THE "5ATTLE CRUISERS"
Britain Has Great Strength in the New
Type of Warships.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The British
admiralty's decision that in future "ar-
mored cruisers of the all big gun type,
that is to say the 'Invincible" class and
later ships, are to be known as battle
cruisers in order to distinguish them
from earlier types. has been long In
coming. AS soon as the particulars OF
the "Invlncible" class were made pub
lie Il was pointed out by students of
the naval war that these ships were
not cruisers" that is, ships built es-
pecially for detached service. but bat
tleships, ships which would certain
" be put into the line OF battle in a
fleet action. II would have been pref
cradle TO have avoided the term cruis-
er altogether especially as the simple
description fast ,battleship" lay ready
to hand.
Cruiser battleship," which has also
been suggested. is essentially the same
as the term chosen, but more cum
brous. 1t may be taken that the OFF,
cial change OF title implies an admis-
sion. IL such were necessary, that
these very large. powerful and fast
ships are TO be regarded as the fast
wing OF the battle fleet; and II Is by
no means impossible that the change
will serve once more to call public
attention to the tactics of the fast
wing, a subject which was n good deal
discussed four years or so ago as be-
inc interesting novelty.

plan to put fraternal insurance or

"This is all moonshine." said WELL
known Calumet Woodman, referring to
this charge yesterday The people

of business IL their movement sue
the proposed increases in our rates.
The increases are absolutely necessary,
If the order is to be preserved. I'm
der the present rate the insurance is
being sold for less than cost, and it
has only been the great growth of the
order and the comparative youth of
the average new members that have
preserved the order from already
having been financially embarrassed
through trying to carry its insurance
on too cheap basis.
These Woodmen insurgents are
men with eyes who do not want to see.
The Woodmen's head officers have for
years been engaged in the patriotic
work of trying to educate the mem
bership of the order up to a point
where il would consent to put the
rates on an adequate basis. They have
made fine progress with this work,
and | predict that when the issue is
finally pushed to a definite result
there will be little evidence OF the
influence of the 100000 members the
Chicago insurgents are alleged 10
represent.
There is now promise that there
will be strong and general support for
the new schedule Of rates. The MEM
bership has come to see that the head
officers have it's ultimate welfare in
mind in urging higher rates, and it has
been shown by the experience of other
orders the d,r-s,er that is bound TO
follow If an attempt to do business on
an inadequate basis is persisted in"

DETROIT man LIKELY TO

RESIGNATION OF JAMES n
THOMPSON is SURPRISE.
Pat. X. Kelley Not DESTROYS of Taking
This Position.

There is considerable speculation
about the state as 10 who Will succeed
James II. Thompson as member OF the
state tax commission. Mr.. Thomp-
son rendered his written resignation
last Friday.
The reason for the move appears 10
have considerable behind IL which
may be Of interest. Mr.. Thompson is
attorney for one OF the big automo-
tIe companies mere in Lansing. Now,
the automobile companies have been
shown up by the expert tax inquiry
commission as paying the lowest rate
OF tax of any property in the entire
state. The expert commission also
has shown that the automobile COM
panies Of Lansing are especially low
in the list.
Il Is claimed that p. II. Kelley has
been offered the position but has de-
cHned, claiming he cannot find time 10
devote to the duties OF the position.
The real reason appears 10 be the pos
sibility Of his being chosen as con-
gresham at large in case no special
session OF the legislature is held at
which the state may be redistricted.
With Mr. Kelley out of the question
FOR the tax commission appointment
the general impression is that the APP
pointment will find its way into Wayne
county. II has been urged on several
occasions that Detroit should have
representation on the state tax COM
mission, and now the time seems al
hand.
