PAGES 9-18 GERMANY CREATES NEW NAVAL WEAPON Has Ships of Cruiser Size But Hitting Power of Battleships Washington, D. C., July 19.--One factor apparently overlooked thus far in the international hubbub over fur- ther naval reductions and limitations is the German navy. Lok It does not amount to much in size, due to scvere restrictions of the treaty that ended the war. But Oges man mechanical ingenuity has foun a way, within those restrictions, 10 produce a class of hybrid fighting ships that can conceivably be diffi- cult to fit into any accepted category imitation purposes. 2 for new German ships, limited to 10,000 tons displacement, arc the same size as the 10,000-ton post-W ash ington treaty cruisers of England, the United States, Japan, Franc. and Italy. Such vessels were the chief bone of contention in the fruit- less' three-power naval _conference sponsored by President Coolidge. But while the ships are limited to guns of - eight-inch caliber, the Ger- man vessels could carry guns twice that size and do, in fact, mount 11- inch batteries. ingh ba: naval designers never have British and American rivals. « I'hey followed the big gun idcas of their were content before the world war to build German high seas battle- ships and battle cruisers with long- range 11-inch weapons, . | In the war they used 11-inch bat- teries against British heavy war dogs mounting 13.5-inch and cven 15-inch yeapons. : ht Ag to be assumed that the Ger- man 11-inch naval rifle of today is as vastly improved over war time guns of the samc size, as are the cight-inchers of other naval powers. The result, then, of post-war and post-treaty naval development is the creation; of a 'new naval weapon. It is a cruiser in size, but a battleship in hitting power and gun range. That is a factor that cannot be overlooked by naval experts when and if the dis- cussions precipitated by President Hoover's suggestion -for a naval yardstick of fighting relativities gets down to a practical basis, : Nor arc previous naval relativity formulae upsct by the German supcr- cruisers on the scorc of gun power alone. They arc motor instcad of turbine driven, American naval in- formation credits their propelling ma- chinery with the staggering weight reduction evolution that gives them one brake horse power per 17%; lbs. of engine wei : The same type of internal com- bustion engines used ashore never be fore have been brought down to less than 51 pounds per brake horsc pow- er. The saving in cnginc weight for the German cruisers means more gun power, more speed, and, a very vital consideration in naval fighting relativities, more cruising radius, This is what the United States navy department has had to say of the new German ship: "She scarcely can be called a bat- tleship or a battle criuser, but what- ever definition be given, it appears clear 'that only by the adoption of internal combustion machinery has it been possible to build a vessel re- stricted to a displacement of 10,000 tons with a maximum speed of 26 knots and with a radius of action ex- ceeding 10,00 miles at a speed of ap- proximately 20 knots." The chap with the smile is Vice- Commodore Herbert Cummings of the National Yacht Club, one of the chief officials of local sea flea regattas, Last night while acting as referee of the N.Y.C. outboard races over the new marine speed- way he disqualified Bill Landrigan, the class "C" champion, and his smart boat, "I'm Alone" out of first place in the class "C" race for the Ellis Hosiery Shop trophy be- cause Landrigan, crowded out of his favorite pole position, started on the inside of the pole boat. Wa- ter whippet jockeys are rapidly finding out that when Cummings is boss rules are rules and must be obeyed, and that they all look, a- like to him, champions or trailers, Published Day Except Sundays GORDON WALDRON Whese name is mentioned for commissionership under the Combines Investigation act, to inquire into conditions in the building trade. PLUMBERS' GUILD MAY ATTACK PROBE Gordon Waldron Will Un- dertake Work It Is Announced the Toronto, July 20.