DESTROYERS ARE
BRAND new TYPE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Such re.
markable progress has been made In
the quick building of the immense
flotilla of American destroyers to
cope with the submarine campaign
that the Navy Department now is as
sured OF much quicker delivery of the
ships that was contemplated at the
last estimate, which In itself was far
ahead Of the original time. Progress
on the ships now building and ar
rangements for others TO follow, it
was said today at the Navy Depart.
rnent, are such that the american
navy will lead the world with its de.
stroyers within eighteen months.
II is now 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
1918. Approximately ten months have
been saved.
All new destroyers are of a new
design worked out by the Navy De-
partment and showing radical changes
from any OF these craft now afloat.
The great majority OF them will be
thirty-five-knot vessels of improved
