LEAD WORLD WITH pEsTROYERS
Progress In Building American FiOtilla Insures Quick
 Delivery.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Such remark able progress has been made in the quick building of the immense flotilla of American destroyers to cope w til the submarine campaign that the Navy Department is assured of much quicker delivery of the ships than was contemplated at the last estimate, which was far ahead of the ori ginal time. Progress on the ships now build ing and arrangements for others to follow, are such that the American navy will lead the world with it's des- troyers within IS months.
 It is certain that all destroyers now building will be delivered ready for duty in European waters early next year. Many of them had not been expected until the winter of 191S Ap- proximately 10 months has been say ed.
 Success of the project, however, de- bends on the extraordinary powers granted to the president in the bill now pending. The administration measure was altered in the House. The Senate committee restored the provis- ions naval officers consider vital to success, and it is now in conference.
 All new destryers are of a new de- sign worked out by the Navy De- partment and showing radical changes from any Of these craft TOW afloat. The great majority will be 35-knot vessels of improved sea-keepiDg quali- ties, adding to their effectiveness as submarine hunters. The first of the new type has been tried out With re- suits that amazed the officers.
 The rate of wars,hip production in the United States has been increased to such point that greater amount of fighting tonnage is being produced in a given time than has ever been achieved before by any power.

his physical self and this serves
as basis for his dawning imag-
