RECLAIM MANY SUNKEN SHIPS
Hundreds of Vessels in British Waters
Have Been Salvaged-Possibility
of Raising the Lusitania.
Most welcome is the announcement
from London that since January, 1915,
407 ships sunk by the Germans in
British waters have been salvaged;
147 of them, by Improved piethods, in
five nonthst of the present year.
Britain's coast, like our own, is
edged by a broad belt of shallow wa
ter. For 200 miles of the channel's
length no spot reaches a depth of 100
fathoms; much of it is quite shallow,
which accounts for the chop that makes
so many who cross it briefly unhappy.
From our own Norfolk one gets well
out of sight of land before reaching
water too deep for salvago operations.
Depth lerIn ases more rapidly off the
Irish coast, but even the Lusitania
lies near ie 50-fat homn line, below the
shatter of the storm, yet near enough
the surfne so that many practical
wreckers live sai(d thatt it would be
possible, though exceedingly dillicul t,
to bring her forth to a nautical resur
rection.
That some things can he done as
well as others our engineers showed
when they raised the U-boats' biggest
victim along our coast, the 1Herbert
Pratt, and brought her safe to shore.
What the "Improved methods" used of'
England may be we shall probably not
know until after the war. That they
are cheating the murderous subna
rines of their prey in so many cases is
good news.

WORK AND PLAY.
It seemus that the tendency every
where is to get away froin the old plan
of long, wearisomie working hours.
Where such consideration was not
given workers in peace times war step
Ied in and gave thein the benefit of Its
great influence. Dr. Woods Ilutchin
son once said in a lecture that tite busi
nets man of the future will not spend
half the time at his desk that is spent
there by the business man11t1 of today.
He showed that the biggest mnen of the
country are those who usually play as
hard as they work, and who devote
rnuch time to recreation. lie contend

be given exercise to create the energy
that develops brain power. The saine
theory is applied by thinking business

Knoxville Journal and Tribune. It

will be the man who both tolls a1d

maintain nuaxinum energy of body and
greater contenturent.
Agriculture in America is another
way of saying opportunity. The Uni
ted States has still 40 per cent of Its
farm land waiting to lie improved and
thousands of acres of dry or cut-over
land are still to be converted into
farms. There are 9 1-3 acres of culti
vated land for every American tiller
of soil, but three acres for the farmner
in Europe. In this country there is
