GERMAN NAVAL POWER PUZZLES WS. OFFICIALS

Russian Fleet Expected to Add to Strength of Enemy Navy by 25 Percent. WASHINGTON', July 12. Allied and American naval officials are un

able to form any accurate estimate of

the present strength of the German

tattle fleets, it was said today by Admiral Benson, chief of naval opera

tions.

Not only are reports as to what Ger

many has I'uilt or is building conflict

ing, but every efTort to secure positive information in regard to the where

abouts and condition of the Russian

fleet In the Black and Baltic seas has

met with failure.

Naval officials are interested par

ticularly in the dreadnaughts and bat

tle cruisers Germany may have sf

cured by seizure of the Russian fleets.

At least eight modern battle ships

were in the Baltic and Black seas and four battle cruisers were under construction at points in the Gulf of Finland when the Russian collapse came.

It Is estimated that if Germany has obtained all Russian war craft and

succeeded in putting them into fight

ing condition, she has been able to increase the strength of her high seas

fleet by 25 per cent Admiral Benson was quite positive, however, of the ability of the allied fleets to deal with the enemy should he venture out. The chief of operations said that Information as to the Russian Baltic fleet was unreliable in the extreme.

NEWSPAPER :

SEES SUB ATTACK

Louis Ross, former Palladium re

porter, now a flyer in the Royal Fly

ing Corps, which he entered when he was working on a Toronto newspaper, was on a ship that was attacked by a submarine. "It was late one afternoon that the loud boom of a gun on a torpedo boat destroyer in one convoy awoke us to a realization of the presence of a sub-sea boat," he writes. "The periscope was sighted a few yards off our starboard side and bow. Whether the U-boat commander had sighted us from afar and had submerged, seeking to come up in our rear or to one side to launch his torpedo or whether he accidentally arose near us to peer about for prey is unknown. We imagine he uttered a surprised 'Ach Himmel.' "The first shell thrown at him probably missed but with increditable speed the destroyer droppe da depth bomb. Its roar sounded the death knell of the German and his crew. Sufficient evidence was obtained to declare that a positive sinking was effected. Shortly afterward a second U-boat was sunk by several well-aimed shots from another passenger liner near us. A day or two later another was sunk, I am told. This time our boat was some distance from the spot and I do not know the circumstances."

Murphy heard of his appointment Friday in a letter from Le3ter S. Ivins, director of gardens for the Western states. The garden association recently convened in Pittsburgh.

INDIANA MEN IN SERVICE OF U. S, WILLJ VOTED Governor Selects Commission to Have Charge of Voting of 30,000 Hoosiers. INDIANAPOLIS, July 12. A bipartisan commission of four men was appointed Thursday by Gov. Goodrich to have charge of the registration and voting of the 30,000 Indiana men in the military and naval service of the United States. Members of the commission are Thomas Honan, Seymour, and Fred Hoke, Indianapolis, democrats, and Fred Ewing, Princeton, and Charles Roemler, Indianapolis, republicans. The appointments were announced after a conference between the governor and Fred VanNuys, chairman of the democratic state central committee; Edmund Wasmuth, chairman of the republican state central committee, and Maj. Robert Baltzell, state conscription agent. . It is planned to secure the registration and vote of as many as possible of the men in service, especially those in the large training camps. No attempt will be made, however, to secure the votes of the soldiers overseas. Adj. Gen. Harry B. Smith, under instructions from Gov. Goodrich, will immediately prepare a list ' of the names of all Indiana men in the service and will turn over copies of the list to the members of the commission and to each political organization. This list will be used after the manner of a poll of voters to check up the registrations. The date the registrations will be secured and the manner in which they will be obtained have not been determined. Under the law the registration blanks must be filled out and be in the hands of the county election officials in the counties in which the men reside by October 5. This will give the commission a little less than two months to secure the registrations. The men will be allowed to mark their ballots at the camps not sooner than fifteen days before election day, Nov. 5. The ballots must be in the hands of the county election officials by that darte to be counted with those cast on election day.

36 ALIEN WOMEN FAIL TO GET CARDS

Friday is the last day when alien women, who registered at the postoffice or police station will have the chance to get their degistration cards. Of the 173 women who registered at the police station not long ago there are twenty-one who have not called for their cards. The women must get their cards today and if they cannot get them themselves they may send someone to get them for them. Of the thirty alien women who live in Wayne county outside of Richmond only fifteen have called for their cards. Postmaster Beck said that he expected all the' rest to be called for before evening. , The registration papers will be sent to the chief registrar Saturday and also a report showing which ones of the women failed to apply for their cards.
