S[OWES AMONG
WORLD POWE2S
Rep. Gardner Declares BlueCh-
er, Sunk Because She Was
Too Slow, Was Faster Than
Any American WarShip.

WASHINGTON. Jan %. - The
United States navy is slower than the
slowest" The fastest battleship or
armored cruiser which the United
States has ever owned or owns today,
built or building, is slower than the
slowest of the nine big warships
which fought last Sunday in the North
sea The Bluecher which was sunk
because she was five knots slower
than her companions was faster than
any vessel in our navy today, built or
building, except the small fry. like
destroyers, and scouts"
These declarations were made today
by Rep. A Z. Gardner of MassaChu-
setts in a speech in the house on the
navy appropriation bill He submitted
TO the house what he called a navy
catechism-"
Three Of the five British battle
cruisers, the Tiger, the Lion and the
Princess Royal" he said, carried
more powerful guns than any which
have ever been carried by an Amer
lean ship, except the dreadnaught
Texas and the dreadnaught New York.
Great Britain has % battleships built
and building which carry as powerful
guns as the Lion and the Princess
Loyal. We have, built and building.
just six vessels which carry such
powerful guns"
Part of the Catechism.
Here are some of the points of Rep.
Gardner's "catechism":
Q-What is the general board of
the navy?
Alt is an advisory board com
Of hn oh Of
the navy.
Q-What do we do with the general
boards advice?
Ave chuck it in the waste
basket, year after year.

year?
At advises four battleships. i6
destroyers, three fleet submarines, 10
coast submarines, four scout cruisers.

Q-What are we going to do with
the general boards advice this year?
Ave are going TO chuck 1t into
the waste-basket as usual. TheScOm-
mitee has more than cut the program
in two, except in the matter OF sub
marines.
Q-Is the ship building program
which the general board advises sup
posed sufficient to insure our safety
against England?
A-By no means, il is supposed To
be sufficient to insure our safety
against any nation except Great
Britain.
How Does Navy Compare.
Q--Is our navy ships for ship as
good as foreign navies?
A-NO one knows. The secretary
OF the navy says So but recently.
when an attempt was made TO mobil-
ize the u submarines which consti-
tute the flotilla for the Atlantic coast
It found that only one OF them could
dive.
Against the Mexican fleet. yes:
against a formidable enemy. no.
Q-What do you suggest. Rep.

Al suggest that We have an in
dependent commission TO tell the
country the facts and advise US what
we ought to do I advise every man
in the house and senate to vote for
the full program of the general board
OF the navy and | advise him to put
his foot down on this untimely cut
proposed by the house committee on
naval affairs"

Says Tombstone
 Is On Up Grade

Tombstone is on the up grade and will resume her for mer importance as a mining center and city. in the belief of C B. Tarbell, oldtimer in Cochise county and now engaged in the uuder- taking business in the county seat. MT. Tarbell arrived here yesterday for a business stay.
 T base this opinion upon the fact that the Copper Queen company IS now working force of about 200 men on its properties and is gradually put ting few more to work all the time About half of these workmen are Mexi- cans. Work on the company's 4O- stamp mill is advancing rapidly and it will-Degin operating sometime in March, lccording to present calculations. It is currently reported that the mill em . ploy about 40 men.
 While there is nothing official about the report, it is generally understood that the mill is only a temporary and experimental affair, constructed pri- mariiy to test the low grade ores which abound in the district. Should the mill prove as successful as it is believed it will, larger mills will be constructed and steam shovels put to work on the vast low grade deposits. Everyone is hopeful and we arc all confident of the future.
 The company is saying little but it IS noticeable that ii IS gradually acquir- ing as much property in the camp as possible. We figure that it would rot do this for nothing There is some good reason and definite plan behind the move"
 Mir. Tarbell discussed county seat removal. but as is usual could not see the claims of this end of the county, stating that Tombstone is centrally To- sated geographically, and that most of the travelling is now done by automo- bile, hence it is located conveniently

Why Animals Change Color.

As has long been known, the chame- leon and several other cold-blooded creatures are able to change color at will Science ascribes this ability to minute cells situated In the cutis and called chromatophores. They are filled with the pigments of the various col ors. and capable of contracting or en- largement while the process of color change is going on.
