DESIGNS SUBS
TO FIGHT SHIPS
Inventor Say# 7,000-Ton
Armored Submersible Will
Be Most Dangerous
London.-—That mammoth submar
ines of hitherto unthought-Okf-slxe
will be a feature of future naval war
fare, Is the prophecy of Professor
Oswald Flamm, famous German giant
submarine designer.
Flamm recently attracted world
wide attention through the announce
ment of his designs for the world’s
largest underwater cruiser, and h*
has been one' of the submarine’s
greatest champions for many years.
Former obstacles, hindering the
construction of giant submarines,
have now been overcome by the
adoption of a new hull ensuring per
fect stability, Flaram states. This
new hull conduces to steadiness of
trim and enables relatively enormous
weights to be carried on the upper
part of the hull. Previously monster
submarines, such as the latest United
States and English types, had to bo
heavily weighted with ballast dis
tributed over various parts of the
bottom of the boat, and it is claimed
by Flamm that this decreases under
water running speed and gives the
boat a great tendency to roll.
The new hull is Flamm’s inven
tion, and he states that he is already
considering the plans for a diving
cruiser of 7,067 tons, double the ton- '
nage of any submarine at present
In commission, which would carry
defensive armor weighing 614 tons,
and an armament of turret guns,
quick-firers and torpedo tubes, with
a weight of slightly more than 600
tons. He Is also discussing the pro
ject for a submarine mine-layer, of
7,734 tons displacement, which would
carry a thousand mines, each weigh
ing a ton. Flamm th:nks that the
mine-layer would be one of the most
dangerojs and formidable ships of
war.
Discussing the tactical value of
Ihese giants, Flamm, although he
says that he thinks battleships and
either surface men of war are still
indispensable, claims that the sub
marine will have a much higher place
In future naval warfare than it did
\n the World war.
He characterizes the Washington
conferences’ attempt and agreement
to reduce the size of submarines as
a display of "Anglo-American cant,”
Flamm says that hit new vessel,
mounting one or more heavy guns
In deck turrets and having its sides
plated with armor, could rise to the
surface, and, with only Its upper
works showing, shoot with deadly ef
fect at the sides of n dreadnought.
The submarine would present an al
most invisible target, and could only
be hit by chance.
The proposed new mine-layer
would be able to keep at sea for
months and would have a very high
speed .end wide radius of action. It
would be almost independent of bas
es, or of mother ships.
Flamm emphasizes that the whole
problem of submarine building is
stability, and that the more this prob
lem is successfully overcome the
larger submarines will become.
Berlin Bad Man Jailed
By Wife and Best Pal
Berlin.—Sent to prison by his own
wife, so she could live undisturbed
with his best pal—that is the'mis
adventure of Johann Schreiber, one
of the best-known members of Ber
lin’s underworld.
Schreiber and his pal, Bruno Ka
suske, were both in jail. Kasuske
was to leave first.
Said Johann to his pal Bruno:
"Give my regards to my wife.”
Said Bruno to his pal Johann:
"Sure.”
Bruno did. He came, saw, con
quered.
When Schreiber came home, he
found his pal Bruno in his place.
At once, Schreiber ran to the po
lice and made one confession after
another about misdeeds and crimes
which he said he had committed with
the aid of his wife and Bruno.
Thereupon, the wife and Bruno ac
cused Schreiber of many misdeedsc in
which they weren't' involved.
Schreiber wasn't able to prove Ids
"confessions.” His wife and Bruno
were able to prove thrir charges.
So Schreiber is back in Jail for
four years, and his wife and Bruno
are nesting cosily in his home.

Christmas Trees
By Robert Frost
(A Christmas Circular Letter)
The city had withdrawn itself
And left nt last the country to the
country;
When between the whirls of snow
not come to lie
And whirls of foliage not yet laid,
there drove
A stranger to our yard who looked
the city
Yet did in country fashion in that
there
He sat and waited till be drew us out
k-buttoning coats to ask him who
he was.
He proved to be the city come again
r To look for something it had left
behind
And could not do without and keep
Us Christmas.
He asked If I would sell my Christ
mas trees;
My woods—the young fir balsam*
like a place
Where houses all are churches and
have spires.
I hadn’t thought of them as Christ
mas trees.
I doubt if I was tempted for a mo
ment
To sell them off their feet to go In
cars
And leave the slope behind the house
all bare
Where the sun shines now no warm
er than the moon.
I’d hate to have them know it if I
was.
Yet more I’d hate to hold my tree*
except
As others hold theirs or refuse for
them,
Beyond the time of profitable
growth,
The trial by market everything must
come to.
I dallied so much with the thought
of selling.
Then whether from mistaken cour
tesy
And fear of seeming short of speech
or whether
From hope of hearing good of what
was mine,
I said, “There aren’t enough to be
worth while.”
“I could soon tell how many they
would cut,
You let mo look them over.”
“You could look.
But don’t expect I’m going to let
you have them.”
Pasture they spring in, some in
clumps too close
That lop each other of boughs, but
not a few
Quite solitary and having equal
boughs
All round and round. The latter -he
nodded “Yes” to.
Or paused to say beneath somt
lovelier one, /
With a buyer's moderation, "That
Would do.”
I thought so too but wasn’t there
to say so.
We climbed the pasture on the
south, crossed over
And came down on the north.
He said, “A thousand.”
“A thousand Christmas trees!—at
what apiece?”
He felt some need of softening that
to me:
"A thousand trees would come to
thirty dollars.”
Then I was certain that I had never
meant
To let him have them. Never show
surprise!
But thirty dollars seemed so small,
beslds
The extent of pasture I should strip,
three cents
(For that was all they figured out
apiece)
Three cents so small beaide tha
dollar friends
I should be writing to within the
hour
Would pay In cities for good trees
like those.
Regular vestry-trees whole Sunday
schools
Could hang enough oa to pick a
enough.
A thousand Christmas trees I didn’t
know I had!
Worth three cents more to give
away than sell,
As may be shown by a simple cal
culation.
Too bad I couldn’t lay on* In a
letter.
I can’t help wishing I could send
you one.
In wishing you herewith a Merry
Christmas.

CHICAGO DEPOT
LIKE TEMPLE
Monster Structure, Opening
Feb. 15, Hasn’t Delayed
Single Train in Building
Chicago,—A new epoch In rail
way terminal development will mark
the opening of the sixty-mllllon-dol
lar Chicago Union Station on or
about February 15.
Spreading out over a larger and
larger area, the gray-limestone ter
minal has continued to grow until,
In Us massive style of architecture,
It resembles an imposing temple of
antiquity. From atop the bridge span
ning the Chicago river it stands out
like a new city.
When the completed terminal
swings open under auspicious cere
monies, the ancient terminal building
will be quickly demolished- The whole
transformation, Including all work
on the new terminal, will have been
carried out without interference with
a single train. This is just one phase
of the unusual engineering skill.
Three baseball diamonds could he
laid out upon the great floor of the
main waiting room. The concourse
huiliding will have a fifteen-acre
roof of glass, extending 1,400 feet
beyond the main structu.p, to form
the train shed. Steel umbrella train
sheds, extending over several blocks,
are almost finished. Several months
ago most of the exterior, made of
blocks from Indiana’s quarries, had
been virtually completed.
Parts of the terminal are now in
operation, and other sections are be
ing put into use as rapidly as pos
sible. It had been hoped to climax
the ten-year undertaking by opening
the station Christmas day as a
"Santa Claus gift to the city." But
the date was foui.d to be premature.
