GIFTS WHICH
WARSHIPS RECEIVE

4
Mr.. H. C. Gauss, Of the office of the
Secretary of the Navy, has prepared an
interesting memorandum showing the
gifts which have been made TO The va
rious ships of the Navy and their es-
| timated value. It viii be interesting
| to see how handsomely some men-of-
war have been remembered by the
| States for which they were named or
| through other sources, and the publ
cation of the list may also serve to
stimulate others to make gifts to those
ships which cannot boast silver SER
vice or a bell. The memorandum fol-
lows. Where the value of the article
| is known it is given:
