American Engineer Suggests New
Type Of Vessel to Combat Subma.

MucI.

Type OF Vessel to Combat Subma-
rine Evil. Wouldn't Cost Very
Much.
New York, March S.-A plan where
by cargo tonnage can be created in
this country faster than Germany can
sink it." has, been devised by f. Hunt
ington Clark, an American engineer,
according to an announcement here
tonight before joint session Of the
Automobile Club Of America the Aero
Club of America and the Motorboat
Club Of America.
The new type of vessel, it was said,
could be built in great numbers qiuck-
ly at small cost and by men Of little
skill. Each vessel would be mastess,
smokeless and of diminutiye size and
would have such low visibility as COM
pared with the great steel ships now
afloat, that it could be seen by sub
marine at barely more than q third
OF the distance at which the 100O0-ton
steamship now is detected.
In addition, it was asserted the new
craft, propelled entirely by motor,
would offer a smaller mark, would be
more easily manoeuvered in event of
an encounter and because of it's small
draft Of from eleven to thirteen feet,
torpcdoes that ordinarily would sink
the larger vessel of steel construction
would pass idly beneath it,"
1t was estimated that thousand
vessels of 900 tons each could be
| built at cost of $10O,000,000 in a year
These boats would be 1S5 feet over
all with thirtysix foot beam.
MIR. Clark's plan is to utilize all OF
the coastal wooden ship yards which
now have a capacity of 25OO00 tons
year. To enargc these plants, II
was asserted, would require nothing
more than the clearing of additional
beach or bank, the laying down o.
more cheap wooden ways and the set
ting up Of additional lumber planins
and saving machinery.

London March S.-Thc Prussian
food controller, DR.. George Mchaclis
made in the Prussian Diet yesterday
what the l<oelnischc Zcitung calls a
serious speech on the food situation,
says Reuter- dispatch from Amster-
dam. DR.. Michaelis declared that the
distress was such that more severe
state of things, especially in the large
industrial centcrs, could hardly be i'm
agined. He indicated the possibility
that all surplus stocks of grain would
be exhausted and said that very radi-
cal measures were needed to enable
the people to hold out until next year.
I'VE have in the third year OF the
war" the food controller Is quoted as
saying discovered that among all sub
scriptions OF the people the general
feeling cvinccd is not one OF that en-
durancc for which we had hoped. This
is human nature, but it is highly in
tolcraD.c and may have most serious
results.
