was ever more appropriately named
because grip takes hold of the entire

ancy and collision protectors which Will

the submarine.
Mr.. Lakes device Is technically called
Sponsors" Submarines depend on
their coming towers where air is con
fined. for their lateral stability, but
these towers cause much resistance
when the submarines are speeding
through the waves. Mr.. Lake has ar
ranged on each side of the boat, be
tween the cigar shaped hull and the
superstructure casing, two or more
sponsors" or hollow cylindrical tubes.
also cigar shaped. which are filed with
air or any buoyant substance. These
Sponsors in no way interfere with the
speed Of the boat, and their buoyancy
makes the craft ride higher and ex-
tends the range Of its guns. Naval
constructors consider the invention
one of the most important devised for
submarines during the last decade.

injured last night when stage coach
in which they were riding was wrecked
in runaway accident near Castleton
Corners. They were on their way TO
the New York City Farm Colony, where
they were to give an entertainment for
the inmates in connection with the in
stitution's three-day spring festival.
While the coach was travelling down
grade a mile from the Actors Home
the wagon pole broke. After running
for half a mile the horses dashed of
the road, colliding with telephone
pole. All the occupants were thrown

who escaped with slight bruises.

Won Igel's protestations seemed rea-
sonable, but did not wholly satisfy Mf.
Hassell, who insisted that tho prospec-
tive German tenant make dn affidavit
that he was to carry on an advertising
business, and that the room was to be
used only for that business. There
were other reasons for this scrutiny OF
the Won Igel contract, it is said, but
Mr.. Marshall was unwilling TO make
public their nature.
The United States attorney has
Photographic copy of the affidavit made
by Won lgel and this, il is said, will
prove conclusively before whatever tri-
bunal il may be brought that the room
ut 60 Wall Street was an advertising
agency, a commercial enterprise, and in
no way connected with or part of the
German Embassy, nor was II protected
by or included in the German Embassy.
Another feature of the seizure Of
the Won lgel documents which devel-
oped yesterday was that there were no
papers OF any Importance in Won Igel's
Office safe. When agents of the De-
partment of Justice entered Won Igeis
Office ne rushed TO close the safe. This,
IL was learned, was done TO distract
attention from the discriminating docu-
ments lying on tables and desks pre-
paratory TO being taken TO the German
Embassy in Washington.
The seized papers needed little sort
ing when they were removed from the
suitcases of the raiders. They had
been arranged in Won lgePs "adver-
Using office" in groups and packages,
each group pertaining to some specific
enterprise or scheme of The persons 10
whom the papers related or belonged.
Won lgel and the embassy, it is al
legged, knew that a raid on his office
was imminent, as the Office had been
Swallowed for seven months. IL Is be-
leved that II Agent Baker and his
men had not acted when they did, the
discriminating evidence would have
been beyond their reach that very night
in the German Embassy. whence no
law of the United States could have
removed them.
The embassy has been a hiding place
FOR more propaganda documents than
those housed by Yon Igel. The agres-
ment between the Hamburg American
Line and the imperial government pro-
viding for coaling and supplying food
TO German raiders in the event Of war
was hidden in the embassy. Admission
of this was made by the Hamburg

Albany. April 24.-Pscifsts. who nave

no matter what the size, age. or the use

ships Of the Pacific feet have four eight

with only six, five and three-inch guns.
These compare to the mammoth guns OF

a displacement Of little over 5000 tons.
while the Japanese have battlcshps with a

One can judge best of their real value by
their cost We have three in the Pacific
which cost little over FIVE milions; few
others are onc-and -a-half and two million

of one million dollars Japan has twenty
five fighting ships that have cost from FIVE

More striking still than the difference in
number and differences of grade. stated
separately, is comparison OF the number OF
Japanese battleships that surpass the best
we have in the Pacific. Japan has twenty
ships, every one of which is superior to the
very best we have in the Pacific. What
chance. then, would our tugboats and our
gunboats and our old light armored cruis-
crs have against the Japanese navy'
We have in the Pacific less than twenty

as more smaller ones than we have on any
