Washington, o. c., Dec. 27.-
American Consul BristoW, at Port
Said, cabIed today that no warn
ina was given the Japanese liner
Yasuka Maru before she was tor
pedoed and sunk in the Medicter-
ranean last Tuesday. The nation
aIity of the submarine has not
been established. The liner did
not attempt to escape. The sub
marine was unseen unit! after the
liner had been torpedoed, and
there was no flag visible.
AS Germany has given assur-
ances that her submarine COM
manders have been instructed not
to attack liners without warning,
there is disposition to believe
that the submarine was an Aus
trian one. The United States Will
try to establish the identity OF the
submarine.

Fl, YET HE'S A CHILD.

A.. M. Ross Married Girl He Met on
Three Day FurIough From Asylum.
Alexander M. Ross Of New York,
who, although twenty-one years DID,
has the mentality of a child of twelve,
was adjudged incompetent by a sher-
ifs jury.
The purpose Of the inquiry was to
have committee appointed to manage
the young mans property, valued at
more than 100000, which he received
from his late father, Alexander NJ
Ross.
It was held on the petition Of the
incompetent's mother, who told about
her son marrying young woman on a
short acquaintance, having met her
while he was on a three days furlough
from Bloomingdale asylum, where he
had been an inmate for three years.
The marriage was annulled. Dr. Will
liam L. Russell, superintendent Of the
asylum, testified that Ross mentality
would not develop.

Remote District In Alaska Just Learn
ing Of Great Conflict.
Captain A. D. Williams came into
Ruby, Alaska, the other day after a
ten months absence on the extreme
upper reaches of the Novi river and
learned for the first time of the Euro
pean war.
Bob Smith, Jack Larson and Ed Stat
er came out from the same region
awhile ago, ignorant Of the war; Sew
eral .uen who spent the winter across
the divide on the Kuskokwim had not
heard Of the conflict. go
Last fall few men came down the
Porcupine from the Arctic divide, and
people on the Yukon thought it a great
joke when it was learned that the men
from the rim Of the pole had remained
in total ignorance of the belligerent
state Of Europe until reaching the big
river.
With the usual winter expedition Of
the northwest mounted police to Her
schel island and trips of mail carriers
from Nome to Port Barrow, it is prob
able that now most all the white men
and natives on the Arctic slope know
about this world event.

rate and pay if he is faithful and In
dustrious and with possibility Of pro-
motion to the rank of commissioned
officer.
Secretary Daniels has made the naval
service an institution attractive to any
clean cut, self respecting American
youth, and by raising the standard Of
its personnel it is evident he has also
increased the efficiency Of the navy in
the same proportion.
So, again, do say to the critics: Give
credit where credit is due and use your
little hammer with more discrimina-
ton. The present administration is do
ing all it reasonably can to keep the
navy abreast with the ever increasing
demands Of efficiency and adequacy.
We lack battle cruisers, it is true, but
this is due to the shortsightedness Of
former administrations. With this sin
gle exception our navy today is ex-
celled by no other navy so far as num-
Der of ships, organization Of fighting
units and the esprit de corps of its
personnel is concerned.
1t is well, therefore, not to take too
seriously irrelevant statements made
about the unpreparedness Of the navy
by men who have their own axes to
grind and who seem to delight in en-
barrassing the administration at time
when it should have the backing and
support of every patriotic and loyal
citizen.

At LEAST $4,000 MEN

Mightiest Organization Of War In tho

Krupp's is more than the greatest

mightiest single industrial organiza-
ton that has ever existed. Never in

Furness rolled into one, and more.
Before the war the company en-
ployed more than 10000 men. About
10000 were engaged in the gigantic
steel works at Essen, where the ~
centimeter monsters come from, and
where daily there streams forth tre-
mendous volume Of guns and munitions
for Germany's armies. Ten thousand
men were digging for coal in their
mines in Germany. Fifteen thousand

