Recently, 700 sovereign were found among the debris of a berabed -house in London.

In the same way, the sub- marine conjured up visions, not of ware, but of submarine exploration and adventure.

It is too -Soon yet-to,say whether the Eagle boat e which is building as sub- marine -chasers will prove efficient, for so far none of the boats is afloat. However, as they are not being built from Henry's own plans, and are in no respect founded upon the famous Oscar ship which he sent to Europe for the purpose of "gettingtthe boys out of the trenehes by C.nristmes," but, on the others hand, 'Kaye been' designed by United States naval authorities, there is event reason that they Will do 'What they are in- tended .td do. In this case Henry Ford is now engaged upon the most important and useful work of his life. His land ffivvers will be forgot- ten when his iliviera of the sea per- petuate his raemery, and posterity may forget his pacifist 'ravings and recall his solid achievements in help- ing the Allies to win the war. Qtte would suppose that details re- garding the new ships would be sup- pressed by the censor, but since Frank Parker Stockbridlte is permit - HENRY FORD. ted to tell the readers of The New _York Timeepabout the chasers, there. is no good reason. why the particu- lars should not- be circulated in Canada. The Eagle boat ts a tor- pedo-boat destroyer withotit torpedo tubes. It has fess engine power, and consequently less speed than the de- stroyers,, but it is fast enough to run - down any submarine, is much cheaper and can be built in a frac- tion of the time. Itrhe Eagle boat is a development of the "chaser," a craft that was not thought of before the war began. The original chaser was evolved in England early in the War, its bisiness being to- make the waters near the British Isles un- healthy for the U-boat. All kinds of craft were pressed into service in those days, pleasure yachts and motor boats were . equipped with guns, and, having superior speed to the 'underwater craft, did -much (teenage. The original chasers were usually manned by volunteers, for at that time the bunting of the sub- marines was regarded as a sport, a sort of deep sea Milling rather then a most deadly and urgent business. .Gradually. a special type was evolved, a 85400t boat with a com- paratively small Cruising radius, good speed, with guns heavy enough, to sent any submarine, and this British chaser has probably' to ite credit more sunk submarines than any other craft that floats.

The Eagles, therefore, are longer than the older'type, and correspondingly fast- er and more powerful. The plans for the American chasers were prepared at Washington, :and Secretary Dan- iels asked Mr. Ferd if he -could turn them out and the motor man said that he could. A contract for 200 of the craft was thereupon signed, and Ford agreed to fill- it in a year. If he could have made the Eagle boats In the same eland as he makes his automobiles the task woulitt not have been a trentendous one; but he had to erect a new plant, buy of in- vent new machinery, employ new hands and generally launch upon an enterprise as strange to him as would be the manufacture of hair nett: Or gas fixtures. .However; Ford and the Ford organization proved equal to the teak and in a few days a dozen of the Eagles Will be afloat.
