"a late addition on the river side of

of basalt, which, without association
with the architecture of the crane
building proper, is ornamented with

and it may be assumed that this year

heavy ice foes, and the old Ander-
useful and ornamental crane
THE fact that the crane has been
able to withstand the attacks of the
river these hundreds of years is a
credit to the lasting quality of the
stone used and superior workmanship
with which it was put together.
The old crane served the purposes
for which it was built for more than
300 years. With the advent of the
railroad the crane was put to greater
uses. Untold tons of stone from the
volcanic rock district of the Laacher
See were brought to Andernach to be
loaded on the river barges for other
points in Germany.

and the adoption of new inventions,

"The general run of the machines
at Nordeny were of the tried and
proved types, such as the Friedrchs-
hafen, Brandenburg and Albatross,
with which the Allies were already
thoroughly familiar This was quite
as expected, for Nordeny was SER

1t was no part of its work to develop
new types. The one exception was
giant monoplane flying boat, which is
undoubtedly the most striking ma
chine Of that character in existence at
present. Its wing spread of perhaps
l30 feet is exceeded by that of num-
ber Of Allied and German machines,
but a breadth of wing of between Is
feet and 20 feet had hardly been
equalled, at least in any of the types
known to the public. 1t was in sur
veylng the great expanse and solidity
of these wings that one of the Ameri-
can officers remarked, If a Sopwith

that this remarka BILE machine would

Roughly speaking it looked to be from
three to four times the displacement

"The result has been that, while we
are undoubtedly abreast of them in
flying seaplanes, there are some points
IN construction which they have con-
centrated upon-stecl pontoons, for
instance-in which they are ahead of
us at the moment. This was only to
be expected, of course, when you con-
slider that for much naval flying we
have reckoncd the seaplane as more
or less obsolete for over a wear. While
we have to give the Germans credit for
building some very fine seaplanes, we
feel that for us to have given this class
OF machine as much attention as they
have would have been much the same
as concentrating on bicycles for speed
work after the invention of the mo-
torcycle."
The same authority thinks that
the Germans would have done better
to follow the British practice of fit
ting all their fighting ships to fly
aeroplanes:
"They doubtless counted on Zep-
pelins for their long distance recon
noissance in case of another great
naval battle, but l am confident that
they would have been blinded some
hours before the action by the de-
struction, or at least the driving of.
before they could have seen ANYTHING
of these airships by the fast fighting
airplanes that would have been put
up by our screen of light cruisers,
working many miles in advance of the
battle fleet. The Germans must have
known for a long while what we were
doing along this line, and am con
vinced that the fact that they did not
follow our lead is only further evil
dence that they never intended to risk
another naval engagement after Jut-
land"

Commission inspected Wihelms-

SENTENCE |S DELAYED
 WHILE COURT LEARNS
 ABOUT BESSIE COINS

Before passing judgment in the case of Bessie Coins, self confessed shop litter, Judge Stanford will know the girls general reputation in Rockford, Colo, where she lived before coming to Phoenix. The court, after a hearing in chambers yesterday, declared that he would not dispose of the case until he looked into the past of the 17-year- old girl, who stated that she wasnt { an angel"
 When the Coins girl was arraigned in the lower court she says she did not reveal her real ago, as she had been coached by Archie Morris, with whom she came to this city, to give her age as lover eighteen" When Morris was sent to the federal prison and it could no longer harm him, the girl gave her right age and her case was transferred from the criminal to the juvenile court.
 Manager Carter of Korrick's told the court how he had met the pretty de- fendant walking out of the shop with two blue taffeta dresses hidden in the coat she carried over an arm. When first arrested she told the officers the frocks had been given her by Jack Sparks, a travelling salesman, and she still insists that a blue suit found ir her room was the gift of Sparks. 4 gray georgette gown, also discovered in the search of her room in house located at 25 West Monroe street, witt the two blue dresses, were returned tc Korricks yesterday by order of tho court.
 Bessie was smartly frocked when she appeared before the court. She wore { green and black taffeta costume an( one of the ultra smart sailors that ar, so much in vogue. She said that sh' had come to Arizona with Morris witt the written consent of her mother, be cause Morris had some affairs to settle here before their marriage took place After he was arrested and convicted o1 violation of the Mann act, she went to work, having been employed by three difefrent shops in five weeks She told the court that she had nevel been narrated before. There was some question as to the type of school sht attended in Colorado, and to ascertain whether or not it was a school of cor rection is one of the reasons of Judge Stanford for continuing the matter.
