Tense of the band in the signal corps OF
the United States Army was made by
General James Allen, chief signal Off
GER, when he appeared before the House
/ Committee on Military Affairs to ex-
I plain the estimates for his branch OF
the service.
A question was raised in regard to
the utility Of the band and, while adj
hitting that band was not a very
essential factor in his organization, he
said that band is to be found in ev-
cry other organization in the Army
He pointed out that the artillery has a
band for every regiment, or for every

More Powerful warships.

Truman Fl. Newberry, Secretary o.
the Navy, will appear before the Hous'
Committee on Naval Affairs on Thurs
day and it is expected the plans com
pleted by the Bureau of Construction
and Repair for three advanced type
of battleships described by Chief Con
i structor Capps to the committee will
be gone over thoroughly. While it i
hoped in naval circles that Congress
will appropriate for four battleship

only two will be voted for if the large
type of vessels are decided upon.
According to Chief Constructor
Caps testimony before the House
Committee on Naval Affairs the plans
for the new type of battleships are
three in number. Each is to have 25,-
600 to 10000 tons displacement and
carry either twelve 12-ineh or eight
14inch guns.
In reply to an inquiry Mr. Capps
told the committee that twelve 12-inch
guns could be safely carried by a 25,-
O00-ton ship, and that by increasing
the displacement 1000 tons over and
above the displacement of the battle
ships of the Florida and Utah type, now
building, at least two more such guns
could readily be installed with safety.
Mr.. Cappss said the four so-called 90
000-ton battleships now building would
In reality have a displacement of near
ly $4,000 tons when normally loaded
for action.
The plans for the new types said
Chief Constructor Capps, "provide for
heavier armor than that carried on the
lighter vessels. The 14-inch-gun ships
will have heavier side. turret and
barbette armor than the 12-inch- gun
ships of 1000 tons less displacement
The speed of the new ships will be
from 20 IA to 90 12 knots each under
trial conditions, and the speed will be
only slightly lessened when the ships
are fully equipped.
The four largest battleships of the
navy now under construction are the

Buffalo in War Paint.
Bluejackets of the cruiser Buffalo
are treating the ships hull and super
structure to coating of slate-colored
paint. The bow and portion of the
hull amidships were coated yesterday,
and all the boats in davits likewise
painted. By today almost the entire
vessel will be transformed from a two
color vessel to a single coat The
change vii be appreciated by the blue
jackets, for every little dot of dirt
can not be seen on the slate-color as
1T was on the white and yellow, and
therefore the work of cleaning may
not be so arduous. The Buffalo s change
of color is being made in conformity
with an order from the Navy Depart
ment to paint all warships slate-color,
which will be the shade during peace
times.
