NEW YORK. Oct. 5.-If the Ger
man estimate IL correct that the
French have suffered 10000 casual
ties in the present western often
sive, and the British have lost co.
900, then. unquestionably. the ef.
forts to force the German lines In
Artois and Champagne must be
considered failure.
The measure OF such successes az
the Allies have just won in the
west Is the casualty lists. A tenn
porary cessation OF an attack tells
nothing vital by itself. II would
be quite normal for the Allies to
cease their offensive for q moment
In order to consolidate positions
that have been won and to prepare
for . new artillery assault.
If. however. the brief gains have
been very costly to the assaiiants.
there can be little expectation that
q renewal Of the offensive will be
successful. A loss Of nearly 1000
men is far too high price to pay
for the small areas that have been
won In Champagne and Artois. Had
this number of casualties carried
the British and the French within

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-A new
policy to keep secret from Euro
pean countries naval inventions of
the United States has been adopted
by the administration. Naval inven-
tons of ordnance, propulsion and
hull construction, particularly, will
be kept secret as far as possible.
While the navy is compelled to
disclose such innovations as the
new super-battle cruiser able to
speed 40 miles an hour. the scientific
advances making such ships posi-
BILE will be kept a closely guarded
secret.
The policy Of protection" as the
new plan IL now popularity called
among navy oficials. has already
been instituted in preparing specii-
cations for the two new battleships.
Nos. 43 and A. for which bids will
soon be taken. Radical innovations
In hull construction for these new
dreadnoughts have been designed
by naval constructors. The specii-
cations will be given. under oath OF
secrecy, TO a very few bidders and
will also go out in sections for sub
contractors.
The new hull designs are said to
provide for novel defense against
/ submarines. II Is reported that
thin LAYER OF armor plate below the
water line with double.shelled hulls.
are proposed, the extra weight being
equalized by providing thinner armor
plate over the bow and stern OF the
battleshops and at points where
shot would not strike a vital section.
Extra torpedo tubes for both de-
tense and oftense. two hydroplane
platforms and anti.aircraft guns are
other reported new equipment.
Secretary OF the Navy Daniels
said today he would confer further
with President Wilson before decid-
ing how many super-battle cruisers
Of the 40 miles an hour type shall
be provided. Two battle cruisers
and two new dreadnoughts proba-
bly, will be recommended.
Construction OF considerable
number OF scout cruisers fast and
lightly armed. is also contemplated
by Daniels. Submarines, probably
two score, will, OF course. be recon
mended.
The new battle cruisers. II was
reported today. will burn both oil
and coal, with the latter however. q
reserve emergency fuel. Eight 1s-
inch guns or IL 14.inch 50-caliber
guns OF the new type being perfect
ed at the Indian Head. Md. proving
grounds will probably be their main
battery.