--The right of Gordon Waldron, K.C., newly-ap- pointed royal commissioner, to in- vestigate the alleged plumbers' combine under the combines inves- tigation act, may be attacked in the courts by the Amalgamated Builders' council, it is reported. An injunction restraining Mr. Waldron from acting may be asked, it was stated. No confirmation of this report could be secured from W. TF. O'Connor, K.C., legal representa- tive of the Amalgamated Builders' council, as the alleged. plumbers' combine or guild is titled. Mr. O'Connor declared, however, that the dominion government's action in appointing a commission- er was 'most extraordinary." Mr. Waldron's appointment 'was an- nounced in Ottawa yesterday by Hon. Peter Heenan, minister of Labor. "In the face of the decision a few weeks ago by which the privy coun- cil decided to allow an appeal from the supreme court of Canada's de- cision upholding the combine in- vestigation act," Mr. O'Connor said, "this action is most extraor- dinary. "Unless there was some ground for doubt as to the constitution. ality of this act under which it is proposed now to investigate the plumbers, the privy council would not have allowed an appeal. The appeal allowed by the privy council ig taken by the Proprietary Articles Trades association and concerns the independent drug- gists' fight against Tamblyn Limit- ed. But so interested is the A.B.C. in the law involved in this. case that it has been decided, Mr O'Con- nor announced, to have counsel present next fall when the P.A.i.A. appeal comes before the privy council in London, England, The A.B.C. has begun suit pre- viously to prevent an investiga tion. An interim injunction aimed at prevention was refused by mr. Justice Raney but the main action still stands. It will not come to trial before the fall. Ottawa despatches state that the appointment of Mr. Waldron fole lows preliminary inquiries by I". A. McGrego?, registrar under the com- bines act. It is expected that Mr. Waldron will proceed with his in- vestigation within a few days, de- spatches said. FF. W. Griffiths, Ww, C., of Niagara Falls, has been nam- ed by the department of justice te act as counsel for the dominion government in the probe. SOME GOOD ADVICE Take a vacation that will bene- fit all the family alike--a place where there are no annoying little chores or the everlasting house- keeping routine to attend to--a place surrgunded by 'the wild beauty of the northern woods, yet having the convenient facilities and comfortable accommodation of the city home. Nipigon Bungalow Camp, sit- uated on the east shore of Lake Helen in the Nipigon River dis- trict, is easily reached by Canadian Pacific Railway or Great Lake Steamers. : French River Bungalow Camp, located on the beautiful French river a mere 200 miles from To- ronto, is also served by the Cana- dian Pacific.

J. July 20.--Howard H. Marks, 22, of Evans City, talked himself into the "real home," he had always wanted and then talk- ed himself out again yesterday. In- cidentally, he nearly broke a bereav- ed mother's heart. Marks was working as a berry picker on a farm in Bridgeton, N.J y and a middle-aged woman working next to him said that he bore a re- semblance to a son she had lost ten years ago. Howard pricked up his| ears, | He said nothing at once, but let | the woman unfold her story. She was Mrs, Harry Galasso, of Camden, N.J. She told how her son, Harry | Galasso, Jr., then seven years old | went out to play one day on a whari| in the Delaware river and was never | heard of again. She told how she and | her husband exhausted cvery avenuc | of search in an effort to retrieve their lost "child. Marks, who evidently knew some- | thing about Camden, then began to] describe certain landmarks in the neighborhood of the Galasso hone, saying he recalled them dimly, as though he had scen them a long timc ago. He told how hc himself had been kidnapped at the age of seven and said he was now 17, When the woman suddenly dropped her berry boxes and embraced him, he feigned surprise, Then he wept with her. This all happened last Friday. Mrs. Marks took her "boy" home with her and she and her husband cele- brated the return of the prodigal. They rc-outfitted Marks from head to foot, with new shoes, socks, suit, neckties and even cufflinks. A big "victory" dinner was held at the Gal- asso home Saturday. But Mrs. Galasso was not quite happy. She wanted vengeance on the kidnappers who had for ten years robbed her of her son. She went to the county detectives' office and told Chief of Detectives Lawrence Dor- an that she wanted the wretches ap- prehended and punished, Doran got hold of Marks yester- day and began questioning him. In ten niinutes he had given four ver- sions of his age, His account of the "kidnapping," so' satisfactory to his "mother" changed in detail until Do- ran accused him of having worked as a bedtime story expert for a broad- casting station. Finally the young man broke down, The Galassos refused to prosecute but sent him on his way in his threadbare berry-picking clothing. DIETARY CLINIC FOR TUBERCULOSIS Important Innovation in Ber- lin's Oldest Hospi- tal Berlin, July 20.