10 CHANGES IN
NAVAL CRAFT
0
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Detailed examination
of surrendered German U-boats built
during the war has produced nothing
to forecast important changes In Am
erican submarines, officers of the U.
S. navy assert. After careful study
of the German craft and a thorough
test in the long cruise across the
Atlantic, American experts have found
only a few unimportant details that
are worthy of incorporating in Amer
ican undersea craft.
% In periscopes and optical fittings
the German boats were superior to
pre-war American submersibles, it
was admitted. Periscopes on new
navy submarines, however, are su
perior to the best similar fittings
found on the captured vessels, it
was said.
The engine equipment ot tne tier
man boats was praised by American
officers, but it was declared that the
mechanical plants of the enemy craft
were in no respect superior to those
already in use in the United States
navy. In many points, particlarly
that of mechanical simplicity, roomi
ness and comfort for the crew, the
American boats are regarded as su
perior to the German craft.
Examination of the surface vessels
surrendered by Germany and brought
to the United States recently is now
in progress. Other German vessels
* of all classes had been previously
carefully inspected by American offi
cers abroad and officials at the de
partment declared that they did not
expect the inspection of the cruiser
Osfriesland and the destroyers allo
cated to this country to develop any
important new construction methods
in the American navy.
In one respect the German ships
won the praise of many officers at
the department. This was the use of
solid watertight bulkheads between
sub-divisions of the hulls below the
decks. No doors for communication
below were found in the German
ships, the members of the crew being
forced to go “up and over” to move
from one compartment to another.
It was this construction that kept
German vessels in the fight at the
k battle of Jutland after they had been
severely punished by British fire,
officers said. The idea has been ad
vocated by a school of American nav
al officers for years and has been
adopted in the newer vessels to the
extent of placing solid bulkheads be
tween firerooms.
Opponents of the solid bulkhead
theory declare ease and rapidity of
communication below decks to be
more valuable than elaborate pre
cautions to prevent the passage of
water fron one compartment to an
other in the event of hits below the
water line.
a mature ol me u-erman snips
which somewhat surprised the Ameri
» can officers was the lack of provi
sions for the comfort of the crews.
Officer’s quarters were found to be
about on a par with those in the
American navy, but little attention
has been paid to the enlisted men.
The larger ships had cooking accom
modations for but a small part of the
battle crew, it was said, and it was
believed that the ships were con
structed on the theory that any en
gagement. they participated in would
be within a short distance of the
home port, probably in the North
Sea, as the bunk capacities were
very limited.
During periods of inaction the men
were housed ashore in barracks and
during periods at sea of any duration
they were poorly supplied with hot
food. Contrasted with the elaborate
galleys and bakeries on the American
ships, with provisions for long cruises
at sea away from supply bases, the
^German craft were primitive, it was
said.
The final disposition to be made of
the German vessels has not been de
cided. They will either be blown
up at navy yards or used as targets
for the fleets.
While Capt. Martin of Whitehorse
was driving with his family last week
the motor stopped on a sharp incline
and the machine started back down
the hill. Mrs. Martin, who was sitting
in the rear of the machine with
her feet hanging down, was pitched
out and rolled to the bottom of the
ravine into the small river. She suf
fered severe bruises on various parts
of her body, her face was badly
cut and her lower lip necessitated
several stitches.

U. S. INDUSTRIES
NEW YORK, Sept. 29 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A course in “mamage
1 ment education” to provide a suffi
cient number of properly trained ex
ecutives for the industries of the
United States is to be established in
a majority of the 620 American col
leges, according to an announcement
made to the Associated Press corres
pondent here recently by Dr. Hollis
Godfrey, president of the Drexel In
stitute, Philadelphia, formerly Com
missioner of the Advisory Commis
sion of the Council of National De
fense.
The plan, an outgrowth of a con
vention attended by representatives
of industry and colleges in Philadel
phia last March is backed by corpor
ations representing a capitalization of
$26,000,000,000. It is the result, Dr.
Godfrey said, of these two factors
coming to a definite working agree
ment for the first time through the
establishment of the Council of Man
agement Education, an organization
formed to ‘‘study mutual problems in
order that the colleges may render
the greatest possible service to the
industry of the country.”
Dr. Godfrey, chairman of the new
body, assisted by Samuel P. Capen,
general director of the American
Council on Education, representing
the 620 American colleges, and Dr.
Frederick C. Ferry, president of Ham
ilton college, are perfecting the plan
which contemplates establishing prac
tical courses in the schools, assisting
undergraduates and others to choose
their life’s work, by placing several
thousand students and teachers in in
dustry during the summer months
and by introducing the extension
courses for men now in industry. By
the summer work, students will be
enabled to defray their expenses at
college, obtain an incight into Amer
ican industry and enable the execu
tives to select future management
men.
The council of management educa
tion, which has been formed, it is
said, to become “a, clearing houes for
all industrial and educational matters
in the country, to promote the mu
tual understanding of the mutual pro
blems of industry and the college and
to keep perpetual inventory of the
educational needs of industry and of
the ability of the colleges to meet
these needs,” has opened temporary
offices in the Drexel building. Phila
delphia, until headquarters are furn
ished in Washington.
An annual appropriates ot $1UU,UUU
entirely borne by American industry,
has been made to carry on its work,
which has been divided into two
classes: First, to determine the field
of service which each college can
cover, and, Second, to provide the
college with all industrial data which
may be utilized in forming under
graduate courses for men contemplat
ing entering industry and in reading
the management men already in in
dustry through extension courses.
All of the courses and scholastic
recommendations, it was said, will
be passed upon jointly by the council
of management education and the
American council on education bfeore
being forwarded to the institutions of
learning. Within one year, it is es
timated, 100 colleges will have in
cluded the extension industrial cours
esc and all will be provided with
the industrial material upon which to
base undergraduate work.
The council, according to Dr. God
frey, is the only war organization
which has carried operations into
time of peace. Nearly all of the ed
ucators back of the movement served
in the Council of National Defense.
When the armistice was signed these
men decided that the educational
knowledge gained during the war
at an expenditure of millions of dol
lars should not be lost. Accordingly
plans were set in motion to turn
this information over to industry. A
survey of the needs of industry was
made under the auspices of the Tech
nology clubs associated with the
Massachusetts Institue of Technology.
In the most extensive industrial
survey ever made, executives of 250
of the largest corporations in Amer
ica agreed that increased production,
decreased cost, increased stability
and increased incentive were the
most important needs. The conven
tion in Philadelphia last spring met
to discuss these needs. It was agreed
by both college presidents and ex
ecutives of America’s industries that
the needs of industry can be met
only through proper education and
plans were made for the formation
of the premanent Souncil of Manage
ment Education.
