small submarines, destroyers. gunboats, hospital ships and ammunition ships are practically completed now and will take only few weeks after appropriations for the architects to lay the completed plans before the builders.
 PLANS UNDER WAY
 The scout cruiser and battle cruiser sometime to complete An illustration of some of the problems involved became known today in regard to designs for the scout cruisers. The general board fixed 30 knots an hour as the minimum speed for these eyes of the fleet. Since design CTS began planning the ships, however, they have hit upon a way to produce S5-knot craft of enormous cruising radius. As now planned, the scouts will far out class anything ever contemplated by any naval power
 The scouts will employ geared steam turbines, the system now installed in the most successful destroyers ana which has been found best adapted to craft smaller than battle cruisers for which | speed, however, these engines Will de- velop less than per cent of their horse power although their consumption of coal is enormous.
 To meet this problem it is planned to equip the scouts with light power elec- tric drive for cruising, the high power turbine plants being idle until they are needed for a swift dash
 The 1917 destroyers also will be of s knots speed instead of 32, the present standard.
 MORE SPEED POSSIBLE
 The whole question of speed has un- dergone complete change in the de- partmental engineering bureaus in the last few months. The standard long maintained by the engine designers was that they could provide horse power in the ratio of 20 horse power to the ton engine weight. This was far below the figure set by British and other foreign engine designers and Tn part accounts for the slower speed of American battle power per ton some months ago and re- gently the possibility of 45 horse power per ton has been said to be possible through new engine designs. With the decision to install electric propulsion or battleships 43 and A. soon to be ait down. half knot was added to thei speed. They will make 21 knots undel normal conditions, despite the fact tha they will carry approximately greate armor and underwater protection thal any previous ships.
 After long deliberation and much stud, and experimental maneuvering at the na val war college it has been determined that the additional knot or so whici foreign heavy ships have does not affec the battle efficiency of the squadrons a. compared to American craft The addi tional cruising radius and armor of tho American ships has been shown to nor, than offset the speed difference. Engineering officers of the navy be- lieve that delay in the construction o1 battleships 43 and A has been more thar justified by the increased protection against torpedoe attack worked out fol them It is confidently stated that they are 50 per cent better defended below the water line than any battleship now afloai or projected.

"As stated in my letter of March

to hear that conditions were not IS
they had supposed,
"Of course, such items in the press as

NEWSPAPERS TO LEAD
ALL GREAT REFORMS
P. H. Darcy Calls At
tentiOn to Tremendous
Responsibility Of Editors

"The intellect of the country is cen
tered in the newspapermen and the at
torneys," said 2. II. D 'Arcy, a Salem
lawyer, in an address to the students Of
journalism in Guild hall at the Univer-
sity yesterday afternoon. Mr.. darcy
came to Eugene expressly 10 speak on
I" Erin in Poetry and Song at the as
sembly yesterday morning, but was in
duced to talk to the law and newspaper
students also.
Newspapers of the future will lead
all great reforms and you students who
enter the profession will be the mould
ers OF public opinion. No class of peo-
pie WELD more influence than the Jour
nalists.
Lawyers and journalists are the
broader minded men, as class, than
the men of any other profession. They
are capable of gTasping new ideas In
the days when men and women were
burned for witchcraft in MassacAu-
setts, men of botn these calings were
barred from acting as jurors.
editorial success depends more on
the judicious use Of the shears than on
the eloquence of the pen. If one will
watch Che editorial pages that are the
product of the greatest writer's and clip
out the best editorials success is his. u
Mr.. darcy started working on the
Salem Statesman when ne was u years
old. He says that he was so small tnat
he had to stand on a box tor each the
type eases. According to Mr.. D'Arcy
the men on the paper earned high salar
les but spent them all on Saturday
nights playing poker with the editor
who was past master Of the game
There were no union laws affecting the
Salem papers then but only one strike
occurred. This was when the editor
refused to pay the printers on Saturday
afternoon In the evening he rliseC
the money and about II O'Clock al
night the men went back to work.
Mr.. darcy entered Willamette uni
versity at the age Of II. Saturdays anC
the time after school hours, he speut
in earning money. He was graduated
at the age of % and after two years Oh
reading law, was admitted to the STATE
bar.
