PROPOSED BATTLE CRUISERS
 WILL BE TEN FEET LONGER
 THAN STEAMSHIP LUSlTANlA
To Be Two Hundred Feet Greater in Length Than Any Fighting Vessel Afloat-Tests Are Made in Basin With Regular Waves Caused By Fans

recording instruments. An Is knot speed can be reached in the tank.
 Indefinite information has reached navy officers that England is building a swift vessel as an experiment which may reach 35 knots hour and which will carry heavy guns and no armor whatever. She will Abe a, new type of scout cruiser rather than a battle craft, it is understood, and have less endurance than battlecruisers
 The navy model basin is now equip- ped with a waVe-making device with which the rolling qualities of a ship design can be tested and also her abil- ity to sustain high speed in rough wa ter It consists of a motor driven fan under water which stirs the contents of the tank into wave motions of any desired frequency or size. At the opposite end of the tank is a beach over which the waves run to be trap ped in the spaceN behind, preventing their return up the tank to interfere with experiments More accurate data ship construction has been given out from the navy tank than from all other similar tanks in the world com bined- It has a capacity of testing d50 or more models annually as com pared to 50 in the British Admiralty tank. Nearly 2,OOO models have been tested at the navy yard and the results carefully tabulated. In slack periods a regular series of test models is pro- duced anof[ the results noted In order that the whole scientific field may be covered. The officer in charge pre- sents the new data gathered before a scientific society each year and pr1- vate. designers can now work out the hull of a merchant ship on the forn1u- las gathered by the government ship builders who send plans of proposed ships to the navy yard where models are constructed and tested. The plant soon will have a capacity of produc- ing and testing one model every twen- ty-four hours.

Washington, Dec. 1.-SOn1e idea Of the size and power of the super bat tie cruisers proposed as part of the new naval program may be gained from the fact that each one would be 800 feet long-more than twice as long as any battleship which partici- pated in the Spanish-American war, more than 200 feet longer than any battleship now af1oat and 10 feet longer than was the Lusitania-
 Tests of hull models for the giant cruisers aNe proceeding at the model basin in the Washington navy yard to determine just how much horse power will be required to drive them 35 knots an hour, the speed fixed by the navy general board. It will take six separate sets of steam turbines, it is understood, operating six propel- lers to attain that pace and the hull designs of the models show huge, square cross section amidships in or der to aceommoda the mass of ma- chinery.
 There is no longer any doubt about the amount of horsepower required to drive a ship of known design at any desired speed. The model basin has done away with speculation on that point. It is a, huge tank several hundred feet long and 30 feet wide, above which runs a travelling bridge arrangement carrying the comphcat- ed mechanism to measure the resist ance offered by a model hull lowed through the water. The average bat7 tIeship model is 20 feet long and is in exact proportion to the ship it is planned to construct. It has been established as a law>o of physics that the power required to~ pull a model through the water at six knots, for instance, will show exactly the force necessary to drive the ship herself at a predetermined rate. The eff feet of any minor change in hull con struction is instantly shown by the

BRITISH BLOCKADE STOPS IMPORTS OF
 THE SWEDISH IRON
Submarines Prevent Germans Getting Much Needed Sup
 ply of Metal.

Stockholm, Sweden, Dec. 1--Swe- dish iron mine owners state that the British submarine blockade will re- suit in a complete stoppage of Ger many's large iron ore importation on from this country. Iron ore is not contraband and could ordinarily be shipped on neutral vessels, but at pres ent all Swedish and other neutral ship ping is otherwise engaged, and no vessels are available
 Figures at hand show to what ex- tent the exportation of iron ore has been concentrated on the Baltic and how shipping has decreased, owing to the risk of capture by British cru1- sers. In the year 1913 3, 180,0OO tons of iron ore were shipped from Narvik and 2,320,0OO tons. in 1914, and, according to reports of the cur rent year, the total shipping of iron ore will not be over 100000 tons. From Lulea, the other hand, the amount of iron ore exported has in years figures to 2,198,000 with one reported Other Baltic ports record like increase.
 The present stoppage of the iron ore trade is a heavy blow to Sweden, but the Swedish press, realizing Eng1and' necessity has indulged in neither b1t- terness nor complaint.
 German ships are now playing a difficult game. Navigating close to the shore in order to be in neutral waters is not easy during the best season, and with the rough seas of winter it will be particularly hazard OuS.

Belgium a Mecca
 For Fly By Night
 Newspaper Owners

Brussels, Dec. Lone of the va- rfous problems with which the Ger man authorities in Belgium have to struggle is the suppression of ''fy- by-night'' newspapers inimfcaI to the German cause which are printed in France. England and Holland and smuggled into the country.
 The Germans have never attempted d to exclude genuine. well known and other countries. The London Times and the Paris Temps are to be pur- chased as easily as the Frankfurter Zeitung and the BerIinerl LokaI An zefger anywhere in German territory What they have tried to do is to suppress the varied assortments of temporary papers published for purely anti-German propaganda pur- poses and intended merely for Belgian consumption.
 The latest of these is the Courier. De La Mouse, a newspaper published in Holland. Copies of it seized in Leige recently bore a date two days in advance of the day when the seizure was made and contained alleged news dated ahead by 24 and AS hours. The stories" were exclusively reports of German defeats, and contained tales of enormous German 1osses@losses so enormous that none of the French and English journals ever attempted to claim that they had been inflicted
 Though the .snews'' in these papers is over and over again proved to be false, the Journals still find a ready sale, and their dispatches are given the same credence as the recurring rumors, based on distant cannonading g that the French, English and Be1gians are approaching Brussels once more

A COLORED OPTIMIST.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 1.-As an ex- ponent of. optimism Granville Harris, colored, Indiana avenue, should not be overlooked.
 Harris suffered a, compound fracture of the right leg when at work on the construction of a building on Massa- chusetts avenue, Aug. 20, and was re- moved to the city hospital He was released from the hospital a, few days ago. That he was again. able to walk and the fact that he had been released from a three months confinement gave him cause to be thankful.
 With the aid of cane he started on his way home. He had not gone far when he slipped on the sidewalk and again fractured his leg An ambu- lance took him back to the hospital.
 Well, I'm thankful it wasn't my neck.'' said Harris, as he was wheeled back to the ward which he had left about 30 minutes before.
