DEADLY FOE OF DREADNOUCHTS
 "C-3" TO BE LAUNCHED TOMORROW AT PLANT OF LAKE TORPEDO BOAT 60.
New Underwater Craft Contains Heavy 0 Burning Engines Made In Switzerland Has Sailing Range Of Thousands Of
 Mies--Air Under 2,5OO Pounds
 Pressure "Made In Bridgeport

1 tance of two miles at speed of 535
 knots per hour. Each torpedo car
 ries an explosive charge of 25o pounds l of gun cotton and will explode on
 striking the enemy's hull. ] The principle dimensions of the G-1
 and G-2 are, length 161 feet, beam 13
 feet, draft on surface 13 feet in
 ches, displacement about 800 tons 1 The G-3 is similar to the G-1 and
 G-2 already delivered to the govern ment, except thAt G-3 has heavy oil
 engines, instead of gasoline engines, | as used in the former vessels. 1 The development of the heavy oil 1 engine is much further advanced in Europe than in this country, which made it necessary for the Lake com | pany to go to Switzerland for an en- | zine. Several firms on the continent are now employing several thousand hands each in the manufacture of en- | zines to use heavy oils. The G-3 will be delivered to the | Brooklyn Navy Yaru in a. few days, when the Lake company must then 1 decide whether it ~Eil start work at Bridgeport on it's three new contracts for t1ze L. type boats which are to cost $1.655, 900 sub-let them to other shipyards.
 The G-3 is the only vessel, except
 the ''Protector'' (now in Vladivostock,
 Russia), that has been entirely built at Bridgeport; all the other vessels of the Lake type having been built by sub-contractors who have received large profits from their construction
 The Lake company has recently been reorganized for the purpose of carry ing on it's new United States navy contracts to better advantage and hopes to save the subcontracting ship builders profits and to eventually con centrate all the designing and build ing of it's boats here at Bridgeport, except where it supplies plans and expert advice to foreign countries or foreign si1ipbuilders, who will pay roy Fa1ties for the use of the Lake pa tents.
 Frederick B. whitney, of Waukegan, Illinois, is the president of the reor- ganized- company.
 The services of R. H. M. Robinson, late naval constructor, United States navy, have recently been secured as naval architect of international repu- tation, and was the designer of prac- tica1ly all of the modern navy of the United States, including all of the United States batt1eships of the dreadnaught and super-dreadnaugh type.
 A strong board of directors is be- ing formed to direct and control the company's affairs. Frank Miller, president of the City National bank, having been elected during the pres ent week as one of the new dfrec- tors.
 MT. Lake has agreed to remain with the company for a period of 10 years as inventor and in an advisory capac- ity.

A. B. TREAT, THE BUILDER OF YALE
 TAKEN BY DEATH

New Haven, Dec. 26-Arthur Barnes Treat, head of the construction firm of Sperry & Treat Company, which built the county courthouse and many local buildings and many of the most imposing structures in the state, died suddenly early today from acute in digestion and heart failure.
 MT. Treat was a descendant of Gov ernor Robert Treat, was born in Orange and from his seventeenth year had been in business here. The con- struction firm at one time had the late Congressman N. D. Sperry as it's titular head although MT. Treat was the active partner. MT. Treat was in his 60th year.
 As a builder, he had been identified with the development of Ya1e's equip nent in dormitories, hall and 1abora- tories. In fact, his relationship was such that he had been termed the builder of Yale. His more recent work has been iii erecting the laboratories in the Sage-Pierson Square section

New York, Dec. 26-Driven by a northwest wind of hurricane force, which had been blowing without in terxuption twenty hours, mountainous waves from the Atlantic ocean have washed away homes at Sea Bright. N. -J, flooded the electric cables and plunged the town into darkness, rip ped away foundations of homes ana undermined streets, exposed water and sewer pipes and compelled more than 300 residents along the beach to ice from their homes for shelter in the fire house, town hafl and pol lice station.
 Houses are now hanging over sand bank cliffs threatening to topple down to destruction with each succeeding wave. For four miles along the shore bulkheads have been torn away, parts of lawns of the homes of wealthy men washed out, and in four places the tracks of the Jersey City Central rail- road were weakened beyond the pos sibiIity of use today.

HOLIDAY DANCE OF
 GUILD PROMISES TO
 BE NOTABLE SUCCESS

Of the numerous social events of the holiday season, one which is awaited with much interest is that of the Elizabeth Seton Guild, at the Strat- field ball room next Tuesday evening. This will be the first undertaking Of a public nature held by this newly organ ized society of young women Of Bridgeport and vicinity. From the in- terest displayed in the dance, ft is expected that there will be an unusu- ally large attendance.
 The guild was recently organized among the young women of Bridgeport for the furtherance of charitable work particularly the following up of hos pital cases during convaIescence after the needy patients have left the hos pitaIs. A striking evidence Of tho effective work of the new society was the wholesale distribution of useful arr ticIes ofs clothing among the hospital patients as Christmas gifts.

The United States submarine tor pedo boat ''G-3.''

 The vessel must descend to a depth of 200 feet and be able to navigate under the water at speed of 10 1-2 knots at any desired depth Sufh- cient air is stored in special Vana- dium steel tanks to last the crew for several days in case it were necessary to remain submerged for that period Of time. The air is compressed to the enormous pressure of 2500 pounds per square inch by especially designed compressors. This air is also used in charging and expe1ling the Whitehead torpedoes, which after being fired from the torpedo tubes (of which the G-3 has six) are capable of running a dis
