The vitals of the vessel are protected by a deep belt of armor on the sides and by armored decks and bulkheads. Protection against sub marine mines and torpedoes is afforded by means of close subdivision in the lower part of the vessel. The comple- ment will consist of f1fty-five officers and 800 men.

They were re- echoed by Secretary of the Navy Dan iels, by United States Senators Owen and Gore and Congressman Weaver of Oklahoma and by other speakers at the luncheon which followed the launching of the magnificent hull at the Camden yards of the New York Shipbuilding company.
 The Oklahoma is 5S3 feet over all. and her displacement Is 27.50o tons. Her contract calls for speed of twenty and one-half knots.

E Woman Figures In Ulster Crisis E

VT has been freely charged and not denied that titled women have played 8 leading part in the re- ~ volt in the English army which followed the proposition to send troops to Ulster in the home rule struggle. The name of the Marchioness of Lon donderry is frequently mentioned fin connection with these stories. Her husband the Marquis of Londonderry. is one of the wealthiest men in the province of Ulster and is said to have financed a great deal of the opposition to home rule. He has been the leader of the home rule opposition in the house of lords.
 It is but natural that the marchioness should take lively interest in her hus- bands fight. And it is declared that her help has been all powerful. For years the marchioness has been re- garded as one of the reigning beauties of London, and, like many beauties, she possesses almost as many enemies as she does friends. Her enemies say that much of her unpopularity in Lon don was caused by what they term "her intolerable arrogance" which was augmented from the time her husband occupied the post of lord lieutenant of Ireland. at Dublin. The fair march
 
 that period as "our reign"
 Lady Londonderry is of most aristo cratic appearance and never looks as we'll as when, decked out in all her magnificent jewels. she stands at the head of the staircase of, Londonderry house receiving her husbands guests.
 While the enemies of the marchion- ess speak bitterly of her, her friends are just as warm in their praises. Of all Lord Londonderry's seats, 1t is at his Irish one, Mount Stewart, that Lady Londonderry is best seen at close range. There she is among the people whom 1t is her delight to help, and there she can exercise the distinctively Irish virtues of hospitality to all her neighbors. gentle and simple.
 In this matter, as, indeed. in so many others, both Lord and Lady London derry set an example to the great Irish landowning class. They never have had to complain-as have so many-of meeting with anything but gratitude and affection from their Irish tenantry. Every year saw them settled down for a good long stay in the most picturesque of their many beautiful homes. Mount Stewart is a typical Irish mansion. picturesque without and delightfully."- comfortable within. surrounded by fine sporting estate. and the center of a notable hunting country.

these noble ones of the south, but to both of them-in fact. to all the known, the unknown. the nameless and the forgotten women who gave their ut- termost soul and body and mind to principles of the Union blue or the Confederate gray.
 At the time of the civil war there was no Red Cross, no organized effort for nursing sick and wounded soldiers. Nor were there so many women train ed in nursing as there are now. Within thirty days after the troops were call , ed for the secretary of war appointed Miss Dorothea Dix of Boston as su- perintendent of nurses, and her word was law in the hospital department She was given power to appoint nurses and discharge them as she saw f1t There could be no question Of Miss Dix's fitness for such a position. Her activities previous to that time had been worldwide.
 She had improved prison conditions all over the country, as well as abroad and had founded thirty-two hospitals besides two in Japan. She issued cir culars describing the kind of women she required for her service, and she would accept no others. Miss Mary A. G. Holland, herself an army nurse who has written Our Army Nurses" quotes this circular of Miss Dix:
 No woman under thirty years of age need apply to serve in a govern ment hospital. All nurses are required to be very plain looking women. Their dresses must be brown or black. with no bows, no curls or jewelry and no hoopskirts."
 Down from the middle west" went Mother Bickerdyke, whom General Sherman declared to be his most re- liable general. She followed the army mountains, her paramount object to provide them with nourishment
 Mrs. Mary Martha Reid lived in Flor ida. She was a widow with an only son. When he went to join the Army of Virginia she would not stay behind. She went to Richmond and took charge of hospital, and whenever the army needed her there she was to be found. She served all through the war. to see her son die in Richmond in '64.
 Miss Jane Thomas, sixty three years old. of Tennessee, went to Virginia and. like Mrs. Bickerdyke, followed her army to give help when it was needed. Wherever the troops were gathering for battle there went Miss Jane, noth- ing daunted by age or hardship. Once in Tennessee she worked for weeks to- gether with Bishop Quintard and so won his love and respect that as long as she lived the bishop sent her a great bouquet of flowers every Easter day as a loving memorial of her war service.

