THE NEW BRITISH DESrRoYERs.

a report which was presented Ia Parliament
a few days ago in regard To the latest group
of torpedo boat destroyers added To the British
navy is analysed at length I'm the latest number
of Engineering" To reach this country. Since
1902 no less than nineteen Of these vessels have
been launched, and most OF them have had
their speed trials. There are triding differences
in dimensions and speed. but the boats are prac-
tically alike. and they all represent the policy
adopted by the Admiralty after the loss of the
Cobra at sea.
The new destroyers are ten or fifteen feet
longer than those OF the thirty-knot class aud
have much heavier frames. They displace from
$40 to $50 tons whereas their immediate prede
cessors displaced only about 900 tons. \ part
of this addition to their weight comes from the
necessity for using more powerful engines.
These develop 800 horsepower, whereas the
other boats had 1000 horsepower less at their
disposal.
The opinion is expressed by Engineering"
that too much has been sacrificed to popular
clamor" in the design of the new boats. They
cost % per cent more than those OF the next
older class, consume more coal, have II more
limited radius of action and several
knots slower. Only one OF the new vessels
showed a speed OF twenty-seven knots on her
trial, and the others ranged between twenty
five and half and twenty-siX knots This will
enable them TO OYertake any battleShip or
cruiser which they may wish to attack, but they
are not fast as certain other destroyers In the
British navy, nor, I'm this particular. the equal
of the best torpedo boats of one or two other
powers.
The wisdom OF the change which has been
made can be determined in only one way. Be
fore passing judgment ii is necessary TO know
precisely what conclusions were reached by
the board OF naval experts which investigated
the destruction of the Cobra. These have never
been made public. Nobody outside OF official
circles is in position to say positively whether
the boat went TO pieces on account of radically
defective design merely in consequence OF
bad workmanship. 1t is known that after she
was lost one of the boats OF her class was
hOisted out of water by chains at each end.
Engineering" thinks that such an ordeal was
more trying than any 10 which she would have
been subjected at sea. 1t remarks cynically:
1.-THE test was not considered a proof OF the
strength of the hull structure that would sat-
'isfy the uninstructed." However, the period
zeal in question cOnfesses TO ignorance about the
inquiry made into the seagoing qualities OF the
other boats of that class. Here the Admiralty
has the advantage over fits critics. Until the
contrary can be established, it is safe 10 as
sumo that the British government was actuated
by something besides popular clamor" in build
ing stouter boats than the Cobra.

RAILROADLOSTAGAIN
:, Rugh Wins Suit Against
Union Pacific

The suit of c. Rugh against the
Union Pacific railway company for
1924. SO. damages was decided in favor
of plaintiff by a jury in the district
court Thursday afternoon. The case
involves some fine points of law as
to the responsibility of railroads for
damage to perishable freight, if the
same is transferred from one railroad
to another.
On Dec. IL, 1901 Rugh shipped a
car load of potatoes over the Union
pacitic to J. NJ. Johnson of Pueblo.
At Denver the stock was transferred
from the Union Pacific car to Colo
RADIO g. Southern car and shipped out.
ON Dec. l3, the car arrived in Pueblo
with contents spoiled by freezing.
The case was tried in the county
court here last spring and was de-
cided against the L. p. 1t was ap-
pealed to the district court with the
result. that the court ruled tlla1 the
Union Pacific was responsible to MI.
Rugb for the value of the potatoes,
and the jury accordingly awarded
damages for the full value OF the
cargo. Attorneys for the defendant
cave notice of appeal, and it likely
the case Will be taken to the supreme
court. to once for all settle lhls
,o;rt of law involved 1t is prob
able that the Union Pacific would be
clad TO settle this case without more
exnense if it was not desired to nave

ALL C0RKERS
PUZZLES IN THE TRIBUNE
CHRISTMAS CONTEST
Readers Will Have to Make
Use of Much Learning.
Fine Prizes to
Winners

Now guess your head dizzy. In
another part of this paper are eigh-
teen puzzles, every One-with few
exceptions corker. The exceptions
are there just to jolly you long when
you believe it impossible to guess
any of them. None of them are
impossible. When you once know
the answer, you will see how plain
it really is. But it will test your
knowledge Of things generally to
decipher all of the puzzles.
The Tribune puzzle contest just
before the holidays last year proved
one of the most successful advertising
features ever attempted here. Nearly
five hundred persons sent in answers
to the puzzles. OF these something
over fifty were correct. The puZ-
ZleS then were much easier, and were
calculated to test only person S
knowledge of geography. This year,
the subjects of the puzzles are num-
erous and varied, and will require
much harder thinking. The pleasure
and amusement in working them
out will also be much greater.
There will be good many fine
prizes offered by The Tribune and its
advertisers, and there should be cor
rect answers enough to carry off all
the prizes. If not the prizes will be
awarded to those who come nearest
to guessing them all.
To make the contest on equal
terms to all Tribune readers no
letters will be opened until Tuesday
morning, Dec. 20. In this way
readers in outlying districts will
have time to send in their answers
and have them given equal showing
with the readers right in Greeley.
The letters will all be placed in
basket and thoroughly mixed;
then numbered with numbering
machine and opened, without the
Judge having any previous knowledge
of the person sending in the answer.
This method proved so generally sat
isfactory last year, that it is not be-
lieved it could be improved on.
Remember the date that the an
swers must be in this office to be
considered. Tuesday morning, Dec.
