The UTAH LAUNCHED
BIGGEST FIGHTING MACHINE IN
ENED IN FITTING MANNER.
When Leviathan of War Slid Into the
Water, United States Naval Con-
struction Stepped into Supremacy
Over Other Nations.

Philadelphia.-In the presence of
distinguished array of statesmen. the
battleship Utah, the biggest in the
United States navy, and dubbed
"Skeered o. Nuthin'" was launched
on Thursday In the yards of the New
York Shipbuilding company at Cam
den, N. r., after Miss Mary Alice Spry,
daughter of Governor Spry of Utah,
had smashed a beribboned bottle of
champagne over the bow and spoke
the words of christening
Hundreds of workmen in the yards
stood silent as Miss Spry threw the
bottle with all her strength against
the steel-plated hull of the leviathan
of war. Then every one removed his
hat and the men gave mighty cheer
as the ship slid down the creased
skids and splashed into the water
with a roar which drowned the shout
ing.
Launchings are common on the
Delaware river, but the launching of
the great vessel on Thursday estab-
lished a new epoch. 1t was a memoir
able occasion from many viewpoints;
first, on account of the distinguished
array of notable people; second, on
account of the unrivalled strength of
the ship, and third, through the fact
that United States naval construction
now steps into supremacy.