 The plans provide for @ structure of two stories and basement, with an as- sembly room 50 by GA feet on the first floor. large museum room on the basement floor and numerous offices on the first and second floors.

the international relief board. From the standpoint of the Red Cross the erection of the building places the United States on a plane with Russia, Austria and Germany, which already have Red Cross buildings, and with Japan. which is now constructing one.
 But from a broader standpoint it means the rendering of homage to the flower of American womanhood of a period when the country was torn asunder and grim war stalked the land. And 1t means. too, the uniting in memory of that womanhood. for the building is not memorial to the brave women of the north nor yet to

twenty odd searchiights and the han of shot and shell of her thirty seccnd- ary battery guns, the explosion of one or even two torpedoes under her bot tom need not prove fatal.
 Has Triple Gun Turrets.
 The most striking feature of the new ship. however, is her triple gun turrets. The half century old two gun turret idea has been discarded in favor of tho recently approved American-Itaiian design of placing three guns in each turret and mounting them in one sieeve so that they may be fired at single piece. For years naval experts have tried to solve the problem of triple gun turrets, but none were successful until the Italians closely followed by Amer jeans. announced that solution had been found. Naturally 1t is a carefully guarded secret, and. while if is expect ed that other great naval powers Will finally land on the correct solution. ft may be safely predicted that American men, war, with triple gun turrets. will predominate for a number of years.
 Prior to the completion of the Texas and the New York the Arkansas and the wyoming were the biggest ships in the United States navy. These ships have a normal displacement of 36.000 tons and a speed of 2oh knots. which was exceeded on trial. the Arkansas having reached the speed of 21.5is knots during her trials off the coast Of Maine. The Arkansas and Wyoming which are No. B and No. 32, respec- lively, on the list of United States bat tleships, are both fitted as fiagships and have the following dimensions: Length b. D.. 554 feet; breadth on load water line, 93 feet 2h inches: mean draft 28 feet inches: displacement (nor- maD, 26,000 tons, with two-thirds full supply of ammunition and stores. The full displacement is 27.243 tons. and the bunker capacity is 2.500 tons. exclusive of 400 tons of oil fuel

Her battery includes twelve great fourteen inch 45 caliber guns twenty one five-inch and numerous smaller
 guns. besides two twenty-one inch tor- pedo tubes. The fourteen inch rifles are f1fty-two and a quarter feet long, weigh close to hundred tons each and shoot accurately at 12.00O yards. They fire a projectile weighing 1,200 pounds and use 300 pounds of smolSeless pow der at each discharge. Few men would experience difficulty in crawling from the breech to the muzzle.
 To protect her from an antagonists s fire fourteen inches of steel armor have been placed in front of her vitals. extending from well below the water line to several feet above. Recent ex- periments have shown that a good pointer could destroy a vessel of the older types by so directing his fire that the projectiles would not strike the ship directly. but, falling a certain number of yards short. strike her on the ricochet.
 It is a simple problem of mathemat- ics to calculate how deep shell will go below the surface before it rises on the ricochet. This has been done for all sizes of projectiles. and naval ex-
 perts know just how far short to all low their shells to fall in order that they will strike the ship beneath her armor belt and cripple her machinery. if not destroy the ship. with one shot. In the design of the Pennsylvania the arrnor belt has been extended so much that it will be impossible for a shell to penetrate her skin below the water line.
 But what about a torpedo? That deadly arm of offensive warfare has not been overlooked. Double bottoms. with almost innumerable subdivisions. all fitted with means to render them watertight at an instant's notice. have been fitted so that in case an enemy's torpedo boats managed to elude the powerful rays of the Pennsylvania's

