DEADL|EST Of
SEAMONSTERS
NOW PLANNED
NEW DEVICE TO CARRY TORPE-
DOES AND HIGH POWER GUNS
- WILL FIGHT EITHER UNDER
OR ABOVE WATER.

Washington, July 31.-A naval mon
ster of q startling new type which
will be able either to operate at the
highest speed and match gun for
gun with light cruisers and destroy
ers in battle on the surface of the
sea or at 4 moments notice to sink
below the surface and lie in wait
with the deadly torredo should a
dreadnaught or battle cruiser of the
enemy appear, Is outlined in a paper
submitted by Lieutenant Commander
Charles Courtney of the United States
destroyer OBrien in a letter to the
board of experts OF the navy league.
The paper will be submitted to the
new board of scientific experts of the
navy department and probably will be
one of the first Gubjects of investiga-
tion by that body.
According to Courtney's paper the
new vessel will combine the types of
the present submarine with that of
the destroyer or scout cruiser. 1t
will be of several thousand tons dis
placement and will be able to keep
the sea in any weather and carry suf-
ficient fuel and supplies to make
cruises of several thousand miles.
Ordinary in Appearance.
She will carry a heavy battery OF
rapid fire guns for use on the sur
face and will be driven while run
ming above water by high speed tur'
bines and steam boilers heated by
crude oil furnaces and will have a
speed of twenty-four knots or more.
While running on the surface she
will have the appearance of the ordi-
nary type of large destroyer or scout
cruiser Under water she will be
driy en- by electric motors and stor-
age batteries at speed of twelve or
fifteen knots.
When it is desired to submerge
her all that will be necessary will be
turn of the throttle, which will
extinguish the oil fires and throw the
electric motors INTO gear, Then her
guns and smokestacks will be revolv
ed on their hinges and lowered into
recesses in the deck fitted to receive
them; the matches will be hermeti
oally sealed, water will be admitted
into her water ballast compartments
and she will be ready to dive in re
sponse to the impulse Of her vertica
planes.

WILL URGE STRIKE
IN ALL WAR PLANTS
Machinists' Leader, Angered
by Talk Of German Money,
Wants WalkOut.
PLANS QUICK ACTION

President ]. ]. Keppler Of the
International Association of Machinists.
who will appear before the executive
board of the association to-day In WASH
iEston, Intends to ask the board to call
a strike In all arms and ammunition
factories in the United States and in all
CHER plants where the machinists and
metal workers are making a demand for
the eight hour day n higher wage
scales.
Mr.. keppler before leaving for WASH
trgton last night said that he would
pTt pose this action because the National
Metal Trades Association had refused
q grant the demands of the machinists
and had brought pressure to bear on
many large firms throughout the country
to prevent eight hour agreements.
MANY of the firms that have con-
s,nted TO make agreements with us are
afraid to have their names announced
for fear that they will be proceeded
against by the National Metal Trade
Association" said Mr.. Keppler. These
films will eventually break away from
tie association rather than be at war
with the machinists' association.
"The National Metal Trades Associa-
tor Is trying to create the impression
upt It's members nave control OF all
munitions and arms contracts, but they
Will soon find hat the firms which are
making agreements with the machinsts
ana cutting loose from the association

The communication to the Governor

emphatic to the assertion OF Mr.. Bald
win that "all arguments against State
fund insurance are wholly worthless,
and in point Of fact they are only
con5ured up for the purpose of confus-
ing and disturbing employers In order
to mulct them for agents commissions
and stockholders profits" Appended to
the complaint are several arguments
calculated to prove the advantage of
private insurance as against the State
variety.
Mr.. Baldwin said yesterday that Gov.
Whitman had forwarded him a copy OF
the letter n that he would answer II
formally in due course of time.
