thermore their cruising radius would
be limited. However, since they would
be built primarily to remain close to
the Mediterranean and especially
the channel coasts they would not
be handicapped as their bases
would be close by. Because of this
and because of Frances traditional
policy is one of defense, proponents
of this type of craft point out that
they would meet every requirement
Each of these units would be cap
able of high speed. Each would be
equipped with two torpedo tubes
and would be excellent for scouting
and detective work and could rain
havoc on slow, heavy cruisers.
Many experts point out that there
is no reason for submarines of the
Surcouf type. Despite the l3,000-mile
cruising radius, the IA torpedo tubes
and the seaplane she carries, the
Surcof's size makes her an easy tar
get for enemy planes or ships, es-
pecially the German vestpocket
units, as the maximum speed when
not immersed is only 19 knots.

PARIS. Nov. 26. WR)-The mid
get or vestpocket cruisers and tor
pedo boats which have been so sue
cessfnlly adopted by Germany, have
started the French wondering if
the idea could not be applied to
underwater craft as well.
Par from building navy on the
same lines of that of 1914, the Ger
mans are busily putting together
one that is radically different, pay
ing greatest stress to speed and
flexiblity. Germany startled the
world in 1890 with its vestpocket
cruisers of 10000 tons. Two are COM
pleted and two others are being
constructed.
This year Germany again sprung
a surprise by introducing the vest
pocket torpedo boats. also known as
FLYING boats or death boats" They
have a displacement of 200 tons and
are capable of a speed of 65 miles
an hour.

the Versailles treaty and was given
an official whitewash by the Brit
ish Admiralty in connection with
its future navy, France has become
more determined than ever to main-
tain naval superiority over its ira
ditional enemy. Consequently France
is seriously considering revising the
building program drastically to
match the new German units.
Since France is primarily inter
ested in a navy for defensive, 1t
naturally favors the submarine. At
present France possesses 66 of them,
including the giant Surcouf, the
worlds largest submersible craft
with displacement of $3.50 tons.
The other 65 units include 35 of
800 tons and 80 of 600 tons.
Frances present building pro-
gram calls for four units at $500
tons and four of 600 tons. How
ever. it is seriously considering re-
vising the program to include a
number of units of between 200 and
$50 tons to match the German vest
pocket types.
These submarines would be known
at "paSse-partout," which translated
means pass everywhere As their
names implies, these midget units
would be able to go everywhere.
They could approach bases and ports
of the enemy practically undetected
and slip away at fast speed.

ODD SCIENTIFIC
INSTRU MENTS
COLLECTED

PARIS, Nov. 25. UR)-Something
unique in scientific museums, which
may go on exhibit at the Paris EX-
position of 1897, has been turned up
at the chateau of La Champion
there, in the department of the
Sarthe.
1t is the complete collection of in
Struments used by Lavoisier, father
of modern antiphlogistic chemistry
which many persons thought had
been destroyed in the French Revo-
luton in which Lavoisier was gull
lotined because, in his zeal to earn
enough money to enable him to con-
duct his experiments, he had ac-
cepted the unpopular job of tax
collector.
A few students knew that Lavoi-
sier's Instruments had not been de-
stroyed in the Revolution. They
knew that when Dumas published the
complete edition of Lavoisier's works
in 1854 he was able to examine the
great chemists instruments. They
knew that the apparatus for max
ing water synthetically by mixing
hydrogen and oxygen and the calori-
meter in the Conservatory of Arts
and Trades came from that collec-
ton, but no one knew where it was
Collection Carefully Arranged
Maurice d'Ocagne, geometrist and
member of the Academy of Sciences
found the Layoisier collection by ac-
cident in the chateau of Nine
Etienne de Chazelles, descended
from Nine. Leon de Chazelles, resi-
duary legatee of Nine. Lavoisier. IT
may be seen there now, carefully ar
ranged and ticketed, together with
the scientists library.
Among the instruments are sew
eral beautifully made scales, or
which Lavoisier, first of all scien-
fists to submit his findings to the
uncompromising test of mathema-
tics, based his work. 1t was theii
precision that enabled him to enun-
ciate the principle that nothing is
ever lost, nothing is ever created.

TRIBUNE JUNIORS CAPTURE GROWN
 IN 'HILL' GAME
Stirring Contest Ends l8- l7-Turkey Supper for
 Winners Sunday

Tribune Juniors won the bas- ketball championship Of he Abri- gador and a turkey supper that goes with 1t when they squeezed out another one point win over the Washingon Hill Juniors last night at Washington Park Community court. hTe final and third game score was 18-17. So evenly matched are the teams that only one point separaes them in total point score for three games. 64 to 53, a somewhat remarkable condition in, any hoop loop.
 Slow Start
 Inability to "get going" early in the game, plus the blowing of pair of free tries and the added fact that they missed half of l4 foul awards, cost the Hills the game, though they put on a stir ring finisi. that threatened to send the game into overtime. Passing well, the Tribes got off to a 9-S leal after eight minutes of play with the same margin holding at half time 12 to 6, and i've point edge still showing for the Tribes going into the final heat, but the Hill offense netted a couple of long hoops which brought the teams nearly even. With a chance to win the game on two free tries. Apples" Murphy missed both losses in behalf of the Hills and the game wound up shortly after ward with the Tribunes a point in front. Sheehan, Carroll and O'Neil stood out for the winners with Curley, Grady and Martin keeping the Hills in the game. Summary:

 New York, March 26-(U.PO- O-- Luigi D'Ambrosio who, as Lou Ambers, meet Barney Ross for the lightweight championship in June, paid us visit to-day and, without even removing his polo coat, fought the entire fifteen rounds in advance.
 His preview of the title battle was made more remarkable by the fact that he fought it while sitting in a swivel chair with his legs crossed. Not once. during the whole fight, did Ross hit him hard enough to turn him around. Nor could Barney, despite a game ral- ly in the eleventh, manage to muss Lou's hair, take the shine off his shoes, nor unbutton his vest.
 At the finish L0u still was a fashion plate,' while poor Ross, his title gone, was plum tuckered out.
 'T thought you had him in the ninth, Lou," I said after 1t was all over.
 "So did l." he answered. That was a sweetheart of right l caught him with. He can take all right. But he was awful tired at the finish. Another round and Ida had him."

STELLAR DOUBLE
 HEADER ON "
 BROOKLYN COURT
Falcons and Cowboys,
 ReymOnds and Cadets Play Tonight

The second round of the Brook lyn l. Inter-Club League will be an elimination event between the first four place teams and the first games will be played tonight with one of the best double headers ever staged this year being offered to the public for five cents.
 The first game will bring to- gether the Falcons and Cowboys at 7:30 o'clock and the main at- traction will show the first round winners the Raymond Hillies stacking up against the Cadets. The two winners of to-night's games will meet for the champion ship of the second round on Thurs day night.
 The Cowboys upset the Falcons in the first round but the Falcons have since added Mike Higgiston to their ranks and should take the Cowboys over the hurdles tonight. The Falcons looked bad against the Hillies last week but have put in two practice sessions since and fig- ure that if they win tonight they will get another shot at the Hillies.
 The Cadets will show Willie White in their lineup in an attempt to hand the Hillics their first set back of the season in the Y league. If the Hillies lost tonight they will be out of the second rounc and will meet the winner of Thurs day nights game.
 From the looks of things 1t seems probable that the Falcons and Hillies will meet again this Thursday and a win for the Hillies will give them the championship of the Y for the second successive year. If the Falcons take the Cow boys tonight and Hillies on Thurs day night the both teams will have to play another game before the winner of the Y league is known.
