Washington, Dec. Is. Small
credence is placed in the sugges-

senate purpose to make a party
issue OF the creation of an addi-
tional federal judgeship in south
Georgia. Senator Root, of New
York, who suggested that Judge
Speer be written a letter in re-
gard to the legislation, is under
stood to favor the bill, and SEN
ator Borah, of Idaho, has stated
that his desire for a postpone
ment was for the purpose of get
ting data as to the requirements
of the south Georgia districts.
1t is regarded as but natural
that Judge Speer's views on the
bill should be sought. inasmuch
as its purport is to divide the
judicial work in the southern dis
trict and Tighten the labors of
an admittedly sick man.

BY J. w. 7. MASON,

limited Presa.l


NEW YORK, Dec. 1911 a.
m.)-The difference between the
British navy efficiency and ineffi-
cheney led is shown by the differ
ent results of the Atlantic and
Pacific South American sea fights.
The trapping of the German
squadron off the Falklands not
only was a remarkable piece of
strategy, but also resulted from
unprecedently rapid and secret
action by the British authorities
after Admiral Cradocks' ships
had been destroyed off Chile.
The British government has re-
quested its home newspapers not
to speculate on the means taken
to destroy Admiral Won Specs
squadron, because there is other
work at sea still to be done. Thus,
authoritative information Is lack
ing. It is not difficult, however,
to reconstruct, in broad outline,
what was done. Three days be-
fore the Chilean disaster. and two
days after the Audacious was de-
stroyed, Lord Fisher succeeded
Prince Louis, OF Batterburg, as
first sea lord. Lord Fishers first
important act seems to have been
the creation of a new special high
speed squadron, charged with the
duty of running down Won Spec
and destroying his highly efficient
but secondary warships. The Brit
ish squadron undoubtedly had as
its neuclus one or more dread
dought cruisers mounting 12-inch
guns and possessing a 25-knot
speed. Won Specs best guns were
of S.2-inch calibre and his highest
speed, which applied only to his
smaller ships, was 24.5 knots.
To command the British ships
Lord Fisher selected his own right
hand man. Admiral Sturdee, re-
Gently made chief OF the naval
staff. The vast importance attach
ed to the expedition Is apparent In
the appointment OF Admiral Stur-
dee, whose real position is that OF
strategist at home.

naval staff was on his way to
meet them the Germans would
have rushed out of harms way to
other ports of the world, leading
Admiral Sturdee a tantalizing
chase. Instead, Won Spec ran
straight into the British COM
mander's arms by steaming from
the Pacific into the Atlantic.
The completeness of the victory
demonstrates, even without q list
OF the British ships, how inferior
the Germans were in range to the
British. The lesson OF the con-
fiict bears out the teaching OF all
the naval engagements of the
war. A warship in battle is either
absolutely safe or 1t is death trap,
depending Upon the calibre OF It's
rifles. Range and weight OF metal,
coupled with speed TO compel q
conflict are the important factors
In naval warfare, despite the occa-
sional spectacular exploits OF sub
marines.
Naval strategy consists OF out

The army at Naco is operating under

Secretary Bryan, It is understood, be-

TELLS RAMBLING TALE
OF DIAMOND ROBBERY

Babbling about $4,000 worth of dia-
monds, and two men, and hard blow
on the head, as he was receiving
treatment in Grace hospital, Wednes-
day afternoon, for a scalp wound,
Charles l.. Roberts, 32 years old, OF
Racine, Wis, was taken In charge
by Detectives Reid and Dibble when
the hospital authorities were through
with him, and the rambling story that
he told caused the officers to lock him
was under the influence of liquor.
To the detectives, he declared that
he had been robbed of $4,000 worth
of diamonds, by two men who attack
ed him at Michigan and Cass-aves..
after they had lured him here from
Chicago. He said that the diamonds
belonged to Morris Strelitz, OF Mil
waukee, and he had obtained them
from Strelitz to sell in Chicago.
In Chicago, he said, he met two
men, one Of whom said he was George
McNutt, a jockey, from Windsor, and
the other gave his name as Yarrow.
They told him that he could sell the
diamonds In Detroit, and promised to
help him arrange the sale, he says.
He says he came on ahead, TO meet
the two men in the postoffice. While
lingering In that vicinity, he said, he
was attacked from the rear, by two
men, at Michigan and Cass-aves., and
was robbed OF the diamonds. He
blamed the two men he met in Chi.
cago for the attack.
Detectives Reid and Dibble investi-
gated the story as we'll as they could.
They finally learned, from tailor on
Forrest west. near the postoffice, that
he was responsible for the bump on
Roberts head.
The tailor told the police that Rob.
erts went into his shop, drunk, In.
quiring about two men whom he was
to meet in the postoffice. The tailor
ordered him out OF the shop, when he
became abusive. and fight followed
in which Roberts was knocked down.
