WSH. iSIS WMuSW 1 aLi!iBll SCIENCE GREAT KEYNOTE OF MODERN NAVIES Continued frem Tase Ona It ever so 'forcibly brought homo to mo that modern war Is indeed a science. Tho report of every battle practice Is carefully tabulated nnd sent to a division of a bureau In Washington, whero It Is charted, analyzed and studied by experts ro dttcod, Indeed, to mathematical curves. Unlike soma other services, every officer In ours Is supposed to bo Interested In gunnery; every year hundreds of sugges tions nro coming Into tho bureau to bo weighed and discussed, and tho best of them uro adopted for trial at the next battle practice of tho fleet. The smudges of smoko wcro ten miles away, say In the neighborhood of 18,000 jnrds. And when I remember the custom of tho old fighting ships of edging up to ono another until they were little more than half a mllo npart nnd lotting go n broadside, I laughed. It did not seem possible, from whero we wcro, to hit the smudge beyond tho horizon; nnd yet Just such a smudgo as this a German smudge Mew up the Invincible In the battle of Jutland. The ranges In that battle -wero from 6000 to 16,000 ynrds, nnd before that time, I am told, It was tho custom In both thoso services not lo hne target practice nt n greater distance than 10,000 yards, which, after nil, is some six miles, nnd hull down over the horizon from the deck of n destroyer. Consequently, In the battle of Jutland the perccntngo of hits was very small Indeed, being ono hit for each ship every two hours. This must not be accepted ns the best these services can do at present, since more has been learned from Jutland than from tiny other sea battle fought In recent years. A modern sea battle, or oven modern battle practice, Is a marvelous thing, stirring to tho Imagination, almost Incredible to one who has not seen It. Not many years ago, when six miles whs supposed to be the battle distance, It was wonderful enough. In thoso days tho great shots were supposed to strike tho heavy armor of a battleship almost horizontally and pierce It. It was the old content between armor tind projcctllo. But today tho problem has changed again. At n rnngo of ten miles, with tho muzzle of the gun raised at nn anglo of fifteen degrees, n fourteen-lnch shot, weighing 1400 pounds, rises n. mllo In the air. to fall, with r crashing blow no nrmor enn withstand, on a deck or n turret ton. Ono such shot, striking the Invincible, torn off ono half of her huge steel turret nnd flung it Into the sen, while the other half crashed on tho quarter deck behind. The first thing that strikes ou ns you worm your un Into n heavy stocl turret of a modern drendnought like the Pennsylvania Is thnt it Is nn oxtraordlirin plaro In which to fight. There srcmi scarcely room enough to turn nround. Every move ment counts. ecry innn must bo trained to tho highest ilfgreo of efllciencvi- he mint never get in nnother man's waj. Within a few feet, In n row confronting jou seomlngly as big as sequoia trunks nro tho shining breeches of the great guns whoso bushiest it Is lo sink the enemy's ships beneath the distant smoke smudge In battle he Is trying to sink you. Hut now even the smudge Is absent; a canvas tnrget. tho size of a dreadnought, and scarcely discernible to tho nuked eje, is being towed nlong tho horizon. I'rom tho immaculato magazines uulow by swift electric hoists eomo thoso monster shells, each weighing 1400 pounds; by a twist of tho hand the great hreerhoi are opened, mechanical devices mm the projectile home, tho powder charges nro thrust In. tho breeches closed. The telescopic range-finder has supplied the initial range, tho speed of the ship and that of the target lias been adjusted on the dcllcnto sights, tho proper allownnco for wind nnd for whnt is called tho dispersion has been made, nils "dispersion" is duo to tho disturbance a projectile makes in trn cling through the air. which has Its effect on nnother shot traveling parallel to It toward the samo destination. For this reason the thrco guns sldo by sldo ln tho Ienns Ivanla's turrets may not bo fired together, tho middle ono firing n moment nftcr the other two For ten minutes the superdreadnought steams along a line, nnd In that time Inci edible ns it may jeem she has sent soven to eight broad sides or sahos nt the distant mark. A salvo In less than two minutes! Thus for the whole fleet. When tho practice Is over, tho champion of tho fleet Is given the proud privilege of wearing on her side n letter n for excellent. I should llko to sot down l.ero how many shots she has put Into tho tnrget, but I may not; what sho would havo dono had it been a battleship Instead of a canvas effigy Perhaps. f,omc day, the Oermnns mny find out for themselves! Tho modern mon-of-wnr Is organized for battle. Everything else Is hubservlcnt to that. And undoubtedly tho most lmportnnt man on board her. next to tho raptnln, Is her gunnery ofllcer; fire-control officer, he is cnlled In battle. In tho old days, ln tho old frigates, the first lieutenant walked up und down the deck with a brass