LOCAL MAN IHVEhTS
SUBMARINE CHASER
81 Year Old Wilmingtonian
Says Craft Will Put u
Boats Out of Business
TO SUBMIT MODEL TO
SECRETARY DANIELS

T.. c. Shaw. of No. 400 jefferson
street, who for thirty years has work
ed at the Jackson and Sharp plant of
the American Car and Foundry Com
pany as ship carpenter, has invented
a submarine chaser which ne expects
TO personally explain to Secretary of
the Navy Daniels in a short tine. AL
though Mr. Shaw will be 81 years old
tomorrow he is as well preserved as
many men twenty years his junior
and works at his trade every day.
Mr.. Shaw has been working on his
invention for more than two years
and only recently completed a tin
model of the proposed submarine
chaser About a year ago he wrote to
Secretary Daniels about his in
vention. At that time Mr.. Daniels in
vited Mr.. Shaw to bring his model to
Washington so that officials of the
Navy Department could see It, bu.
explained that the department at that
time had no appropriation for buying
inventions. Mr.. Shaw did not have the
model completed at that time but
when he finished il this week he again
wrote to Secretary Daniels and is ex-
pecting to hear from him any day.
The chaser which would be built
OF steel plate according to MIR Shaw S
calculations, would be twenty-five feet
long and sixteen feet wide and would
carry six special guns especially de-
/ signed for action against submarines
and would carry a crew of about fif-
teen men.
Some Of the novel features Of the
boat which the inventor claims would
make it a terror to submarines, Mr..
I Shaw. did not care to discuss at this
time when seen yesterday. as he has
not secured his patent on it as yet
/ Practical mechanics who have in
spected the tin model think highly OF
II, and say in their opinion it would
prove a wonderful success. Practical
ly the entire interior is composed Of
air and water-tight compartments
There are four rows Of these com.
partments Mr. Shaw claims thai
with the way that he provides for the
arrangements of these compartments
it would be practically impossible FOL
cannon ball to penetrate all o
them, and even If it should go en-
trely through the boat, it woul'
make little difference. as the Graf
cannot be sunk by ball passing
! through only one row OF the airtigh
+ compartments The chaser would b
: entirely alright up to the deck. Their
! are also alright tenders on top {
the deck. The craft is provided wit

in contact with It,

p chaser Mr. Shaw declined to NAL

NEW YORK, April 14.-Approxi-
mately one month ago the British and
French offensive began coincidental
with the German strategic retreat"
on the western front.
In that month, including Field Mar
shall Haig's captures today. the
Franco British forces have recovered
approximately $50 square miles of
French territory from the invader,
extending over a front of more than
rs miles. Some of it has been
wrenched from the Germans hands in
the most violent fighting of the war.
In some places the British advance
has reached forward % miles. This
much was registered in the jump from
around Estrees to Fresnoyle-Petit,
north of St. Quentin.
The line of the Hindenburg route
was swung on two pivOts-around
Lens on the north and around St.
Quentin on the south. 1t is at these
two pivotal positions that the great
est drives of the war are now being
made-Haig and his British forces
singly around Lens, which Official

fall: General Nivelle's forces, coop
Grating with the British around st.
Quentin and La Fere.. st. quentin
cannot hold out much longer. Allied
troops are within less than two miles
of the Cathedral, fighting in the su-
burbs Of the city.
THE line on which the fighting in
this entire front was waged all winter
ran approximately from Loos &c
I,ieuwm to Angres, to point east oil
Souchez. thence to Melville st. Vast

There the line swep. sharply east

again to Ablaincourt and west o

ANOTHER BOOST IN
The PRICE OF EATS

Marketmen say they have received
notice OF another boost OF one dollar
a hundred pounds on meats effective
next week.
Eggs are selling at 80 TO SS cents
a dozen, but as the wholesale price
has advanced TO 35 cents a dozen the
consumer naturally expects an in
crease in the retail price today. The
wholesale price of white potatoes is
$3.50 per bushel. Fortunately the
price of rice is about the same as
usual and nobody is compelled TO eat
potatoes. Onions, another article OF
diet which is most important at this
season, and one for which there is no
known substitute, advanced TO $3.50
q basket.
Celery is cheaper, selling at 40 to
60 cents a dozen. Beans. both wax and
green, are cheaper, selling at whole
sale from 1925 to $3.50 per hamper,
and were quoted all the way from IL
cents to % cents per quarter in King
street market The market is now
we'll supplied with green's of various
kinds and the prices are becoming
slightly lower each day.