--A dietary clinic for the treatment of tuber- culosis, after much original criti- cism has been accepted as an im- portant innovation at the Charite Berlin's oldest hospital. When a little more than a year ago the noted surgeon Prof. Ferdi- nand Sauerbruch, was called from Munich to Berlin University as head of the surgical clinic at the the Charite, he accepted Only on condition that he be allowed to make a number of innovations, one of which was the organization cof a special section for the treatment of tuberculosis by means of a certain diet, known after its orig- inators as the Sauerbruch-Her- manndorfer-Gerson diet--in addi- tion, of course, to such natural re- medies as light and air and if necessary, a operative procedure. In this dietary annex in a wing of the Charite with its sixty beds and wide sleeping porches, patients suffering from tuberculosis, eith- er of the lungs, bones, glands, or skin are put on a diet entirely de- void of table salt, in lieu of which they are supplied with a mixture of mineral salts, especially salt of lime, They are allowed ony one pound of meat a week and very little car- bohydrates (bread, sugar, pudding, cake) but on the other hand may Indulge in fats to their heart's con- tent and in as much uncooked fruit and vegetables and salads as they can stand. These saltless dishes are made more palatible by the addi- tion of garlic, parsley and onions. The successes recorded in hte first year of the clinic have exceeded all expectations. Most of the patients put on weight with surprising rap- idity and many cures were record- ed in cases in which all other forms of treatment had been futile, A sample dinner shown the vis- itor consisted of sorrel soup, fish salad, doughnuts, rhubarb or cheese pancake with raisins. Supper included fruit juice with whipped cream, raw carrots, green turnips, sauerkraut, radishes, tomatoes and green beans. At Sunday din- ners an addiitonal luxury is ice cream. - Attached to this dietary clinic are a comparaitvely small kitchen dominated by a gas range in the center and a surgery for operating on patient with dual pulmonary tuberculosis. : a.

There are six such families, recent- ly brought out and their plight was learned of 'by Canadian Legion members through the head of one of the families who was a Great War veteran. They interested an alderman, and the department of immigration at Ottawa was noti- fled. A representative is now con- ducting an inquiry here, The papers shown by the fami- lies concerned called for replace- ment on five acres of land, with a cow, chickens and: work guaranteed in the district. It is claimed that in no case were conditions met, the people being expected to go out and find work themselves. R. N. Munroe, assistant commis- sioner of immigration, who spent vesterday investigating the situa- tion declined to comment when in- terviewed by the press vesterday | evening. He will report direct to Ottawa. Savs Conditions Deplorable Alderman Walter Dowden, who initiated the investigation, stated that conditions existing were quite deplorable. © Of five families locat- ed just outside the city limits, the heads have 'heen found employ ment, not as their agreements call for, on farms, but in city factories. Should slack season intervene they | would be in a serious situatioi. The homes, he declared, were badly furnished and the immigrants were without funds save such as were now being earned. He declared further that in addi- tion to these cases there were oth- ers located in Brant, Norfolk and Oxford counties, including Waler- ford, Simcoe and Drumbo, where promises made had not been fulfill ed, none of the immigrants being satisfied with conditions, Mr. Munrie, accompanied by R. E. Ryerson, M.P. for Brantford, yesterday visited not only the local cases, but many of the district ones, as well, securing copies of agreements signed and conditions laid down and as well signed state- ments covering the existing situa tion and voicing strongly protests against existing state of affairs. Spruce Best for Rayon The spruce of Northern Canada is considered the most suitable raw ma- terial for the manufacture of rayon by the viscose process. Cellulose, in the form of sulphite pulp, derived from this wood, is now being shipped from Canada to all parts of the world for the manufacture of artificial silk.

