SUBMARINE THAT SUNK
THE ITALIAN CRUISER is
LIKE THE AMERICAN CT

Washington, July 21-The Austrian
submarine which sank the Italian
cruiser Giuseppe Garbaldi last Sun
day in the Adriatic sea is an exact du-
plica1e, il was learned Tuesday of the
United States submarine C-1, one of
the Oldest and slowest underwater
fighters Of the American navy now in
commission. The Austrian boat was
built under Holland patents, bu, the
engine and other parts We're con-
structed in this country some years
ago and shipped TO Austria to be in
stalled. A sister ship recently sank
an Italian transport.
The CT. which was commissioned in
1908 and is now in service at Panama.
has gasoline engines for surface opera
ton and a cruising radius Of less than
1000 miles. Since her construction oil en-
gines have been developed for use in
submarines, and the latest types design
ed for the American navy have radius
of more than 5000 miles. The CHS en-
gines develop approximately 500 horse
power and she has a speed Of 1os knots
on the surface and 10 knots submerged.
The big cruiser submarine Schley, now
building for the United States navy, will
have nearly 1000 horsepower, a speed of
probably . knots on the surface and
displacement Of 1000 tons, being more
than three times the size of the CT.

New Kind Of Steel.

According to Consul John NJ. Savage.
who is stationed at Sheffield, England,
a firm in that city has introduced a
stainless steel. which is claimed to be
nonrusting, cnstainable and untarnish-
able. This steel is said TO be especial
ly adaptable Cor table cutlery, as the
original polish is maintained after use,
even when brought in contact with the
most acid foods. and il requires only
ordinary washing to cleanse.
1T is claimed" writes Mr.. Savage
steel retains a keen edge much like
that of the best double-sheer steel,
and, as the properties claimed are in
herent in the steel and not due to any
treatment, knives can readily be sharp
ened on a steel or by using the or
binary cleaning machine or knifeboard
Ii is expected it win prove great
boon. especially to large users Of cut
lery, such as hotels, steamships and
restaurants.
The price of this steel is about IS
cents a pound for ordinary uses, which
is about double the price of the usual
steel for the same purpose 1t also
costs more to work up, SO that the in
itial cost Of articles made from this
new discovery, il is estimated, will be
about double the present cost: but il
is considered that the saving of labor
to the customer will more than cover
the total cost of the cutlery in the
first twefvemonth''

MEXICO LEADERS
FIND HARVEST IN
FOOD SITUATION

Washington. July N.-In 3 report to
the war department today on efforts to
relieve famine conditions in Mexico,
Brig. Gen. Devol, general manager of the
American Red Cross, declared that while
non-combatants were suffering for want
Of food, military leaders of both the Vii
Ia and Carranza factions had reaped a
harvest from export taxes on Mexican
grown food products shipped into the
United States.
Both Generals Hernandez and Gen.
Villa" said the report. prohibited the
purchase of food supplies in Mexico for
relief Of the Mexican people. stating that
any such supplies must be purchased out
side of Mexico. The reason given is that
the food in Mexico is required TO feed
the Mexican soldiers. The real reason,
in my opinion. is that there is military
export tax, or. in other words, Is a
charge on all explorations amounting on
the northern border TO 500 10 $500 for
each car that crosses the border. This
money is paid direct to The military
leaders.
The methods Of exaction used by the
leaders Of all factions appear to be ident-
ical. All commercial supplies and indus
tries are exploited for the benefit Of the
military. Owing 10 the political and
physical condition in Mexico, there ap-
pears to be no future for adequate relief
even if the American people would con-
tribute for this purpose. This. howev-
er, they have only done to very limited
extent to this date
