Expert Declares the Boosted Fight
Ing Ships Are Merely Death
Traps
ARmoR BELT is TOO LOW
Defects in Construction Pointed
Out and Promotion System
Is Scored.

Henry Reuterdahl. associate OF the
United States Naval Institute and
American editor of Fighting ships.
Is the author OF startling article on
The Needs OF Our Navy in the Jan
uary McClure's- Mr.. Reuterdahls ex-
pertness on naval matters is not dis
puted and neither is his patriotism.
He agrees with President Roosevelt
that a navy must be built ''and all Its
training given In time OF peace and
with this In view he exposes defects
In our first-class battle ships and ar
mored cruisers which all but make
them useless as efficient units In
feet on heavy sea and in real action
Mr. Reuterdahl's criticisms appear
TO be the more amazing on account OF
the contention that most, II not all of
the weak points he emphasizes, viii be
acknowledged by sea-goIng officers, 'or,
II the reader is sufficiently interested,
BY the testimony OF his own eyes"
His principal points are the follow
ing:
That the shell-proof armor OF the
American battle ships Is virtually be-
low the water line where 1t will do no
good. leaving the broad side OF the YES
sci exposed to the shells OF the enemy.
That this defect has been pointed

Persons So Fond of srirneuIous That
Question. Are Easily Raised.
The love OF the miraculous Is enough
TO keep alive the BELIEF that the ac-
cepted facts OF history concerning a
person who has greatly interested the
world either By his life OF his death
are all wrong. says the Boston Trans
cript. Within twenty years a big book
has been published In this country TO
demonstrate that Marshal Ney was not
shot In the garden OF the Luxembourg.
Dec. 7. 1915, but escaped to America
and dwelt In North Carolina.
For some years there nourlshed Ia
Germany a man who declared himself
to be the son OF the duke Of Relchstadt
by secret marriage and therefore the
grandson and direct heir OF Napoleon
This imposter was a clumsy fellow who
did not know his book. for the date he
assigned as that Of his birth was fully
a year subsequent to the death Of the
duke.
But we need not travel 50 far a. Eu-
rope to ind the credulous Of the Incred-
ible. Only a few years ago there died
In Kansas a man who was believed By
many Of the vicinity to be wilkes
Booth. A marked physical resemblance
to the assassin caused 80 much annoy

he took pains to demonstrate by proofs
Of his birth and education that be was
