Lusitania expedition.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November % (NA
N.A).-By the first of the year, If the
British authorities give final sanction
to a project now well under way, ]
hope to see the decks of the Cunarder
Lusitania, which was sunk in 10 min
utes by German torpedo in 1915, with
the loss of 1,198 lives, including those
of nearly 200 American citizens.
In the safe of the purser, which, in
a salvaging expedition, we expect to
be able to bring to the surface, there
will undoubtedly be documents of vast
Importance, and as our men go into
the depths of the ship they will find
effects which may give to poSterity
lasting mementoes of one of the great
disasters OF history.
Thew will be photographs OF the
dining salon. taken with special ap-
paratus which has been perfected for
Photographic work under water. These
will show how the magnificent room Of
moments between the direct hit of the
torpedo and the sinking of the vessel,
looks today.
To the layman this project of ours
may sound like another story from the
pen of Jules Verne, and I am almost
amused at the incredulity which lay
men have evinced for the last 16 years.
Enterprise Stopped by War.
Twenty years ago I invented a tube
designed to recover the treasure of the
Loutine, a British frigate sunk off Hol-
lands zuyder Zee with $4,000, 900 in
gold bullion aboard. Lloyd's of London
has kept an eye on the treasure for $50
years.
The war stopped that enterprise, for
l was called hack to build more sub
marines for the United States Govern
ment. I recently started to operate
under contract, building the apparatus
for the LuSitania venture. The under
water part of it was thoroughly de-
veloped and has been proven in re-
covering cargoeS from a number of
ships sunk at lesser depth than that
Of the LuSitania.
1t Is simply question of increasing
the length Of our incloSed apparatus,
arranging for details above the surface
and handling the subsurface mechanics
necessary for this particular job. In
other words, the theory has been proved
sound, and it Is now only job for the
steel production plant.
Now, the LuSitania was not sunk in
the middle OF the ocean, and her keel
Is only 240 feet beneath the surface,
eight miles from the Irish coast. The
top deck, a deck, Is only ITS feet below,
and the stacks are naturally higher up
AS see it definitely, after numerous
experiments and after having received
many reports concerning Britain's Win
ter coastal conditions, we should have
the safe on board a trawleT ~ithin two
days after our soundings identify the
sunken ship. expect to 60 down to

Odette Myrtil, who lives on Long Island, N. Y, has become a mack erel fishing enthusiast during the unusually heavy run this year in the Sound. She baits her own hooks and uses worms. Miss Myrtil is an NEG star, directing the Gay tees orchestra and acting as mis- tress of ceremonies.
 Mildred Bailey, blues singer over the NEG network Is now taking the Paul Whiteman diet and has lost two pounds in three days. That brings this Midge down to a mere 1S9, just twelve pounds less than the King himself. On the other hand, Jack Fulton, Irish tenor, is drinking quarts of cream to put on avoirdupois.

to Max Schmeling's reputation. 1t

not tougher. He took all the Georgian

have gone another 10 rounds.
But what the fight fans are asking
themselves now is whether Schmeling
could have come on to beat Sharkey.
Here seems to be a hot point for dis
cussion. Some of them will tell you
that Sharkey deliberately fouled when
he learned that he couldn't hurt the
German. Others declare just as posi-
lively that Max wasn't much hurt by
the punch. But that he had taken all
the beating he was looking for and
was glad to win on a foul
About the only way to settle the thing
to every ones satisfaction would be to
match Sharkey and Schmeling again

whether Max would be as confident

Princeton Is in favor Of this course

ENHANCES are imminent at the
Military Academy. For one
thing, Biff Jones avill be back,
having spent year of study in
the school of fire at the big Artillery
post, Fort Sill, Okla. He Will slide INTO
the niche to be vacated by Lieut.. Royal
Lord. who returns to his regiment OF
Engineers at Fort Lewis, Seattle, after
several years of distinguished service at
the Point. For one thing, he construct
ed that big skating rink up there, by
all odds the finest and most perfectly
appointed rink in the country.
Lieut.. Johnny Stokes, center coach.
goes out to the Preside to join MS
infantry regiment and his merry soul
will no longer eniiven West Point Wnen
things are not going we'll with the team
and gloom hangs heavy over Crow Nest.
Col. Whipple, adjutant at West Point,
goes to Fort Hamilton to be adJutant
there. He will not be so far away from
the Academy as to feel out OF toucn
with athletic conditions, for which ne
has a whole hearted enthusiasm. No
doubt he will be one Of the Army party
that goes annually to Saratoga for the
races. But his experience of last year
may have tinctured his interest some
what.
It appears that he, together with sew
eral brother officers of the Army Ath-
letic Association, was sitting in at the
auction which closes the Saratoga sea-
son. The day was warm and the pro-
ceedings were dragging. Col. Whipple
grew drowsy. He did not fight too hard
against his somnolence, for it was a
dreamy day. So when at length bid
for 3 thoroughbred had gone up to
$500 and the auctioneer cried, who
bids 1872" Col. Whipple nodded. He nod
ded in sleep. but the auctioneer did not
know that.
'The colonel" he announced trium-
phantly. bids 16 hundred" Col:
his eyes. What was going on? He
had, Mai. Fleming advised him, just
bid 81, 500 for q horse. Sixteen hundred
dollars for o horse! The good colonel
sat frozen with horror until after q
minute, in which he lived year, some
good angel bid $3.50 and the Army was
saved. r
Bif Jones' return to West Point will
be welcomed by every one and nothing
has come over the wires to indicate that
he is sorry he is coming. Last Fall he
was pretty closely in touch with the
game of foot ball, which he coached at
West Point for three years while at the
same time serving as an instructor in
field artillery courses. He worked pretty
nearly every Saturday as an cfdcial in
games of the Southwestern Conference
and gave unvarying satisfaction.

will, however, be entirely administrative
and his association with foot ball will
lie pretty exclusively on that side.
None the less Biff always in the
popular mind will be associated with
the playing Of the game. He comes of
a great foot ball generation at West
Point; he trod the same field with the
ELEPHANTS, McEwans, Vidals and other
of the nlustrious and he himself was
man of doughty exploits. Elected cap
tain Of the 1917 outfit, he was graduated
ahead of time and hurried off to France
long before the foot ball season came
around, and when it did West Point was
thinking of many important things
other than foot ball.
Biff saw precisely one week Of fight
ing at the front But in that week he
was up in an airplane as an Artillery
observer and air battles were going on
all around him. He says that week was
plenty.
