WOULD SAVE MILLION
Very Little Useful Work Done at
Some Stations Which Might
Easily Be Aban-
doned.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec 5.-A
shock such as has seldom been felt
IN naval circles followed the pubIica-
tlon today of the annual report OF
Secretary of the Navy Meyer, in
which he proposed the abolition OF
the navy yards at New Orleans. Pens
acola, San Juan, Port Royal, New Lon
don, Sackott's Harbor, Culebra and
Cavito. BY the elimination of these
seven yards Meyer said that he re-
moved an average annual expense for
maintenance of s1,6t2,675. He de-
clared that during the last five years
very little useful work had ueen done
In any of the yards named.
One new navy yard is indefinitely
suggested for San Francisco Bay. Fol
lowing discussion of the limitations
of the yards at Mare Island and
Bremerton, Meyer said:
Il conclude that it will be neces-
sary to establish docking and repair
station on San Francisco Bay in some
locality yet to be selected. Such a
repair station should include one or
more docks of the largest size for
taking our largest existing and con
templated battle ships.''
On the other hand Never recon-
mends the further development of the
Bremerton yards and enlargement OF
the channel at Mare Island "in view
ssot the fact that a fleet at some time
after the opening of the Panama
canal may be based in the Pacific
ocean,"

BIGc TR GUNS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Tbe TWEEN
ty-seyen thousand ton battleships,
bids for which are now under con.
sideration by the navy department,
may be equipped with sixteen inch
guns, If the progressive wing of the
navy has its way. Plans have been
proposed for mounting at least six,
and possibly eight of these huge
weapons on the new ships, one in a
turret
The naval designers now have adopt
ed the theory that the bigger the
guns the better are the battleships.
The largest now in use are the 12

naughts under construction are to be
armed with fourteen inch guns, the
