Kvcry great war linH ravQlutionfaed the incllioils of mnkfng wnr. TIjib world war is to be n exccplion. Our mili- (nry mid imvnl experts, o wlinm wo Iihvo fi lnro number nlimml studying the art oC orgnniccd murder, nre rc porling interestingly on the tceli nifpio. For Instance, the question urines, linn not the day of nrmor plftto jjone by! IYik pun, lonr ranalce, sa'perior upccd tiiese have been the deriding faelorrt in success ful naval nctioiiM in the war thus far. The new buttle oniivr ns the navy unit is Iho bij tbinp developed by the present war. The North sea battle Was Hpparcntly won with the hljy puns nutl tho thirty-knot sliced of the British battle cntiscr Tipcr. Nil DrcndnniiRlits In Itatlle With the possible exception of the Unrdnnello action, wit n sinjjlc fir-t lino Drcndnnught typebattlexhip has been enframed in any naval oporationx during the war. The battle off the west Const of South America, when the Good IIopo and the Monmouth were mink, nud the ono off the cnt const near the Falkland inlands, when Admiral Sturdcc sank the Ocnuau fleet, nud tho one in tho North sea, when tho llritish pursued tho raiding squadron of German cruisers in all thexo cases vessels of other than the drcadnnught ty?, prineipnlly fast cruisers with lifilit nrmor nud heavy guns, were tho participants. TJerninny lias never sent one of the drendnnujdit tyjw battleships from behind the mines of Helgoland, and Euglund has been carefully conceabnjf and pro tecting her droadnnttflht fleet. Tho brdnt of nil operations has been borne by tho lifcht cruise?, the battle cruiser and the submarine. targe OttUbcml Gtuut In all actions, not c.xceptiiijj tha Dardanelles, military experts lmve been Impressed by the importance o? the larger cnlibercd pun. The 15 incfi Runs on tho Queen Elizabeth tit the Dardanelles have been shooting Across the Gallipoli peninsular into the back door of the Turkish fortifi- t rat innu TI.A Iwimltn rlitnttt 4lti Dardanelles is altogether from such I a distance that there bavo been very few casualties on the allied fleet, which, incidentally, again has demou nt rated the uselessness of fixed laud fortifications with guns which can bo outranged by the enemy; this lesson having- been ulso learned at Liege, Namur, Antwerp and Jleubengc. Apimrcntly no nrmor that can be carried on n ship of war is ndequate to resist tho modern missile from the high power of hirge caliber, whether the latter is a solid penetrating shell or tho .high explosive shell. Our mili tary theorists hnvc held to the nr-mor-piercing fdiell, but news from the experts abroad fellows that the ex plosive shell is being used in both ihe llritish and German navies, apparent ly with good effect, as it wus by Ja pan during tho engagement with the ItiiBsinn fleet during the nusso-Jnp-nnese war. Armored fillip Doomed The question now arises whether the wnrship of the future will not go the wuy of the armored knight of the past. Tliu invention of punpowd , and the greater penetrating power of tho bullet did nwny finally with the cuirass uud breastplate, and the fight began to take place at long range, tho outcome being dependent largely on rnuge uud tactics. In this kind of fighting, superior mobility, which cor responds to tho s)ced of tho battle ship jbcerime the important factor. Tho battleship of the future may he a voscl with little or no armor, but with tremendous fpeed, Jong cruising radius, and, chiefly, very high power, loug-rnnge guns of large caliber; or Missilily only ono or two guns of tre mendous power. The number U not important if the gun can outrange the enemy and score u hit. One shot proporly placed would be sufficient to do the business, Submarines for Pefenso All thin applies to control of the high sens; tho waters away from the coast. As to coast defences, the sub marines have demonstrated beyond question their superiority, Tho main ititerebt in the submarine- low lies in its speed uud its cruising radius. If u'acagoing typo can bo developed, us seme reports indicate ono is being de veloped now by tho HritiMi, which will lia;o a speed of thirty knots an hour, the great defect of tho submarine would be overcome. At present the submarine is tremendously effective, but is a)ra tumteudously hnudicapHd by tho fact that it bus u speed of Hly ten or twelve kuots an hour, wtartws any merchantman or battle- Mktp can walk away from it or dodge it with its superior speed. ."Adir V Gl&UDE KITCHm ItcpreMMitntivo Claude Kitcliiti of North Carolina, who will succeed O car Underwood, scuutor-eleot, as democratic floor leader when con gress convenes again. OK KNOWS WHETHER WILSON WILL BE CANDIDATE (By Gilson Gardner.) WASHINGTON, March ill. No human being knows whether Presi dent WiNon will run again for presi dent, or retire to private life at the end of bis term. A lot of democrats would like to know. Efforts to smoke him out have thus fur failed. The present plan is to boom (Jlui,np Clark and sec whether the result will force any communication from tho white house. Previously William F. MeCombs, chairman of the national democratic committee, tried unsuc cessfully to find what the president proM)scd to do. He came to Wash ington and had n talk nt which Mr. Wilson filled his favorite role of plcusnnt listener. MeCombs went nwny without nny assurances ouo way or the other. He announced to the press, however, tbn1 there would be a "harmony dinner," nt which prominent democrats of all factions would meet uud that the pur pose and result of this dinner would be the beginning of Woodrow Wil son's boom for a second tim. Wilnn ItcputUntcs Idea Thereupon Woodrow Wilson an nounced to fifty-six newspaper corre spondents thnt the dinner was Mr. McComb's own ucrsonnl idea and that he knew nothing ubout it except what Mr. MeCombs bad suggested. He, himself, had not indorsed it nor au thorized nny announcement in regard to Tins wet blanket was all that was required by Mr. MeCombs; hn went to the rear and took a scut. Borne political significance may be discovered in tue revived agitation lor a presidential primnry law. It is fairlv safe, of course, to begin agi tating after congress adjourns for n period or nine months. Considerable agitation has commenced and no less thnn United States Senator Atlee Pomereno of Ohio, democrat' nnd constitutionalist, has been in confer ence with W. Wilson, the announced purpose of the conference being to consider and draft u proposed na tional presidential primnry law for passage by tho sixty-fourth congress National Ilefercndiim Should such un act be passed nud a ntaionnl referendum be taken nmong democrats on the Mibjicl of tho next nominee, Woodrow Wilson would unquestionably wiu. Thin us Mimes political sentiment to be us nt present, and does not take in'o ac count scores of political illegibilities incident to foreign nnd domestic com plications. The president's only serious com petitor would bo Champ Clark, al though 0cnr Underwood might de velop a following nmong tho "nifo and sauc" business dcniociuts. Hut a president has a largo lead in pres tige, advertisement, pntronngo and power.

Wild Bill" axwells M Remember, every 1915 Maxwell is an exact duplicate of the regular stock Maxwell Touring Cars in which "Wild Bill" Turner broke the world's record up Mt. Hamilton? 21 ft miles in 48 minutes, beating the vorld's record by 16&- minutes, and "Billy" Carlson broke the world's record up Mi. Wilson, California, making nino miles (up an elevation of 6,000 feet) in 29 minutes and 1 second, beating tho pre vibus world's record by 13 minutes. That'3 the kind of hill-climber you get when you get a Maxwell. Nov about speed and endurance here are some recent Maxwell Rac ing Car recerds: Barney Oldfield in a Maxwell Rao ing Car broke the world's non-3tcp record at Corona, Cc'ifornin, for 300 miles, averaging C6.3 miles par hour. Think of it not a stop made! i hen, right on top or this marvpl- Carlcon in his Maxwell Racer and mado olill another 300 mileo non-stop record in the San Diego race. Again a Maxwell Pacer ran 300 milco with out a atop! These Maxwell Racing Cars are built by the same Designers, the same Chief Engineer, that build the regular Max'tvcii Cam; and the same Max weil Laboratory Tested Steel is used in them that is uced in tho regular atock Maxwell Touring Cars. ou3 motor record, along came "Eilly" But, aside from hil!-climbing '&vA speed? powef.' and endurance records, here are some of the facts about Maxwell coi?g?, Maxwell special features, Maxwell beauty' and Maxwell service.
