Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil, Jan. 23.
—Prompted by the belief that Ger-

supported railway strikes and other
labor troubles in southern Brazil, the
Brazilian government has prepared to
take severe steps to prevent any fur-

NON-RICHOCHET SHELL
DEADLY TO l-BOATS
Washington, Jan. 23.—The non-
ricochet shell, a weapon as deadly as
the depth charge, is the newest de-
vice perfected by the navy ordnance
experts against ships. The charge can
be made to explode on contact with
a solid surface under the water or at
a predetermined depth. The value of
the latest anti-submarine weapon lies
in the fact that shots which fall slight-
ly short will be of as much effect as
those which register direct hits.
The navy department has forbidden
publication of details of the invention
but It is known that the British and
French admiralties also have adopted
it.
troduction in the house. The measure
which it is understood, would give
the president blanket authority to fix
prices through any agency he may
designate, was given to Chairman Le-
ver yesterday at the White House.
Chairman Lever said he probably
would postpone introduction of the
bill for several days because of the
present tension in congress and oppo-
sition which the broad price fixing
powers sought by the president are
virtualy certain to engender. He did
quartered in southern Brazil and cus
tom houses at Porto Alegre and Rio
Grande are filled with artillery, which
can be transported quickly to any
! other points in the southern part of
j the country.
By suppressing newspapers printed
m the German language and by clos-
ing German schools and removing
ilerman priests from Catholic schools,
the government has succeeded in
blocking a iarge part of the German
propaganda and a strict censorship
prevents the spreading of news re-
tarding German unrest or the gov-
ernment's steps for overcoming it.
' There is general talk, however,
throughout southern Brazil, even by
j Brazilian officials to the effect that the
j Germans have not given up their at-
tempt to harrass the Brazilian govern-
ment and embarrass its shipments to
the entente alies. Municipal officers
1 in one of the principal towns of the
western part of the state of Rio Grade
do Sul told me that their investiga-
tions had led them to believe that
German support was largely respon-
sible for the sucess and long duration
of the recent railroad strikes and that
they also were convinced that the
strikes were part of a revolutionary
plan which has not been entirely
crushed.
On several occasions Brazilian peo-
ple have set fire to the property of
Germans as a protest against their at-
titude which has been considered de-
fiant and disrespectful toward the
Brazilian government.
Of the 1,838,240 people living in
the state of Rio Grande do Sul, it is
estimated that 40,000 are of German
birth or first generation descendants
of Germans and it has been officially
reported that there are 10,000 Ger-
man reservists in the German rifle
clubs of this state alone. These Ger-
mans have practically controlled the
commercial enterprises in this part of
Brazil.
Even after Brazil broke diplomatic
relations with Germany the campaign
of the Germans was kept up and Ger-
man business houses in Rio Grande
Do Sul and Porto Alegre flew the
German flag from their windows
without the customary courtesy of
flying the Brazilian flag with it. The
Brazilians were denied membership in
the German clubs and the German
shooting ranges.
Finally, soon after the declaration
of war, the Austrian consul in Rio
Grande do Sul attempted to smuggle
several interned German sailors out
of the city and to one of the German
colonies in the state of Santa Gatha-
rina whence they could have found
cent to California, Oregon and Wash-
ington has been made on account of
lack of vessels. Approximately 64
per cent of the waters around the
Philippine islands has been surveyed
in the twenty years that the islands
have been a dependency of this
country, while only 27 per cent of
California waters, 14 per cent of Ore-
gon waters and 44 per cent of Wash-
ington waters, have been surveyed in
the seventy years that they have been
a part of the continental United
States.
Inadequacy of present charts and
surveys and peculiarities of configu-
ration and currents were said to have
been responsible for many costly
wrecks, notably the loss of "Valen-
cia" in 1906 with 134 persons. It
would require twenty years to com-
plete the necessary surveys along the
coast, but it was said benefits would
be available within a year after the
work was begun. The cost for a ves-
sel and twenty years operation was
estimated at $2,300,000.
Not only consideration for lives
and property but the need of prepar-
