PROBLEM OF SEEING Is
GRAVE FOR SUBMARINE
Question Is Raised in the German
ReIchstag.

Berlin, May 11.-Upon the third read
ing of the naval budget in the Reichs-
tag to-day Baron Won Kardorff agra
rian) asked Secretary of the Naval
Establishment, Admiral Won Tirpitz,
why German naval authorities had
done nothing in the direction of build
ing submarine boats, while all the other
navies were experimenting with them
1.-THE Russo-Japanese War;" he said,
must warn us that our navy is far
from what Germany must demand of
it's navy. Our navy must be made
much stronger"
Won Kardorff further said that the
British navy was growing dangerous
for Germany.
Secretary Won Tirpitz said that the
authorities were concentrating their
attention upon carrying out the fleet
law. Progress undoubtedly had been
made in the submarine question, but
the problem lies in the possibility Of
seeing, and herein progress had been
remarkably slow. Submarine boats in
the North sea were capable of splendid
achievements. The experiments would
continue, but even If they proved sue
cessful, submarine boats would not pro-
duce a great revolution. so long as
the problem of seeing was not solved.

JAPANESE COVER TENT.

Newport News. Va, May 11.-Supt
Walter A. Post of the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company
to-day emphatically denied that the To-
cal shipyard was engaged in building
submarine or other craft for the Jap

indirectly. Mr.. Post said that would
be a breach of international law and
that the management of the yard had
no intention of doing work for Russia,
japan or any other belligerent nation.
If boats were built for the Lake Com
pany they would be for that concern
alone, and any one desiring to find out
for what purpose they were desired

Paris, MAY Limited States Consul
General Gowdy recently received a let
ter from an American girl, saying that
she was locked UP in a provincial Jail
without any charge having been made
against her.
The consul general sent a representa-
tive to the Jail and secured the girls
release and return to Paris. He then
cabled TO her parents. residing at De-
catur, Ga, requesting funds for her
return to America.
The girl related a sensational story.
She claimed to have been abducted by
an American seeking to marry her, and
said she accompanied him on an auto
mobile tour, was locked up in a room
in country hotel. escaped and at
tempted to walk across the country,
but was arrested as a wanderer by the
French authorities. Inquiries made by
Mr.. GoWdy's representative establish
ed the correctness of her detention at
the provincial Jail, but the story of her
abduction was not verified, except by
her statement, which has been reduced
to an affidavit before the consul.
The names of the parties are with
held as no legal steps have been taken
against the alleged abductor, and ow-
ing to the doubtful character of some
of the accusations.
Pending the arrival of funds, the girl

Was an Agnes Scott Girl.
Atlanta, May Investigation de-
veloped the fact that the young woman
referred to in the above dispatch from
F9yris is Miss Belle Crane of Decatur,
Ga, who went to London about year
ago to give concert readings. Miss
Crane was we'll known here, having at
tended Agnes Scott Institute, well
known college for women. Her father
is B. S. Crane, who holds a prominent
position with the Virginia Carolina
Chemical Company. He had heard
nothing from his daughter for several
weeks, but about eight days ago in re-
Spouse to a cablegram from American
Consul General Gowdy that Miss Crane
was in Paris and wished to return
home, he cabled 5000 to pay the ex-
penses of her return passage. She is
expected next week. Miss Crane
went to Europe in company
with a party of friends from Gin
cinnati She had contracted with
Mr.. Angel, an American, who was go
ing to Europe, accompanied by his
wife, to give a series of concert read
ings, but upon the death of Mrs. Angel
the plan was dropped and Miss Crane
went to live with a Miss Lestrade in
London. Several weeks ago she left
London for Paris.

sparrow Thnt'r'ed Young Robins.
From outing.


A correspondent sends me this inter-
esting note:
II am sure you would like to hear of
a generous woodpecker I saw this
summer / was on a farm in Somerset
county, Pennsylvania, and out in the
orchard | saw this readhead perched
on a post of the worm fence with a
grub in his mouth. The world was full
of young bluebirds just then, and lit
tie flock was dancing on this fence.
Presently one of them sidled UP to
the woodpecker and opened his
mouth, whereupon the obliging redhead
gave him the grub. / would hardly
have believed that If l had read 1t,
but seeing is believing"
l have known a similar case myself.
l have seen a little chipping sparrow
make a business of feeding some half
fiedged robins. She watched for her
opportunity, and whenever both par
ent robins were away from the nest
she rushed in with her morsel. The
robins resented her officiousness and
hustled her out of the tree whenever
they caught her there. / have hear of
wren that fed a, brood of young rob-
ms in a similar way and of a male
bluebird that fed some young birds
that were in nest near its own.
do not suppose that these acts of
kindness among the birds spring from
any altruistic feeling, but that they
are simply the overlooking of the par
entail instinct.
