NOSE Of "EAGLE"
BUILT TO CRUSH
GERMAN U-BOATS
Concrete Noses Of Ford'S New
Craft Better Fitted Than
DeStroyerS to Ram Subs.
Are Swift Vessels.

DETROIT, Jan, "a long, narrow
wedge, with a steel-enCased nose of
solid concrete tapercd to a knileltke

total length of 20i feet, II declared
20 be capable Of crushing any subma-
rine--such is the Eagle, built by Henry
Ford and designed originally to help rid
the seas Of the menace Of the German
u.boats.
Contrary to popular belief the Eagle
Is not a motor boat, but an ~oil-burnlng
steam turbine driven craft, with n
cruising radius Of 5000 miles. The
Eagle is not a thing Of beauty; beauty
was not contemplated in It's construc.
ton. II II "A long. gaunt weapon OF
war, Of all-steel construction with tho
exception OF the concrete nose.
Another popular impression that has
been shattered Is an idea that the
Eagle boat Is equipped with torpedo
tubes. The submarine chaser was not
intended TO combat the major instru-
ment OF German ruthlessness with its
own weapons, II was designed to do
pend rather upon It's mAnouvering quail
tiles, its powerful light guns and a new
American invention for directing its
fire az unseen objects,
Its crew, including operating and
fighting complement numbers approx
mai4ly so men,
Has Narrow Beam.
To tho observer, the first impression
of the Eagle boat Ia one of wonder that
. craft so narrow can possess ~buoyancy
sufficient to keep it upright in heavy
seas, Despite its length of more than
an average city block, the craft has n
beam Of only Is feet, and draws when
fulley equipped less than ten feet Of
water.
The seaworthiness has been demon
etrated In officials trials. according TO
reports TO the navy department,
While II Is admitted that the Eagle
does not make the speed Of the average
destroyer, II Is claimed that II can out

CUTS SUGAR FROM $3.50 70 ST
Spool of Thread Drops From So to.
$3.50 After Relief Ship Reaches
Roumania.

Bueharest-When the American Red
Gross and the American relief admin
lstration commenced work here sever
hl months ago, sugar was selling at
$3.50 a pound, and was almost imr,os-
sible to obtain even at that price.
Today it is still scarce, but can be
purchased at somewhere around 81,
due to the relief shipments.
A "Hoover" ship with 800 tons Of
milk, about 5000 tons of fat, and 3,00C
tons of other foods, recently arrived at
Constanza. These supplies did much
to improve the situation.
Food is not the only commodity
which has taken fall. In the last
month the price of thread has dropped
from SO to SLIGO a spool. A speculator
who recently brought in a trunkload of
cotton thread realized a profit OF $1,000
on his enterprise.
Tickets on the weekly train between
Bucharest and Paris bring a premium
as high as 5000.

ELECTION AFTERMATH

Viewed from a national stand
point, the five state elections held
Tuesday were dog fall. Not count
ing Mississippi the political impor-
tance attached to Maryland and New
Jersey that went Democratic and
Kentucky and Massachusetts that
went Republican. In Maryland the
Republicans made gains but not
enough to overcome the Democratic
majority. In Massachusetts, the Re-
publican governor running for re-
election was forced to, take the law
and order end of the labor situation,
and won by $4,000. In Kentucky
and New Jersey the dominant party
was in each instance changed by the
liquor interests. In New Jersey the
vets backed Edwards, Democrat, ov-
erturning a Republican majority of
$4,000 and carrying the State by
$4,000. In Kentucky the same in
terests backed Morrow, changing a
small Democratic majority into
Republican majority of 10000.
Unquestionably the result in New
Jersey was disappointing to the Re-
publicans, but they excuse it on the
ground that it was wet and dry
fight and that the conspicuous gains
in Kentucky and Maryland where
normally the Democrats are predom-
inant, were worth thinking about.
Certainly the wet and dry issue
worked different ways in different
states In New Jersey where the &c
mocratic candidate was outspoken on
the wet side considerable assistance
was derived from the presidents We
to of the Prohibition Enforcement
bill, while in Kentucky where Demo
oyats ro.ai-:a ed Z dry candidate the
Republicans auey: The C,al5 By Ga2c-
iy $1,000, with the aid CT the vote
Of tko s.I.l;.EC ya-ners who turned
to Morrow hoping that he would not
control them with troops should the
strike be protracted.
Vets in Washington are jubilant
over the victory they won in Ken
lucky and New Jersey and agreed !
that the dry triumph in Ohio was =
foregone conclusion. Yet disinter-
ested observers see little opportunity
for any comfort to the wet or dry
side in the elections because Ken
lucky, where whiskey making Is &C, ,
at all an insignificant industry hard :
ly furnishes fair test on the issue ,,
and the result in populous Ohio IS
Offset by the victory Tor the vets in
populous New Jersey.
Most gratifying, too, from a neu-
trail standpoint is the fact that Meth
er side won a landslide. For party
politicians are apt to permit election
results to affect them too easily. And
just now a complicated election re- q
suit with hardly a clear cut party
victory for either side will make both :
parties in Congress more responsive
70 public opinion and less interested
n the votes Of special classes than
they otherwise might have been.
In the midst of coal strikes and in
lustrial crises and serious contro- 6
yersy over foreign policy, elections :
will this year be of ephemeral inter
st and significance with the single !,
of Massachusetts, where "
he defeat administered to lawless- :,
less will remain as lesson to both r
,arties and will serve especially to :,
tiffen the backs of those Democratic p
fficials who have feared that the at -
itude of the Wilson administration y
n fighting the strikes might be politi- :
ally disastrous.

