ITALIANS LAUNCH
WONDERFUL WARSHIP
international' News Service.
ROME, Oct. 18.—Correspondents in
touch with the affairs of the Italiun
navy have Just been permitted to give
out the first public Information con
cerning a remarkable new warship
which ,lt is claimed, surpasses any
thing in the line of a navnl vessel ever
known.
According to the statements of the
correspondents published in the Gir
onale D'ltalla and other leading jour
nals, one of the new type warships
has been constructed In the Italian
shipyards and has proven on its trial
trips to be capable of making a speed
nearly double that of the fastest
dreadnaught. The remarkable speed
| capacity is saiid to be due both to the
'construction of the vessel and also to
a new development in motive power
which has been thoroughly tested and
found to possess all possible requisites
for ship propulsion under any condi
tions.
The new warship is expected to have
Ian almost revolutionary effect on nav
| al warfare and will make all ships of
modern navies practically obsolete.
Few 'details concerning the new de
velopment are given but it is prophe
sied that vessels of this construction
will have a greater effect on naval
warfare than the famous British
“tank” motor cars have had on mili
tary warfare.
STANDARD OIL REFUSES
STRIKERS DEMANDS
International News Service.
BAYONNE, Oct. 17.—All efforts to
secure a settlement of the strike have
failed completely owing to the flat
rejection of the striker's demands In
the Standard Oil officials. Public opin
ion, which was strongly inclined to
the strikers at the beginning of the
struggle has now switched the other
way owing to the constant tendenc>
tor violence displayed in the num
berless riots occurring in the past
week, practically all of which were
started by the strikers.
Many of the unionmen are growing
disgusted with the acts of the radical
element nnd there Is every prospect
of a serious split in the ranks of the
striking element.

ATHENS, uot. 18.—The landing of
1 more than one thousand sailors and
marines from the warships of the al
, lies gathered in the Gulf of Salamais
today was the occasion of an immense
demonstration on the part of the pop
ulace of Athens.
For hours after the arrival of the
sailors, the streets swarmed with
cheering mobs of excited humanity,
some favoring the advent of the en
t. nte forces and others bitterly de
nouncing what is apparently the first
steps toward turning the control of the
capital ever to the revolution'sts.
The entente forces wet a transported
to the ca dial over the Piraeus rail
road after landing at that port yes
terday afternoon. News o* their ar
rival caused the entire populace to
turn out i nmasse and a »i|d demon
stration 'ook place on th arrival of
the trail.. Several hostile demonstra
te in occur'" i short 1,. befotn the ma
rines appeared but no disturbance o '
eurred following their arrival. Al
though a large portion of the people
are openly in favor of the allies *nk
ing over the government, a by no
inconsiderable portion of the populace
are avowedly hostilo to the entente
forces and attacks on the sailors are
feared.
I ,
1 King Constantine has issued a proc
lamation in which the action of the
allies in landing troops is vigorously
| denounced. The king declares that
the arrival of the marines is a pre
liminary step to assuming control of
the government. The king’s statement
has done much to inflame the spirits of
the people and there is an imminent
prospect that serious trouble may
arise.
