it to-day. 1t was doubt in he'face
of a miracle, which he believed i'm
possible, for he thought it an insane
illusion that even Christ could rise
from the dead. What convinced
Thomas was rot argument, for no
doubter is convinced ov argument.
He was convinced by fact of ex-

CHARTERED sub
Simon Lakes Boat 10 Be Used
BY United States

Bridgeport. Dec. UP)-Word
was received at the offices of Lake
and Danenhower. Inc. here from
Washington today that the govern
ment has chartered the submarine
rescue boat Defender" for tests
next month.
The information was sent by Cap
tain Sloan Danenhower, who is su-
perintending refitting of Simon
Lakes 17-year-old submersible with
unique rescue and safety devices.
Danenhower has been comforting
with navy officials this week. He
said the S-4, upon which the De-
fender will demonstrate its devices,
will be ready about Dec. 10. The
Defender will be ready for deep
water work in about two weeks,
Tests soon
Danenhower's message revealed
that the first tests in which the two
underwater boats will participate
will take place in Block Island
Sound instead Of off the Virginia
capes as had previously been an
nounced.
The 81 is at present at Ports
mouth, n. H., navy yard where
workers have been busy for several
months repairing the damage that
was done when the steel prov of the
coast guard destroyed Paulding sent
it to the bottom off Provincetown,
Mass, year ago this month with a
loss of 40 lives. Several new safety
features have been built into the S4
during its recommissioning. Among
these is an air lock, by which 1t is
hoped men may be transferred from
the submarine into the sea while
maintaining the water-tight integrity
of the hull.
Several Volunteers
II is believed that several volun-
teers. wearing the recently developed
''lung"-an apparatus permitting
breathing under water for short per-
iods-will be shifted from the S-4 to
the Defender They Will enter the
Defender through a trap door in the
bottom of the hull, entering a COM
partment under air pressure slightly
greater than the sea pressure.
According to information received

little less than year ago was a base
for divers working on the S-4. Will

the natives and white settlers de-
pend upon native runners for COM

"The Tanganyika Central Railway
was completed in 1914, a few
months before the world war
began. In the East African cam
paign 106 of it's bridges were blown
up and crossings and water supply
stations destroyed. Most of the de-
struction took place on the stretch
over which the Prince of Wales
travelled to the sea.
Since the war service has been
resumed but owing to the lack of
development of the region through
which it runs. many of the original
stations are closed until they man
be profitably used. When the pro-
posed Cape-to- Cairo railroad is COM
pleted the Tanganyika Central will
be an important rib in the great
