Equal in Dreadnoughts.

Comparing the drcadnoughts of tho
German with those OF the American
navy it appeared. according 10 the
year book. that the German navy has
thirteen and the American has only
seven This result Is brought about
by including in the list OF German
dreadnoughts four ships which are
armed with 11-inch guns. while all OF
the dreadnoughts in the American
navy are armed with IL or 1i-inch
guns. The result was further brought
about in the year book by taking out
of the dreadnought class the NIjchi
gan and the South Carolina. each OF
which has a tonnage Of 5000 tons
and each OF which is armed with
eight 12-inch guns. IL the Michigan
and the South Carolina had been
put in the list where they belong.
and whore they were placed In the
1912 navy year book and previous TO
that time. and the four German ships
which have only 11-inch guns were
taken out of the dreadnought type
and put Into the battleship class,
