KEEPING OFF TORPEDOES
PROTECTION FOR SHIPPING. LONDON, December 3. Sir Eustace Tennyson-D’Eyncourt. designer of the battleship Hood, interviewed regarding a suggestion that his bulge invention for protecting warships against torpedoes should be applied to merchant vessels, said: “Shipowners could not stand the expense, but the Government might subsidise the construction of a special fleet of wheat vessels—which, thus protected, would ensure food in war time —as a measure of national defence. Something should certainly be done. Fewer vessels would be required than most people imagine.”