trumpet In his hand; the smoke of the broadside rolled ln through tho ports, tho shot was rammed down the throats of tho old bottle-shaped guns, they wcro run out ngnln, anil at a command from tho brass trumpet nit tho lock-strings were pulled. Wo used to try to fire at tho top of the roll, ln that Instant when tho ship was com parnttoly still at best n haphazard performance rcqulring'moro or less skill on tho part of the man at the sight. Today, science and long practice hao replnced skill I shall not deal here with that method, originated by Sir Percy Scott, of tho British Navy, introduced in ours by Vlco Admiral Sims, lmproed upon by him nnd by many others, which has revolutionized and "sclentlzed" target practice. Today, under tho captain, the gunnery officer mnnages tho ship instead of the first lleutennnt And instead of walking up and down the deck, he Is shut up in n tlnv steel conning tower or lire-control turret, nnd his trumpet is an electric buzzer. He has nt his right hand, n marvelous electric dovice to tell him when nil the guns nro on tho target of tho enemy's ship; as a matter of fact, under the new system they are supposed to bo "on" throughout what Is called the firing Interval, In spite of tho tossing of tho hlp tho pitch and yaw. And when that fire-control ofllcer presses his buzzer some thing llko eight tons of steel are sent on their wn. a mllo above sea level, towards tho enemy's fleet- Sometimes, by pressing a key, he fires all tho guns himself During this war we have been thrilled by accounts of the new nnd scientific and fighting, of huge guns firing at objects and killing men they may not see across hills nnd forests. At tho front, from observation posts on hills, from towers and trees Ueen-eyed ofllcers with glasses "spot" the shots nnd telephone back tho langes So It Is in the great navies of tho world.

Address A 811, UAer 0 YOU KNOW ATLANTIC CITY That Wonderful Small City By the Sea Where Only 58,000 People Live, Yet They Entertain During a Year Over 15,000,000 Guests! Well, it is Atlantic City which furnishes the setting for a big enterprise, which we are putting through in spite of the fact that our country is engaged in war. "We planned this enterprise before war was declared and have continued to develop it since, despite the hysteria that stopped many lines of business from going ahead with that confidence and enthusiasm which is required of all business if we are to place our country in the position to meet promptly the demands of war. While we have consistently followed a forward-going business course, we stopped long enough to do our share in making the Liberty Bond Loan a success and to heed the call for funds to sustain the American Red Cross in its magnificent and unselfish work ; and we will stop again long enough to help the next Liberty Bond Loan to a quick success and to do all else asked of us in service to our country. FOR TWENTY-FIVE YEARS Atlantic City has had.many more people knock at the doors of its hotels and boarding houses asking to be housed and fed than it could possibly entertain. You know that this small city by the sea, endowed by nature more abundantly than anv other resort in the world, IS AN EVER-INCREASING ATTRAC TION TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. Its Boardwalk is the greatest ocean highway in the world ! Easter Sunday on Fifth avenue, New York, is the oiriy parallel demonstration of a crowd that con stantly surges ,up and down this great highway. Further development of the Boardwalk front at Atlantic City has been retarded in recent years because property was held in small pieces by a great many people. Not enough of it could be secured for the build ing of more big hotels on the ocean front for which there is great demand thousands of people being turned away yearly by owners of the present fine hotels on the Boardwalk. Then again property was held at a very high figure each owner placing his own valuation on it. As an illustration, an offer of nearly $12,000 a front foot was recently refused ! Some time ago a syndicate of able financiers inves tigated property on the ocean front and discovered a fine site, extending several blocks, which is located right in tho heart of Atlantic City. The site is known as "The Bowery," with which most of you are familiar. You have wondered no doubt why this magnificent frontage was never converted into a beautiful ocean plaza. The difficulty that stood in the way of purchase of this site was that it was owned by 72 different people, controlling 96 different pieces, and no two of them, let alone all of the 72, could ever be induced to agree upon a price until the Syndicate checkmated them by sending out enough salesmen in one day to see them all and get their signatures to an agreement to sell before they had a chance to consult with one another! The Syndicate bought the property for the sum of $6,000,000. We were consulted very soon after the property was acquired about forming an Operating Company to lease and manage three big hotels to