A single broadside from the droailnaught Arizona means the income of . the average workman foi twenty-five j years. That's the way our money will be | shot away in ease of war with Ger- j many. ( A 4-inch shell weighs 1,000 ] pounds, cost $700. . A 12-inch shell, already considered one of our "smaller" shots, costs $600. The Arizona has 12 14-inch guns. ' all of which, together with some of her smaller cannon, can be fired at once, at a cost of $1,000. Ten 14-inch shells yr one torpedo ' are counted on to sink a battleship. ' The cost is the same for aramuni- ' tion?$7,000. * But the torpedo is the cheaper way ' because of the lessened expense of ' firing; also the lesser risk. A torpedo is roallv an electric v launch; it leaves the torpeflo-tubc 1 with the propellers working, and it 1 will keep on going till the motor runs * down?unless it hits its mark. When it hits?bang!
