PLAN TO DOUBLE .
TRANSPORTS' EFFICIENCY
. (Special to The News.)
Washington, Jan. 21. One hundred
vessels in the transport service of the
United States navy will be directed by
the naval overseas transportation serv
ice, operating the transports as a single
unit, under orders by the navy depart
ment Included in the vessels that come
under this plan are the various trans
ports, coal and other supply ships and
the swift craft which have been as
signed to the naval service from pri
vate docks.
By bringing these vessels under a
central governing power their effi
ciency can be more than doubled, ac
cording to officials today. It was nec
essary, however, the navy explained,
for the director to solve a large num
ber of intricate problenyf before the
system was actually put into working
effect.
Action of ttie navy was forced be
cause of the divided authority existing
over American vessels plying the At
lantic. Some of these are operated un
der direction of the shipping board
ana others under direction of the navv.
But all have in the past looked to the
navy lor protection and convoy.
fenusiea men of the naval reserve
will hereafter man the vessels thus
taken over by the government to act
as supply carrieres, it is stated. .
Extension of the plan until all At
lantic shipping is included was re
garded as a probability by officials in
Washington today.

'Before the ice floe began to move
in the Tennessee river here, the rats
which had their habitation aboard the

stance seems, it is nevertheless truo,
anM I am now convinced that rats must
have "horse sense at least" '
The river fleet official explained that
he had heard rivermen relate how rats
had Jumped overboard previous to
boiler explosions or other accidents on
hoard river boats, but he stated that
ho va not convinced until lie had wit
nessed the sight himself.-
'After the rats left, the negroes re
fused to remain on their boats and im
mediately carrying their possessions
off to the bank. Just a short time
afterward the ice floe began to move."
And now with tho great glacier
sweeping down . past Knoxville, en
dangering thousands of dollar's worth
of property, even the Pled Piper