When there the Australian con- ceived the idea of revenging him- self on Bellon by denouncing him to the French authorities as the man who had exposed a French agent in Switzerland as a spy. Bellon, on returning to Irance. wag arrested and tried on the charge of denouncing an accredit- ed agent of France abroad. Only the fact that deportations were suspended during the war vears preventedd his being sent to the Devil's Isle straightaway, but after five years in jail he was sent fo the French penal settlement for cight years and endured the hor- rors of life there until a few weeks ago, when his innocence was estab- lished by his wife, a native of Syd- ney. She had worked for his vin- dication all through the thirteen years when he was a prisoner un- der the shadow of false accus- tion. She was backed up by the League of the Rights of Man, an organiz- ation started by Emile Zola and other eminent Frenchmen after the Dreyfus scandal to insure that no future French victim of injus- tic should be left to fight his battle alone. Minerals in Canadian Arctic Exploration has indicated that the rocks of the Canadian Arctic main- land and archipelago are similar to those that characterize the southern and better known parts of the Dom- inion. A number of economic min- crals are known to exist at different points, although the extent and value of these deposits, which include coal of Carboniferous and Tertiary age, and graphite, mica, and native copper of Precambrian age, have not yet been determined. Large Electric Power Systems It has become the custom to rate as large electric power systems those inter-connected plants under one fin- ancial control and management with an annual output of 100,000,000 kilo- watt-hours or more. The latest fig- ures available show that Canada has 17 such systems, of which each of the first four averages gqearly two and a half billion kilowatt-hours per annum. The interconnection of elec- tric power plants into large systems hds been proved to give great advan- tages in cconomy, cfficieney, and re- liability of service, and these 17 sys- tems represent over 90 per cent of the total central station output in the Donyhina, ANCIENT CUSTOM OF JAR BURIAL Manilla, Philippines, July 20.-- Scientists exploring caves and old burial grounds in the Phillippines have been puzzled by huge porce- lain jars which they found in some of the caves, Although skulls, bones and other relics indicated that the jars had something to do with burial rites, their size pre- cluded their use as containers of food or water for refreshment of the deceased in the spirit world. The mystery was solved recent- ly when one of the jars was un- earthed intact, containing . the complete skeleton of a man., The skeleton was in a sitting position and further research has convin- ced the explorer that the ancient custom of burying th® dead in jars was widspread throughout the ar- caipelago. ABTAD'S SURVIVOR TELLS EXPERIENCE Seaman Tossed About by Mountainous Waves for. Seven Hours ° CAPTAIN IS DROWNED Shifting of Coal in Ship's Hold Responsible for Marine Disaster Santiago, Chile, July 20.-- The harrowing tale of a seaman who drifted for seven hours in the Pa- cific Ocean surrounded by the float- ing corpses of his comrades was told to-day by the lone survivor of the Chilean naval transport Abao which sank Tuesday with a loss of 42 men, The survivor, Enrique Aranada told his strange tale partly to the officials at Valparaiso and partly to seamen on the steamer Imperial which rushed to the rescue' of the sinking ship on receipt of SOS sig- nals only to arrive after the Abtao had sunk, The trouble on the Abtao began when the coal on fo come in when the ship listed over so far that there was no pro- tection from the waves, The crew worked in desperation.

MISSING DANISH Natives Tell of Ghost Ship Sailing Without Seamen London, July 20.--The fate of the long missing Danish training ship Kobenhavn, which disappeared some- where off the coast of Southern Af- rica last January, promised Thursday to become a legend of the South At- lantic which may take its place with the harrowing stories of old sailors who fear and love the mysteries of the sea. New details of the disappearance of the sailing ship with 60 cadets aboard were added to the story in a dis- patch from Capetown to the Daily News quoting Captain H. Kristensen, master of the Danish motorship Mexi- co, which has been searching for the Kobenhavn. The Kobenhavn, - which was the largest sailing ship in the world, was last seen drifting dangerously near a reef off-the Tristan da Cunha islands far in the South Atlantic, its sails re- duced or furled and apparently not a soul aboard, the dispatch quoted Captain Kristensen as saying. Cap- tain Kristensen, who visted Tristan de, Cunha in his search, said that he was convinced that the ship had been abandoned or all the crew were ill. Jt appeared unlikely, however, that the ship had been abandoned as it was still in good condition when seen near the remote islands. The story of the Tristhin de Cunha natives--which pictured a mystery ship without a man aboard--said that the Kobenhavn narrowly missed dis- aster on the reel but finally swung away with the current and drifted off towards the Antartic until it vanished in the mists, GREAT SPEEDS ON HIGHWAYS - ARE FORESEEN Standard Cars, Roads and Drivers Capable of 120 m.p.h., Predicted Toronto, July 20.--While they do not specify the date that it will arrive, there are many who fore- see the arrival of tfe 120-mile-an hour motor car racing over a 120- mile-an-hour highway under the firm, sure hand of 120-mile-an- hour drivers.
