Cartoons Magazine for September.
The present crisis between the Uni
ted States and Germany is reflected In
cartoons from, many quarters of the
world. Some of the best of these are
reproduced in the September Cartoons
Magasine. A French artist, for in
stance, pictures Uncle Sam wielding
a huge club, labeled "Right" Ger
many, in the garb of a bespectacled
woman, wearing a helmet, looks bel
ligerently at him from a chair. Uncle
Sam, with a threatening gesture, re
minds her that "perhaps she can read
this better than if it were a "scrap of
paper.""
An Australian cartoonist has the
kaiser plucking, one by one, the tall
feathers from the American eagle.
The feathers are marked respectively,
"Lusitania," "Gulflight," "William P.
Frye," etc., while the kaiser is repre
sented as saying, "She loves me
loves me not"
London Punch shows President Wil
son aa Noah.' A dove of peace has
returned to the ark to report "Noth
ing doing." "Say, Boss," the . Ameri
can eagle speaks up, "why not try
me?""'-
Even more interesting than the car
toons on political subjects are the
samples of Japanese art, picturing the
lighter side of war. The efforts of
these oriental Nasts are quite amus
ing, even if a trifle elementary.
Submersible Oil Tanks for Supplying
Submarines.
The ability of lue German submar
ines to keep at sea for indefinite per
iods when hundreds of miles from any
German naval base has been one of
the surprises of the war. It is now
suggested that the Germans may have
established secret submarine bases
consisting of submersible oil tanks at
unfrequented points along the Nor
wegian coast and among the islands
at the west and north of Scotland, and
that the enormous supplies of oil re
quired for the operation of these ves
sels is obtained from this source. This
could be accomplished by meanB of a
submersible tank that had already
been invented for commercial pur
poses before the war began. This tank
is cylindrical, is 150 ft. long and 30 ft.
in diameter, and has an oil capacity
of 2,280 tons. It is divided into four
or more compartments which can be
used for various grades of oil and can
be emptied separately or together.
Each end of the tank is divided verti
cally into two compartments, the up
per compartment being utilized as a
pump house and the lower as a ballast
or trimming tank. With these trim
ming tanks, which can be filled with
sea water or emptied by means of
electric pumps, the cylinder can be
floated or submerged, or can be made
to float at ap angle with the pump
house at one end above water. An
electrical oil pump forms part of the
equipment. When a submarine or
other vessel is to replenish its bunk
ers it comes alongside, couples its
electric cables to the, pumps in the
valve house and pumps ont the re
quired supply of oil, after which the
tank is sunk to the depth required for
concealment. A picture of one of
these supply tanks in use appears in
the September Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
