New Dreadnought Completes Her
Endurance Test at Twelve
Knot Speed.
TRIAL TEST COST ONE LIFE
Vessel Makes Better Showing
Than the New Battleship
Delaware.
(By Associated Press.)

BOSTON, November s.-The new
battleship North Dakota has arrived
here after having completed her TWEEN
tyfour- hour endurance test, notwith.
standing the boiler tube explosion
which injured twelve men. At the
twelve~knot speed she made a record
in the economy of fuel and water that
exceeded that made by the Delaware in
the test made of the latter vessel q
short time ago. She will return at n
speed of nineteen knots tomorrow. One
of the men who was scaIded by the
bursting of boiler tube during the
speed test has died
The North Dakota, vessel of the
superdreadnought type, has made a
splendid record, her maximum speed
during the speed trial being twenty-five
and one-fourth knots. She is the finest
and, as the tests have demonstrated,
the fastest vessel of her type in tho
American Navy.
The twenty-four. hour test at twelve
knots was to test the endurance of the
machinery, the consumption of coal, and
the consumption of feed water by the
| boilers.
The battleship North Dakota is one
of America two most powerful war
ships and is expected to surpass in
many ways anything abroad. The North
Dakota will attract world. wide interest
among naval officers and shipping men
in general because she is the first bat
tleship anywhere to be fitted with the
Curtis type of turbines and the first
battleship in the United States Navy
to have any kind of turbines. The
North Dakota is much larger than the
original British Dreadnough.
At the conclusion of the builders
trials, the vessel went to the Charleston
Navy Yard and was foated into the
larger drydoek, to have her hull clean
ed and her zine protection plates fixed.
Before being foated again she was
painted and new set of screws of the
wonderful Monel metal were set in
place of the ones now on the shafts.

Interpretation Opposed.

The United States denied this interpre-
tation of the treaty provisions, asserting
that only inlets Of the sea, not over six
miles wide. were intended. From that
time forward the Interpretation has been
in dispute. At q much later period the
Newfoundland government adopted regu-
lations as to the coast fisheries of that is
land, which American fishermen have the
right at certain places to participate in
lin common with British fishermen. Ger
tain Of these regulations were thought to
be directed against Americans and also
TO discriminate in favor OF the local fish
ermen. Certain of these regulations were
thought to be directed against Americans
and also to discriminate in favor OF the
local fishermen. The United States pro
tested against this action as being,

which, being unqualified and perpetual.
could not be SO restricted. except by mu-
tual agreement of the two governments.
Other questions of minor character. all

the language OF the treaty. are involved.
1t will be matter for congratulation
to both countries when this controversy,
which has been the fruitful source OF ir-
ritation and of a voluminous diplomatic
correspondence for over sixty years, Is at
last laid to rest, as 1t will be by the
award OF the tribunal of The Hague
which will meet next fall to hear and
determine the true meaning and intent
of the fisheries article Of the treaty of
1918.
