capital ships of the future navy will
be electrically driven ''insuring their

but had proved economical because
il burned 25 percent less oil than

than freedom for the Poles.
Possibility not Ridiculous.
The possibility of an army Of 40,-
600 Poles proceeding toward Berlin
is not as ridiculous as appears on
it's face. The disorganization of the
German military machine has left
the defences OF the empire in poor
condition, while the demands of the
allies for delivery of war materials
under the armistice terms has ser
iously depleted Germany's stock OF
weapons. But. more influential on
the immediate course of events,
than either of these facts, is the
loss Of fighting morale Germany has
suffered.
The most abhorred word in Ger
many now is war. The people. there
fore, may decline 10 permit the gov
ernment 10 engage in any operations
against the Poles which would mean
extensive bloodshed.
