GERMAN WARSHIP WHICH - SETS NEW STANDARD.
New York, Apr. 17: The new German cruiser, the Erantz Treussen, may necessitate revision of the Washington Treaty rules governing ship de
sign.
This is stated in a bulletin is- sued by the United States Navy Department, drawing attention to the performance of the so-called pocket battleship, which it de- clares has a fighting strength greatly superior to the treaty clans of ten thousand ton cruisers.
It points dut that the Ersatz Preussen will have a fuel capacity for a continuous voyage of ten thousand miles at twenty knots, which is beyond the possibilities of any other vessel afloat. She is faster than any existing battle- ship, and it is difficult to see how any vessel except a battle cruiser could deal with her."-Reuter's American Service.
