evening, June il, the date of their an

among its members some of the clever
est entertainers in the city, and under
the able dictatorship OF Joseph New
man the best results must inevitably
obtain. The auditorium has been Sc
cured for the occasion, for the expe-

the Knights of Columbus entertain no

After settling up the claim Ames
handed his client silver dollar.

ARRIVAL OF UCHIDA, THE
JAPANESE AMBASSAD'

Baron Uchida, the new japanese am
bassador. has arrived in Washington
He has been given a cordial welcome
and in return, his tone Is cordial he
says there is no pressing diplomatic
question for him to deal with between
his country and the United States just
now, that the relations between the
two countries arc growing better every
day. and that there Is no japanese
problem on Che Pacific coast.
While the same optimistic opinions
expressed By Baron Uchida will find
plenty of unbeIievers, it can be said he
is going about his business in a way
that promises to make for good rela-
lions between the two countries. II
Japan is tactful enough to meet the
United States half way in the matter,
Hlere will ne no Japanese problem on
the Pacific coast grave enough to
strain the relations of the two coun-
tries. Otherwise, there is an element
of danger in the situation. 1t may
come TO the surface when the renewal
of the existing treaty is considered OF
st may not. 1t is question that calls
for frank and patient consideration
and cooperation rather than antago-
nism. Presumably, Baron Uchida /:
impressed with this view of it.

diplomatic service in this country il

WORLDS GREATEST BATTLE
SHIP LAUNCHED.

With the launching of the battleship
Utah at Camden, y. J., the most
formidable man-of-war in the world
has entered the waters. Even those
powerful warships, the Delaware and
North Dakota, are eclipsed. The Utah
is the fifth of the battleships of this
country of the all-big-gun type to be
launched. One scans the navies Of
other nations in vain to find anything
which could cope with the Utah in a
sea fight. She has a displacement Of
p, s25 tons, 1000 tons greater than the
Delaware and North Dakota
Equipped with ten twelve-inch guns,
sixteen fve-inch guns, two submerged
torpedo tubes. Jand many small guns,
and having ten turbines, with men
enough for a regiment aboard, and
capable of high speed, this naval mon
ster has capacity for destruction that
is nothing short of appalling. The
greatest of the British battleships now
building are those Of the Colossus and
Hercules type. Each Of these Is of
q 900 tons displacement, and a speed
not quite equal TO that of the Utah.
Germany has five battleships building
of $4,000 tons each, and slightly more
powerful than the Utah. So far as
known, none Of these, however, is
aAoat. Japan has no vessel building
which is as powerful as the Utah
Russia has four 23,OOO-ton battleshipa
building, but none of them is yet
! launched.
Gigantic and terrible as Is the Utah
it viii not be long until it will be
outstripped by the Arkansas anc
Wyoming, each of 10000 tons, and
each carrying twelve twclve-inch guns
Without much doubt these vessel.
when launched viii take the world5
record. And then viii probably come
the 10000 ton battleships which tn,
Navy Department has in mind anC
which Secretary Meyer fsvors.
Still it has to be remembered thai
even so great an engine Of war as tn,
Utah is not infallibIe. A mine, a tor
pedo boat, OF a submarine, pol<ing it,
way about under the surface, may
blow it into fragments in the twinklin,
Of an eye.

THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT OF
PROSPERITY.

The United States Steel Corporation
has notified its employees in the Pitts
burg district that they will not be
given the customary ten days vaca-
ton at holiday time, but only two
DAYS instead. The reason is that the
steel mills are crowded with orders as
never before at this season of the year.
The big independent steel firms arc
making a like rule this year, and for
similar reasons. 1t is a reasonable as
sumption that the employees will not
be deeply sggrieved over the loss Of
their vacation. The announcement IS
the most notable Christmas gift that
the new prosperity has brought to the
country.
As a barometer of business condi-
iions, nothing equals the steel trade.
Activity at this season IS necessarily
largely in anticipation of construction
work that is to be done the coming
season. It means that the railroads
arc buying rails and cars which will

real estate owners are making con-
tracts for buildings, and that con-
tractors are in the field early for their
structural metal. II means, in short,
that the coming season IS going to be
ono Of vast development and probably
unprecedented activity. The slacken-
ing of pace the past two years has put
development behind demand, and now
with the best Of conditions prevailing
with confidence at full tide, the bust