Anything worth having is worth

This is an old, old saying; but It is

the past. .....
But how often II is forgotten!
Many men in ali the callings of life
are frequently heard complaining be-
cause they fail to accomplish their
desires. They cannot understand
why they fail when others succeed
But, when they begin to search for
the trouble, they very often find the
fault at their own front doors. They
discover that they have been dream
ing and hoping, and have failed to
work: or, If they did work, they
failed to apply their hands and their
minds in the way that assured accom-
plishment.

to work If they will succeed; to work
hard and to be filled with the spirit

anything worth while.

In working and in trying to achieve
something It ia essential that new
ideas and modern methods be applied
for in these days the 'moss-covered'
have little chance.
with religious workers the same
rules apply we hear men complain
that they cannot get anything out OF
heir churches. We hear clergymen
signing deep sighs of disappointment
because they do not find their people
responding as they should.
All such complaint Is wrong.
we can only get something worth

thing into it. The laymen who are
inactive and do not help their pastors
cannot hope for full benefit and en-

COATESVILLE READY
FOR GREAT WAR ON
RUM AND THE DEVIL
Rev. George Anderson Will
Lead Big Campaign and
All Churches Will Close
and Unite.

Coatesville, the mill town on the MAR
Line that knocked out every one of it,
saloons two years ago, is to have a
regular BILLY" Sunday evangelistic
campaign during the next six weeks. II
is hoped that such a revival will take
place following the campaign that the
town will be alive with Christian work,
ers who will work so strenuously against
rum that it will be banished from thai
place forever.
The campaign is to be carried on eX-
actly like the baseball evangelist con.
ducts his "trail-hittlng" jubilees. 1t is
to be under the direction of the Rev. DR.
George Wood Anderson, pastor OF the
largest church in Scranton, who was one
Of the leading workers during the Sun
day meetings in the upstate city
1t is the first time that Doctor Ander-
son has hit the trail for souls on such
a broad scale. He intends to resign his
pastorate and continue to conduct large
revivals in all parts of the country If he
finds that he can win men for Christ at
a rapid rate. He is a man who speaks
without fear, and his friends in his Scran-
ton church have willingly granted him a
six weeks Leave of absence in order that
he might give the evangelistic work a
tryout.
In Coatesville it Is expected that Doctor
Anderson ana his party will turn things
upside down and then right side up again.
Every Protestant church in the town has
Joined in the preliminary work. and a
great tabernacle that will seat more than
5000 persons has been built for the re-
vival meetings. Every church is to be
closed for the work. Regardless of de-
nomination color or creed. the Christian
people are going to work together for the
redeeming Of Coatesville as one mon-
ster congregation.
The tabernacle was dedicated last night
with such a large attendance that hum
dreds were unable to gain admittance.
The Rev. w. NJ. Walker, of Emmanuel
Baptist Church, Scranton, officiated, and
the music was a feature. Doctor Ander-
son will start his services tomorrow, and
during the next six weeks he will have
meetings afternoons and evenings on
weekdays. excepting on Mondays, when
he and his. party of singers. Bible teach
crs and other workers will rest Each
Sunday there will be three meetings, one
in the morning, one in the afternoon and
one in the evening.
Doctor Anderson added 1860 new menl-
bers TO his church, the Elm Park Metho-
dist Episcopal Church Scranton, as the
result of the "Billy" Sunday campaign,
and now has a congregation numbering
2500 souls.
He has been in Scranton three years,
