her married life. Of course she. and John had often bad discussions, difficulties and misunderstandings before this, but Something seemed . to change in hr when be reproached her with the fact that a married man's time is not his own. s He . did not know that his remark had had any more serious effect than had many other impatient speeches. A man does not always know Just when be has done most mischief. Perhaps the wife herself did not realise at that moment how deeply she was wounded. Yet she was surprised to hear how calm her voice was when she replied to his assertion. "Perhaps you are right," she said slowly. "A married man's time is not his own nor is a married woman's tithe all her own either. I suppose that is one of the conditions of matrimony," "With a woman It Is different," he affirmed. "Why?" she ftsked. "Because a woman never has been in the habit Of doing as she pleased, she has always had her path laid out for her." She smiled with faint irony. "You are old-fashioned,- John, and are thinking of women of cast generations our grandmothers; for instance. Yet, if the truth were known, perhaps even they did not always do just what their so-called lords and masters expected of them. And I belong to a generation that believes in an equal standard. What I have told you often I repeat now what a man may do a woman may do." He shook his head. "You may think

What ybu like, but it won't work. It is fortunate, however, that a woman's life is sheltered so that She Cannot be indiscreetImean if she is a good wife," he said enigmatically. "A man always thinks ,ihat of his woman." How sure John felt of her, she mused. In spite of the episode with regard to Duval, he had not dreamed that she might ever be tempted to do the very kind of thing that he, her husband, was always doing. The matter of the birthday flowers showed her that' he was in constant communication with Adelaide Simmons. She had invited him to her house, he had sent her roses, and she, doubtless, had written to him at his office thanking him for them yet but for the florist's mistake the wife would never have suspected all this. She did not feel like crying, like reproaching her. husband. The wound was too deep for that. She had reached a point where she saw, as she fiad never been before, that John could not be frank with her. Hitherto she had suspected this fact; now she was sure of it. What could she do? Before she thought this matter out for herself she wished to dismiss the florists bill. She took from the roll of bills Jobtf had just banded to her the money she owed for the daffodils. This she handed to her husband with the bill, which, only a few minutes ago, she had insisted that he give her. ."Here is the money for the dinner flowers," she said. "Since you have to go to the shop to pay for your roses it will be well to settle the entire account at once. It will look better," He glanced at her in surprise. What change had come over her? She spoke dispassionately, as one man might speak to another. "All right," he agreed. He had supposed that she would go

to her room now as she had don Often after One of their altercations. Instead, she took up a bit of sewing from her work basket on the table at her side. "Suppose,," she proposed blandly, "you 7s read1- aloud some more of that book we started the other bight." "Surely I will," he said relieved that there was to be no painful scene. Yet the sensation of relief was only temporary, for it was swallowed up in bewilderment at her poise and her lack of excitement. He began to read aloud, but his mind was not on the printed page and a close listener would have detected a lack of expression in the sentences that flowed from his lips. But his wife was hot at present a close listener. She, too, was busy with her own thoughts so busy, indeed, that she could nqt have told whnt John was reading about. She had taken up her reverie as easily as she had taken up her sewing. One idea after another ran through her mind As her needle darted . in and Out of the fahrif upon which she was working. Yes, John felt perfectly sure of her. He did not know the jealousy that tormented her. He was married to her, yet led his own life; she was married to him, yet was supposed to do only that which he considered right and proper. If she submitted to this kind of thing it was her own fault. She was justified in doing anything that he did. He. had his women friends; she might have her men friends. Then to her as to many another woman who had decided to shape her course as a man shapes his came the disconcerting recollection that a man can go where he wishes . to go,, but that a woman must wait to be sought. How, could she, Isabel Hamilton, get out of the rut of wifely duty and domesticity, the beaten path of conventionality that had been planned for her? How? The answer formed itself in her mind swiftly. By enlarging her circle of acquaintances, by entertaining in her home so that she would be entertained in return. She would begin soon just as soon as she had cov-

ered slit tfr Ifrote the financial strain Of thatllrit dinner. -

So absorbed was she In this idea that, when the clock struck ten, and

John laid, "1 hsr finished this chapter. Shall 1 start another! she re

plied irrelevantly. "No. dear, I think

not And. by the way. we must soon be planning to have the Ferris here to dinner." ..v-: John looked blent tor a moment While he had been ptythg scant attention to Whet he bad been reading, he

wondered what could be the connec

tion between this and his wife's suggestion. ;- '

There wee Indeed no association of

J9.A capacity of fifteen carloads of

projectiles and cannon hae been reach

ed by the Bethlehem Steel company,

finder the guidance - f Charles M

Schwab This is the dally output of the 15,000 meii employed at the Bethlehem works. Night and day the busy

hum goes on unceasingly, and Schwab within the space of six or eight months hai established a record that

rivals the famous Krupps of Germany,

From a common steel mill, the works

have been transformed into a bristling arsenal. New buildings have shot

up from the ground like mushrooms, and the busy hammers resound before the roofs are completed. Since June l tome five hundred

carloads have been seat. westward to

Russia. There are fifteen Russian officers here constantly for inspection

of the material. Another fifteen French

military officers are watching the mak

ing of munitions for France, and ten English officers are inspecting munitions under the contracts with that country. : s Sightseers are halted a half a mile

away from the shipping yards. A tall board fence topped with several

strands of barbed wire, forms an im

passable barrier around the works. Uniformed guards are at the gates.

and strict measuresare being taken against spy work and maniacs. A squad of a hundred detectives 1b maintained by the company. They are sprinkled over the plant, the ma

jority of them in the buildings where the shells are made. So strict are the measures taken, that workmen in the most important shops get in only by

password and identification. Mr. Schwab personally - declines to have a guard, and declares he is mind

ing his own business. It is common gossip that cranks have tried to get Into the big plant, and that each mail brings scores of threats against the big arsenal.

WANTS EAST SIDE TO BE NEW CITY

In the reign of Philip III of France women were forced to wear veils in obedience to ecclesiastical degree.

To make New York's east side a city within itself is the aim of Harry Schlacht, who was born and brought up in this most polyglot community. Schlacht says there is nothing wrong with the east side, which lies in the district bounded by the east River and Fourteenth street, Third Avenue and the Bowery, and the Battery. All the east side needs, according to Schlacht is a chance to live and thrive. Neighborhood associations, and the, right kind of men at the head of them, will lift this section of New York to a higher level says Schlacht.

He is the superintendent of the East Side Protective Association, which has organized the little boys of that section into

juvenile police.

The traffic over the four East river

bridges in New York approximates 721,000 tons every days.
