GREAT SPEED CRUISERS
EXPERTS LAY PLANS FOR SQUAD
RON or FoUR-cAPA5LE OF
IS KNOTS HOURLY.
Weight To Be $4,000 Tons For Battle
Type-TweIVe 14-lneh Guns sug-
gested BY Naval Board.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-A squadron of four
battle cruisers, to be armed more
heavily and to have more speed than
the battle cruisers of any other navy,
will be recommended to Congress at
the approaching session. This type,
it was learned, has been perfected by
naval experts, and the long expert
mental period, during which the Ma
val Board opposed the building of bat
tie cruisers has passed. 1t is not
known by L'g experts whether Con-
gress, or whether the President and
Secretary will be willing to have four
of these ships authorized at this ses-
sion of Congress, because of the finan-
cial pinch, but it is strongly hoped
that the construction of four will be
authorized, because the ships, accord
ing to naval strategy, can be used
most effectively in squadrOns of four.
The ships are to be of $4,000 tons, or
as heavy as the bigger of the Ameri-
can super-dreadnoughts, with IL four
inch guns, and are to be able to make
speed of 35 knots an hour, much
faster than the battle cruisers which
took part in the engagement in which
the Blucher was sunk The 14-inch
guns of the cruisers will have a range
equal to, if not greater, than that of
the 15-inch guns being used on Eng
lish battle cruisers, and are consid-
cred by experts of the Navy Depart
ment to be much superior to the 10
inch guns.

FILM TRUST IS HIT
U. S. COURT ORDERS MOVING
PICTURE COMBINE TO
DISSOLVE.
VIOLATED ANTITRUST LAW
Decision Rendered at Philadelphia
Says That Contracts Were Con-
spiracy in Restraint of Trade and
Therefore Illegal.

Philadelphia, Oct. 4.-The United
States district court on Friday decided
the antitrust dissolution suit against
the Motion Picture Patents company
in favor of the government.
The Motion Picture Patents COM
pany is a holding concern. 1t was
charged ty the government that it
controlled most of the moving picture
patents in the United States and also
had large interest in the American
rights in foreign patents. The suit
was heard over a year ago by Judge
Oliver B. Dickson, whose decision
is a sweeping victory for the United
States department of justice.
1t was charged by the government
that the Motion Picture Patents COM
pany and other defendants were en-
gagged in interstate and foreign com
merce in motion pictures, films, cam
eras, exhibiting machines and other
articles and apparatus used in the
motion picture art, in violation of the
antitrust law.
The court in its decision says that
all the contracts enumerated in the
governments petition and the combt-
nation therein described were a con-
spiracy in restraint of trade and there
fore illegal and that they constituted,
with the exception of the operations
of the Melies Manufacturing company,
n IN toll nf hn onff-
trust laws.
Defendants named in the original
petition of complaint besides the Mo-
tion Picture Patents company are:
General Film company, Thomas A.
Edison, Inc. George Kleine of Chicago,
Lubin Manufacturing company, Pathe
Freres, Selig Polyscope company of
Chicago, Vitagraph company, Frank L..
nedy, William Pelzer, Samuel Long,
]. A. Berst of Chicago, Siegmund Lu-
bin, CASTOR Melies, Albert E. Smith.
George X. Spoor of Chicago. w. N.
Selig of Chicago.
With reference to the Melies COM
pany, the court said:
The Melies Manufacturing COM
pany has denied (as have all the de-
fendants) that it was in any sense a
party to the combination charged.
We have gone over all the proofs
without finding any which go to max
ing good the charge against this par
ticular defendant. 1t is, therefore,
excluded from the findings made and
the petition as against it is dismissed" "

NEW SUCCESS TOLD.
FRENCH TROOPS GAIN GROUND
IN THE CHAMPAGNE
DISTRICT.
HILL NO. 1871 is CAPTURED
Berlin Admits Position Has Been Lost,
But Insists That counter-Attack
Against the British Is Gaining-12t
BIG German Guns Taken.

London, Oct 2.-Continuing the ter
rife offensive which has netted the
allies almost daily gains for the past
week and has resulted in the greatest
loss of life and prisoners of any stmi-
lar period in the entire war, the French
troops in Champagne district on
Thursday again broke through the
German lines west of Tahure Height
and at Hill No. 191, capturing the lat
ter strategic position and rendering
almost the entire German railroad
from Cernay to Somme-Py useless.
Berlin officially admits the loss of
Hill 191 and the penetration of the
German lines southeast of Souchez.
The greatest French gains continue
in the Champagne region north OF
Mesnil and farther to the east be-
tween Hill 100, north of Massiges, and
the road from Ville-sur-Tourbe to
Cernay, followed by bayonet charges
More prisoners were taken in this ac-
ton, according to Paris.
The French statement admits the
success of German counter-attacks at
L'Ouvrage de la Defaite, but declares
second attack was repulsed with
heavy losses to the Germans.
The recount of booty taken in this
fighting since September rs puts the
total of field pieces and heavy guns
captured from the Germans at 12l
In the Champagne district it now
appears that the French are directing
their heaviest attack upon the great
German defensive works at Tahure,
which command the lateral railroad
along the German front. More than
500 French guns are pouring solid
shot and shells into this fortification.
But while the French are reciting
further gains in the Champagne and
southeast of Souchez, the British ac-
tion on the extreme western end of
the line has been slowed down. Ber-
lin claims steady if slow progress of
the counter-attack against the British,
including the blowing up of two Brit
ish companies south of the Menin-
Ipres road.
All eyes are no. fixed on the region
around Lens, northern France, where
the Franco-British pincers are closing
in slowly and irresistibly on the Ger
MANS
This district of France is known as
the black country" Lens being the
heart of the coal-mining industry
Eastward of Loos, which lies north
of Lens, the British have pushed on
considerable distance on La Bassee
road and now occupy the entire oval
plateau of which Hill No. 70 is the
eliminating point. The British thus
dominate both the city of Lens and
the plains surrounding II.

Hundreds Enjoy
Bainly Weather

Next Sunday will be the first day
OF spring. but no matter how fine
day it may be 1t will have nothing
on yesterday In the way of weather.
Even the Sundays of next June will
have to go some to be more enjoyable
than yesterday. Today is even finer
than yesterday, but one fine Sunday
finds more appreciation than a dozen
fine Mondays, and yesterday will be
remem pered longest.
At this time last year the tempera-
ture was much the same. but there
was snow on the ground and things
were much different in many ways.
AT noon yesterday the mercury stood
at 40 just above where 1t stood
year ago. but in 1914 that was as
high as ii went that day, while yester-
day it kept on imbing until
o'c .ock in the afternoon and even
the early evening was quite as balmy
as March ever permits evenings to
be.
The parks and avenues were filled
all day with pedestrians. and many
went to the shore. At Atlantic City
a crowd of $4,000 was reported and at
Asbury Park more than 5000 were to
be found along the Boardwalk. At
Coney Island and other resorts near 1t
unusual early throngs were reported.
The first suggestion of green was
shown by the willow trees, and the
grounding came in for much favor
