MAMMALIAN HARDEN
INQUIRIES IF KAISER
HELPED WAR LOAN
German Editor Asks if Wilhelm
Subscribed Out of His
Enormous Wealth.

| Berlin, Dec 25.-"How many millions
of the German war loan did Wilhelm.
the late kaiser and king, the owner of
real and personal property of over a
billion marks (normally $3.50, 900, ,000) in
value, subscribe and pay for?'
The irrepressible Maximilian Harden
asks this timely question and adds:
Three years ago business man
made this inquiry at the Re:chsbank,
suggesting that surely such large sum
would make useful popular impression
if devoted. to the country's needs. Tho
inquirer was reprimanded by the Off
cials Of the Reichsbank, who said, THAT
Is His Maiesty's business and concerns
neither you nor any one else"
Another uncomfortable question that
Harden asks is What Prussian minis
ters Of yesterday or today are respon-
sible and therefore liable to prosecution
for the fact that before the conslusion
of the agreement as to his property
rights there were handed out to she
deserter, Field Marshal William Won Ho-

High Speed and Cruising
Radius Characteristics
of New Battleships
Under Construction.
Aircraft Carrier Outfit
ted With IS Hangers,
Huge Landing Deck
on Converted Collier.

Washington, Dec 25.-Among the 14O
vessels under construction for the navy
are four types new to the American
battle fleet, but long in use by other
principal maritime powers They are
the battle cruiser, of which six are being
built; the scout or light cruiser; the
aeropalne carrier and the fleet sub
marine.
The battle cruisers will be of great
speed, light armor, long cruising radius.
and strong offensive armament, the
ing work ahead of the main body and
for action at long range against vessels
of their own class. They are to have
speed of slightly more than 33 knots
(about 40 miles, an hour, and will carry
eight Ii inch guns mounted two in a
turret
10 Light Scout Cruisers
The ten light cruisers also will func-
ton as scout cruisers. They will have
a speed Of 33.7 knots and win carry
vessels of their class, mounting 12 six
inch guns. They are designed to develop
10000 horsepower, half that of the
battle cruisers.
One of the most interesting of the
new types is the aircraft carrier Lang
ley, formerly the collier Jupiter. This
vessel is being built along the line Of
the general boards policy that aircraft
carriers should be combatant vessels
whose speed and other characteristics
will permit of their use with the fleet
at sea. The Langley will carry in the
of Is planes. The ships
flying deck will consist Of a huge plat
form, 56 feet above the water line ex-
tending from bow to stern, q distance
of about $50 feet and with an amidshps
width of 65 feet. The planes will be
housed below on the hangar deck in ele
vators. Catapults will be provided on
the flying deck to project the planes
into the air and give them the necessary
for start. Arresting de-
vices will be rigged on the flying deck
to permit landing directly on the deck
while the Langley is under way while
huge cranes will also be installed to pick
planes out of the water.
Wing Repairing Shop
Facilities for repairs will include a
equipped machine shop, wing
repairing shop, molding spaces, a metal
shop and various Storerooms.
An ingenious method for providing
smoke pipes without breaking the fly
ing deck area is devised for the Lang
ley. The ship will have two smoke
tunnels. one on each side, clear of the
flying deck and inter connected so that
the smoke always be discharged on the
lee side and thus not interfere with the
landing or discharge of aircraft.
The fleet submarines building number
six. Six others authorized have not yet
1een contracted for. Their principal ,
will be long cruising
radius, enabling them to accompany the
fleets under practically all conditions.

Among the Americans who left Fiume

Immediately efter official notice of
the blockade was given to the regency
of Quarnero' the italian general. Fer

all exits on three sides. For about 100
yards out of the city the railway tracks
were removed.

The blockade has caused great in

some of which have reached fantastic
sums. Meat is a food Of extraordinary
luxury.
Regular troops surround the blockade
line at short intervals. Royal guards
and carabineers hold the sea line while
Alpine troops dominate the city from the
northeastern heights. What Is consid

DAnnunzio, according to information
leaking out of Fiume. is virtually taking
no rest and IS displaying great nervous
activity in the work of defence. He is
imparting orders. giving advice, writing
proclamations and reciting aloud.
Poet Highly indignant
The poet-commander IS highly in,lig
nant about some of the conditions in
general Caviglia's uitimatum. especially
that pertaining to the disbandment of his
troops. He considers it outrageous to
the independency of the regency, which
be declares had a right to form an army
for Its own defense. even with foreign
subjects. as France and Holland have
done in the case of their foreign legions.
Since the blockade was instituted no.
body has been able to enter Fiume.
Many have been obliged to turn back.

of entering the city so that they might
persuade their sons to return to the ~eg
ular army and cease in assisting in plans

The number Of persons requiring to
be fed in Fiume is $4,000, while the re-
gency is believed to have accumulated
rations only sufficient for $4,000 for
two weeks This has contributed great
" to the depression Of the citizens who
are reluctant to endure nrivations and

mander of the American army of occupa-

a correspondent of lie Petit Parisien, de-

that the American army was about to be
withdrawn from Germany.
General Allen stated he had just re-

Colby saying there was no intention at

French army of occupation, for his mod
Grafton in the treatment of the inhabi-
tants of that part of Germany under
French control.
II received a letter from the secre-
tary of state recently" said General
Allen. "He wrote that the withdrawal
of the American army was not being
considered, at least for the present. OF
course, / cannot speak for the future
After all, it is moral rather than q
political question, but of course we have
every confidence that Mr.. Harding, after
his inauguration, will do whatever is best
for the general interests. The presi-

ablest men, one of whom, Senator Medill
Mccormick, / expect to see at my head

Commenting on the American army's
attitude toward the conquered inhabi-

"NEe Americans have always en-
deavored to make the burden of our oc-

seen the moderation they exercise and
can give them this praise because they
