NEW SMOKE SCREEN
 BEING ORIGINATED
Navy Department Working or Fog Effects

Washington. May 29.-Having or used by any navy, the American nav, is now developing new smoke screen. Instead of the dense black smoke used by the German navy in escaping the British fleet in the bat tie of Jutland, the new-fangled Am erican screen for ship operations is to be a dense fog and made at a con- siderable saving of money.
 In disclosing the navy departments experiments with the new fog screen Rear Admiral Robinson. chief of the bureau of engineering, told a senate committee that it was believed the fog screen would be even more inn penetrable than the old black smoke clouds. The latter are made by feed- ing too much fuel in the ship boil. CTS This, Admiral Robinson said, was costly, wasting fuel and fouling boiler tubes In some cases it weak ened boiler walls and was dangerous, he said. The engineering bureau now is perfecting plans to make the fog screen by feeding oil above the boil CTS, just below the smoke outlets and Admiral Robinson said the ex- periments so far justify belief that the new fog screen will be more ef- fective and less costly.

When Pope Plus entered St. Peters an emo- tional wave seemed to sweep over the vast throng. The Pontiff himself ap- peared profoundly moved as he lifted his hand to impart the blessing, and cries of long live the Pope viva Plus echoed throughout the edifice.
