Wuslilngiiij. \\ liate ver el.-e may be said of the subiii.irine torpedo boats of the Inited .stares, na\iil e:;peris fa- milhir witb thi-i lyiie of craf: are cun- fldent tbat the uiideruaier l-o,iis of no other nation are built uu sironLcr lines, in fact, naval oliieei-s suy thai none of the gn-at world powers reipiiies the conslructlon of suljiuarines to resist anything like the great water pressure tbat Is retpiired of .\iiiericun subma¬ rines.
.Submarines built for the .Vmcricau iM\y niu-i have hull stren;,'tb sutliiient li» resist lhe pressure of the oie.iu at a dejith of :iiU) feet, liefore these deii- ' ''^"' (ate craft are acct-iited tiiey must have withstood pressure at a de|)th around ;:ib feet, which is deenieil silUlclent, but iiiiist be slicing enough to l'o much lower. Ifritish and iJeiinan submu- riiies are uot reijuired to stand pressure al ;il>ij feel, the reiiuiiement usually running around L'W feet, (ierman sub- m,iriiies, as a rule, are tested ut a depth around l.'^n feet and tliose of the Brit¬ ish navy sonietlnies al a greater deplh. Ol all snbmaiine defects those af- I'eciing llle iiropelling engines havo I'cin most nnnierous and iiotheisnme. 'ilio ileveloiPiiieiil of this type of en¬ gine lias been very gradual. I nlil very recenlly. however, engine lioiilile has been of eommon occurrence in swli- nuirines, nnd the work of construction has been delayed more by engine de¬ lects probably than from all other de¬ licts combined.
For e.vamiile, while I lie loniiacls lor submarines iisuully call lor delivery withiu two years, it bus lieen under¬ stood at all times tbat the vessels could not be comiileted and delivei'ed in that time, and the reason given al- \Miys has been the engines, ll is be¬ lieved, however, that the submarine engines have been so far jierfected that from now on delivery of thc boats may be conlidently expected within the contract period. .Naval experts concede that iJeiniany may hnve a su- [lerior snlimarlne engine.
While deeply regretting Ihe loss of the l'"-}. wilh its crew of twenty-two men, naval oflicers tuke iirlde in tbe fad that that was the onl.\ fatal acci¬ dent to an .Vnierican snlunarlne. while -:iiuilar accidents have happened to the siihtiiarines of tbe bi.i.' i;iiropeuii imtiijiis on more I hiin one occasion.
Itut subinaiiiie cruising is huzurdous at best. The structure of a subma¬ rine is necessarily delicate. .Viiy one of many thingrs ml,-lit I:e resiionsible for w'-;.,)<ii:;- 'in innh'rwali'r ionii.
SL'KI-Ff.\<;K slogan much useil has been: "Women vote in nearly half the terrliui < ,.f the United States Why not In New YorkV" Our opp«- neuts I ke the reply, "fopulatlon votes, not territory " Win I, i.s right? Take the ei.wn stales Wyoming. Colorado. Utah, Idaho, Washington, CaH- fomia, Oregon, .\rizoua. Kan.sas. Nebraska. Montana. These are complete woman suffrage states, where women vote in every election In which men ara entitled to vote. .\dd the state of Illinois, where women may vote for presi¬ dent, for all municipal ofHcers and for many state offlcers, but not for all. The population of these twelve states In 1910 was 1.1,8i;8,060. Each one of thes* stares has two senators, twenty-four votes In all In the United States senate. Now lake twelve other states—Maine. Vermont. .New Hampshire. Massachu¬ setts. Coiinectlcut. Rhode Island. .New York, I'ennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana. .Michigan. The population Is 3(i,14«.74a Men only vote in these They lune the same number of senators as the suffrage states. In other words, .'Jii.l 4»!,743 of population cast twenty-four votes in the United States senate In these eastern states, whereas 13.828,060 in the western statea cast an equal number of votes.
Is this popiili'ilon or territory voting? Little Nevada has ouly 81.875 people, bill It has ,i> I.; ,ii.\ votes in the United States senate as New York with Its 9.1i;i.*)14. Whi 'i votes-territory or popul^ion?
Whnt does the United Slates seiiHte vote about? The president, with the consent and apiuoval of the senate, has complete control over all diplomatic relations wnh foreign countries The senate ratifies every treaty with a for¬ eign government. It ratifies appointments of all ambassadors, consuls aud spe¬ cial euiKsMrles to roreign countries. It ralllies the appointment of the judges of the su[ireme court and other high ofllcials. No treaty can be ratified witbout Ihe consent of two-thirds majorily of the senate. The senate consists of nine ty-si.T senators. In the sixty four votes which constitute a two-thirds majority twenty four voles cast by the western senators, who are elected by the votes of men and women Jointly, is decidedl.v a controlling number. So it happens that half thc teriilory of the United States, with Its 13.(MW,(HlO of population, has precisely the ^ame intiiicnce over onr foreiirn fiollcles as b :tC,.<)(Xl).tM)l) of [ieo|i!e In the easf
