Britain Has
 Mystery Ships

Washington, Aug 5-The super Hoods'' giant warships which Great Britain has just authorized for building, are today the real mystery ships of the world, in the opinion of naval experts here.
 No one, not even in the confidence of the British Admiralty, has been all lowed to get more than an 1nkl1ng of their real character. They have been represented vaguely as some new type of destructive monster, surpass- ing anything now known to naval science, but officers of the other na- vies of the world know no more to- day about the vessels than when the ships were proposed. In naval circles here here is a strong 1nflination to lay much of this mystery to a desire to "bluff," and although speculation among naval experts about the new boats overshadows the possibilities of the peIlt t.. Isarmarnent talk, no one is seriously alarmed over them-
 The American Navy has ships af1oat or building that approximate the su- per-HoodS, from the little that IS known of the latter.
