Buy Vessels to
Link New Bases
Army toSpend$23, 600, 900;
Plan to Expand Forces
In Alaska.

WASHINGTON.-The war depart
ment has completed plans for $685.
100000 program for additional YES
sells to serve Atlantic bases leased
from Great Britain and the army
garrison in Alaska, it was learned.
Plans for a tremendous expan-
sion" of the Alaska force also were
disclosed. Details could not be
learned, however, because of tight
ened army regulations that no in
formation will be given on plans to
strengthen outlying defense posts.
The ship purchases will be made
by the quartermaster corps, the
coast artillery and the air corps, it
was said. Most of them will be
small craft of varying types which
can navigate easily in small har-
bors and shallow waters at the vari-
GUS bases.
Other Phases of Program.
It was understood that $1,000, 900
Of the funds would be earmarked to
pay for three passenger iners-the
President Roosevelt, President JEFF
ferson and President Mckinley
which were obtained from the mari
time commission for conversion into
troop transports.
Other phases of the program were
said to include:
Air corps-Acquisition of num-
Der of small armored boats, rescue
ships, picket boats and other shall
low-draft vessels.
Quartermaster corps-Purchase of
two 300-foot passenger-freight boats
of 5000 tons each which would be
capable of transporting about 600
men and 1,500 tons of freight.
Coast artillery-Eight whale boats
and two motor sailers for target and
general defense work and four mine
planters.
Order Greater Speed.
Greater speed also was ordered
for the governments cargo ship
building program, and maritime
commission officials predicted that
vessels totaling between $780, 900
and 1900, O00-the World war rate
would slide off the ways in 1912.
Arrangements have been made
for 40 new ways for the mass pro-
duction of 312 merchant ships under

Makes New Approach to
Safety in War Lighting

MIDDLETOWN, CONN.-An Aus
TRAN refugee, Gerald ]. Holton, now
a senior at Wesleyan university. has
constructed street-lighting device
for afraid 'tblackouts" that he be-
lieves is superior to those now in use
in England.
Holten said the present lights in
Britain give visibility comparable
to starlight, which he contended
was not sufficient for safety. He
cited the fact that 1000 pedestrians
a month were being killed in Eng.
land by automobiles.
Holder of an engineering certifi.
cate from Oxford, Holton explained
his blackout device makes streets
appear dark from above while hav.
ing enough light to guide stree,
traffic and permit rapid filling OF
AFRAID shelters.
Holton was born in Berlin OF Wen.
nese parents and reared in Vienna
He went to England in 1888 ano
went through Oxford in two years
He left for America the day Italy

MachineCunI Is
Need of Army
Seek Arm to Revolutionize
Warfare; Competitive
Tests in Fall.

WASHINGTON. - Some bicycle
mechanic in Weepaw may share
history's page with Ericsson, Cat
ling and Maxim if he can built a
light air-cooled machine gun for the
army.
It cannot be just another model
or type or design. 1t must revolu-
tionize warfare.
Military tacticians do not expect
wizardry suddenly to turn the tide
of battle with a fabulous instru-
ment. More likely, they say, some
obscure citizen may hit upon what
ever new weapon" wins this war
and it may be simple evolution
of rapid-fire armament now well
known.
Hold Tests in Fall.
Mai. Gen. G. M. Wesson. chief OF
ordnance, will supervise competi-
tive tests by inventors and designers
at the Aberdeen proving grounds in
October. Specifications call for a
superior type of light machine
gum capable of firing 1850 rounds
of belt-fed cartridges without heat
ing" and embracing "all the desir-
able characteristic" of the 16-pound
automatic clip rifle.
No nation now possesses such con-
centrated and mobile fire-power for
individual combat. If the army gets
it, this deadliest of all small arms
will be standardized for infantry
and cavalry.
General Wesson may accept some
thing less ambitious if it is good.
However, the gun in mind would
have almost the range and accuracy
of the shoulder rifle and fire $50
bullets in a single burst. Without
equal counter-fire or defense an
enemy would be almost helpless.
Inventors Are Busy.
Although the new National Inven-
tors council receives almost 300
'war inventions" daily and the ord
nance department and commercial
arms manufacturers constantly
have worked on Improvements since
the last World war, the department
says no one has succeeded in light
ening the water-cooled machine gun
or designing an air-cooled weapon
that would not overhead, jam and
misfire.
The 46-pound water-cooled limo
vation' was General Pershing's
pride in the Meuse-Argonne. Now
it is antiquated by the 22-pound air.
cooled gun, which in turn is out
NODDED by the British "Bren" and
German guns.
The American air-cooled gun is
not very effective beyond 100 yards,
compared with 600 for the shoulder
rifle; it burns out soon unless ex-
pertly fired in short bursts, and pri-
marily is a defense rather than
an attack weapon.
