NAMES FOR WARSHIPS.
New Vessels of Dreadnaught Type May

After States.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May c.
President Roosevelt has under consider
alton the naming of the two battleships
of the Dreadnaught type, for which CON
tracts will soon be awarded. The ships
will be given names of states according
to custom. Most of the states have been
honored already. but there remain Della
ware, Utah. North Dakota and New
York that have no war vessels named for
them. New York is eliminated for the
reason that there is an armored cruiser
named for the city of New York. When
Oklahoma qualities as a state it will give
the navy department one additional
name to draw upon. While no action
was taken today it is thought likely that
Delaware. the second smallest state IN
the Union, will be honored by having
one of the greatest battIeships named for
it, and that Utah will be the other state
to be so lOnOred.
