ROME SEES PEACE KITE
But Probability of 1t Being Customary
Ruse Is Not Overlooked.

Rome. Sunday Dec. 23.-The report
that a new German peace move is at
hand is supported by apparently re-
liable information which has reached
high quarters here. 1t is said on
Christmas day Emperor william will
issue a declaration containing peace
proposals. but whether explicit condi-
lions of peace may be expected or
merely another maneuver intended to
throw on the allies responsibility for
continuance of the war cannot be
aScertained.

CHATTANO' GA MADE ISLAND
BY FLOOD IN TENNESSEE
Thousands of Persons Driven
From Homes but Only One
Fatality Reported

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. March -
The crest of the rise in the Tennessee
river is expected to reach Chattanooga
at midnight when the weather bureau
expects the waters will begin to fall.
The guage at Z o'clock this morning read
ALB and the river was still rising slow
ly. The observer predicts it will reach
forty-eight feet tonight. The rise last
night cut off another street car line
and interrupted railroad traffic. The
waters covered the tracks of the South
ern road in the suburbs of the city, but
trains continued to pass over the flood
ed portion cautiously.
1t is estimated that between 1000 and
5000 people were driven from their
homes. They all have been provided for
without a call from the outside. The
relief committees have done valiant
work in rescuing the people and supply
ing them with provisions The only
fatality reported is one negro woman,
but it is believed she died from fright
The river is falling at all up river
points and no further danger is feared
in this direction, but the list of home
less will be increased as forced re-
movals continued throughout the day

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 24.-The
unsuitable ship may be the first war

the first invention to do away with the
terrors of mad dog submarine war

The break with Germany has brought
many maritime inventions before the
naval experts, but none has commanded
more studious attention than the ship

said, will make ocean lanes as safe as

"ships life belt"-a gigantic live saver
made in sections of canvas hooked to the
sides of the vessels
HAould a torpedo strike the belted
ship or a mine explode beneath her the
ship could adjust her life saver" as
sailor could slip into his life belt"
The jerk of a switch would quickly
turn on air pressure which would initiate
the canvas sections, or bags, and the
vessel would remain rocking steadily
and securely on it's huge inflated water
wings.
The imitation Of the canvas sections
does not depend upon the ships ma
chinery. because the motor power is re-
ceived from storage batteries. Should

gines or should she be rammed mid
ships by an enemy ship, or by an ice

tight compartments would not be effect
ed by the stoppage of machinery or de-
struction of the "topside"
When in use the two hulls which COM
pose the life saver are stretched on
either side of the ship; when not in
use they are tucked out of sight on
hooks near the deck railing.
The day the Titanic sank Schneider,
who had just finished a world tour on
a merchantmen, began to study the pos
slbility of life saver that would save
a ship. The ordinary man-size life saver
was his model.
The submarine warfare in the Euro
pean conflict stimulated his imagina-
ton.
The floating deck" as the new inven-
ton is sometimes called will receive it's
first test on a seagoing vessel soon on
Lake Michigan.
The man who is behind this unsink-
able ship idea is less than thirty. He
is a native of Hoboken, n. J., but has
been educated in Germany, where his
parents now live. He has circled the

out of the horror.of shipwreck and sea
disaster sprang the inspiration that may
make lanes of the ocean as danger
free as country by-paths.

Japan WELCOMES
RUPTURE BETWEEN
u. S. AND KAISER
Diplomats and Naval Officers
Agreed That America Is Bal
ance of Power and Will Be
Big Factor in Getting Peace

TOXIC, Feb. 5.-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Press.)-The diplomatic
rupture between the United States and
Germany was welcomed with enthusiasm
throughout Japan. The press devoted
columns TO the Geographic reports an.
nouncing the break and to the observa-
lions Of diplomats and publicists on the
situation.
The interviews given by prominent
diplomats and navy Officers, all I'M
named, to the press, unanimously agreed
that as the American navy is one Of
the strongest IN the world it would be
an easy task TO help crush the Ger
man naval power in event of a declara-
ton of war and thereby accelerate the
termination of the great war. America
would thus cap the climax to the titanic
struggle and contribute to the restoration
OF an eventual lasting peace Throughout
the world.
The Jill said the strength and useful
effect OF the American navy will be very
far-reaching, especially in sweeping the
German submarines from the Atlantic
the Mediterranean and the North sea
in cooperation with the entente navies.
The Yorodzu called the departure Of
the United States the great evolution Of
the European war and an epoch-making
event
Too much liberalism and leniency has
been shown Germany by the United
States, said the Asahi. If President
Wilson did not take a decisive step and
declare war on Germany and force her
to abandon her aggressive ambitions he
would not be able to realize his covet-
ed lasting peace of the world.
Admiral Kato, minister of the navy,
in an interview said that IL the Ameri-
can navy took the offensive against
the Germans it would surely be effec-
tive in sweeping the German navy from
the international sea routes and stop
the menace of the worlds shipping in
tereste.
Marquis Okuma in a brief interview
declared that the determination of the
United States was a natural course or
the events of the past, and now that
America had openly pledged her hostile
attitude il was needless to say that
Germany would eventually be compelled
to Law aside her arms and yield, aban-
doning her ambitions and aggressive
designs. This was A cause of great
congratulation for the sake of the world
and the peace and happiness of hu-
manity.
Fears that the situation would affect
Americas great importation of Japanese
silk caused a panic in the Yokohama silk
market. Prices fell abruptly, causing
losses estimated at S5OO.OOO. The di-
rectors closed the market. Merchants
think the panic not justified by condi-
tions and believe that Japanese eventu-
ally would benefit by complications be-
tween the United States and Germany.
