GERMAN SHIP IS NEW TERROR OF WORLDNAVIES ‘Baby’ Battle Craft Packs Maximum of Death in Minimum of Space. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Foreign Editor. Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—1s the United States navy, our first line of defense and safeguard against invasion in time ot war, about to be converted into so much junk by the invention of a brand new and more efficient type of vessel? Similarly, are all the other existing navies of the world—including that of Great Britain, with which we demand parity, ton for ton—on the eve of being relegated to the limbo of the obsolete or the not-so-good? Is the treaty of Washington framed to limit the naval armaments of the United States, Britain, Japan, France and Italy, to be turned into a scrap of paper by recent marine developments in a sixth country, entirely outside the jurisdiction of that treaty? These questions are being asked uneasily, not alone in Washington, but in London, Tokio, Paris and Rome, following revelations from Berlin concerning a secret ship which German scientists have evolved and which conservative naval experts pronounce the most remarkable fighting craft ever laid down. Forbidden by the treaty of Versailles to have a regular navy, through being limited to craft not exceeding 10,000 tons displacement, Germany has been seeking quietly for years to evolve a baby battleship which would be a match for the big fellows. Necessity being the mother of invention, she seems to have found what she was looking for. It is called the Ersatz Preussen—Prussia’s substitute for a dreadnaught—or the beginning of a “synthetic” German navy. And while it may not answer to a technician’s definition of a proper navy, in practice it may be able to lick the stuffing out of the real thing, if and when the test comes—which is all that any German could require or any other nation fear. The Ersatz Preussen displaces 10,000 tons. Her hull is in one piece, electrically welded from stem to stem. It is made of a special ste*i secretly developed by the Krupps, and is similarly armored. She mounts six eleven-inch guns with a 30,000-yard range and can fire a salvo every twenty seconds, making her more than a match for any three 10,000-ton cruisers in the British or American navy. Eightinch guns are the biggest our cruisers may mount. Powered with internal combustion Diesel engines of anew pattern, sne can do approximately thirty miles an hour. Up to now engineers have figured motors of this kind would have to weigh upward of sixty pounds a horsepower, but the Ersatz Preussen’s are said to develop one horsepower for every seventeen and a half pounds weight. And so economical are they in fuel consumption that at twenty knots an hour the mystery ship could do 10,000 miles without refueling, or nearly 20,000 miles at a slower and more economical speed, making her the earth’s most danjgurous potential commerce raider. Germany has built this ship regardle sos expense. She represents the hitherto unthinkable in warships. She is to fighting craft what the German Big Bertha that fired seventy-five miles on Paris was to artillery. Experts said it couldn't be done, yet it was done. What is to keep Germany—or England or Japan or any other country with the price—from building a navy composed of ships developed from these and obtaining complete mastery of the seas? It also is obvious that ships built now. without taking the Ersatz Preussen into consideration, likely would be obsolete before they were laid down.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

OPPOSE SHIFT IN ROUTING OF TROLLEY CARS Company Official Declares City Engineer’s Plan Impractical. James P. Tretton, Indianapolis Street Railway Company superintendent, today declared the proposal of City Engineer A. H. Moore to reroute street cars “impractical.” Moore suggested the establishment of through routes and elimination of the present downtown loops. The enlarging of the downtown area served by the new plan would tend to develop a district off Washington street, realtors say. “We are willing to co-operate if someone can find a better plan than the present one. The city engineer’s proposal will cause congestion, bring about impractical operation methods and cause thousands of dollars loss in revenue,” Tretton said. Tretton met with Moore and the city council traffic committee at luncheon today at the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the situation. Council asked the car company to study the downtown situation and recommend some plan of relief several months ago, but no program has been outlined. The council traffic committee originally sought to eliminate right and left turns which create congestion in the downtown district. Moore discussed the proposed rerouting program before the Kiwanis Club Wednesday. “The city is under a moral obligation to give the street car company the right to haul the public. It is the most practical way to handle mass transportation. This suggestion may cause loss in revenue but will not entail additional operating costs,” Moore said. “We do not propose to do anything which will jeopardize the street car company’s financial condition. The theory of the new plan is to balance the traffic on downtown streets, eliminating the old custom of every line going to Washington street. We always can not continue to haul every passenger past all the downtown public buildings,” Moore remarked. NURSES PRESENT PLAY Methodist Hospital Class Gives Program at Home. How Jenny Lind, under the management of P. T. Barnum, made her first appearance in Indiana singing in a newly built pork factory at Madison, was one of a number of anecdotes and stories told by Mrs. Demarchus Brown at the nurses home of the Methodist hospital Wednesday night. Mrs. Brown’s lecture was the second of a series given by the intermediate class of nurses in training in order to raise money for the senior banquet this spring. A playlet, “My Choice,” was given by the nurses as the opening feature of the program.

FUGITIVE SLIPS COPSBY RUSE Escapes as Auto Victim as Police Hunt Swamp. B)f United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—Out of a Nyack, N. Y., swamp into* the badlands A New York City’s gang world, Victor Dilches, alias Victor De Metrio, Gotham gunman, has escaped and is being hunted today. It has been revealed that, with the cunning which marked Dilches’ escape from Deputy Sheriff Theodore Berwaldt Tuesday when he perhaps fatally injured Berwaldt, the gunman eluded a countryside filled with searchers for him. For twenty-four hours an army of man-hunters had burned over the swamp into which Dilches had been se •-> to dash. Events of Wednesday indicate that the gunman had not remained in the swamp for more than fifteen minutes. Edward Murrin, a Suffern, N. J., insurance agent found Dilches lying beside the road apparently the victim of a hit-and-run driver. The face and scalp wounds which he had sustained in his battle to escape helped make him appear the victim of an automobile accident. Murrin took him to Suffern to Dr. Frank J. Liddy for treatment. Dilches paid the doctor and asked for a taxi-cab to take him to Jersey City. The doctor and the insurance agent summoned a taxi. As Dilches drove off he waved to a group of militiamen, and stete and county police, w’ho were discussing the difficulties of for such an elusive criminal.

How to Darken Gray Hair By BERYL WEST

\ w ■ I ' ...J

I repeat w hat I have often said —there’s no excuse today for a woman submitting to gray hair and looking older

than she feels. Gray, faded or streaked hair may be so perfectly restored to color that it need be only your own boudoir secret. Nothing more or less than a mixture of sage tea and sulphur is the magic. One may either prepare the mixture at home, or as most people prefer to do, buy it already prepared and ready to use. Wyeth’s Sage & Sulphur is the name of the ready-to-use preparation and since all druggists sell it at 75c a bottle, there is really no need of going to the trouble of making it yourself. You simply moisten a comb or soft brush with it, and draw it through the hair, one strand at the time. One application banishes the gray and one or two more completely restores your gray, faded or streaked hair to its original color. There is no artificial, dyed look. The whole effect is one of perfect naturalness. My readers would be surprised if they knew Os the thousands of men and women who use this preparation.—Advertisement.