5000 miners dug ore in Spain.
Day and night in Essen work goes
on without ceasing. In the great works
spread over 1900 acres, 235 Of them
under roof, at least $4,000 men toll in
shifts Of eight hours each. Some six
ty factories make up the organization.
Forty miles Of standard railway link
them together and carry their products
out. Thirty miles of narrow lines are
required as auxiliary for the shops.
More than $50 miles Of cable and wire
and over 600 telephone stations and
twenty telegraph stations are needed to
facilitate communication throughout
the works. There are more than 300
steam boilers to generate the steam for
the 1900 different machines and 1924
electric motors at work.
And the whole gigantic concern has
sprung from a humble cottage factory

AERIAL TORI Edo
BOAT PATENTED !
Consists Of Aerop|ane Equipped
With Whitehead ProjectiIe.
COULD ENTER ANY PORT.

Rear Admiral Fiske Inventor Of New
Device-PIan to Guide tho Missile Of
Destruction by Radio From Another
ACCOMPLISHMENTS Think Well Of
Scheme. w..
An aerial torpedo boat for attack on
ships in protected harbors is projected
in patents just issued to Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske, now attached to the
navy war college, but formerly aid for
operations to Secretary Daniels.
The plan contemplates equipping a
monster aeroplane, similar to number
now under construction in this coun-
try for the British government, with
Whitehead torpedo Of regulation navy
type.
Swooping down at distance of five
sea miles from the object Of attack,
the air craft would drop its deadly
passenger into the water just as it
would have been launched from a de-
stroyer. The impact sets the torpedo's
machinery in motion, and it is of at
speed Of more than forty knots an
hour toward the enemy ship.
Could Attack In Fortified Harbor.
Admiral Fiske believes that the fly
ing torpedo boat would make it posi-
BILE to attack a feet even within
landlocked harbor. The range Of the
newest navy torpedoes is 10000 yards,
and even the older types will be er-
fective at 1000 yards. Carried on
huge aeroplane, the 1000 pound weap-
on would be taken over harbor defenses
at an altitude safe from gunfire Once
over the bay, the machine would glide
to within ten or twenty feet of the
water, the torpedo rudders would be
set and it would be dropped to do it's
work while the aeroplane rose and sped
away.
Aeroplanes to carry ton Of dead
weight have been perfected by sew
eral countries. Russia is said to have
several that will carry twenty men
and the new British air craft probably
will have a similar capacity.
Wireless Guides Torpedo.
1t is said to be possible that type
of radio controlled torpedo might be
employed, one aeroplane carrying the
torpedo and another carrying the wire
less machinery to control the missiles
flight through the water. It is pointed
out that Admiral Fiske secured patents
on such a method Of control in 1890
when he was lieutenant in the navy.
They are said to be so broad and far
reaching as to underlie all subsequent
development Of radio control devices.
my invention" said the application
fled by Lieutenant Fiske before the
battle of Manila was fought, Els espe-
cially applicable to automobile tor
pedoes and makes it possible to con-
troll the movements of a torpedo with
great certainty from shore, from the
deck Of a ship or the like"
Since the aerial torpedo plan was
advanced reports have come that Ger
man engineers were at work with a
somewhat similar scheme. It is pro-
posed to drop from aeroplanes a tor
pedo that can be guided by radio i'm
pulses during it's fall and sent with
absolute certainty to it's mark.

WHO RULES IN YUcATAN?
New York Supreme Court Must Decide
in Suit.

New York, Oct. 4.-The supreme court
Of New York viii be called on TO decide
whether or not the defacto government
of General Carranza is the leading gov
eminent of the state of Yucatan in con.
nection with a suit filed Saturday on
behalf of the Carranza government Of
Yucatan and previous suit filed by
Manuel Yriboyen Lara, farmer secre-
tary- general of the state. Both suits
seek to recover 100000 pesos, which, il
is alleged, Abel Ortiz Argumedo, for
mer governor of Yueatan, took with him
when he left his state last March.
Lara contends in his suit that he rep.
resents the lawful authorities Of Yucca
tan and that the Carranza government
is not the constitutional government Of
the state. The suit filed Saturday al
leges that the Carranza government is
the legal government of the state, asks
that Argumedo give an accounting, and
petitions for injunctions restraining a
bank and a safety deposit company from
turning over TO Argumedo any funds or
