Big eattIeship Will Take Trip Across
tho Atlantic.

New York Sept 29.-iF1ying the
"meatbalr' at her foretop. the IT, S.
is. Michigan has arrived from Boston,
where she had been In drydoclS after
the battle practice ending week ago,
and she lies Off Ninety sixth street I'm
the North River. The Chinese cruiser
HaiTChi. Is just near enough TO make
our Dreadnought loom up all the more
Iforbiddingly. one of her twelve-inch
guns sticking out of the turret for a
length as great almost as the entire
width of the Dragon ship.
The "meatball" is black center on
red pennant and denotes the shoot
ing championship OF the American
Navy, and that means of the world
Not that our marksmen are the best
because they are ours. but because nc
other country has shot at the distances
we have used for the last two years
when the ships have been at an av-
erage of 10000 yards. or nine miles
from their targets.
At this range and under weather
conditions that were by no means
favoring. the Michigan made a grand
for her shooting. Last month she
won new honors when the Navy De-
partment announced that she had car
ried off the battle efficiency champion
ship.
This Is a new award instituted by
n l.. -
Palmer, inspector of target practice, in
which a ships shooting record is com
bined with her engineering marks
The engineering trophy and the shoot
ing awards are still presented annual
ly. but the new honor is the biggest of
all, being considered the truest test--as
its name implies-of a ships efficiency
for war purposes
With the pennant came increased
pay to the gun crews which had done
the work. The Michigans work is the
more worthy of note because last Sep
tember, In the battle practice off the
Virginia capes, she was one of the
low score or wooden" ships. Her pres
ent championships are based on hel
shooting last spring.
Those aboard her are confident she
did not suffer any loss of dignity
through the battle practice which has
just ended There is feeling of con-
fldence' among the officers and men
that when the scores are counted the
Michigan will be right there or there
abouts. They smile when they hear
that the Delaware is already claiming
the trophy. One of the officers said
yesterday that the Delaware works on
the old fashioned Democratic princi-
Pile of "claim everything-concede
nothing"

LONDON, sept. 29.-ltaVing been an

Not An Elective Office.
Unlike all other great municipalities
I'ondon's Lord Mayor is not chosen by
the people, though there was time
some 200 or more years ago-when
they really were elected by the citi-
2ens. But the aldermen, who are elect

exalted as that of Lord Mayor should
be thrown open TO outsiders and made
dependent on popular favor. So they

Great Power Is Removed.
The system pleases the aldermen and
does not make much difference to any
body else. The office of Lord Mayor
has long since been shorn of its once
great powers and has become a mere

with more fictitious dignity than any
other post i'm England. No more vio-

In addition to his duties as a mag

Once Very Arbitrary.
Perhaps 1t is as well that the Lord
