UNITED STATES NAVY is
PLANNING MONSTER SHIPS

Washington, Dec. 21.-The navy
department is considering the desir-
ability of constructing monster bat
tleships, bigger than anything We.
built or even designed elsewhere.
One plan presented by the Naval
Board of Construction calls for eight
14-inch guns and a displacement of
5000 tons, while another plan pro-
vides for twelve 12-inch guns and a
displacement of 10000 tons In the
14-inch gun ship the thickness of
the turret, side and barbette armor
will be thicker than in the 12-inch
gun ship, giving better protection
than the latter will enjoy.
The navy department Is pretty
well committed to the all-big-gun-
ship plan and Congress may consider
1t favorably when the matter is prop
erly presented. The speed of the
new ships is intended to be from
20 IA to 20 1-2 knots an hours I'M

excavations Reveal Buried City.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-An Ameri-
can Pomepii is gradually being
brought to light, according to the
annual report of Charles B. Walcott,
secretary of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute.
Under a special congressional APP
preparation, the work of excavating a
prehistoric buried city at Casa
Granda, near Florence, Ariz., has
been conducted by DR.. j. Walter
Fowkes. Already a number of struc-
lures have been discovered, but the
largest one excavated during the year
was a building 200 feet long with
IL rooms, the massive walls enclos-
ing a plaza.
In the central room there Is a
seat called by the Pima Indians 1.-THE
Seat of Montezuma." The ruins at
Casa Granda were found to be very
much more extensive than was an
ticipated.
