NAVAL EXPIRES
 STUDY DIESELS FOR WARSHIPS
U. s. May Equip One New Vessel With German
 Engine

Washington-(UP - American naval experts have agreed tenta- lively on plans calling for use of Diesel engines in at least one new warship.
 Installation of these oii-burning motors would mark another step in new naval policy designed to match foreign Improvements and increase the effectiveness of the U. s. fleet, while keeping within the limitations of the disarmament treaties.
 Efficiency at Premium
 This general policy of increased effectiveness without increase in size is described by navy tacticians as the substitution of quality for quantity" in the race for naval su- premacy. With the navies of the world limited in size by treaties, a premium has been placed on efi- ciency.
 The Germans were the first to combine the new naval technique in one ship. Their newest cruiser is a light, fast, well protected ship driven by powerful Diesel engines which make the vessel practically independent of naval bases.
 That, American naval experts have been working effectively along the same lines is evidenced in tho new so-cal1ed 10000 ton treaty cruisers" which have a dispiace- ment nearer 5000 than 10000 tons.

Already many officers of monarchist sympathics have taken advaptage of the gov crnment's gesture and retired on pensions. The latter arc n guar nntec of their good behavior. For the pensioners know that If they tried any conspiracies against the government, not only would they lose their pension at once, but would also be put on trial.

Ohio Wheat Report, December

The acreage sown to wheat in
Ohio this fall has been reduced nine
percent according to A. r. Tuttle or
the Federal Crop Reporting Service.
Weather since the time of sowing
has been especially favorable to
plant growth and as a result Ohio
winter wheat has made more
growth than usual before winter.
The condition on December l was
95 percent which is compared with
81 percent in 1880 and the 10 year
average of "a percent. For the
United States 38,682,O00 acres of
winter wheat was sown this fall, a
reduction of 4,467,000 acres or
1914 percent from the sowings in
the fall of 1880. Condition on Dec.
/, was 1914 percent or So points
below the condition on Dec. 1 J.
1880, and 3.S percent below the
10 year average.
