ment made by Ambassador Thomas

The engines of the Indomitable are
of the Parsons turbine type, develop
ing 41,000 horsepower the most pow-
erful ever put into a British warship.
They drive four screws, and on her
recent official trials, which were car
ried out under war conditions, pro-
PEELED her at a rate in excess of 25
knots.
The turbine engines run smoothly
and almost without attention; indeed,
it is said that the engine-room staff
in these new turbine vessels have so
little to do when running at high speed
that there is danger of the men going
to sleep.
The boilers are fitted with appliances
for burning oil, though coal is the main
fuel.
The effect of the Indomitable on
naval construction has already been
remarkable.
In Germany, two even more gigantic
and powerful cruisers are now being
built of her special type, while Japan is
also constructing cruises of the same
general design.

Sheboygan, Port Washington, Fond

Milwaukee, Dec. 1.-THE blizzard,
the worst so far this winter, which
prevailed all night has wrought great
destruction to telephone and telegraph
wires north Of Milwaukee in the vicin-
ity Of Sheboygan, Port Washington,
Dond du Lac and Oshkosh. The snow
Is said to be heavy and wet. A large
number of telephone and telegraph
poles are reported to have been broken
off at the base. carrying with them
many wires. The force of the storm
can be imagined from the fact that
considerable Of the recent construc-
tion work of the telegraph and tele-
phone companies is new. The West
ern Union Telegraph company's chief
operator reports that the storm
reaches north into the copper coun-
try, though in the extreme north it is
not SO severe as in the south section.
In Milwaukee, rain has been falling
all night and at 10 o'clock this fore
noon 1t is still falling. The storm
centre is moving westward.
