WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-American
officers and men alike are calling for
books of information on the land in
which they are fighting. Baedekers, a
German guide book is not only one of
the most mprehensive, but also one
Of the most compact volumes of this
sort, but it is no longer purchasable in
this country, as, naturally, none has
been shipped out of Germany since the
war began, and efforts on the part of
the American Library Association to
purchase copies have proved futile.
Because of this the A. L. A. is call
ing on all American travellers of for
mer years on whose bookshelves rest
Baedeker's for France, Belgium or Italy
to answer the appeal of the soldiers.
All the owner of Baedeker has to do
is to turn his copy over to the nearest t
public library. The American Library
Association, through it's overseas ser.
vice, will do the rest. If there is no

Germany by placing weapon of its

politics is the conduct of the minis

many is the only way in which war

from the water, so that with the ex-
ception of the sides there is no part
of the bottom submerged.
In the centre Of the bottom is a
tub-like "annex," in which the engines
arc to be placed, of about eight feet in
draft, and from this to the sides
run plates of steel two feet wide, in
order to give certain comprcssure to
the water which will accelerate the
speed.
Immune From Torpedo
Should a torpedo strike one of these
plates. the plate alone will suffer and
the hull remain intact. Should it by
chance strike an open space and hit
demolished, but it would not affect the
buoyancy Of the ship because of a
bulkhead arrangement between the en-
gine room and the hull.
The only problem which confronted
the builder was that of beam. 1t is
necessary to almost double the beam,
that of a 3,000-ton craft being fifty
three feet where it usually is thirty
five feet, but that is overcome in so far
as speed is concerned by virtue Of the
vessel being almost entirely on the
surface of the water. Diesel engines,
kerosene burners, provide the motive
only half Of that usually required.
A 5000 ION vessel of the type now
in use does not carry 5000 tons of
cargo, because great deal of the
cargo space is lost in construction. A
3000-ton Liberty Snip will carry that
amount of cargo. 1t will cost only
wo-thirds Of the price of present-day
vessel, because there are no bent
plates used in building, and bent plates
are much more expensive than fiat
ones.
The plates will be standardized,
each one of them numbered and. ac-
cording to Count Lynar, may be as
sembled by novices if competent
construction engineer is in supervi-
sion, thus reducing the cost of labor
and the difficulty in procuring skilled
men for the work.
And what is more to the point, forty
days will see a Liberty ship fully con-
structed and ready for duty.
Little Cargo Space Lost
One of the difficulties with the
Lucia, the unsinkabe ship recently
tested by the government. Count Lynar
points out, is shat by the thermos os-
bulkhead arrangement utilized thereby
too much cargo space is lost. Tests
with the Liberty ship, he says. will
surprise government authorities as
greatly as they did him.
The idea embodied in its construc
ton was born on Blackwell's Island,
while Count Lynar was a prisoner
there, convicted of bigamy and sus-
pected of being a German agent.
The inventor watched with interest
the barges carrying railroad cars in
the East River and sought to provide
a ship as stable as they but with
great speed His experiments soon
attracted much attention, and Bur
dettc G.. Lewis, Commissioner of Cor
rections, took an interest in them.
judge Otto Rosalsky released him that
he might continue the work. Now it
has been perfected and its results
soon will be disclosed to the world.

Berlin Lecturer
Says / Parlian1ent
Can Save Kaiser
Prof. Max Weber, of Held
elberg University, Calls
for Denocratization<
The Ncsc York Tribune


The parliamentarization of Germany
is the only thing that under circum-
stances like the present can save Ger
many from war and preserve the throne
Tor the Kaiser and his dynasty, said
Professor Max Weber, of the Univer-
Slty of Heidelberg, in the course of a
lecture he gave in Berlin on the Ger
man Aristoclacy and the Democratiza-
ton of Germany He declared that
the methods pursued by the govern
ment during the last few years must
lead to ruin unless they are soon
changed.
The junkers of the eastern prov
lnces," Professor Weber said, "are not
arlstocrats IN the sense in which the
English understand the term, and they
do not play any leading political roles,
thanks to self-consciousness and po-
litical training. The Prussian iur ker
IS nothing but an agricultural leader
Politically they are like the industrial
and commercial leaders, closely con-
nected with their work, and are not
IN position to give themselves up
to politics as an art.
Impossible to Democratize Some
The real aristocracy can be democ
ratlzed, but the German aristocracy
can never be democratized. The repre-
sentative OF the German aristocracv is
the university student who has passed
his formal examination. The Young
officials who have just come out from
the university look upon the German
empire as an assurance association for
advancement and power Their secur-
lty is assured by the three-class suf-
frage law
The main trouble with German
