Strange War Craft.

Plans for one Of the strangest war
vessels ever proposed have been sub
mitted to the council Of national de-
fense, says Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine. The craft Is an enormous ocean
going water wheel that is intended to
perform much the same service for the
navy as the British and French tanks
have for the allied armies. Although
highly visionary and entirely untried,
1t has novelty and potential power that
draws attention. In addition to being
amphibious to a certain degree, 1t 10
theoretically capable Of great speed.
Essentially 1t consists Of two big con-
nected cylinders that are supplied
around their outer rims with ADJUST
able paddles. The horizontal axle Of.
fers space for crew and is gyro-
scopically stabilized to support a fight
ing mast. Opposite ends of the axis
are utilized as gun turrets.

makes affidavit to a crop return of over

A Berlin Advertisement.

In Germany now there are advertise
ments which are not only news, but
imply a great deal outside of the direct
news sought to be conveyed.

Zeitung recently contained want ad.
reading as follows: "For exchange, 80
Polish laborers. 20 men and 30 girls.

Polish laborers in Germany are not
permitted to change masters or to

make exchanges, as we trade horses

BALTIMORE. Aug. Z.

To store ordnance, including hand bombs

which measures 100 by $50 feet, were COM

Just when the Government intends to
send ordnance to the buildings is not known.
1t is thought that the structures will not
be put to use until the entire encampment
Is finished, by September 1. AS the last
shingle on the last building was hammered
into place shortly before noon, Major Proc
tor expressed keen satisfaction that the
work on these two buildings had progressed
so rapidly. Two weeks ago officials from the
ordnance department at Washington Vis-
tied the Major and outlined their plans.
They told the Major they would like to see
the building ris week at least before the
cantonment was finished The Major Will
notify Washington later on in the day ana
ordnance experts will come to the canton
ment to inspect them.
With the arrival late yesterday of about
700 new workmen at the camp, work or
building barracks, stables and commssary
structures went on with redoubled vigor.
When the horde Of laborers descended on
the cantonment. the first thing they started
on was a huge pile of sandwiches, 1000 by

later the sandwiches had disappeared and
