age will be a defi to the U-boats for
the most practical test possible-their
marksmanship.
It has been intended to make a test
of the Lucia in drydock, but it wvas
learned tonight that John A. Donald,
vice president of the emergency fleet
corporation andl shipping board com
missioner, that the drydock test had
been abandoned for drastic trial in
the proving grounds of the danger
zone.
William F. Donelly, inventor of the
non-sinkable construction of the Lu
cia, a marine engineer of Newv York,
will have complete charge of the load
ing of the vessel.
Although the Lucia is fitted with
12,000 of the water and airtight cells,
permanently attached to the frames
and (leek beams and other available
spaces of the vessel, about 15 to 20
per~ cent of the cargo space must be
packed with additional numbers of

these buoyant boxes. Mr. Donnelly
personally will supervise this final
phase of the safety equipment.
The first reports of the non-sink
able ship, announced by William L.,
Saunders, vice chairman of the naval
consulting board ,at a diinLr Satur
day night to University of l'ennsyl
vania alumni, gave all credit for de
velopment of Mr. Donnelly's contriv
ance to the naval consulting board.
Commissioner Donald tonight, how
ever, said the ship hnd been equipped
with the cells under the direction of
the shipping board.
The board's division of shi pprotec
tion, he said, had recommended to the
board ,a:. July the tes; of Mr. Don
nelly's invention, offered to the beard
at that time.
The Lucia, a 9,00-ton vessel, for
merly belonged to Austria, was requi
sitioned for the purpose, and experi
ments wre bgun. Only reently, after
about four months of tests and new
designing. the equipment was corn
pleted.
Although no actual test of the
Lucia's safety from torpedoes has
been made, the mathemacical calcula
tions fron small scale experiments,
says Mr. Donald, are considered suf
ficient proof that even wi. i a nole
feity feet Icng blown in her side, she
would remain safely afloat, supported
by the honeycomb of cells.
Each cell is a unit, independent of
any other for its supporting quality
and the great number of them, in ad
dition to the ordinary safety device of
watertight doors and other watrtight
compartments on every seagoing ves
sel, gives so great a degree of buoyan
cy that two or three tol-pedoes would
not be likely to work havoc enough to
sink such a ship.
A vessel so mashed and torn by tor
trpedoes, with gaping holes below the
waterline, could remain on the surface
indefinitely, simply water-logged with
no danger to her crew. Unless unus
ually rent open, she could proceed to
a port, however slowly. In-any event,
neither lives or cargo would be likely
to be lost, for succoring vessels either
could tow her to port or salvage at
the spot the undamaged part of the
cargo.
The final proof of the Lucia's float..
ing ability in distress was to have
been made by attempting to sink her
by flooding her in drydock. This,
however, was deemed, in the face of
the expert opinion on the effectiveness
of th equipment, a waste of time.
In the judgment of her inventor andt
the shipping board's experts the prin
ciple is so certain that no further de
lay is to be allowed in rushing the
Lucia, unprotected by any warships,
into the most infested submarine
waters.

HOW FARMERS MAY GET
FLOUR WITHOUT MEAL
Food Administration's Plan for Those
Who Have Their Own
Corn Ground
Columbia, Feb. 9.-The national
food administration has given author
ity for a modlification of the pound
for-pound law in order to give relief
to the farmer in South Carolina who
has his own corn ground locally. Much
dissatisfaction has been caused among
far-mers, who felt that it was unreas
onable to ask them to buy Northern
and Western meal wvhen they had
their own home ground meal which
they could use. There was no pro
test concerning redluction of the con
sump~tion of flour, but sim ply that.
the farmer did not wvish to buy meal
from his store when he had better
meail or grits at home.
U~ndler the new rule the farmer can
have his corn ground by a ille1r, who
will give him a certificate. This cer'
tificate must be filed with the gr'oceri
by the -farmer, whe'reupon hie canf hiuy
an eqiual amount of flour, nt ini ex
cess of half a barrel.
TPhis plan11 was recommned by
praictically th!e unman imouis ovte of the
c'ounty food adlministrators at their
meeting in Columbia on the 4th in
stant, and has been advocated by a
large number of prom inenit people
having kmiowledlge of conditions in
South Carolina.

and on Saturday gave its consent to
the plan. For the information of
county food administrators and food
representatives over this State,millers
and farmers, he following is a de
scription of the procedure necessary
for farmers to obtain flour upon a
miller's certificate:
The farmer takes his corn to the
mill and has it ground. He signs a
certificate which the millers will have,
stating number in his family or ten
ants for which he buys, the amount
of flour he has o.1 hand; anu a;reeirg
to use in his household equal weights
of flour and substitutes. Thereupon
the miller signs a certificate as to the
number of pounds of meal ground.
This certificate is then filed with the
grocer, and thereupon the farmer can
buy an equal weigit of flour, but in
no case in excess of one-half barrel.
This relieves the only difficulty that
has been encountered in South Caro
There has been no objection what
soever to the reduction in consump
tion of flour, and the farmer has been
patriotically ready to reduce his con..
sumption of flour, but he very nat
urally did not desire to buy more of
what he already had an abundance in
his home.
Blanks are being mailed to the
county food administrators for dis
tribution to millers. They were mailed
yesterday afternoon. Millers should
apply to the county food administra
tor of his county for the blanks.

they calculate that only about 40,000
American troops now are there. This,
they assert, agrees with independent
information on this subject.
Germania adds to this the assertion
that the sinking of the Tuscania gave
the United States a hard blow, which
for a moment "threatened to unbal

"Even so," it concludes, "we do not
underestimate the importance of
America's assistance, but we shall
