BIG DREADN0UGHT PLANS
ARE STOLEN FROM THE u. S.
Sensation Caused by Disappearance of
Papers as to BattleshIp
Pennsylvania.

Washington. May 15.-That there
have been repeated thefts of plans of
United States battleships from the
navy department offices is the discIos-
ure here. The thefts have been going
on since the night of March 4. when
certain plans of the newest dread
nought. the Pennsylvania, were taken
from the bureau of steam engineering.
Since that date similar plans of
other ships have been missed from the
same drafting rooms. Agents of the
department of justice have been put
on the case, but up to date their inves-
LEGATIONS have brought no results.
Navy officials say they are not so
much concerned over the importance
of what already has been lost as they
are to find the leak and prevent fur
Their losses. Each battleship has sew
eral sets of plans which are sometimes.
widely distributed among the bureaus.
and contractors. The general plan
is never very much of a secret.
The plans were very simple and
such as could be prepared to order by
any competent electrician. They did
not relate to the fire control or turrat
mechanism and therefore had no par
ocular naval value.
The officials, however. we're alarmed
at the occurrence. because 1t disclosed
the possibility of the theft of really
important secret plans. Consequently
extra precautions have been taken TO
guard against the entry into the draft
ing rooms Of any one who does not
belong there, and system of check
ing and accounting will be rigidly en-
forced.

What" asked the teacher, does
anthracite mean?"
That's a kind of COAL" said little
Willie.
YES. Anthracite coal is what we
call hard coal So anthracite must
mean hard. Now can you tell me what
bituminous means?"
That's coal, too Willie replied.
"But it isn't the same kind of coal
that anthracite is, is it? Bituminous
coal is what we commonly refer to as
soft coal. Now, Willie, let us see if
you can form a sentence containing
.tlse words anthracite and bituminous."
Willie thought the matter over for
a minute and then said:
Here's one. This morning before
pa started downtown ma wanted 50
for groceries and things, and she tried
to get it by saying bituminous words,
but pa gave her an anthracite look,
and when he disappeared around the
corner she was weeping Unanimously"
