BIG WARSHIP SUNK BY ARMY BOMBERS Ostfriesland Receives Death! Blow From Two Great Martin Airplanes. By the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va, July 21. ‘The for- badly jarred by 1,000-pound bombs hurled from Army Martin bombers shortly before noon, sank at 12:45 this afternoon. Her death blow was given her by two 2,000-pound bombs released by Army Martins. Three bombs were to have been dropped in this attack. NORFOLK, Va., July 21.—With fa- vorable weather at the target site the bombing of the former German bat- tleship Ostriesland was resumed sixty miles off the capes shortly before 10 o'clock this morning. Bombs of. 1,000 to 2,000 pounds are being used by Army and Navy Martins and transat- lantic NC planes. The first experiments with non-ex- plosive fourteen-inch armor-piercing shells, carried by NCs and Army Mar- tins, also were made this morning. The first flight dispatched from the air station at the naval base, consist- ing of a division of five NCs, with thousand-pound bombs, was followed closely by a dispatch of five Army Martins from Langley Field, similarly equipped. Projectiles Filled With Sand. The second phase of today's attack was wtih the fourteen-inch projec- tiles. These are filled witn sand and weigh approximately 1,400 pounds, and were to be dropped from greater altitude than that at which most of the bombing has been done. in order that they might have momentum. The celling was reported as fairly high, and the result of the second experi- ment of the day promises to be en- lightening on the point of value of Chicago, the Amcrican amateur cham pion, ‘by one shot.

Despite erratic play around the put- ting greens Duncan had a 37 on the first nine. He holed an eight-foot putt on the ninth green for a 5, after being trapped on his second shot. Hackney, his partner, had a 7 on the fifth hole as a result of two Pooi lies.

A detailed stroke analysis of his play showed that he made forty strokes. - He putted for birdles on twelve greens and did not run down putts on five greens. The weather today was even bet- ter than the good golfing weather of yesterday. A gentie northeast wind kept the atmosphere cool and the hu- {nxémy of the last two days was lack- ng.

Consolidation of the 150 independent printing plants of the Post Office De-| partment, the War Department and; the Navy Department Is being consld- ered by the bureau of the budget as a means of eliminating duplicated expenses in overhead costs and main- | tenance of the plants. The plants are scattered throughout the country and, collectively, they handle milifons of dollars in print- ng work annually. They buy ma-! terials in the open market and are conducted, on the whole, it was said today, 'in’mu!l a general centralized lan of operation. ’-mne Printer George H. Carter dis- cussed this matter yestgrday with Gen. Dawe: rector of fhe budget. Preliminary plans were outlined, but the point of direction of the proposed nsolidation of plants was not reach- od. Favorite consideration, however, furned upon the collgction and cen- tralization of the plants in large cities, which would cover a large radius of territory needing the print- ing. i | | 4 i i Local Plant Would Direet. Eventually, it is believed, the plants | will be placed under the direction of the government printing office here, where supplies could be obtained and expenditures made through the im- mense purchasing organisation in this city. One of the cuts in printing appro- priations sought, Mr. Carter said to- day, was that of “authors’ correc- tions.” Scventy-five per cent of this; work, he said, was avoidable through more’ careful preparation of copy by authors of various governmental pamphlets and circulars. In some cases the proofs are revised and re- written three and four times. Almost one million dollars was estimated as the cost of such corrections in copy during_the last five years. Cost Doublex in Ten Years. . Incidentally, Gen. Dawes was in- formed, the cost of the government printing office work had more than doubled duripg the last ten years. Thirteen mfl?h)n! of dollars’ worth of work were turned out of the shop last year, as against some six mil- lions of dollars’ worth ten years ago. Another item to which the economy agents of the government are giving attention is that of multigraphing in government departments. A typical case Is cited as follows: A department exhausts its printing ap- propriation prematurely. The work cannot be done in the government printing office without a waiver from the public printer. unless a deficiency appropriation is obtained. To avoid this the department will Send the work to a multigrapher, who turns out work similar in many details to printing. The cost, however, stretch- es far beyond the printing cost. It was estimated that $2,000,000 in mul- tigraphing work was turned out for governmen past year. BIG BANK IN CHICAGO i i | | Tpper: .

