WASHINGTON. Aux- 25 Aboil-
lion of the submarine as an lnt;u
ment of modern warfare does not
seem probable to Ameriraa naval of
ficers who have stven careful study
to the arguments put forth before
Allied naral ronnnlsaions investigat
ing the subject. It In the belief of
these officers that submarines will
become more and more n'inietui in
the principal aavies of the wcrld dur
ing the next few yers.
Many loiU Favor
Iu reviewing the deliberations of
the Allied Commissions on Naval
Terms, American officials find that
while many pertinent arruna-nta
were oe eloped against the use ot
tubmariucs, many strong points also
irere advanced in their faror. The
principal argument for this abolition
was that as kxig as the submarine
sre recognised as legitimate Instru
ments of warfare there would remain
the danger of some nation repeating
the ruthless and inhuman campaign
inaugrated by Germany. Advocates
of the submarine, however, do not
believe such past Inhumanities
should be the determining factor In
deciding whether the submarine
should abolished.

wnicn seemed to press the flame
searingly down into my flesh, and
then for a little I knew no more.
. It seemed only a moment that
lost consciousness. When I came
back to myself I was lying on the
couch with Lillian Underwood's deft
tender fingers working over me
From somewhere back of me Dicky'
voice sounded in a hoarse, gasping
way that terrified me.
"For God's sake, Lil, is she "
Lillian's voice, firm, reassuring
answered: "No, Dicky, no, she's pretty bad
ly burned. I fear, but I am sure she
will be all right. Now, dear boy. ge

her lie down. Mrs. Durkee and T
can take care of Madge better with

"Coming as soon as he can get
here." Alfred Durkee replied.
"Good." Lillian returned. "Now
everybody but, Mrs. Durkee get out
of here. Katie, brinar a blanket-
some sheets and one of Mrs. Graham's
old nightdresses from her room
shall have to cut the gown."
Even through the terrible scorch
ing heat which seemed to envelop m
body I realized that Lillian, as al
ways, was dominating- the situation -

Lillian already had secured our rirs
aid kit and was giving me the treat

until the physician should arrive.
I am sorry to confess it. but I am
a coward where physical pain Is con
cerned. I am not one of these wo
men, who can bear the torturinr
pangs of any illness or accident with
out an outcry. And. struggle as 1
might. I could not repress the moan
which rose to my lips.
"I know child." Lillian's tender
hands held my writhing ones, her
pitying eyes-looked into mine; but
she turned from me the next moment
in amazement, for Robert Gordon
the mysterious man who had loved
my mother, appeared, as If from no

Mr. Gordon fled at once. And Lil
lian and Mrs. Durkee worked
swiftly and skillfully that when the
physician, a kindly, elderly pract
itioner from Cresthaven arrived, my
pain bad been assuaged.
He looked searchingly at me. crit
ically, and then with professional
admiration at the bandages, and
questioned Lillian at some length as
to the solutions she had used In

jombing from the tir and mines. The
parallel between the submarine ana
the marine in toe seems closest par
ticularly since the mine is now and
has for many yonrs been recognized
by all nations aa a legitimate instru
ment of war. Figures gathered by
the British during the war show that
the losses to British merchant ship
ping through mines amounted to C -
R77.O00 tens compared with 6.73?.-
000 tons sunk by submarines.
The argument has beeen advanced
that despite the fact that the best
inventive egnius of several nations
worked on the problem of devising
means to wipe the submarine out of
existence, the sub-surface craft re
trains the only long-radius vessel
that, alone and unsupported, can go
nearly anywhere and. entirely dis

fensive qualities make it a naval
weapon of the utmost usefulness evtn

Neglect la Danger
At the worst naval strategists
polat out, it is never a. liability that
must be protected and defended, it
is admitted among naval men that
the big ship still rules the seas. How
long this will be true Is the question
now taxing the best naval brain of

holds blindly to one lLie of naval de

great ultimate danger.

WHY YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE
The Happy Farmer Tractor
Two vitally important points should !e kept in mind in selecting a tractor:
1. It should Hum Kerosene with complete cotnlution, and without the necessity of
Using a water feed. "
2. It should handle easily under all circumstances, and Ik? al.Ie to turn short in its
,racks- , mtitd
lioth theso important features are combined exclusively in the La Crosse HAPPY
FA KM EH Tractor.
There's a reason for everv oint of difference in
the HAPPY FA KM Ell design. Earlier tractor mis
takes have served a guide posts to our engineers, and
they have loen enahled to take the safer and better
road to success in practical, efficient tractor building.
The HAPPY FARMER is isitively self guiding
in the furrow, leaving the operator free to devote his
attention to his implements or machines. I5y pressing
his foot on a brake pedal the driver can pivot th
tractor on either drive wheel, turning it short in its
tracks, right or left. It will do any kind of work
a In u t the farm, including all IhH work, and do it let
ter than horses, and at a considerable saving in lalwr
and upkeep.
