WHAT is A 0READNoUoHrq

Inc controversy at present raging in
parliament and the press as TO the rela-
tive strength of the British and German
battle fleets turns mainly on our COM
paratlVe strength in Dreadnoughts.
says Tit-Bits
The vessel which has given her name
10 the modern type of heavily armed
oattleship was launched in 1905. and ali
older types were at once regarded as. in
a sense, obsolete. Compared with the
ships Of the King Edward class. she
carries ten twelve-inch ouick-firfnc
guns as against four of the same cali
Der and four 9.2-inch. Eight of these
can be brought to bear on a hostile yes
sci in one broadside, and six ahead or
astern. She is thus able to pour such
a constant stream of armor-piercing
shells upon an opponent as would prob
ably sink OF disable her in a very few
minutes. Moreover, her guns have an
effective range Of over twelve miles.
The DreadnOught is fitted with tur-
blne engines, giving her a speed OF
tWenty-one knots, the King Edward
class steaming eighteen and one-half
knots. The four cruiser battleships Of
the 1nvinCible class, however have a
speed Of twenty-five knots; and it will
be remembered that last August the
IndOmttable with the Prince Of Wales
on board, actually equalled the record
Of the Maui etania by steaming from
land to land) Belleisle to the Fastnets)
IN slXty-seVen hours. an average Of
25.13 knots an hour The newer Dread
noughts are to have a speed of twenty
two knots.
The displacement of the largest YES
sci Of this class. the Foudroyant (now
building), is 10000 tons. as against the
Dreadnought's 1890 and the King Ed
ward Wis 1880.
As the advent of these monster bat
ueships has rendered earlier types OBJ
solescent, so the mystery" ship In
vincible and her sisters have consigned
armored cruisers Of earlier date, such
as the Minotaur (Which was only built
three years ago. to a metaphorical
scrap heap. Ships Of the Invincible
class would probably, i'm time Of war
be employed as cruiser battleships"
for their speed would enable them to
head of the enemy's vessels and COM
pei them to offer fight, while their
weights of metal eight twelve-inch
guns) would account for anything but
a Dreadnought.
It is at least a question whether. in
the humid air of the North sea. guns
would often be effective at a twelve
mile range. At nine miles the so-called
second-class battleships of the King Ed
ward type would be able TO use their
2.S-mch and 6.2-inch guns. and possibly
they would demonstrate to the world
that they were very far from obsolete.
In foggy weather. too, the mightiest
battleship might be sunk or put out Of
action by tiny torpedo boat OF sub
marine, while the deadliness Of the
floating mine was abundantly proved
in Port Arthur waters within every
bOdy's memory.
It is certainly hard for those who wit
messed the diamond Jubilee review to
realize that nearly every vessel Of that
mighty feet has already passed to the
scrap heap Indeed. but twenty-one
battleships Of a date prior to 1897 now
remain on the active list

MORMON INVASION
OF NEW ENGLAND rs
BIG UNDERTAKING
Church Has Established Headquarters in Boston and Mission
aries Plan to Visit Every HOme-Sharon, VT,
Is First CoOnzng Point,

ca is to the MOhammedan. Every piOus
Mormon is supposed at some time or
other in his life to visit the birthplace
of the founder of his religion. As yet
no effort has been made to cOlonize on
this spot, but with the erection Of the
great hotel and other buildings the con-
verts of New England and even those
of European countries. who are now
brought to Boston and rushed out to
Utah, will be sent to Sharon.
If MormOns can be found who wish
to take up their residence in Sharon
they will be encouraged by the CHURCH,
and the liberal terms on which this sect
starts its converts in life will be en-
ployed in giving converts land and
home
Memorial for Young.
Following the building of the hotel at
Sharon a memorial will be built at
Chester, Vt, in honor of Brigham
Young. the leader of the Mormons, who
entered Salt Lake valley.
Brigham Young was born on an es-
tate now held by people who, realizing
the great wealth of the church, asked
such a great price for the land that
even the negotiating elders are stag
gered. But sooner or later, it is averred,
the Mormon church will have the prop
erty, for where only a money consider
alton stands in the way, this church
has consistently gained its ends.
After gaining possession of the birth
place of Brigham Young, hundreds of
thousands Of dollars will be lavished
in identifying the estate, and a monu-
ment, similar to that erected in MEM
DRY Of Joseph Smith at Sharon. will be
erected in Chester to Brigham Young.
People inimical to the Mormon faith
see in its present invasion of New Eng
land an attempt to gain an influence in
the affairs Of this section of the co1n-
try. In Utah the Mormon church abso-
lUtely controls the state, and it has sue
ceeded in branching out into other
states and exercising a strong political
influence.
Conference Planned.
New England viii have a better idea
of the plans of this church after an i'm
pOrtant conference at Sharon on the
oath of July. This conference. will be
by all the Mormon elders who
are working in the east, and by MANY
of the leading church dignitaries who
are coming on from Salt Lake City.
The date of the conference is set for
Pioneer day" July "a, an anniversary
of the day on which Brigham Young
and his followers entered the Salt Lake
valley in 1s47.
At this conference the reports of the
at work in New England
viii be made. a definite line Of cam
paign will be mapped out and money
will be spent lavishly in carrying It
through. Among these plans will be
the establishment Of strong Mormon
settlements in various sections of New
England. An effort will be made to
secure special rates from the railroads
to convey converts to Sharon, and maps
Of every street in New England as an
aid to house to house canvass will |
also be compiled.
