more than 100000 of all kinds This. according
Hale is the smallest surplus since last Oc-
/ tober, when there marked shortages In sew

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Err
PRISONS TURBINES TO
sm BE TESTED.
Hill BE Used 5cith Reciprocating
Engines, a Means Of Propulsion
Ne7c to Wdrships.
Lrror, The Tribune Bureau.I

washington Sept At has been practically
decided 10 employ a power in one of the
two battleships for which bids were opened re-
Gently This will be a combination of the Par
=.ons turbine and reciprocating engines. means
Of propulsion never before employed on a war
ship.
II has also been decided to equip some naval
vessel smaller than battleship with a combi-
nation of reciprocattng engine and electric
motor with a view ascertaining how far
such a combination would be advisable for
battleship.
These decisions have been reached as a result
of the deliberations of the naval board of con-
.struction concerning the award of the con-
tracts for the two new battleships Some or
the members of the board favored equipping one
Of the batteships with a combination OF recip-
rocating engine and electric motor. To do this.
however. would have meant the acceptance of
one of the higher bids received and while the
amount within the appropriation available.
IL was appreciated that such action would lead
to a protest from the lower bidders and would
undoubtedly invite criticism on the part of Con-
gress. II is proposed. however. to have one OF
the smaller ships equipped with this new COM
bination in order to ascertain definitely whether
it will be advantageous to apply the system to
a battleship.
There are one or two merchant liners which
and turbines and two naval engineers, Com
,1lander II. P Norton and Lieutenant John Hal
ligan jr, who are duty in the Bureau of
Steam Engineering assistants OF Rear Ad-
miral H. l. Cone, have been making trip on
one of the transatlantic steamers equipped with
this system.
So far the naval engineers have been able
to learn the combination of turbine and recp-
rocating engine offers economical means of
propelling ships of The objection to the
turbine has been that it is economical only when
the vessel is being driven at the maximum
speed and it is desired to have available motive
power which may be economically operated
when the vessel is a ordinary cruising speed,
which is the usual condition.
With one battleship equipped with this COM
bination and the other carrying all turbine mo-
tive power il will be possible to make direct
comparisons which should be of great value.
