BIG CHANGES IN
 ATLANTIC FLEET

Washington, April 20.-The navy depart- ment has just perfected plans for a sweeping reorganization of the Atlantic fleet which will take effect in May or June when the ships will make their an nual visit to the navy yards for overhaui- ing This will be the last of the season, 1t is said, when the fleet will be dispersed to their home yards except for periodical docking. Vessels requiring repairs beyond the capacity of their crews will go to the divisional home yard one at time.
 In July, 1911, by the addition of the Florida and Utah, and the completion of repairs upon several other ships. the At lantic fleet will be increased 2l battleships in full commission, making it practically certain to keep F vessels always em- ployed, the remainder being at the home yards under repair.
 The new order designated the home port of each ship of the navy, the general idea being that the heaviest shall be based at New York or Norfolk, owing to the superior docking facilities. The four bat tleship divisions are assigned to New York, Norfolk, Philadelphia and Boston, while the armored cruiser division will make it's base at Portsmouth.
 A reserve fleet will be organized with the Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetts as a nucleus and the Wisconsin and Rear sarge classes will be added later on. Ships in reserve will have at least third of full crew, and 1t is hoped that by 1911 each battleship in reserve may have at least $50 men, insuring the vessels readi- ness for service upon "A hours notice. The reserve fleet will be based at Philadelphia except the torpedo vessels in reserve, which will be placed at Charleston. With the exception of six or seven gunboats necessary for police and survey work, vessels of little no military value will be placed out of commission as soon as possible.

Hawley is elected governor
and the democrats control the
legislature a statutory prohi-

county have already pledged
themselves to vote for such a
law and efforts are being
made to secure similar pledges
from the democratic legisla-
tive candidates in every other
county in the state and we
know whereof we speak when
we say that already nearly a
sufficient number of pledges
have been secured to insure
the passage of a statutory
prohibition law. In that event
those not already pledged
would be whipped into line to
vote for that measure.
