"rur WORLDS GREATEST WARSHIP."

The recent launching OF the Shiklshiha on
fine Thames attracts attention al once 10 the uh-
uaralleled progress in naval strength which
Japan is making and to the character OF the
vessel which has been proclaimed by many au-
thoritios TO be the most powerful battle-shlp IN
the world The former topic needs not to be
discussed at this time 1t is already familiar to
our readers The latter may best be dealt with
l,v making some comparison of the ShikisLma
with one of our own vessels. Let us take for
the purpose the Iowa. the largest of our war
ships now in commission.
In size the Japanese ship Is much the larger,
disulacing IA. $50 tons to the lOwas ll,4lO, and
measuring 400 feet long. 75lA feet wide and 27A
feet deep 10 the Iowa's 800 y and q Each
has two screws. But the Shikishmas engines
are TO develop II, 500 horsepower to the lowa's
10 100. The former is therefore expected 10
make 1914 knots an hour, while the latter Is set
down for only H. The normal coal supply OF
the Shikishima Is 200 tons. That OF the Iowa Is
only G25. but her bunkcrs have capacity for
i,7JJ tons.
So much for size and steam power. Ia arihor

both are equipped with Harveyized steel belts.
That of the Shikishima is from to . inches
thick while that of the Iowa has a maximum
thickness of II inches The former has on gun
positions from q TO II inches. the latter IL
inches. The Japanese ship has n deck plating
from 10 ; inches thick the American from "a
to 3 inches ON the whole. therefore. we may
reckon our ship 10 he a little the more heavily
armored. That NAV or may not be an advan-
tagc 1t has been we'll said that ships own
guns are her best protection.
In armament each ship has. to begin with'
four Pinch guns These are supplemented Oh
the Shikishima with fourteen quick firing 0-ihch
yu,s and Oh the Iowa with eight S-inch guns.
Fyper opinions differ concerning the compar1-
five merits of such batteries. There Is much To
he said ia favor of each. In our war WIN
Spain the S-inch guns did splendid work, ana so
did the quick -frers of smaller calibre. In the
secondary battery the Slikshima has twenty
10-poundcrs and eight machine guns. while the
Iowa has six finch quck-tircrs twenty IL
Founders. four 1-poundcrs and four machine
cuns The Shikishima has five and the Iowa
six torpedo tubes. On the whole therefore, 1t
does not appcar that the Japanese ship is nota-
hly if ut all stronger in armament than the
American. although the latter is the smaller and
ly three years the older. Indeed. the opinion Is
entirely worthy Of respect that the Iowa Is the
equal Of the ShkShima in fighting power, eX-
cCpting as the superior speed of the latter might
give her the advantage in position. AS 10 tne
"mcn behind the guns" it is an open question
whether or not 505 Americans would be q
match for al Japs, with a smaller and more
compact ship to man.
Perhaps it would be more just TO our Navy TO
make the comparison with ii newer ship. one
that is Ike the Shikishma, now in course or
construction Such u ship is the Alabama,
which was launched not many weeks ago. she
Is n little larger than the Iowa. though stu
smaller than the Shikishima, but her horse
mower is less and her speed will be less even
than those of the Iowa. Her belt has maxi
mum thickness Of 1917. her gun positions OF IL
and her deck of inches. cquallnS III the last
and far SURPRISING in the other two respects

hut exactly comedies with the latter in omittlng
Sinch guns and in having fourteen G-lnch raplh-
fircrs in their place. Her normal coal supply Is
100 tons greater than that of the Shklshlma.
We are inclined to think. then. that just as II
stands today the American Navy can furnish Il
pretty good Roland for the japanese OiVer, ana
when our newest batt!e-shipS are finished, with
the high speed which The Tribune prevailed

THE EuPEROR'S DISAPPOINTMENT.

The rumOr that the German Emperor had cut
short his Leyantnc trip in order to get hack
oulcklv TO Germany TO attend TO important
nolitical and diplomatic business is dlscred
tied bv the announcement that he Is TO pro
ceed homeward in leisurely manner by water
stopping for visit to Spain on the way. IL
the r1Imor had been true he would have hur
ried home by train from Constantinople or AT
least from Brindisi The later rumor that lie
is going home somewhat disappointed and irri-
tated nj some of the results or lack Of results
Of his Journey, is not an agreeable one, nut
nosscssos far greater verisimlItude. In fact
1t is pretty nearly confirmed by some current
reports of unquestioned authority
II will no remembered that before he left
Germany the Emperor somewhat ostentatious-
" declared his intention to protect and cherish
thc Roman Catholic Church wherever his i'm
perjal banner was planted, and indeed all but
proclaimed himself Head of that Church in
his dominions-an utterance which the prelateS
of the Church received with no great mani
Hesitation of enthusiasm. On reaching Jeru-
salem he again proclaimed his devotion 10 the
interests Of that Church. and sent personal
message to the Pope conveying Il GIT when
the generosity of his friend the Sultan had
enabled him 10 make. II WIS ltiHdlh'" a. NV
time that the Popcs reply scarcely riValled Tie
Enpcror's misSivc in cOrdiality. and that It's
tone might even prove disappointing to the
German sovereign. There was apparent on the
Pope's part not the slightest intention of recoS-
nizinc the Emperor in his selfassumed role OF
Protector of tie Roman Catholic Church in the
East.
Now. as we have said. come other reports
especially one which says the Pope has again
formally confirmed the right and title OF France
rs the Protector Of Catholics in the East, III
hoth Turkey and China. He does not seem 10
have taken the German Emperors assumption
into consideration ri all but mentions Only
Russia as a possible rival Of France. mat
looks very much as though th" Pope. IN an

neror nor Pruss.an King had tried for many

yatjcan No wonder the Emperor is displeased.
His visit 10 Spain. the most faithful daughter
of the Church. may indicate last attempt 10
cain the favor Of the Pope. If 50. there Is
little reason 10 look for its success. IL the
Emperor has forgotten and forgiven MS Ia

comments Of Leo NH thereon, the rope MN
