NAVY CONSTRUCTION
CHIEF ORIGINATOR
OF NEW WAR IDEAS
lly United Vnmm to Th Dnllr Bullrtln)
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 14.
Tho centre-flro control for dread
naughta whereby main gun batteries
ara located In a line down the center
of the ship, is one of the revelations
of naval construction contributed to
tho world by American naval genius.
Rear Admiral David W. Taylor, rec
ognised as one of the world's leading
authorities on naval construction, la
tho man who originated "centre
fire." Ho Is now chief of the bureuu nf
construction and repair. His job Is
to draw the Intricate detail plans
end specifications for the navy's new
ablpa, and after afloat, to keep thom
ship-shape. No one branch of thu
naval establishment la more vital
than hla; perhaps none so much so.
Admiral Taylor Inaugurated his
brilliant career with the navy by
graduating with top honors from the
Annapolis academy, and then enter
ing the great English naval academy,
when England was receiving our mid
shipmen. Taylor carriod off the
highest honors ever won at that
academy.
When the British cruiser Hawk
rammed tho steamship Olympla In
the Thames several years ago, the
Ilrlllnh government sent for Admiral
Taylor to obtain his expert opinion
as to tho cause of the mysterious col
Union.
It Is chiefly duo' to his efforts that
the present supur-drcadnaught can
travel faster and with greater dis
placement on the sumo amount of
coal than tho pre-drendnought could.
Tnylor la one of the meekest men
to look at. In tho world. He has the
facu, bearing and general appearance
of a country preacher. He thinks bo
far nlurnd In warslilp construction
that he's generally about the same
distance behind in the matter of pre
vailing atylea for men's clothing.

apart In the rows. For bIx rows 62
foot long, thrco pints of seed will be
needed.. Cultivate constantly, but
ns the corn grows, cultivate only
closo to the surface. Two rows of
corn 50 teot long should produce nine
dozen eara. '
Smooth peas, which like rich soil,
should come next. Sow these as
aoon as the ground Is ready, but the
wrinkled onea should b(j planted two
weeks Intor. The pens should be
placed two InchoB apart In the rows,
which should be two feet apart for

western European battle front.
Since then the Allies hare recov
ered 750 aquare miles of territory

with a front of 75 miles. In that
month von Hindenburg's line has
swung about two pivots, St. Quentin

two positions, with the result that
it Is officially stated that Lens Is

can bold out but little longer.
Another of von Hindenburg's lines
waa taken today, a crushing defeat
of the German forces being adminis

The German resistance is growing
more and more desperate as Oeneral

Is apparently ineffective. The Ger
