MAY NOW CHANGE OUR
SUBMARINE WAR PLANS
Nets, Underwater Telephones, and
New Ideas on Mines Are Being
Worked Out.

Washington.-The American naval
policy for the coming year, tentative
plans for which recognized the sudden
development of European submarine
warfare and make provision for a
large number of under-sea boats, will
be broadly affected by the British ad-
miralty's development of successful
means for combating the submarine
peril.
Confidential reports to the United
States government disclosing that the
destruction Of from so to rs German
submarines had been effected by the
use of nets, submarine telephones,
new types Of mines and by covering
the submarine area with fleet of
thousands of high-speed motorboats
armed with rapid-fire guns, have full
filled the convictions of American ma
val experts that means would be found
successfully to combat under-sea war
fare. Likewise these reports have
reaffirmed the faith of American ex.
perts in the all-big-gun ship-dread.

against each Of the bank officials,
who are charged with making an affi-
davit which set forth that the bank
never had engaged in stock market
transactions and had no connections
with Lewis Johnson & Co., defunct
firm of local stock brokers.
Attorneys for Secretary McAdoo and
Comptroller Williams contended at the
trial of the banks suit that the books
of Lewis Johnson & Co. showed many
transactions in the names of the bank
officials named.
The indictments are sequel to the
suit of the bank which alleged that
Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller
Williams, because Of personal animus
toward some Of the banks officers,
had 'conspired to injure the institu.
ton by Withdrawing public deposits,
making extraordinary demands for
special reports and finally by impos-
ing fine of $4,000 upon the bank for
failure to make certain report call
ed for by the comptroller.

The India Rubber World says: 1T
is estimated that there are 1,623,555
pleasure cars equipped with pneu-
matte tires now in use in the United
States; but as it is always wise to
be conservative when venturing into
statistics, we will call the number an
even 100000. Assuming that the
average cost of properly firing a car
is $25 a wheel, or 500 for the car, we
have an aggregate cost Of tire equip
ment for pleasure cars Of 100000, 900.
But what this paragraph is particu-
larly concerned with is that fifth tire
which is not in use, but which is
necessitated by the always impending
puncture. Those 100000 extra tires
strapped to the side or to the back OF
the car as sort Of insurance policy
against possible nails or broken glass
cost the car owners $40,OOO,0OO a
year."
