In the course Of a few months. not more
than a year, this big ship is going to slide
into the sea and sons fair daughter OF the
little state Is going to christen her Della
ware while every one in the state who
can get TO Newport News Is going to be
there TO. assist in the celebration.
The Dela ware, with her sister ship. the
North Dakota, was planned to be the
most powerful bsttleship that human skill
can design. Nothing floats today that will
outclass them when they are launched.

be unable to match Americas reply In
these two ships. for they are to be the
greatest sea fighters on the oceans OF the
world.
The Delaware, when completed and

sent an initial outlay of 10000 0o. Nearly
100000 OF this will he spent for guns
alone, The cost OF keeping the ship in
commission and In first class fighting
trim will be 100000 Per arnum, which
includes the feeding and paying OF its
crow of 900 officers and men, ordinary re-
pairs, machinery and other ships sup

sen,bles the Dreadnought, although the

The forescastle deck of the Delaware
will extend aft about one-tnird Of the

for the forward pair Of t~urrets, which
are so placed as to enable the guns of
the second turret to fire over the one

gives the guns in the second. or highest
turret. an additional ommand OF about

Eauinment, speed and
ShoOtIng Capacity.

Down at Newport News, Va, hundreds
Of men arc working az high pressure, build
ing the biggest and most powerful battle
ship in the world.
Down In Delaware all true and patriotic
souls are watching the construction Of the.
ship with keenest interest. and are making
elaborate preparations to slide 'er over
board with a blaze Of glory that has not
been euualed.
The reason for it-you ask?
Simply this: This big watchdog-of-the-
sea, in q sense belongs TO Delaware. Here
Is the story:
For many years Delaware has waited pa
tiently for Uncle Sam to name a ship in
her honor. Way back, in the days when
the old-fashioned wind TANNER was the
most up-to-dste thing on the seas; when
a sailor had TO shin aloft a few hundred
times during the day and night as part
OF his routine, and when the big strong
arm Of the navy was upheld by picturesque.
wooden ships, Delaware wanted her name
painted on the stern OF one of them.
But it was not TO be, other states, bigger
boys. so to speak, crowded ahead and
shouted Me next and Uncle Sam had
TO tell his next TO the smallest boy to be
a good little Lao and wait and maybe some
day he would get a nice, slender cruiser
with four smoke stacks. or. perhaps, a fat
bsttleship with guns sticking out OF every
port hole.
Many ships were built and named after
various states. and as time rolled on and
some Of them became back numbers the
states wished they had been farther down
the line to catch some of the bigger ships.
Delaware waited patiently. Then It's turn
came. and what q turn Il was. Instead OF
getting a cruiser or the usual type OF bat
tleshlp, it drew the most powerful ship
of-war that any country has started to
build as yet.
Do you wonder then that Delaware is
interested in the building Of this ship and
that she is proud OF her?
