Greatest American Fleet.

While the fleet reviewed by the Presi-
dent today was the most powerful ever
gathered in American command, it
was not such a homogeneous fighting
force as that composed of sixteen bat
tleships that sailed around the world
three years ago. 1t reflected rather the
transitory stage of the American Navy
the passing from the old line of battle
ships to the modern superdreadnought,
or ALI big gun" type. The review may
be said to have officially established the
''all. big gum ship as the future fighting
unit of the American Navy, for among
the twenty-four battleships In the i'm
posing column six belonged to the new
class of floating fortress. Even among
the dreadnoughts in the line today there
was evidence of the mad pace the naval
architects of the world are setting. AL
though the first of these were completed
less than two years ago, there had been
a jump from the $1,000 tons Of the Michi-
gan and the South Carolina, the first Of
| the American big gun ships, to the 21.S25
| tons Of the Utah and Florida, fresh from
| the hands Of the builders. In between the
Michigan type and the Utah-Florida type
there were represented today the Della
ware and the North Dakota, of 10000
tons each.

NAME JOHN WILLIAMS
Former County Surveyor Is
Named as Highway Com
missioner by Board.
TO HOLD joint CONFERENCE

John G.. Williams, former county sur
veyor of the county, was elected COM
missioner of highways by the county
board this morning on the thirty first
ballot. The deadlock on the election of
a commissioner developed early Mon
day afternoon. Williams had led in the
balloting from the start and he had
shared the votes with Fred Sherman,
of Randall, and George W. McKesson,
of the same town. Twenty nine ballots
were taken on Monday afternoon and
on nearly every one of them Williams
secured eight votes. By this time the
members of the board were worn out
from balloting and they decided to
take an adjournment to sleep over the
question. On the second ballot this
morning Williams secured the nine
votes necessary for election and the
other seven were cast for Sherman.
The new commissioner is widely
known throughout the county and has
had considerable experience in the
building Of roads. He is regarded as q
decidedly competent man. The board
provided for the travelling expenses of
the commissioner and these will be paid
in addition to the salary of 5000 year.
The election of the highway commits
sioneF and the arrangements Of the de-
tails of his office was the only thing
Of Importance to come before the board
at the session this morning. The board
appropriated hundred dollars for use
in humane work in the county during
the coming year and spent little time
discussing plan to have all road taxes
in the towns paid in money instead of
being worked out, as has been the old
plan. A resolution providing for this
change was presented but met with
defeat.
There was no session Of the board
this afternoon, as members Of the high
way committee, consisting of Super
visors Pacey Yule, shuart, Bernhoft
and Herzog went to Racine, where a
joint conference is being held between
the members of the road committees of
Racine, Walworth and Kenosha eoun-
ties, with view Of making the roads
in the systems adopted by the counties
connecting roads. It is not expected
that any changes viii be suggested in
the system adopted by Kenosha county,
but rhe other counties are expected to
regulate their systems when adopted to
meet with the roads of this county.
