TITANIC POORLY EQUIPPED
Former Naval Constructor Points
Out Weaknesses in Design

New York. July 3-Rear Admiral
Richard NJ Watt, former chief con-
structor of the United States navy,
has testified as an expert in the suit
of the Ocean Steam Navigation co..
the White Star Line-to limit its
liabilities for the loss of property and
lives in the Titanic disaster. The
witness said that had the Titanic had
a water-tight deck extending to the
top of her bulkheads she would be
atioat now He also asserted that
longitudinal bulkheads would have
increased the buoyancy o fthe ship.
Admiral Watt gave it as his opin-
ion that il any one was TO blame for
what he termed the Titanic's made
quate construction, it was her own
ers, who he said, were responsible
for her limited safeguards. He add
ed that had the constructors been
given free hand they would have
employed more safety devices.

REcEivERSHIP NEAR
Boston and Maine Cannot Adjust Its
Troubles.

Boston, June 26-That the trustees
of the Boston and Maine railroad and
the representatives of the various
leased lines of that road are unable
TO agree on any reorganization
scheme under the powers given them
by the recent legislature and that
the day of receivership for the Bos-
ton and Maine is near at hand is re-
garded as very probable by men close
to tire financial and transportation
situation in New England.
Since the passage of the Boston
and Maine reorganization bill various
conferences have been had between
the trustees of that road and men in
terested in the leased lines. Special
subcommittee have been appointed
to study ways and means to bring
about n readjustment of the rela-
tions of the company to its subsidi-
aries. Efforts were set under way to
induce Gov Spaulding of New Hamp-
shire to call special session of the
legislature there to pass legislation
which would help out the situation,
In the event that some common
ground could be agreed upon by the
various transportation lines at inter
est, it was assumed that Gov. Spauld-
ing would act In reached and urged
upon him by the various interests,
the situation has been regarded as
hopeless.
TO date all of the conferences and
meetings of the special committees
are said to have resulted in bringing
the parties little nearer together than
they were at the outset.
As result predictions are being
freely made in financial circles that
the trustees have undertaken an i'm
possible task, that the only outcome
is a receivership and that its day is
near at hand

The significance Of the farthing has
always been clearly realized by the big
men of finance. Grant Duff records
how the late Lord Rothschild when
some one expressed contempt of the
difference of farthing in the value of
certain gold coins quietly remarked.
This young man has evidently no ex-
perience of large financial transac-
tions." w. II. Smith, too, the founder
of the famous booksellers, knew the
value of the despised coin When n
customer spoke of striking the odd far
things off his accounts he told him.

Short caree, of a Bio Gun.

In a lecture on modern artillery at
the Royal institution, Lieutenant Colo
mel Hadcock of Elswick contrasted the
life of big guns with that of butterfly.
In the case of the latter he supposed
that twenty-four hours would be old
age. The big gun, on the other hand,
looked everlasting, but it only lived
when it was being fred, and If an in
cessant stream of projectiles could be
poured out from it its active life in
that sense would be only twelve sec.

German attacks launched last night
against the French trenches before
Souchez and in the Labyrinth. Bar
ring the activity of German artillery
between the Meuse and the Moselle
todays fighting was without incident.
Following is the statemnt of the
German Army headquarters:
British attack north of Ypres, on
the road to PillSen, and French at
tack against Souchez were repulsed
in sanguinary engagement.
On both sideso the Courdes-Car-
mes, on the west border of the forest
of lie Pretre, our troops yesterday
morning stormed a hostile position
on front of some 1900 meters.
With heavy losses, the French troops
resisting obstinately, were obliged
to evacuate trench after trench. We
captured about 1000 uninjured
French among them the staff of
battalion, two field guns, four ma
chine guns and three light and four
heavy mine throwing howitzers.
A simultaneous attack on French
blockhouse position south of Norroy,
on the Moselle, was successful The
blockhouse was blown up with the
occupants and defenses which had
been constructed therein. The place
was then, according to our plan,
evacuated by us.
