such shells, ALI of the Wisconsin
that is vulnerable to rapid fire might
be shot away without impairing her
fighting value. Moreover, just at this
time battleships began to increase il
size; designers devoted a large part
of the increased weight at their dis
posal to the better protection of their
rapid fire batteries, Krupp armor sup
planted Harvey nickel. and very soon
ships were being built with all their
fighting parts amply protected against
six-inch shells. The result is that the
six-inch gun, which is the chief feat
ure of the Wisconsin and Maine
classes, sinks to a subsidiary position
on the Georgia class, and with the
Connecticut class is definitely aban-
doned. Even England, with over. four
hundred Of these guns on her battle
ships, is wavering in her allegiance,
and putting medium caliber' guns in
her latest designs; while Italy. in
the best ali-around battleship yet de-
vised, comes out squarely in favor of
twelve-inch and eight-inch guns, al
most identical with the calibers which
we put on the Oregon ten years ago.
1t must not be imagined that the
Wisconsin is a poor fighter. Whatever
may be the expectations of the ships
still on paper, she can hold her own
against anything now afloat. Com

NEILLS IN MARK
TWAIN'S COMEDY

The Neill company gave a very artis-
tic and clear cut presentation of Frank
Mayo's successful drama tization of
Mark Twain's "Pudd'n Head Wilson,
appreciated by the audience.
NELL always seems best suited with
a quiet, eccentric role like Pudd'n-
head and made a very lovable and real
entity of the lawyer whom the wise
men of Dawson" think fool until in
the end his wit and perception, too
keen for the crowi to appreciate, vim
d.cated him.
Miss Chapman as Roxana showed
much of the same fire with which she
invested Cigarette in Under The Two
Flags" Her makeup was excellent
and her change from a pampered plan
tation favorite to a world-hardened
revengeful woman markedly artistic.
Sheldon Lewis in one of the most
despicable roles given an actor to por-
tray, was excellent. His rendition of
the part of Tom Driscoll, type of low
born, streaky- FLOODED hound, was not
merely the playing of role, it was
the subtle suggestion of the personality
in every movement and information. No
less artistic on the opposite extreme
was the breezy, boyish Chambers of
Donald Bowles and the Rowy of Miss
Kellar The love mating of the two,
bound together by Nature, despite
seemingly overwhelming circumstan-
ces. was beautifully played

idea was apparently abandoned and
the three vessels of the Wisconsin
class, followed by three more of the
Maine class, were designed-to be built
without them. By this time, however,
the Kentucky was finished, and the
actual trials Of the turret seem to
have restored confidence, for after a
long discussion, it was adopted for
the entire five vessels of the Georgia
class, our big $4,000 ton ships next
to be launched. Then the tide turned
again, and with the plans of the still
stronger Connecticut, with which our
designers seem to be at present salts
fed, the eight-inch turrets have gone
back, to the quadrilateral arrange
'ment of the Oregon.
In spite of the Kaiser's question, the
advantages of the superposed turret
are tolerably obvious. Place the Ken
lucky in a broadside duel with the
Oregon, and each ship could bring the
same number of guns to bear on the
other; that is, four 13-inch and four
8-inch, yet the Kentucky has only two
8-inch turrets compared with the Ore
CONS four, saving of weight which
enables her to carry battery of four
teen 5-inch guns amidships. Two of
the Oregon's turrets are out OF action,
lin reserve say her advocates"
useless, because the battle will be
decided without Them say her OPP
ponents. A second advantage of the
superposed turret lies in the concen-
tration of fire. The four guns can be
aimed and fired together and if the
four high-explosive shells should
strike together on any armor, now
af1oat, it is probable that you could
drive coach and four through the
hole.
The chief disadvantage is that with
the superposed turret there are too
many eggs in one basket. A single
ming the turret, would put all four
guns out of action. 1t is the balance
of probabilities or improbabilities that
can be determined only by actual bat
tie Admiral Evans, by the way, has
always been one of the chief oppo-
nents of the system Stypified by his
present flagship.
There are numerous improvements
in the Kentucky over the Oregon. The
Oregon's big guns are SO heavy that

The appointment of Secretary Car

it is to be regretted that the only i'm

made the people feel that they were in
a little closer touch with the govern
ment at Washington, through their
chosen representative.
In the campaign in which I was
elected l contended as a Republican
that il would be no use to send a Home

Since annexation the customs revenues
and the postal revenues have gone to
the National Treasury, and there are
many things that should be done by
the national government for Hawaii
such as the building of a new custom
house and the deepening of the harbor
The lighthouse service should also be
maintained by the national govern
ment. I shall hope to impress the jus
tice of these claims upon the govern

Here is what the Colorado Springs

RADIO College Glee club, which is to be
here next week.
"Glee and Mandolin clubs make
hit with large audience.
The concert given last night BY
the Colorado College Glee and Man
dolin clubs was enjoyed by a large
audience. The clubs have better Sc
~lections than ever before. and they
are given with the college dash and
spirit. All the numbers were vel
given, and the club showed that II
has had good training.
THE Glee clubs work was most en-
joyable in the group of college songs
which were given with college vein.
"P. ID. Rice, the clubs reader, was
perhaps the best feature Of the whole
program. His selections were partic
ularly adapted to his style and were
given in a thoroughly artistic man
ner. Mr.. Rice has been with the
clubs several seasons, and has dem
onstrated his capability Of handling
this part of the clubs work. His work
is good, and is up to the standard
set by professionals.
Altogether last nights program
was one of the best the club has eyel
given.'-Coiorado Springs Gazette
