Just across the way is a quaint
little body in the very newest of kid

It is dark blue beaver with big spots
of blue felt stitched about the crown
as if they dropped there by accident.
It's clownish little bonnet, but it's
pretty.

Europe Is Building Steam Propelled
 U-Boats, Navy Hears

Washington, Aug. 29.-Information has reached the navy department that steam submarines are under construc- ton in Europe closely resembling the 25 knot boats designed by the depart ment a year ago.
 The navy general board disapproved the characteristic of the steam boats and Congress was not asked to au- thorize any experimental construction.
 Navy designers turned steam pro- pulsion for submarines to meet the requirements of the 1916 naval ap- propriation bill, which specifics that the three fleet submersibles provided for have a speed of at least 20 knots an hour and if possible of 25 knots. No private builder would undertake thee obstruction of the craft when bids were advertised, since they were unable to find sufficient horsepower in oil engines to give the boats the de- sired speed.
 The department experts had experts prepare the alternative design to which steam turbines supplied power for surface operations. The general board disapproved the design on the ground that the physical difficulties prestend by the necessity of taking down a smokestack would make the boats slow to submerge and en easy prey for enemy destroyers. yufthe
