~ CRUISER UPSETS -~ OLDLMTATIONS New German Warship May Cause Revision of Treaty on Armament. American naval officers see & possibil- ity that construction of the new Ger-! man war vessel, Ersatz Preussen, may | eventually necessitate some revision of | the Washington treaty on the “limita- tion of naval armament,” as far as the rules- governing ship design are con- cerned. The vessel is termed “an en- tirely new departure from current naval design,” “The German constructors have pro- duced a noteworthy ship, the comple- tion of which bids fair to mark an epoch in naval design,” says the Bulletin of Engineering Information, published by the Navy Department, and made public today. “She will be unique in many ways, not least in respect of cost, since the estimate for the ship, complete with armament, is $20,000,000 or $2,000 per ton. Three further units of the class are projected. The appearance of these vessels may have far-reaching reactions in the international naval situation, for they will, introduce a factor that was _ NEW GERMAN CRUISER. in tandem, and six 19.7-inch torpedo tubes on triple carriages, one at each side of the quarter deck. The big guns are reported to have a loading gear of a new pattern which enables a very rapld rate of fire to be maintained. ‘Their utmost range is 30,000 yards.” The Ersatz Preussen “is to be driven by internal-combustion engines develop- ing up to 50,000 brake horsepower, the maximum speed being 26 knots.” “There (is- 8 good deal of mystery admiralty after a prolonged and costly series of experiments, and are now being constructed in ths shops of Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nurnberg,” says the bulletin, “They appear to represent a great advance in existing internal-combustion practice, since it is officially stated that they develop a unit of horsepower for every 17}z pounds of weigh BELIEVES WIFE DEAD; WEDS, GETS JAIL TERM Man Who Paid Mate’s Funeral Ex- penses Is Adjudged a Bigamist Upon His Remarriage, ' By the Associated Press, MCALESTER, Okia,, April 19.—Fred funeral ex; his Smythe penses wife and, quite naturally, believed dead.

They are faster than any existing battleship, and it is difficult to see how any vessel other than a battle cruiser could deal with them.” The bulletin points out that “the Ersatz Preussen is (o carry sufficient fuel for a continuous voyage of 10,000 miles at a speed of 20 knots.” The ob- servation is made that if these figures were not vouched for by the German admiralty they would be almost in- credible, and that “no vessel now afloat, whether man-of-war or liner, is able to steam anything like that distance at the speed stated.” Great Ingenuity in Design. ‘The Ersatz Preussen is described as a “nondescript type, combining in some degree the offensive and defensive bow- ers of a capital ship with the speed and sea-keeping endurance of a cruiser.” Restricted by the Versallles treaty to & displacement of 10,000 tons, the Ger- man constructors are said to have ex- hibited great ingenuity in economizing weight. The bulletin points out that “the hull of the ship is composed of the highest-grade steel, and wherever possi- ble light metals have been substituted for steel in the general equipment of the shin.” with a resultant “net saving of 550 tons” being cleimed to have been effected in the construction of the hull, This description of the new fighting craft is given:-“Protection is very com- plete. There is an end-to-end belt ris- ing to a considerable height above the water line, many of the armor plates being incorporated as elements of the hull " proper; double-armor decks are worked over vital spaces, and extensive subdivision has been adopted as a de- fonse against underwater explosions. The freeboard is comparatively lofty, and the guns have a high command, which should enable them to be fought in rough weather. “The main s*mament counsists of six 11-inch guns- 'n triple turrets, with mountings pesiitting a high angle of elevation; eight 5.9-inch guns behind shields, four 3.4-inch anti-aircraft guns SHIPPING NEWS Arrivals at and Sailings From New York.
