The Iowa to BE n Flagship.

The battle ship Iowa is to be made a flag
ship. Though not so designed originally,
Secretary Herbert has found it eXpedient
to fit her out in this way, and the board of
naval bureau chiefs are discussing
plans for the change of interior arrange
ments. They have also locked into a prop
osition to line the new gunboats with as
phalt instead of the Roman cement ordi-
narily used for this purpose, but on ac-
count of the excessive cost the plan did
not find any support. Another matter un-
der discussion is the application to all
naval ships of a system of automatically
closing bullShead DOORS designed by Engt-
reer-in-Chief Melville. This is intended to
place in the officer of the deck the power,
by simply turning a switch or pulling a
lever, to close every water-tight door in the
bulkheads separating the compartments, so
as to guard against the effects of COLI
sion or a ramming.

THE GREAT HUDSON BRIDGE.
The Relations of the Two Companfes

The Relations of the Two Companies
That Have Submitted Plans.
The plans for the New York and New
Jersey bridge across the Hudson now be-
fore the War Department will, it Is con-
fidently expected. be acted on by Secretary
Lamont this week.
The fact that different plans have been
submitted by the two bridge companies on
rise to the statement that the relations of
the two companies were strained.
Mr. James T. Sparkman, the representa-
tive of the New Jersey company, is now at
the Arlington, where he is slowly recover
ing from severe attack of the grip.
Such a statement" said Mr.. Sparkman
to Star reporter today, 'is extremely un-
fortunate just at this time Besides, there is
no ground for it. 1t is simply an assump-
ton drawn from the fact of each company
having submitted plan for a bridge across
the Hudson. Both are suspension bridges
and both contemplate spanning the entire
river. They differ only as to details. Those
we consider. however, of the greatest i'm
portance, else we would not have insisted
upon their adoption. This enterprise is the
greatest of its kind ever attempted, and the
result of false step at this time would be
far reaching If not altogether disastrous
The Hudson Is to be bridged, and we in
undertaking this gigantic task must avail
ourselves of the best technical advice OBJ
taipable. For my part, 1 believe the en-
Sineer corps of the army to be the best in
the world, and I would rather depend upon
their judgment in a crisis like this than on
that of any other expert engineering body
in the world. That is why the New Jersey
Bridge Company is found supporting the
plans for a bridge approved by the govern
ment engineers"
