RAM KATAHDIN DOOMED.
Instead of Sinking BattIeships She Will
Become a Target

Washington, Sept. 2S-The ram Ka-
tahdin, from which so much was ex-
pected as a weapon of war, is about to
come to an ignominious end. Instead
of creeping up to monster battleships
and sending them to the bottom of the
sea, which work she was designed to
perform, she will herself become the
object of attack.
The Katahdin's doom was sealed
when the acting secretary of the navy
issued. orders that she be towed from
the League island navy yard at Phila-
delphia to Hampton Roads, Virginia,
and thence to Washington to be pre-
pared for the sacrifice. While here all
machinery and useful materials will
be removed, and then the hull will
again be towed to Hampton Roads to
be used as target for Uncle Sans
big battleships.
The Katahdin is a relic of the old
days when the ram was seriously con-
sidered in naval warfare. The vessel
did not fulfill the hopes of her design,
ers and therefore never has been put
to practical use.

The children Of st. AnthOny's school

it, and when the bomb went off sud
denly they ran shrieking from their
recitation rooms into the halls. Cries
of dynamite and the Black Hand rang
through the building. The calls of the
priest in charge had no effect.
The terrified children poured into the
halls and rushed wildly down the stair
ways. There are two street doorways,
but one of them was closed. A few