SITUATION IN RUSSIA IS NOW
 CRITICAL ONE
(The Associated Press)

EXCHANGED, Feb. 3.-The mill tary officers who are conducting the campaign in Northern Russia are now regarding their situation as ex. tremely critical owing to the vast ly superior number of Bolsheviki op' posing them.
 The allies have advised the state department at Washington of the cir. cumstance and in return were ad vised that the matter of reinforce. ments for the campaign in Northern Russia was one that the war coun' ell of Paris must handle.
 Advices were received that the Bolshevih were using gas shells which leads the allies to believe that Germany is furnishing the Bols with the means of continuing the fighting. Should this condition be true a drastic punishment will be meted out by General Foch as such action is a direct violation of the terms of the armistice.

UNIONS CLAIM WALKCUT WILL
 BE THIS WEEK
(The Associated Press)

SEATTLE. Feb. 3.-The claim is made that every union man in the city will join the general strike next Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. that being the hour designated for the big general strike to be held.
 It is more than likely that the pub lie will be compelled to walk after that hour, as it is reported that the street car men have cast their lot with the strikers. Today it was ru- mored that the typographical union had voted to go on sympathetic strike and as consequence the pub iic may be without their daily papers
 The longshoremen. despite the fact that they had been ordered not to join in the strike movement under penalty of losing their charter. have decided to cast their lot with the other unions. This decision was sent to the international president of the union, and by whom the strik CTS were cautioned against the move.
 All of the unions involved in the strike are making preparations for feeding the members of the unions who have no homes and for making some allowance for those with fami- lies. Large eating places will be es- tablis1ed hy the various unions and the men given tickets thereon for the duration of the strike.

CONDITIONS IN
 MOSCOW HORRID
(The Associated Press)

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 3.-French refugees arriving in this city from Moscow state that living conditions in that city at the present time are terrible, food being high and very scarce. Some of the people are even reduced to eating dogs or any other animals that they can catch in or. der to exist.
 A cup of milk costs fifteen rubles; pound of bread twenty-five rubles, both being of very poor quality. In addition to the high price of food the condition of the city Is greatly endangered by typhus. which is said to have a strong foothold in the city, several deaths being reported from the disease. The poorer classes are suffering the worst and unless something Is done to alleviate tEe distress 1t is probable that hundreds of them will tie within the next few weeks. the supply of food being so low and the sickness so prevalent.

He did believe, however. in the organization of few big railroad companies which would be subject to the super vision of the government

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The state department has cancelled the pass ports recently issued to women of Portland, Oregon, and Denver, who were about to sail for France.
 It was learned that the women had participated in the suffrage demon strations before the White House some time ago during which speeches of President Wilson were burned to show their contempt for the chief executive.
 AS part of their program for the advocating of suffrage two of the women intended to display suffrage banners before the building in which the sessions of the peace conference are being held and also in front of the Murat mansion, which Is the residence of the President.
