CHIEF CONSTRUCTOR WILSON.
His Annual Report to the Secretary
OF the Navy.

WAsHINGroN, Nov. 1S.-In his annual
report to the secretary of the navy, Chief
Constructor Wilson, referring to the
gradual disappearance of the old wooden
fleet, says there are now eleven new
steel vessels and one tirst-class torpedo
boat in the commission and only
eighteen wooden vessels.
The following vessels are recommend
ed to be sold: Brooklyn, Sangua, Speed.
well, Rescue, Ossippee, Juniata and
Quinnebaugh.
MIR. Wilson says: Cruiser No, IL has
sustained speed greater than the swiftest
Atlantic greyhounds, united with "a
powerful battery, immense coal endur =
ance and efficient protection.
Much space is devoted to the descrip-
tion of three great coast line battle ships.
The armament OF these vessels will con-
sist OF four thirteen-inch rifles, eight
eight-inch, four six-inch, twenty six
pound rapid firing guns, six one-pound
rapid hiring guns, two Calling and six
torpedo tubes or guns. This represents
a weight of armament superior to that
of any of the latest battle ships laid
down by foreign powers.

ment was due to the action of the Rus
sian government, which, alarmed by
financial trouble in the Argentine Re.
public during tho summer, suddenly
Withdrew from Barinss E2 100000, just
as it withdrew Gl,OO0 900 from Compton
Des Compts in the spring of 1883, Its
action at that time resulting in the
suicide OF the manager of the institution
and the collapse OF the copper ring,
Bariugs offered 70 sacrifice every.
thing, but unavoidable delay in reuliz.
ing would have been almost equivalent
to actual collapse. 1t is rumored that

that the BnrnBs had stopped payment.

DEPEw AND CLEVELAND.
They Both Talk at Commercial
BANQUET.


New YoRK, Nov. ls.-The 1921 All
nual banquet of the New York cham ber
OF commerce was held tonight. Presi'
dent Smith in his address said he was
profoundly convinced that reciprocity is
the key which will open wide the door
OF commercial intercourse and give to MS
natural outlet for our surplus products
Chauncey Depew spoke at length on
the recent events in the financial world.
In the course of his speech he said that
within the past few weeks we have
stood the strain of n repurchase of all
our bonds and stocks which Europe de.
sired to sell. 1t was IA fearful test, but
IT has superbly demonstrated the
strength of our financial situation, the
soundness of our credit, and the per-
mnnency OF our prosperity. The break
ing OF the dam OF this European reser.
voir may pour upon us stream of
securities, which will reduce values
% to 30 per cent. Such contraction
would, at certain times, suspend the
business of the country. and bring about
bankruptcy and ruin.
These possibilities will be avoided as
we grow rich enough to absorb our secu-
ntrles, but to increase our available re-
sources we must enlarge the area of our
market for our surplus product The
solution OF this dangerous problem and
OF our future PROSPERITY lies hrgely in
the direction of commercial reciprocity
among the nations of all America.
