ALL TORPEDOES TO BE REMOVED
 FROM CRUISERS
Cannot Be Used With Any Effect on the 10000
 Ton Warships

Washington, July 6.-UP).- The navy, anxious to modernize fighting ships preliminary to start of an extensive program of new construction, is about to remove torpedoes from its 10000 ton cruis- CTS, the United Press learned to- day. They cant be used effectively from the heavy cruisers, and con- stitute a menace, say old navy heads. hence the torpedoes will be removed this month at Newport News, Va. by order of Secretary of the Navy Claude A. Swanson.
 4 survey disclosed that such cruisers never find themselves in a position to use torpedoes ac- curately." In addition, it was said, torpedoes are a menace to men and other equipment directly hit by an enemy she would cause loss of many lives. Eight heavy cruisers built prior to 1892, are equipped with triple torpedo tubes. Destroy era, named torpedo boats" dur ing the World war. will retain this type of equipment, as will the eight cruisers. However, it was indicated that torpedoes would be eliminated from future heavy cruisers.
 "There has been agitation for some time by forces afioat to re- move the torpedoes from heavy cruisers" said naval officer. Practically all the admirals say they should come off. The navy board and the secretary of the navy have upheld their arguments"
 By taking torpedo equipment from the heavy cruisers it will be possible to install added equip ment of more practical use and still adhere to treaty limitations.

 Immediately he instituted cor rective measures. Housemaids hustled to the attack with disin- fectants. Plasterers closed min ute wall cracks. A fumigation ex- pert was summoned.

 Fishman didn't go. The tele- phone blurred again.

Higher Retail Sales Reported By ReDietU
Dun and Bradstreet Inc Make Weekly Summary of
 Business Being Done in New England

Boston, July 6-CU.P.)- Higher retail sales, sustained activity in shoe manufacturing and a lower trend in textile production were reported by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc, to-day in the Weekly Review of New England trade conditions.
 Sales of new automobiles still are above last years" the review said, although the gain for June is apparently considerably less than for April and May. Building production Is approaching the level of about double last years figures.
 While there has been steadily increasing interest in the wool mar ket, manufacturers are refraining from placing any sizeable contracts for wool. The current turnover is due mostly to the need for replac- ing stock for filling orders. There has been little price change. The woolen goods market is showing slightly more signs of activity, but manufacturers, as a rule, have not commenced buying in any quantity.
 Cotton mills still are operating on curtailed basis, but most mills are fairly active, and sales of fin ished cotton are nearly up to the output. The finer goods particular ly are the subject of considerable interest in the trade. The yarn market continues very slow, al- though there is some likelihood of more activity in woolen and. wor- sted numbers.
 ''The outlook for hides is rather uncertain, although there have not been any recent price changes. Shoe production in New England showed a consid erable gain during April, slight recessions in May, and June production very close to the previous years figures. Manufact- urers have been slow to increase their commitments for leather, al- though, the week has seen a slight increase in orders. Prices are firm.
 Building contracts awarded in New England have for the past three months been running from 25 to 50 per cent ahead of last year. due largely to the stimulation of government contracts. Building materials are selling in moderate quantities, with prices unchanged.

 The United States has been much concerned over the morator- ium issues.
 Dodd was expected to inquire re- garding Germany's special arrange ment to pay interest on the Dawes and Young separations bonds to Great Britain-an arrangement made only by threat of trade war.
 It was believed Dodd would say that if Germany discriminated against American bond holders, the effect on American public opin- ion would be very severe.