ATTORNEY NANIED Senators at Large Beginning to Realize Power of Agri- cultural Faction. Some lively scrimmages between the agricultural bloc and senators at large are expected when the tariff bill reaches the Senate. The experi- ence in the House with the tariff o hides is said to have been an eye- opener to statesmen not associated with the bloc and to have put them on their guard for tne future. In acquiescence with the demands ‘ol the agriculturists, the Housa put a duty of 15 per cent on all hides and skins. It was said at the time to be |¢xpected by everybody that a com- pensatory duty would be placed on | shoes, but the House yesterday de- clined to do 5o, and now there is trou- ble. Moreover, it is contended that the way the hide «umendment was framed it imposes a duty on certain high-class hides and skins, used in | finer branches of the leather-work- ing art, that are not produced in this cost of manufactured articles far in excess of the proportionate revenue the government will obtain. Bloe Is Powerful. All kinds of allegations about the practical working out of the hide duty are going the rounds. Leather manufacturers came to Washington land charged that the protection of 15 jver cent given the farmer for his jcattle hides would be more than swal- llowed up in the excess cost of shoe harness and leather goods generally, and that he would be the loser in the {end. It has also been asserted that the | packers are dominating and will fur-| ther control the tanning business. The agricultural bloc in the Senate is powerful; admittedly. but it is con- tended that this is because of good will_of senators comprising it to- ward _the agriculturists, _founded upon desire to help them where pos- sible. But, it is asserted, the demands justice and economic logic, with the alternative that if a spirit of reci- procity is not manifested the farmers cannot be cxpected to have every- thing their own way all the time, and jreceive constantly without giving. | Shoe Duty Fight Looma. One proposition which the Senate will consider will be to drop the duty on hides, if the contention is sus- Imnefl that it will nqt really help the farmers, but, if the agricultural bloc |insists upon retaining it. a fight will be Made for a duty on shoes. Senators in both parties who are concerned over the costs of living are expected to give close study to the schedule when it comes up and to make a fight in behalf of the con- sumers against rates calculated keep the prices of shoes and leather goods up. —_— L Picked to Succeed John E.| ENGLAND BARS HILLQUIT.

The delegation has received no word, it was said, that the members of t piariament now m prisou will be leased, 50 as to enable them to attend. The ‘suggestion that Mr. de Valera might go to Belfast to meet Sir James Craig was characterized as “out of the question. The republican leader will leave to- morrow morning for Dublin. According to the Lvening Standard today. the British premier's pro- posals embodied an offer of dominion home rule for southern Ireland, safe- guards for Ulster, important financial concessions_and ‘machinery for co- ordinating Irish government. De Valera arrived at No. 10 Down- ing Street, the official residence of Premier Lioyd George, at 11:30 this morning. A large crowd of Sinn Fein sympathizers was on hand to cheer their leader. While a large number recited the rosary, others waved Sinn Fein flags and sang Irish songs. Farther Proposals. It is understood that the prposals, which are said to have been supple- mented in many respects by Sugges- tions from Premier J. C. Smuts of South Africa, also accord a consider- able measure of fiscal freedom to Ire- land, but avoid extending rights of taxation against England which the latter might not be able to exercise in return against Ireland.

French official circles received a distinct_shock from the British gov- ernment’s reply to the French sug- gestlon that ailied reinforcements be cent to Upper Soliesia, and in some suarters today Anglo-French rela- tions are described as critical as a re- sult. The French government is said to have been unprepared for “the se- verity and unyielding tone” thes this morning’s newspapers indicate char- « acterizes the British communication. Editorial comment’ suggested that the British prime minister, David Lloyd George, acted entirely too hastily in refusing to agree with the French view that additional allied troops were necessary in Upper Si- lesia. The commentors also declare that he failed to inform himself fully regarding the necessity of prompt al- lied action and add that had he wait- ed a few hours longer he would have had before him unanimous report from the allied high commissioners at * Oppelin, in which it is urged that immediate reinforcements be sent. While most newspapers agree that the incident brings Anglo-French re- lations to anothe delicate point, Le Journel says the problem is not in- soluble, and in its final analysis not of a nature to seriously trouble the comity of allied relations.
