WILL SPECIALIZE IN SUBMARINES.

WASHINGTON. May 27-With unoF- fcial reports indicating that half of the twelve submarines assigned to the war game of the Atlantic fleet were at least partially ineffective, Secretary Daniels announced his determination to make a thorough investigation and find the cause, if possible, and ask to remedy for too frequent breakdowns of underwater craft.
 Secretary Daniels said: with the growing importance Of submarines l feel too much attention cannot be paid to this branch of the service, and every effort of the department will be directed towards improving the rec ords of submarines in the recent man. euyers. or twelve which came to New York. one was unable to proceed and various others suffered breakdoWns, necessitating repairs of greater or less importance which took them out of the game for varying lengths of time In the meanwhile plans for 26 new submarines authorized by the last congress are being pushed with all possible speed. These include two more sea-going types which We will try to make the last word in such craft. All the submarines in trouble were of the old style designed before 1912

CANCER cOMMoNEsT WHERE COUSINS WED.

Speaking of the possible hereditary tendency of cancer. Dr. Charles B. Davenport of the Eugenics Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor. N. r., says of ihe fact that the incidence of cancer is highest in Maine: "I have no doubt that this is due to tn epresence of one or more races in Maine which are non-immune to cancer"
 Dr. Davenport's studies indicate that resistance to cancer is a positive Cdominant trait and that the non. resistance appears in children only when both parents belong to a non. resistant race. And thls result is commonest, other things being equal where cousin marriages are common est, because that makes it praboble that if one parent belongs to a can cer race. the other-the cousin-win belong to the sam ecancer race. Now fin rural Maine cousin marriages are extremely frequent, especially in the islands of the coast. and here we have the conditions for the result-- the high incidence of numbers of the cancer race in an inbred community"

AUSTRIA FEARED BURIAL OF HER
 AMBITION
Dual Monarchy Feared That Adriatic and Mediterranean Would Have Become Mere Italian Lakes.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27- Austria Hungary's reason for reject
 ing the demands ol Italy i5 sad iC be her view that it would have result ed in an effective checamatinp ol her commercial and her political in terests on the Adriatic and the Med iterranean, almost as thoroughly as were her aegean ambitions destroyed following the successful struggle ot the Balkan States with Turkey and the establishment of a Greater Ser yia," says a bulletin issued today by the National Geographic Society, which discusses the Italian demands as reported from Rome. These de, mands, the Dual Monarchy conteded. were planned to give Italy strategic control, naval and commercIal of the Adriatic. and also that tfc-r accept ance by Vienna would have struck a vital blow at the Monarchy's future.
 As minimum concessions. Italy asked the cession of the --roNinCe of Trent in the Austrian Tyrol; the cos- sion of Eastern Friuell east to Nabre- sina; the formation of a State entirely independent of Austria out of the ter rltories, Triest and Istria; cession to Italy of the dominant islands off the lowed Dalmatian coast, Curzola. Lis sa, Lesina Brazza, and Maleda, the abandonment of Austrian interests in Albania and Austrian acknowledge ment of Italian sovereignty over the Albanian port and great hand-locked bay, Avlona These concessions would have changed the status of the Mediterranean from that of an Austro- Italian lake to that of au italian lake
 Such parts of the Dual Monarchys coast line as Italy would have left in its undisputed possession is territory that Seryia hopes 10 get some day in the course of her natural expansion. To meet the minimum demands eX- pressed by Rome, Austria must have surrendered her greatest seaport, Triest. the New York of Southern Europe. together with her principal naval base, Pola, at the apex of Istria. upon whose development the Dual Monarchy has invested many millions Of dollars, and must have abandoned all hope of the strategic value of the Dalmation coast with the cession 10 Italy of the large island that screen it, Deprived of her Adriatic seacoast. her only outlet to free water Austria Hungary felt that she would finally sink to the importance of a portless, Servia
 Besides Italy's rivalry with Austria for leadership upon the Mediterranean 'irrodentiSm' played 6 strong part "a tho determination of her demands. irFedeHtisp' is the desire of vorious

 Count Von Bernstorff German em- bassador formally presented mem orandum to the State Department stating the mines laid uy Germany were of such character as to be- come innocuous when unloosened.
 Previously, the British government had given the United States similar assurances The laying of mines for the sole purpose of intercepting com merce was borbidden by the Hague convention but there has been no gen. eral rule by which the prohibition could be interpreted as 1t is claimed that all mines used in rne presen, war are laid for offensive or defensive purpose,
