Rivers-Harbors,
$50,090,000?
Fight Ahead As Com
mittee Meets---Probable Out
t© 30 or 35 Millions.
Washington. Work of framing a
rivers and harbors bill for the com
ing session was begun today by the
house rivers and harbors committee,
with estimates before it from the v.ar
department asking for appropriations
aggregating between $49,000,000 and
$50,000,000 for waterway improve
ments. These estimates do not con
template any new projects.
The plan to eliminate all new proj
ects from the proposed bill and to cut
the amount down to a minimum will,
it is expected, precipitate a vigorous
fight in the committee as well as later
on in both houses. Some committee
members today predicted that when
the measure finally Is reported to the
house it probably will not carry ap
propriations to exceed $30,000,000 or
$35,000,000. The biggest project con
templated is the improvement of the
Mississippi river.

NARROW ESCAPE ON
THE FIRING LINE
Brussels, via. The Hague and Lon
don, Dec. 3, 4:49 a. m.—Dr. Sols, the
German colonial secretary, had a nar
row escape a few days ago. When
automobiling along the front near
Dixmude, he came under the fire of
the English entrenchments which were
only 400 yards from the highway. Not
only bullets whizzed around his auto
mobile, but shrapnel exploded near
by.
In the midst of the excitement, a
tire which had been penetrated by bul
lets exploded. The chauffeur dis
mounted, intending to make repairs,
but it was evident that the English
guns had found the range and the
secretary hurried on to Dixmude in
the crippled machine. There he lodg
ed in one of the few inhabitable ruined
houses until repairs could be made.

Important Improvements in
Radio Telegraphy Render It
Essential For American Navy
to Be Alert, Says Admiral
Griffin.
Washington. Old Ideas as to the
excessive cost of navy yard work as
compared with that done by private
firms arc discredited by Admiral R.
S. Griffin, chief of the bureau of en
gineers of the navy department, In
his annual report today. He points
to the fact that the engines for the
great dreadnought New York were
quickly constructed at the New York
navy yard at a cost slightly less than
thej could have been procured by con
tract, and the workmanship was un
excelled.
Fven More So.
Even more satisfactory results were
obtained on the Pacific coast for the
Mare Island navy yard completed the
machinery for the gunboats Monocacy
and Palos well within the estimate and
the final cost was little more than
two-thirds of the amount bid by pri
vate firms. At Norfolk the manufac
ture of gasoline engines has been con
tinued with most satisfactory results
as to cost and efficiency of operation.
To Its Limit.
Important improvements in radio
telegraphy have involved the substi
tution of a large amount of new ap
paratus for the older installations on
shipboard. Substantial reductions
have been effected in the cost of this
apparatus, although Its efficiency has
been greatly increased. Admiral Grif
fin says the use of radio to the limit
of its apparent possibilities for naval
purposes Involves technical problems
of a difficult order. These do not oc
cur in commercial practice and must
remain unsolved unless the navy un
dertakes the task.
In the Rear.
Otherwise, he points out, it will re
main In the rear of development of
wireless telegraphy as established by
the practice of other military powers.
The history of the American navy
shows that it has been in the very
forefront up to this time in develop
ment of radio telegraphy, as was
shown by the bulldng of the Arlington
station, the development of plans for
other great high-powered stations, the
adoption of arc apparatus and other
details of great importance. Not a
single mistake has been made in this
direction, according to Admiral Grif
fin, who asks for an additional allot
ment of $600,000 for the four high
powered stations to be erected on the
isthmus of Panama, the Hawaiian isl
ands, the California coast and the
Philippines.
SPAIN’S PRETENDER
HELD A PRISONER
Paris, 5:20 a. m. The Eclair de
clares that Don Jaime of Bourbon, the
Spanish pretender, addressed an ap
peal to his partisans some time ago
to side with France in the war. This
came to the knowledge of the Aus
trian authorities, and as Don Jaima
lives in Austria he was placed under
arrest in his castle at Frohsdorf. The
immediate excuse for this action was
the fact that Don Jaime had been a
colonel in the Russian army.
An appeal was made to Emperor
Francis Joseph, who said he could do
nothing in the matter. Don Jaime
persisted in his efforts to gain his
freedom and he was told finally that
he could either remain a prisoner In
Austria until the end of the war or
leave the country. He chose the lat
ter and is now in Switzerland.
