NEW SHE'LL is PERFECTED
FOR USE ON SUBMARINES
ProjectiIe Dives When 1t Strikes
Water Instead Of Bouncing-Al-
lied Navies Adopt 1t.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The mon
ricochet" shell, weapon as deadly as
the depth bomb, is the newest device
perfected by the navy ordnance ex-
perts for use against German subma-
rineS.
The new shell dives when it strikes
the surface of the water instead of
bouncing as do the ordinary missiles
used in either naval or coast defense
artillery In addition to the use of
a new fuse, the charge can be made
to explode on contact with a solid
surface under water or at pre-deter-
mined depth. The value of the latest
anti-submarine weapon lies in the fact
that shots which fall slightly short
will be of much effect as those which
register direct hits. Pursuing it's
course beneath the water, the shell
will explode against the side of the
submerged submarine. Similarly when
these shells are aimed at periscope
of a submarine, headed bow-on, there
is material increase in the chances
that an over shot will take effect
somewhere along the hull.
The navy department has forbidden
the publication of details of the in
vention, but it is known that the Brit
ish and French admiralties have adopt
ed it.

AMERICAN TROOPS WILL
SOON HAVE ACTIVE PART
Secretary Baker Says Substantial
Progress Has Been Made and
Many Difficulties Removed.

Washington. Jan 24.-While declin-
ing to comment directly upon the state
ment attributed to President Wilson
that there will be twice as many Amer
lean soldiers abroad next June as had
been originally planned. Secretary Bak-
er said:
"The program of the department has
been constantly developing one, and
many difficulties and limitations have
been removed or overcome. l cannot
discuss numbers of men in France or
anticipated to be in France at any par
ticular time, but we have made sub
stantial progress.
When General Pershing sent his
first battalions into the trenches with
Veteran French troops. formal an
nouncement of the fact was made here
coupled with the explanation that these
units were rounding out their train
ing course. A similar announcement,
either directly from General PerShing
or from the department is expected
when American troops finally take
over whatever sector of the battle lines
they are destined to fight in.
There have been no hints dropped
as TO when the American front would
be established, but the impression is
gaining strength here that the day is
not far distant.

NJ ADOO ADVISES
HOLDING ROADS
GOVERNMENT CHANGES WILL
PREVENT RETURN AT CLOSE
OF THE WAR.

Washington, Jan. Exchanges in
the fundamental principles of railroad
operation under government control
will make it inadvisable to turn the
roads back to private owners imme-
diately after the end of the war; Di-
rector General McAdoo urged before
the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee. Until comprehensive and ra-
tional legislation" to meet the changed
conditions is enacted it would be in
furious to the stockholders for the gov
eminent to relinquish control, he
added.
Examination of the director general
on the administration railroad bill
may be resumed later by the commit
tee but Chairman Smith announced
that the hearings, including arguments
will be completed this week.
Monday the committee plans to be-
gin work on the bill and report it to
the senate as soon as possible. The
chief questions at issue are whether
the measure shall fix definite time
for the return of the roads to private
ownership and the basis of compen-
satiOn.
Clifford Thorne of Chicago, repre-
senting shippers, opposed relieving the
commerce commission of its
power to fix rates. Mr. Thorne at
tackled the method of fixing compen-
satiOn provided in the bill, declaring
hat the government guarantees too
great return on the capital of the
'oads. The Burlington, he said, would
'eceive more than 20 per cent return
IN its stock.
After Mr.. McAdoo left the stand, |
Joseph L. Bristol, chairman of the |
Kansas public utilities commission,
PRESENTED to the senate committee fig
Tres designed to show that there would
e a return of from s to % per cent
n the common stock of the railroads
nder the method for fixing compen-
alton provided in the bill. He said
hat from 4 to 6 per cent would be
efficient.

.SANATORIA SAVE
OKLAHOMA LIVES
HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO
HELP STAY DEADLY RAVAGEs
OF TUBERCULOSIS HERE.
5000 YEARLY DEATH ROLL
Campaign Now Being Wagsd Te
Hasten Necessary Action On Part
OF Legislature.

Oklahoma is one of the few states
which has not provided state or coun.
ty tuberculosis sanatoria to guard the
health of its citizens, despite the fact
that the death toll of tuberculosis "a
the state last year was more than
three thousand.
In addition, estimates submitted to
the Oklahoma Tuberculosis Associa-
ton, which is sponsor of the present
campaign for six district sanatoria,
show that there are between 10000
and 10000 active cases of tuberculos
in the state. These afflicted persons
have no place to apply for treatment
and consequently their chance for re-
covery are few, while of necessity
they constitute an active menace to
those who have not contracted the
disease.
Army data show that nearly 400
Oklahoma men have been discharged
from the service with tuberculosis.
They have come back to their own
state, expecting to receive proper care
and treatment-ana instead, in most
instances, they have found only a
place to die. Finding no provision for
their care. these boys have lapsed in
to the last stages of the disease.
With facts such as these in mind
the Oklahoma tuberculosis Associa-
tion is urging immediate legislation
that will provide at least six district
sanatoria, which should be constructs
ed by the state and maintained jointly
by the state and county.

Historians say that the sugar cane

the Portuguese introduced the cane
into Brazil, bringing it from Madeira.
Some authorities have said that sugar
cane was introduced into Louisiana in
1751 by Jesvit priests, who haG it
brought from ,Santo Domingo, while
others give the Gate of the first plant