be built of rein forced concrete by the Atlantic-Manhattan Construc tion Company. All of us have known for many years that Atlantic City offered exceptional advantages for more hotels on the Boardwalk notwithstanding the many fine and prosperous hotels already there but apparently there was no site to be had until the Syndicate acquired the several pieces of property mentioned. Knowing that there exists a very great need for more hotels on the ocean front and feeling absolutely certain of our ability to successfully direct three big hotels, we quickly organized, under the Laws of the State of New Jersey, an Operating Company capitalized at Ten Million Dollars Five Million Dollars in 7 preferred stock and Five Million Dollars in common stock, both of par value One Hundred Dollars. We ourselves immediately subscribed for stock to the amount of $1,300,000. That would be a very shaky enterprise indeed which sought the confidence and money of others if those fathering it did not back it with their own confidence and money would it not? Preferred stock to the amount of $3,700,000 is now offered to the public, and to every purchaser of our 7 preferred stock will be given a 50 bonus in common stock that is to say, a purchaser of $1,000 of pre- stJck rCCiVe n ift f ?50 of common ' You maybe curious as to why $5,000,000 $3,700,- 000 more than we ourselves have invested 'is -treT , quired to properly finance tho Operating Company. . It requires a very large sum of money, b completely equip one modern hotel, let alone three big hotels such as are to bo built on this magnificent ocean frontage at Atlantic City. These three big hotels are lo be called: The Atlantic-Biltmore. The Atlantic-Pacific. The Atlantic-Commodore. Thoy will have, in combination, 3,000 bedrooms! . , Begin now to do a little figuring on your own lac count. Consider the cost of furnishing one bedroom in the style that is demanded in these days by patrons -of a first-class hotel. Then multiply that cost by 8,000 ! Consider the cost of outfitting 3,000 bathrooms! Then consider the cost of furnishings on the first floor of each hotel, remembering that they must be the very best as well as the most inviting. Then think of the rugs, draperies, silverware, cut glass, china and dishes and the thousands of other things. Then think of the cost of the kitchen outfits, which must be the last word in equipment. Why, a few million dollars are quickly absorbed even when the purchasing is wisely and economically done. The business of outfitting hotels scientifically has been a study with us for many years, and we think we know what is required. We ought to be" able to know where and how to buy to advantage.- We have a very clear idea of the cost of outfitting such hotels as will be built for us, for they are to be as fine hotels in all respects as human ingenuity can make them, and that means that the equipment must correspond. You will pardon us for claiming, to understand the public's taste as to the kind of hotels wanted on At lantic City's ocean front. This knowledge has been acquired by us out of a long experience in studying and serving the public. It is not immodest to state that we are successful in hotel operations and that there is reasonable ground for belief that we will make the Atlantic-Biltmore, the Atlantic-Pacific and the Atlantic-Commodore successful. We are in possession of a 21-year lease with privilege, of renewal. . .-...,- It is conservative to state that the value of the lease is equal to the capitalization of the Operating Com pany. - ' . It 'is conservative to state also that the operation off these three wonderful hotels will yield to the stock holders a satisfactory return on a capitalization of $10,000,000. This forecast is based not on hope, but on what is' notu happening to the ownerships of the fine ocean front hotels at Atlantic City. They are very profitable because of their location and because of the demand for accommodations. They can entertain at most 12,000 people a day and they turn away thousands of people during a year. There is great opportunity therefore for three hotels with accommodations for 6,000 people. You see that, do you not? The average annual gross return per room should be, based on present ocean-front hotel statistics, five times greater than what we have agreed to pay as annual rental per room. The average return per room in every successful hotel in the country represents about five times the . rental charge, and this means earning practically as much net profit .annually as is represented ' by the ' annual rental charge. - your Further details of our plans are printed in two little uuuiucis, oom oi winch will be fonvarded to address upon request. One is an exceedingly frank and rather intimate prospectus and the other contains the' form, of agree ment that we mutually sign when you become a stock holder. Our own reputations prevent any misstatements or the making of extravagant promises. We want you to join us in our enterprise, but don't SSA'SftfiiS" you hovc mm in- .
