FIGHTING BOB"
DEFENDS NAVY
Our Latest BattleShipS Vastly
Superior to the Famous
British Dreadnaught.

New York. Dec. 14.-That the latest
vastly superior TO England's Dread
naught, is emphaticaily stated by Rear
Admiral Robley D, Evans in a maya
zine article written by him. wherein he
strongly defends the American navy
and replies TO criticisms of it made
some time ago by Henry Reuterdahl
and others.
Il 40 not for moment claim that the
Indiana and her sister ships are equal
10 the Dreadnaught of the English
navy" says Admiral Evans, ''only that
she is the equal of the English ships
designed AT the same time. But / do
claim that our latest ships are vastly
superior to the Dreadnaught, and l be-
lieve that every fighting man who has
given the subject intelligent considera-
ton VIII agree with me"
One BIunder Made.
Admiral Evans urges the superiority
OF the 13-inch gun over the 12-inch gun,
and asserts that the change to the
lesser caliber to conform to England's
type was most serious blunder. This
IS chargeable, he says. to the seagoing
officers of the navy and not 10 any STAFF
corps. Regarding the water line arnor
belt he says: 'I am sure, after MANY
weeks OF close observation. that the
lower edge of the armor belt is too high
rather than too low"
IL had been strenuously contended by
critics that the low location of the belt
was vital point of weakness. LAS the
upper edge of the belt is always even
with or above the level of the protective
belt" continues Admiral Evans. the
danger to be apprehended from a ,,ro-
Jecile penetrating above the belt. be-
yond the wrecking effect of such pro-
Jectile. Is that due TO the amount of
water hat may enter the hole 1t is
the danger that may be done by such
projectiles entering below that may
cause the skip to sink by exploding
or boilers. but this is improb- !
able. IL viii require many Pinch |
shells on the water line or on any other |
10 disable or sink such a ship II the |
officers and men know their business
and want 10 fight"
Inaccurate Statements.
Admiral Evans declares the state
ment, that a wound on 2 turret NAV |
disable the turret's guns" is absolutely |
inaccurate. unless by wound" penetra-
tiOn is meant.
VI All the inaccurate ana misleading |
statements in this wonderful Reuter- |
dahl criticism" he continues. 1.-The most |
incorrect is that the battleships of the |
United States are in exactly the same |
condition as were the Russian ships af- |
ter the Russio-Japanese fight in the sea !
of Japan-not temporarily, but perma-
nently."
Il assert" says the admiral. that the |
battleship feet OF the United States |
never was and never will be, never can
be. in the condition of the Russian fleet
when 1t went into action for the last
time"
The leading features in battleship de-
signs, Admiral Evans concludes, are |
the battery. the armor protection and |
the motive power. Any one of these
unduly sacrificed in favor OF the other |
means weakening OF the fighting ma
chine.

Republicans VIII Draft Bill.

The Republican members of the com
mittee who will draft the new bill will
sit as a Subcommittee for this purpose
every day after Monday during the
Christmas recess. 1t is the desire of
the committee to have all the testimony
before it as soon as possible, but wher-
ever it is found that the testimony has
been insufficient, it is proposed TO call
those manufacturers before it who can
give the desired information.
When the majority members of the
committee complete their bill they will
submit it to the Democratic members
The latter will offer the house a minor
ity report unless the bill reported by the
Republicans provides for the reductions
that the Democrats favor. The main
differences of opinion probably will be
on the lumber metal and pulp and pa

Grams gather under the old battle flags

Pleasing features OF each encamp-

there are each year reunited old COM
rades in arms, many OF whom, perhaps,
had not seen each other since the war
These reunions alone are worth the trip
across the continent to a G. A R. en-
campment.
AT our G.. A. r. encampments we
usually have from $4,000 to 10000 Wis
itors. At our next encampment there
will be an attendance OF at least 90 900,
and probably d great many more. The

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The official
appraisal OF the estate OF Russell
Sage, now on file In the surrogate s
Office. shows that right up to the day
OF his death. which occurred on July
%, 1906, Mr. Sage's treasury was open
to call TO any borrowers and that II
was no unusual thing for him to loan
several million dollars in day. The
executors, Chas. w. Osborn and John
p Mum, on taking charge of the es'
tate, found a great many cali loans
still outstanding on the day OF Mr.
Sage's death, some OF which had been
made as far back as the beginning OF
the year
A partial list OF Mr. Sages loans in
the six months previous to his death
shows the amounts he loaned and the
firms that came to borrow from him.
No single loan is for more than $780,.
600. The total amount OF these loans,
with the interest, which~<be executors
called In and collected, was more than

In January 1906. II was not for long
as the pOstts again became very

were made When the doors were
closed IL will be remembered that the
state had $685., 5S779 on deposit there.
In February, 1907, when Banking
Commissioner Zimmerman took office,
the Chelsea bank had $5S3,4 of
the states funds. The final balance
exceeded this by over 100000 the
additional deposits being made during
course of six months when Mr. Zir-

banks affairs his closest attention and
was endeavoring to straighten matters
out. though he knew that the siate S
money was in jeopardy.
During this time Gov. Warner and
his friends had borrowed freely from
the Chelsea institution. GLACIER had
given Warner various sums of money
to help out his campaign and the gov

bank in addition, though he tried to
deny this fact until the draft was pro-
