RACE OF BATTLESHIPS
LOUISIANA SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF
CONNECTICUT.

The bureau of construction and repair
NAVY Department has just made pubic a
statement of the progress made on Fesseis
under construction at government navy
wards and private shipbuilding concerns TOT
the United States navy during the month
Of August
Among the thirteen hrst-class battleshlps
nearly all of which are more than half COM
pleted, the Mississippi, building at the
Cramps shpyards, gained the most polnts
in per cent of completion during the month
This however does not give her a speclnc
advantage over number of the other YES
sells. as she Is but 3s.71 per cent completed
showing a gain of 4.23 per cent for the
month Of August, and, as general ruie'
better progress is made on vessels OF her
size during the early stage of construction
than when they are nearing completion; or,
in other words, after they are Launched.
All the others have also made good prog
ress. showing gains Of from l to per cent
Their per cent Of completion Is as follows:
Virginia, 92S9; Nebraska. 1858; Georgia,
s6.44: New Jersey. 1913; Rhode Island, 81;
Louisiana, S64; Connecticut, s615; YER
mont, Ga; Kansas, col: Minnesota, n.l6;
Mississippi 3S.71; Idaho, 1865, and New
Hampshire, 49,
Besides the battleships, there are nine
teen other vessels under construction, SIX
armored cruisers, three protected cru1ssrs'
two training ships, two scout cruisers, Two
torpedo boats and four torpedo BOAT oe-
stroyers all of which show good progress.
The most interesting feature of the report
is the figures showing the progress and
total per cent Of completion of the Loulsl-
ana, being built at private yard, and the
Connecticut, at New York navy yard, IN
their grea, race for completion. AS is well
known in order to determine the merits
Of private ship building as against snip
building by the government at the d1rerent
navy yards, these two vessels were author-
lied by Congress to be built in competition.
The Louisiana got off first and held good
lead during the preliminary stages OF the
race, but soon after launching the Connec-
ticut made rapid strides and overlook the
Louisiana Since then it has been nip and
tuck neither one showing a desided adVan-
tage until the issuance of this statement,
from which It appears that the Louisiana
is again drawing away from her rival, she
being 1914 completed. and the Connecticut
S6l5 a difference OF one-quarter of l per
cent in the formers favor.
