Navy Submarine Arm Is Weak, Says Denby (Continued From Pat One.) hour. These vessels were built as jtt experiment, being the larcest ever undertaken by this government. They are not considered a success for their designed purpose of ac companying the battle fleet because of the unreliability of their engines, and their small torpedo armament Latest Word In Subs. : "The. three- submarines of the V class now under construction are the latest word in Diesal engine driven fleet submarine. These submarines Svere designed by the government and are being built at the navy yard, Portsmouth, N. H." ! Mr. Denby, after careful considera tion, has reached the conclusion that the submarine is a weapon deserving serious consideration and develop- -jg nient. y Ja .:bi all of the sea operations of the -iijftreil - and persistent 'attacking "lOrCC OI IMC CIIL-mjr, aajra nil. svi.ii.- tary. ,' "Not until met by the su perior handling of convoys, fre' su perb seamanship and the puzzling iigzag of the United States navy 'nianned ships and the effective de ' stroyer defense, did it cease to be a ;tncnace. " . . ; Effectiveness Proven. ; "The stealthy undersea craft, able to attack both on the surface and submerged, proved its treacherous effectiveness as a Weapon of war at sea. It had to be reckoned with be for the days prior to our entry into the war when the United States navy's gun crews first showed their telling marksmanship from the decks of merchant vessels. In later days splendid maneuvering and vigilant outlook made its work more danger ous, while finally no greater defen sive method proved more successful than the mine barrage.1 "Still in the face of this, the sub marine, now in the cool and calcu lating study of sea attacks, takes its place as a definite weapon of the '"'sea force, one to be considered in any plan for 'national defense. In the lessons that have come from the war much has been learned of un v dersea ships, that now calls for ex ' perimental and ' development pur poses in the future building of this type of navy craft for the United States." ; . , , Tending Facilities Necessary. As submarines are not self-sustaining, it is necessary to provide tending facilities for them, such as a place ' for the personnel to live, eat and sleep when not at sea cruis ing, a place to replenish supplies and to effect repairs. ' J- "All nations, at the present time," says Mr. Denby, "have assigned large mother ships to do this work, or have provided bases on shore, to the piers of which submarines can secure and obtain rest from the fatigue of a lone cruise at sea. The United States navy has at the pres ent time eight submarine tenders in commission, three of which are ' of little value as such, due to their small size. Submarine bases at New Lon- don, Conn.; Hampton Roads, Va.; Coco Zolo, San Pedro, Cal., and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Other bases contemplated would be situated at Odc May. Va.: Key West, ia.: Astoria, Ore.; Guam and Cavite. At the present time, the later subma rines are operating with a far degree of efficiency. Criticism Unjust "Much criticism has been directed at the United States submarine service, which is in a measure un just In time past, great difficulty was had with the material features of the submarines, especially surface .motive power. The development of H Diesel engine has been very slow in the United States, due to the fact, probably, that the demand for such a type of engine has not been great A great progress in design and de velopment of this engine was of coure made by Great Britain and ' continental countries during the war. United States engineers tave profited tv this and surface motive units are crag manufactured, which giv promise of satisfactory results. The two firms in the United States which have built submarines for the gov- eminent are the Electric Boat com pany and the Lake Boat Torpedo company. Basic patents covering cer :' tain features of submarine construc tion are herd by both cornjnies." Gus Hyers Locates Arsenal it m raw mj n if i l ?L ml ' - '- ' A Tk II Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 24.

"Farmers and stockmen of ths iiKsi are lirinff ruined bv low nriccs. high freight rates, high interest rates and high priced machinery, clothing and other things, but, we, the bankers, cannot back down on interest as it would spell ruin," Pet niesil wrote. "Cannot our senators and con gressmen see, and cannot Governor Harding see, that there is something out of joint as regards distribution of money in the United States? "There are oceans ot money in tne east, being loaned at S, 6 and 7 per cent, but here it costs lis that much, n liow can we loan it for 7 or 8 per cent and survive?".

H, Osborne, state tax commissioner, hopes to as certain whether private profit is de rived from any organization or per son owning such an institution. Directors will be cited to appeal before the state board of equaliza tion and show a reason why the In stitution should not be taxed in com plianre with Senate File 65, the new taxation law.' which calls for taxing such institutions unless they are ab solutely charitable in their nature. "Considerable abuse has been made of the privilege heretofore exempt ing certain educational and hospital institutions upon the theory that 4hey were conducted for charitable and educational purposes," Osborne said today. ' "It is pretty generally conceuca by those who have been placed in a position to administer the tax laws ol the state, that from the standpoint of administration, the exemptions are a nuisance and should be re duced so that they are not extended to any individual or organization ex cept such as are clearly doing the public a service and without thought of any reward."

In or der to obtain the rights and advan lanes, he contended, the United States would have to take part in the reparations proceedings and would have to stand ready to do its "bit" in enforcing the terma of the treaty. He insisted that the treaty, in ef fect, meant "entangling alliances" for the United States and predicted the United States would be com pelled to keep its troops on the Khine for years or abandon its claims against Germany.
