! CRAMP HAS ALSO BEEN TO RUSSIA,
-
lie Secured Contracts to Build Two War
Ships for the Car

NEW YORK, August "A dispatch TO
the Tribune from Washington, says;
Charles Cramp the head Of the Cramp' 5
shipyard in Philadelphia is In Washing
ton to consult the naval authorities re-
gardlng the bids which are TO be opened
on September for the three sixteen
knot battleshps.
Mr.. Cnmp has recently returned from
Russia, where he secured contracts to
build a battleship and cruiser for that
government, which are to be far superior
to anything yet designed for the Ameri-
can navy Speaking OF these ships, he
said
I'VE shall begin TO lay their keels some
time next week. The battleship will be
OF l2OOO tons displacement and must
maintain speed Of Is knots for u con-
secutive hours, with all coal, ammunition
and stores aboard and these stores, coal
and ammunition are 80 per cent greater
than those carried on any ship outside
OF Russia This speed under these ex-
traordinary conditions must be made
with ordinary natural draught. The
cruiser is to be of 6, 500 tons and under ma
/
tural draught must maintaing - knots
for Y consecutive hours and carry 80
tons OF coal and 50 per cent more stores
OF all kinds than has hitherto been put
into any warship,"
A continuous test for l2 hours is some
thing new for warships, the practice in
Europe generally being to rate vessels by
the speed they attain in squirt over sin
gle measured miles.
Mr. Cramp, while at the navy depart
ment told the officials that he considered
! It q great mistake to build slow ships
when the other nations We're building
them faster and faster He intends to
submit bid for the battleshlps designed
bv the department to duplicate the Ala
bama, but 1t is more than likely that he
will offer practically to duplicate the
Russian battleships for the United
States

nine Carnival is coming and will show in
this city on Thursday, August 18th. Why
is Col. George W. Halls new United
States shows the best? Because they are
among the oldest in the country, and
have for years been before the public
absolutely reliable and truth-r Hing. Be
cause they fulfill every promise. Because
they would not dare, as simple business
proposition. to give anything in the
name of the Col. Geo. w. Halls New
United States Shows that would not be
the very best. Because they have aban-
doned all wOrn-Out features. Because
they have discarded all those things
which years have proven the people do
not want. Because they are giving a
straight, Old-time performance that
everybody has been asking for-just the
same as you saw when you were boy.
Your children ask for the same times
they hear you talking so much, which is
quite natural.
