ADMIRAL RIDDLES CRITICISM OF UNITED STATES BATTLE FLEET BY REUTERDAHL. : SAYS AMERICAN CRAFT ARE SUPERIORS OF ALL Latest Creations in Naval Fighting Vessels Surpass Even England’s Boasted Dreadnaught, Asserts ExOfficer in Magazine Article.

New York, Dec. 16.—That the latest battleships built by this country are vastly superior to England’s Dreadnought, is emphatically stated by Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans in an article in the latest number of Hampton’s Broadway Magazine, wherein he strongly defends the American navy and replies to criticisms of it made some time ago by Henry Reuterdahl and others. : Admiral Evans urges the superiority of the 13-inch gun over the 12-inch and asserts that the change to the lesser caliber to conform to England’s type was a most serious .blunder. This is chargeable, he' says, to the seagoing officers of the navy and not to any staff corps. . " Armor Belt Defended. Regarding the waterline armor belt, he says: “l am sure, after many weeks of close observation, that the lower edge of the armor belt is too high rather than too low.” : It had been strenuously contended

by critics that the low location of the belt was a vital point of weakness. “As the upper edge of the belt is always even with or above the level of the protective belt,” continues Admiral Evans, “the danger to be apprehended from a projectile penetrating above the belt, beyond the wrecking effect of suah projectile, is that due to the amount of water that may enter the hole. It is the damage that may be done by such projectiles entering below that may cause the destruction of the ship—one projectile so placed may cause the ship to sink by exploding magazines or boilers, but this is improbable.. It will require many 12-inch shells on the waterline, or in any other place, to disable or sink such a- ship if the officers and men know their business and want to fight.” o £ Can’t Be Like Russian Fleet. “Of all the inaccurate and misleading statements in this wonderful Reuterdahl criticism,” he continues, “the most incorrect is that the battleships' of the United States are in exactly the same condition as were the Russian ships after .the RussoJapanese fight in the Sea of Japan—not temporarily, but permanently. “l assert,” says the admiral, “that the battle fleet of the United States never was and never will be, never can be, in the condition of that Russian fleet when it went into action for m last time.” e e x‘;u S Mok B O o ‘Birdsong, slayer of Dr;?‘éﬁ'm,:% 8.

Cromwell C%&s. Schlabach, who has been at Mt. Clemens for the past two weeks, taking a course of baths, returned Saturday looking well. Charley says he feels all right again. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Thomas were visitors at Albion last Wednesday. Several cars of hogs were shipped last Wednesday besides the usual shipment of stock. The house of Richard Wyland, about seven miles south, was burned to the ground last Wednesday afternoon. Our streets are now clear of the telephone poles. This makes qnite an improyement to our town notonly to the eye but for the safety of our people. Many larger towns cannot boast of the safeguard to life. The electric plant is being enlarged in town which causes one to believe there will soon be a renewal of electric lights here. For the last two weeks after sundown we have been experiencing the fate of the Egyptians under the plague and the condition is not desirable. We trust the management will be more successful in this last effort to give the town good service. Repairs are going on the rear of the Gants’ block under the management of contractor Firestone. A new platform and stairway is being put in, and will add mush to the safety of traffic as well as a distinct improvement to the buildiug.

Christmas is coming: This is noticeable in many ways. Qur merchants are dressing up their windows making them quite attractive to look at. KEvergreen trees are being hauled into town to give enjoyment to the young people when the time comes. Classes in the churches and else where are rehearsing their €hristmas tales to be given next week and in fact we are al} getting ready to meet old genia Santa Claus. .

Woman Grossly Wronged Mrs. Florence Maybrick, who spent fifteen years in an English prison for the alleged poisoning of her husband has just had over 2,000,000 acres of land in Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky adjudged to her. During her imprisonment her attorney sold the tract to himself for $lO,OOO, although it was worth a million. He is now compelled to cancel the deed. There was and is a belief that Mrs. Maybrick was unjustly sentenced, as the presiding judge was proven to have been mentally unsound; but Queen Victoria with her rigid views on domestic life would not heed any aspeals for pardon. King Edward, however, granted her a full pardon. A pitiful feature of her case is that

at her imprisonment she was separated from her little girl and boy, aged 3 and 2 years, respectively. That was 19 years ago, and she knows not whether they are alive. Possibly this large fortune may cause those who have them hidden to bring them forward as claimants. Mrs. Maybrick married young and is now but little over 40 years. She was a noted southern beaut)y, and is now devoting her energiea to ameliorating the eonditions of prison life in the south?

Archbold, the active head of. the Standard Oil Company, again was a witness in the government suit for the dissolution of that corporation when the hearing was resumed Tuesday before Referee Ferris here. Mr. Rosenthal, for the Standard, first asked Mr. Archbold to testify about the company’s connection with a man named Post, the owner of a large oilmarketing concern in Germany. He said that Post first purchased his supplies from the Deutsch-Amerikanis-che Petroleum Gesellschaft and then from the Pure Oil Company, but in 1894 he returned to the German company which had a'connection with the Standard.

The December American Boy

"The efforts of the publishers to make the Christmas American Boy worthy of its readers, have certainly proven successful. The picture (in colors) of the pleased and smiling boy laden with Christmas presents and his no less delighted four-footed friend, which adorns the front cover page, is a happy index to the fine timely matter the magazine contains. The interesting serials by Houston and Tomlison are concluded this month as -is also The Deer Trailers, while That Dilingham Boy is continued. Christmas, of course, is the theme of most of the short stories: Billy’s Skyscraper Christmas Tree tells the result of a boyish prank; Officer Ben makes a Christmas Present, describes the wonderful intelligence of a cavalry horse among the Indians, and At Close Quarters With a Giant, is the story of a thrilling inciacent on a whaler. The Broken Runner Plank is a fine story of ice-boating; Little Ahmow’s Fight With the Wolves tells of the bravery of a little Eskimo, and A Little Brave describes an Indiana boy’s heroism. Among the larger articles are: The Boy Who Was a King: What Can a Young Man Do? The Most Costly Toys in the World; A Champion Snow Plow for Boys; For the Boys to Make; The Story of Chocolate ; R3pe-Swinging—A Popular Pastime With the Cowboys; Some of the Strang Tenants of a Texas Ranch, and How to Make an Ice-Boat.
