 The machine, which Is a combination of torpedo, hydro plane and aircraft, has success sfully undergone trials by the Italian Navy, and the Italians are shortly going to incorporate it with their ordinary naval armaments. In it's existing form the apparatus has a pow erful areo-motor and propeller and steel-lined hydroplane hull, on which 1t skins across the water at express speed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. g. Befor~ Congress adjourns its regular session legislation, supported by the War De- partment. will undoubtedly be sought which will authorize the retirement. "honorably and with appreciation of services" of between 700 and 800 reg ular army officers.
 Under stress of necessity during the latter wartime days many officers were promoted who lacked 100 per cent efficiency, according to the War Department officials, and this must remedied.
 The plan already preached by Gen eral. Pershing, Chief of Staff, to the House Military Affairs Committee. is expected to take the form of hill draft for presentation to both Houses of Congress at an early date.
 a General Pershing believes that the U. s. Army should have the benefit of the most efficient officers avail able, and the weeding-out process will be vigorously prosecuted by him. To- day there are practically no second lieutenants in the regular army.
 This condition cannot prevail" said General Pershing There have been too rapid promotions. Army of ficers must be proficient, but there are degrees of efficiency, and the American army must have the best.
 General Pershing Is adamant In his determination that, under existing conditions, the United States army must not be less than 150,0O0 men, we'll officered.
 If Congress favors the proposed legislation a shake-up all along the line of officers will be made.
