Washington, Jan. cit became
known today IN Warrington that the

The displacement OF this war craft
will be $4,000 tons il armed with
I2-inch guns. or 5000 tons If armed
withe 14-inch guns, which is the
more favored plan. The relative size
OF this floating fortress may be better
understood by comparison with the
Dreadnought. The English bsttier has
a displacement of $4,000 tons and is
armed with ten 12-inch guns and has
speed OF 20 knots. The estimated
speed OF the Utah Is 2o.75 knots.
Provision is to be made in the plans
for arming her with six 14-inch guns
and not less than four 12-inch guns
In addition to her rapid fire and
smaller bore rifles The plan also in
cludes the military mast. the very
newest feature in naval construction.
This mast is so constructed that shots
from an enemy will not destroy the
