The new cruiser of the "B" class (the first of the type to be laid down in a Royal Dockyard) which is to be put in hand at Devonport will prove rather bigger than had hren anticipated. In the absence of any official data on the subject, the iden gained currency that the "R" ships would have a displace; ment of 7500 tons, and carry 6-inch guns, Mr. Bridegeman's spirited defence of the 6-inch gun at the
suuume:
Geneva Conference last was taken as confirmation of this Since then definite assumption. details have been made public con- cerning the Fork, which was laid down at Palmer's on the Tyne in May last. She will displace 8,403 tons and be armed with x 8-inch guns. As it is practically certain all the cruisers of this class will be identical, these dimensions may be taken as representing the size at the vessel to be built at Devonport. In point of length wa understand their is not a great Beal of difference between the and "B" class cruisers, the reduced burthen of the latter expressing it

lighter draught.
Of the "A" class cruceers eleven have now been built or taid down far the British Navy, and two for the Australian Navy. The first batch, known as the Suffolk class and numbering five vessels, were authorized by the Labour Govern Beat in 1924. Within the next few werks all these will have departed for the Chias Station, having been ghtly delayed in order to allow of alterations to their upper tor pedo tubes.

Frantic gestures by a dia! and dumb girl in a side street at Grosse, 23 miles from Nice, on Christnins Eve led to the discovery of the dead bodies of six persons Five of them had been murdered and the sixth was that of the muri derer, an Armenian, who had com mifted suicide.
The draf and dumb girl had to visit her friend, Eugenie Tabakian, an Armenian, who was engaged to marry a compatriot, Stepan Dedjian. She came rua ning down the stairs of a basement house with tears streaming down her face and made a desperate effort to call the attention of the peforman on duty near by..
He, "not knowing what Was wrong, took her to the police station, and afterwards the police decided to follow her guidance.
She took them upstairs to the
