he found one; and he was a good

New American
Dreadnoughts
Are Criticized

BY Newton c. Parke, InternationaI
News Service Staff Correspondent.
Paris, Jan. 26.- Publishing pic
lures of Americas new dread
noughts. ILLUSTRATION severely cri-
ticizes the construction of these
ships. 1t firstly attacks their enor-
nous length and breadth and their
ornaments. But what it most Sc
verely takes objection to is the CEN
tral tower on these ships.
"On all their ships, the Ameri-
cans have kept those metallic trel-
lis work masts which characterize
them and which with their towers,
casemates, kiosks, footbridges and
tunnels, form a central castle Of
fering a big target to enemy fire.
The development of superstructures
is a danger which is not justified
either on account of the necessity
of long-distance observation or of
the advantages of grouping the
steering gear of the ship and the
control of the guns. The lessons of
the late war and those of the Rus
so-Japanese war showed that a sin
gle shell falling squarely in this
mass of steel can cause a veritable
catastrophe. The conjugation of
the tunnels on the cruisers of the
Indiana type is a novelty, albeit in
contradiction with the lessons of
naval warfare which have demon
strated that the fall of a funnel
sends the smoke back into the in
terror of the ship and forces the
men to abandon their posts An
aeroplane bomb or a shell falling
Squarely on these corrugated fun
llels would be even more disastrous
for the natural draft would be sup
pressed Immediately.
We are surprised to see America
to build ships of a type
condemned by the war. Admiral !
Sir Percy Scott in a recent speech |
IN London stated that the subma- |
rine had killed the cruiser, and in |
his he was right. II there re-
mains any doubt about this, let us

According 10 evidence produced
through previous investiga tions,
Lawrence, March q, 1918, counted
his money and bonds in his home
on Lake Monona, arranging them
in piles within is jewels. Included
among the jewels was a stone
known as the Orange diamond
valued at 100000 and said to have
been brought from Africa in 1884
as a gift for Queen Victoria of Eng
land.
Lawrence went to a lawyer to
make a codicil to his will leavlng
part of his estate to a stepdaugh-
ter, a motion picture actress who
died later. He was never again
seen alive. Thatn light a body was
found on the Chicago < North
western tracks. 4, was burlsa aa
that of Lawrence but it was so bad
ly mangled that only his nephew
was allowed to see it. The nephew,
Edward j. Lewrence, said 1t was
the body Of his uncle.
Death Raiment Missing.
Later the body was exhumed by
the state. Instead of the mangled
remains buried, nude body jden-
titled by several persons as that Of
Lawrenc was found Physicians
tstified death had come from Il
blow on the head. A mark on the
head was the only injury revealed,
the body originally bur
led was said to have been badly
torn.
Another eXhumation later re-
vealed that the body had been
with again, according TO
several bruises having
been inflicted.
The three undertakers who |
the body found on the rail-
road tracks, testified in previous i'll
1uiries that the body was mangled
beyond reception.
Blood stained bills were circull-
ed here shortly after Lawrence
