BIGGEST WARSHIP
In WORLD FINISHED

London, August 6.-The armored cruiser
Lion, the largest fastest and most pow
erful cruiser in the world, was launched
at the dock yard at Davenport this even
ing. The keel of the giant cruiser was
laid November 49,
Though the usual secrecy in regard to
the design was at first maintained, it
is now known the cruiser upon it's 700
feet of deck will carry eight guns of 1874
inch caliber, throwing projectiles of 1850
pounds.
They were mounted in four barbetts all
on the center line of the ship. The
cruiser will have a displacement of &c.
$50 tons and will be driven by turbine ell
gines of 10000 horsepower, giving her an
expected speed of % knots. Her SUI
periority over her predecessor in tho
cruising battleship class is shown by the
comparison of her 10000 horsepower with
the earlier maximum of 1900.

Muskogee. Okla. August 6.-Senator
Gore issued the following statement rela-
tive to Vice President Sherman:7
IT have never either in the Senate or
before the investigating committee made
any charge whatsoever against Mr. sher-
man. never said he was interested in
the McMurray contracts directly or indi-
rectly. The name of the Vice President
was mentioned to me by Mr.. Harmon as
the man higher up who was interested in
the contracts. When l testified before the
committee I was under obligation to re-
late all Harmon had said, and when 1t
came to mentioning what Harmon had
said to me about Mr.. Sherman, l named
the Vice President with extreme reluc-
lance.
II had no alternative but to tell the
truth l think 1 owe 1t to Mr.. Sherman
and to the country at large to hope that
the facts Mr.. Harmon mentioned In con-
nection with Mr. Sherman will be rele-
gated to perpetual oblivion"

The official announcement that last
year as many as 17,25s young men omit
ted to present themselves for their legal
term of military service has produced
a painful impression The Matin, which
has been in quest of some explanation
at the war office and in other Well-in-
formed quarters, says that the increas-
ing number of deserters appears to be
due to three causes. In the first place,
anti-militarists would seem to have made
sad progress in certain districts. Then
again part of the mischief is to be
traced to the amnesties repeatedly voted
by parliament in favor of the men who
have not fulfilled their military obliga-
tons Not a single chamber has run Its
course without having voted one of these
amnestices, and the consequence IS that
many young man prefers going abroad
to accomplishing his two years of military
service, as he feels almost sure that his
exile will not last moro than three or
four years
Thirdly. account must be taken of 1.-The
incredible facilities accorded by the diff
ferent French administrative authors
ties to the insoumis, who are away
fro mtheir country and who apply for
safe conduct that they may return home
for their private affairs. Not only is the
existence of such safe-conducts a matter
for regret, but the facility with which
they are granted is really extraordinary q"
These are the three causes which appear
to contribute for the most part to the
number of the deserters, and the Matin
adds that the war office and the gov
eminent can at least suppress two OF
them by no longer granting amnestles or
safe-conducts to men who are in revolt
against the law of the nation and
against patriotic duty.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL SITE

Editor OF The Republican:
I find In the columns OF the Tribune
an article entitled "A Strong Plea for
a Fit High School" said article pur-
porting TO have been written by a
taxpayer. and he has been referred
To i'm an editorial Of the same paper
as being "a strong friend Of educa-
ton and progress" Nevertheless this
purpOrted taxpayer hesitates to sign
his name. The article is largely
based on misstatements Of facts as
they exist. As a matter OF Justice
and fairness. the truths Of the re-
speCtive sites should be made known
The site referred to as the Auerbach
site is n full five acres: IS located CEN
trally; has the very best Of transpor-
tation facilities; has paved streets on
both sides: has sewer. good water.
light and every modern Improvement
already there; is situated on high.
dry ground. and covers n district
from which the greater number OF
pupils attend the high school. Il
is shown absolutely by statistics. as
the writer IS creditably informed.
that out OF the entire population Of
graduates from the grade schools
some 20 per cent from this locality
attend the high school. while we find
from the southeastern portion OF the
city the PERCENTAGE is less than go per
cent: while that from the southwest
ern portion OF the city IS not 70 ex-
coed 45 per cent.
As TO the tract being small. We
are informed that with a building
on the lines contemplated by the
board OF education. which IS not to
exceed 240 TO $50 feet in length. with
width very much less. there would
be still left on this site ample room
fOr gymnasium buildings. campus and
whatever necessary drill grounds
might be required on this tract.
The price at which this site has
been offered the school board is. I'm
the opinion Of prominent real estate
men. very low and conservative
value
The Boutwell, site is bounded by
Eighth and Ninth South streets and
Twelfth and Thirteenth East streets.
Il IS situated at almost the extreme
southeastern boundary Of our pres
ent population. I'm fact. we find that
from the southeastern corner Of
this tract there is not n house
70 the east for at least n mile.
