PUTTING WAR SHIPS IN
SHAPE FOR LONG CRUISE
Decks Of the Big "War Dogs" Being
Strengthened for the Trip to the
Far East. ~

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept ID
When The battle ship Georgia was or

yard, immediately after having her
target practice. It eas to strengthen
her decks so that she would not be

At target practice the Georgia. uii-
der ordcrs. did not fire her SIX g-inch
guns at all because it was believed
her decks would not stand the shock
without injury.
This Is only ono of many Things be
ing done for the ships destined for
the Pacific, that they may be in the
most complete trim when they start
for their long voyage. which will prob.
ably take Them round the void. The
Department has recommended that
everything Which modern naval CON
stfuctiun can devise be applied to the
battle ships, so that they may start
for the Pacific in primo condition.

After the Missouri demanded Il
special authorization of 81 900 fo- re.
pairs to her decks injured by firing
at level her forward turrct guns, 1t
was pointed out ~ officials of the
bureau of construction and repair
that several other ships had. suffered
similar injury. ana that the decks
were in most cases unable to with
stand the shock OF the heavy
charges.
Chief Constructor w L. Capps cx-
planned That the decks were weak
ana the damage done was possibly
greater than the bureau had anticl.
pated, but that this structural weak
ness resulted in gain in other
points of construction in the ship. II
was, however. decided to strengthen
the decks. and that in working out
future plans attention should be given
TO this weakness.

1t looks as ii the city council was
making a grandstand play in refusing
to pay Contractor Moran anything on
his claim for the bonus of $3.50 a day
he was to receive for each day he
completed the Big Cottonwood con-
duit before the stipulated time. The
contract is plain that he was to re-
ceiye that amount for each day he was
ahead of time, and he was also to pay
a similar sum for each day he might
be behind time. We are not express
ing any opinion as to the wisdom of
making such a contract, but having
made it, there is no good reason why
the city should try to get out of it's
bargain. Moran is clearly entitled to
the $3.50 day for each and every day
the work was completed ahead of
time. The only question is to deter
mine the number of days. The action
of the city council will simply prolong
the day of settlement, entail on the
city the expense of defending the law
suit which no doubt the contractor
will bring to recover This procedure
will probably stave off the settlement
until the present administration has
gone out of Office. That is what it
wants.

fort" within their own sphere is alone

observes:
when the theory of reincarnation
becomes better understood by the
great masses, they will see that it is
the individual effort alone which ad-
vances the soul, so that in another
life it can take a higher place. There
is no good in pushing on artificially
people into positions they are not fit
or ready to take, and which they can
not fill with dignity to themselves or
profit to others, while in some simpler
walks of lie they might have recog-
nized the necessity of effort, and ad-
versity would have strengthened their
Character and developed their higher
qualities. We see this in people as in
nations, and it would be easy to cite
many examples when decline and cor
1lption set in because prosperity came
too soon, and before the temper and

nation had been sufficiently steeled

Socialism, as it has been preached

is not in what position man or wo-
man is, but how perfectly they fill it.
A milkmaid in wooden pattens and
with bare arms, who understands her
business and does her duty honestly
and conscientiously, is far above a
lady who, though she may be a great

nothing. The one will arrive to per-
