BIGUGEST SHIPS AFLOAT. America is to Have Some That Will j Be 1,000 Feet Long. I ___ Two gigantic ovean liners, swifter! and larger than anything afloat, will 1 be built by the United States Shipping board, has been announced from < Washington. i1 Each vessel is designed for a speed : of thirty knots, making it possible to 1 cross the Atlantic in less than four ; days, the board said. They will measure 1,000 feet in length, fifty feet i more than the Leviathan, now the! largest vessel afloat. The new liners will have a beam of 11 100 feet, a gross tonnage of 55,000 a draft of 30 ieet, a aeptn or <o reet, i? and are each to accommodate 3,000 ] first class passengers, 1,000 saloon \ passengers, 800 second cabin, and ; 1,200 steerage, To Have 7,000 Miles Radios. The crew will number 1,000 officers j and men. The ships wilUeach be! driven by four propellers upon which j will be thrown the strength of 110,-j 000 horse-power. They will be of the oil burning type with a steaming radius of 7,000 miles. This means they can make a round trip across th6 Atlantic without wasting an hour's timedn renewing fuel. The vessels will be built with a view of converting them immediately 1 into commerce destroyers in the event of war. The liners are to be divided and : subdivided into compartments so as 1 to make them unsinkable. They will ( be fitted with an inner and outer "skin." ^ The decision to build the racers i * came after a conference of Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board, the ' chief constructor of the navy and presidents of the shipping yards. { Navy to Superintend Construction. Mr. Hurley asked the navy depart-' ment to take general charge of construction work, while a committee ^ consisting of Admiral D. W. Taylor, chief of the bureau of construction, Homer Lv Ferguson, president of the _ Newport News shipping company; Joseph W. Powell, president of the . Fore /River shipbuilding company; N. A. Neelands, president of the New York shipbuilding company; N. G. Mall, president of the Cramps shipbuilding company; and W. F. Gibbs, navy architect, would supervise all details connected with the undertaking. Architect Gibbs drew the plan for the ships and the shipping board will pay all expenses. What company will build the ships is not known. Port Pond Bay at the eastern end of Long Island may be selected as a terminal for the ships. A commission has been appointed to investigate and report on the feasibility n* t.h?q feature of the Dlan. m < m > ?

ARE GERMS DEADLY? ! Minnesota Doctors Will Soon Settle! The Question. To prove that his theory that germs do not cause disease, Dr. H. A. Zet-| tel, electropath, of St. Paul, today! challenged Dr. W. H. Hill, executive i officer of the Minnesota public health j association, to a duel to the deatli j of germs, says a St. Paul, Minn., dis- i patch of Monday to the New York: Times. Dr. Hill accepted the chal-; lenge and the two will expose them-j selves to the most virulent of contagious diseases, including typhoid, smallpox and bubonic plague. Dr. Zettel will use in his defense against the germs only sanitation pure air, and sanitary food and drink. Dr. Hill will expose himself after scientific innoculation and vaccination. The survivor is to be honorary pallbearer at the funeral of the victim, according to Dr. Zettel's challenge. The challenge grew out of the acceptance by Dr. Hill of a similar challenge issued by Dr. J. B. Fraser, of Toranto, in an article, "Do Germs Cause Disease?" published in the Physical Culture Magazine. Dr. Zettel is an exponent of Dr. Fraser's: theories and offered to substitute! himself in Dr. Fraser's place in the duel. Dr. Hill was a bacteriologist in Boston from 1898 to 1905. The two doctors are to expose themselves simultaneously to the same disease and will then enter quarantine to await the result. ' ^ hi ? Knowing His Place. I .
