Detroit-A long, narrow wedge,
with steel-encased nose of solid
concrete tapered to knife-like
edge, forming a considerable part
of its length of 204 feet and de-
clared to be capable of crushing
any submarine-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-burning, steam turbine driven
craft, with a cruising radius of s.
900 miles. The Eagle is not a
thing of beauty; beauty was not
contemplated in its construction.
1t is a long, gaunt weapon of war,
of all-steel construction with the
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 instrument of German
ruthlessness with its own weapons.
1t was designed to depend rather
upon its maneuVering qualities, it's
powerful light guns, and a new
American invention for directing its
fire at unseen objects.
Its crew including operating and
fighting complement numbers ap-
proximateIy so men.
To the observer, the first i'm
preston of the Eagle boat is one
of wonder that a craft so narrow
can possess buoyancy sufficient to
keep it upright in heavy seas. De-
spite its length of more than an av-
erage city block, the craft has a
beam of only 25 feet and draws
when fully equipped less than ten
feet of water
Its seaworthiness has been dem
onstrated in the official trials, &C
cording to reports to the navy de-
partment
While it is admitted the Eagle
does not make the speed of the av-
erage destroyer, it is claimed that
it can out-distance most subma-
rines and the razor-Iike edge of
the bow, silently, but eloquentIy
tells what would have happened
had it come in contact with the
German undersa pirate.
Built with utility as its prime
purpose, seemingly not an inch OF
space is wasted in the fitting of the
vessel, and not an ounce of super
fluous weight enters its construc-
ton. When dropped into the wa
ter ready for the installation of it's
engines, guns, etc, less than 200
tons of material have been riveted
together to shape the Eagle boat
The plates that form the shell of
the submarine-chaserS vary in
thickness from Il to 3s inch, and

ALEDO AT A GLANCE
Daily Doings in Mercer County's Busy Capital

arrived last evening from the hos
pital at Fort Sheridan, near Chi
cagO, on a fifteen days furlough
for a visit with his mother, Mrs.
William McHard, of West Fourth
street, and other relatives and
friends in this vicinity Wounded
in the desperate fighting along the
Mouse, north of Sedan. Lieutenant
McHard had been in various hos
pitfalls overseas since that time. the
greater part of the time in the base
hospital at Bordeaux. He appar-
emily is almost recovered from a
severe wound in the hip, made by a
piece OF a high explosive shell. He
enlisted in August, 1917, and re-
ceived his training at the officers
training camp at Leon Springs,
Texas, leaving promising prac-
tiCe Of law at Houston to enter the
nations service. He went across
in April, 1918, a lieutenant in the
Thirteenth machine gun battalion
of the Fifth division. His unit saw
desperate fighting on several Oc-
casions and on the same date that
he received the fragment of the
Helne shell, the platoon under his
command received many casualties.
Lieutenant McHard wears the gold
service stripe for six months SER
vice overseas. Lieutenant McHard
states that on going over he car
ried supplies valued at about $500
as required by the war department.
When going to the front the Off
GERS carried their bedding and fifty
pounds. His trunks were stored
and not seen until he was ready to
embark for the L. S. A. The lock
on one had been broken, but moth
ing molested. His other baggage
with some few souvenirs went on
into Germany with his unit, and
their ultimate recovery is doubtful.
AS to his future plans, Lieutenant
McHard says he is undetermined.
He expects to soon receive his re-
lease from the service and may de-
eide to locate in the north rather
than to return to Houston and
again take up his practice of law in
that place.

MAKE OFFER OF
SITE FOR RINK
City Told That Ideal Spot at the
Watch Tower Is Available
Free of Charge.

The city has been offered a site
for a municipal skating rink at the
Watch Tower park. but no decision
has as yet been reached by the au-
thorities as to whether or not the
offer will be accepted.
G. A. Stephenson, manager at the
Watch Tower, Offered the city the
use of the baseball diamond at the
park to be made into skating
rink. No charge will be made and
the only stipulation is that the city
take charge of the rink. An en-
bankment could soon be thrown up
and the baseball diamond flooded
and a most desirable skating pond
would be the result But the man
ager insists that the spot be not
turned over to any promoters for
the purpose of making excessive
charges for the privilege of skat-
ing and thereby enrich themselves.
The idea of a skating rink is one
put forth by city officials as it is
believed that if one is started the
young people of the city will have
no reason for skating on the Mis-
sissippi where much danger is in
volved.
Several promoters have been
seeking a concession from the city,
but no suitable spot for a rink had
been found and in addition the city
does not desire that the idea be put
into effect as a money making
scheme. but as one that will pro-
vide safety for young people who
are anxious to enjoy this most pop
ular of winter sports
