As the sumborin® has beeu de
n eloped by the warring nations in
Kurope, It tends more .*uid more to
iioome a fully equipped and formid
able torpedo boat l'or use on the
surface o( the wa, end is distin
guished from other torpedo boats
by its ability to take refuge, it' nec
essary, under water, out of sight.
For fighting warships the submaritu
still what its name implies.
Against them it is unable to battle
with a fair chance of success while
it keeps on the surface. But in
warring upon an enemy's merchant
ships submarines of the newest type
• !o much of their work above water,
and they rely a great deal upon
other weapons than their tor
pedoes.
On tile surface they have speed
• •••lough to catch any ordinary
.aerchau; steamer. Practically :io
.'reighttrs can run away from them.
»ud most of the smaller passenger
boats ere unable to maintain a
::peed vi eighteen knots an hour
. bout twenty-one land miles. The
i'egt of the submarines carry one
: .i>-k-fi-e gun ingeniously mounted
• :i toil ot the boat in a shallow steel
which can quickly be closed by
watertight cover when the vessel
,i>es beneath the surface. With
this small cannon the submarine
can sink an average merchant
•teamer or kill mast of the crew.
U is possible to dispose of small
• raft without using the costly
' orpedoes which require a good deal
of space and mar be urgently
needed for fighting worships.
The submarines of this type are
much faster on the surface than
th'-v are beneath the sea and the
»'i! fuel l hey use when running
above the water is much less costly
and bulky man the electric bat
teries waich hare to be relied on
when th-^se boats are submerged.
The crews, of course, are far more
omtortavle when tie submarines
• re not wholly under water. The
air is better and the conditions
much more wholesome.
For all of these reasons the sub
marines teiid to become surface
torpedo boats using shells a good
dei.1 in destroying trerchant ships
and "diving" only when it is neces
sary for safety or tc get near a
hostile vess'.l which couUl not be
apj roach<-d "11 any other way. With
still greater size, speed and power
they will make longer cruises and
remain on the surface of the sea
even mora th&n the best of them do
now.
NATIONAL capital SKTS pack
Portl-ind Teles'"*™: Readers Of
The Tetf^ram will recall that a
• ouple of woeks ago this paper
rommeuti-d upou the national Clean
up and Paint-up campaign. This
paper believes hat PorllDi:d might to
join in that campaign. As was «x
I'lained in the former comment, and
as everyone knows rt*r well, there
.. ample opportunity to btuefit by
t.u- work which the campaign urges.
the occasion In this particular
viar ot" 1915 is special to Portland, j
Moreover, it may as well be said 1
now as any time that :t is not at j
!1 beneath our dimity.
According to the Washington Star
' iie national capital has gone into
this year's Clean-up and Pakit-up
lampaigu with a vigor that promises
.11 sorts of things. The Washing
tonians have gone at the business ,
aright. Ali the civic and commer- j
i ial organizations have joined in. j
Husiuess establishments have also,
'.iken a hand. All the newspapers of i
'he city are boosting the enterprise;
from every angle. There is a gen
eral Paint-up and Clean-up com
mittee. under the direction of which
fell these other forces co-operate.
Just at present the campaign is
in the publicity sta»«; the educa
tioual work is being done, so thai
the real task, which will be-gii:
:.bout the middle of April, may bi
the more thoroughly accomplished
Signs, cards, buttons aud lltera
ture are distributed throughout th<
city by the wagon load, it is the
declared intent of the combined or
ganization to reach and interest
every householder and property own
er in Che District of Columbia.
The details are interesting, and a
the same time they help us to gel
a more direct line on the enthusi
asm that is vitalizing those Washing
ton campaigns. Arrangements ar«
i.ll complete for the distribution of
SO,000 Paint-up and Clean-up but
tons. About 2000 big muslin signs
bearing the slogan oi the campaign
are to be placed in different lo
calities or displayed upon commer
cial vehicles of all descriptions
Finally it has beta arranged tt
semi out 85,000 card.; to individua
citizens before the work begins.
There can be no uoubt about th«
result cf this campaign, no doubt
about its benefit; aud we would in
quire ia all earnestness: If this
sort cf thing is good for the mag
nificent city of Washington, D. C
why is not good for the city oi
Portland?
He Was a Very
Mean Man
By OSCAR COX
I knew a mau who was so mean that
be married u woman tie believed to
be waiting f«>r bis best friend to
marry ber.
Ralph Newland and Herbert Tueket
were the friends. Ralph was the self
ish man. Herbert was so generous that
he would have given away his head If it
could have been of use to another. The
secret of Ralph's power over women
no one could explain except the girls
be fooled, and it is a question if even
they knew just bow be (lid it. At any
rate, he seemed to draw them as honey
draws tiles.
Tucker became engaged to Laura
Perkins mid introduced his friend
Newland to ber. Within a fortuight
she had deserted Tucker for Newland
Tucker was philosophic about it. He
said that if the girl preferred his
friend to him his friend was welcome
to her and she to him. After the dam
ace had been doue Newland sheered
off and left Miss Perkins out in the
cold. She tried to make it up with
Tucker, but Tucker would have uotb
ing to do with her. What made her
mad was that Tucker seemed to be
more friendly than before with the
man who had deprived him of her. it
was a direct reflection on her. indl
eating that Tucker felt grateful fo:
having been saved from her.
After awhile Tucker made up t<
another girl. Helen Splngler. He Intro
duced Newland to this one, too. tellini:
him that if he could win her away
from him he wts welcome to do so
Tucker didn't want any girl for a wli'i
who didn't love him better thati tin
whole world. He asked his friend to
put his second love to a similar test
to the first. Newland accommodated
him and captured the girl.
Tucker was so pleased at having
been saved from a girl who could noi
have been in love with him—so he c."
sidered it—that he blew Newland of!
to a champagne dinner. Newland was
surprised that his friend took all this
supplanting with such equanimity, but
could not detect the slightest wounding
of his amour propre. "It's all right,"
said Tucker, "only a matter of taste.
Some day I may find a girl who will
truly love me; tlu-n no one can take
her away from nie. Meanwhile 1 ap
preciate these services you are do
ing me."
Newland dropped the last girl as he
had dropped the first. Miss Spiugler
had more tact than the other. She
didn't let on she was a bit displeased.
She only said that there wasn't enough
in both the men to make oue real, no
ble. good man. and she was well rid of
both of them. P.ut she did not say this
to either Tucker or Newland; she said
it to a friend. As to the men, she told
them she hoped they would botu be
her friends for ever and ever. This
was after she had known of how Tuck
