BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, FEB. 17, 1917. é ASSOCIATED PRESS —__———$___— SS PLAN i “Sea Wasps,”’ of American Shipyards, | to Replace Submarines Chasers Have Already Sunk 289 Submarines in Space of Five Months By F. M. KERBY, New. York, Feb. 17—‘“The ‘Sea- Wasps’ will do the trick, or—it can’t be done.” That, ina nutshell, is the opinion of the best informed shipbuilders, sub- | marine men, and:naval' experts in| New York. on: the’ ‘possibility of the! British navy meeting the latest Ger- man U-boat menace.'* They say the ‘Wasps’ will do away with Germany's submarines. The “Sea-Wasps” or “M. L.’s” as they are officially known in the Brit- ish admiralty, are the product of Yan- kee shipyards. They are 80 feet long, 12-feet on the beam, and draw only four and a half feet of water, thereby making them practically immune fronr tor- pedo attack. . Five hundred and fifty “submarine chasers” have gone to the British fleet, shipped on the decks of liners and freighters from Canadian ports, and built by the Submarine Boat cor- poration in its Canadian plant. Since October,71916, confidential: re- ports to the builders: of::these ‘boats here show that 289 German submar- ines have been destroyed by them. In other words, it is believed here the new: submarine attack is being carried out by an entirely: new fleet of German U-boats, and that they in turn are doomed to destruction before the three-inch guns mounted on these fast, big launches. In design,, the “wasps” are really comfortable ocean-going yachts, quick- ly convertible into submarine chas The last. of ‘the shipment of built by this company was completed, by a coincidence, in exactly 550 days —one year and a half, Twelve thousand men worked on them day and night, putting into place the 500,000 separate parts of which they are constructed. With 500 horsepower in their mot- ors, they attain a speed of 22 miles an hour, and are so easily handled they can turn in their own length. The three-inch guns mounted for- ward can contend successfully with any armament so far placed on sub: marines, and with a cruising radius of 700 miles at 22 miles an hour, or 1500 miles at 14 miles per hour, they are the most effective means for keep- ing down the subs so far devised. According to reports from the oth- er side, three of these boats kept the sea during the terrific storm which was raging on the night the cruiser carrying Lord Kitchener was blown up by a mine. 2 ‘Their sea-keeping qualities are such as to allow for a sea patrol of 10 days’ duration. _They are manned by ten officers and men. ° (NATIONAL RESERVE AND HISTORICAL PARK TO BE CREATED FROM BERTHOLD Historic Fort Berthold reservation. the ancient home of the Mandan, Hid- atsa and Arkickara Indians, will be made a national reserve and historic park, if congress looks with favor upon a concurrent resolution intro- duced by the house committee on be- lated bills yesterday under the name of J. F. T. O'Connor. The resolution calls upon: congress to take such steps as may prove necessary to con- vert. 253 acres in the northwest part of the reservation into a national re- serve. .

Five Months and England Has New Supply of 550 More, HOUSE PASSES Representative : Dupuis Explains ‘Bill in No ‘Way Affects '‘Ex- visting Lignite Rates PLANNED TO RECALL MEASURE IN SENATE Under suspension of rules, the house this afternoon placed senate bill 77, a copy of the Cashman dis- tance tariff act, on third reading and passed it without a dissenting vote, after Chairman Dupuis had explain- ed that’ the bill in no wise affected existing lignite coal rates. It is understood that it had been planned to recall this bill in the sen- ate this afternoon and to amend it so,-as to specifically protect lignite coal rates, and that knowledge of this intention prompted the house to take the summary action recorded. The senate committee on judiciary presented a majority report substitut- ing an entirely new bill for Wens- trom’s initiative measure. A minor- ity of the committee recommended that the biJl as printed pass. After much debate. McCarten objected to the consideration of the report which deferréd action until the next. legis- ARREST QUEER ACTING MAN IN MORGAN SUITE (United Press) New York, Feb, 17—A man, who said he was Mayon Crowley, a clerk, was arrested in the offices of J.

Captain Polack was prepared to visit Hot Springs, Va., at the time, but changed his plans and returned to this city. Continuing his testimony, the cap- tain declared that the embassy offi- cials said to him: The relations between the two countries are being severed and the condition is very ious.” The witness testified that he inquir- ed whether the machinery was to be disabled immediately and that he re- ceived an affirmative answer. Cap- tain Moller, he said, did not partici- pate in this conversation. Judge Morton stated that if the point were pressed; he would find that the owners had acquiesced in the damage to the vessel, and would hold them in contempt.
