English Naval Authority Says We Will
Have Strongest Squadron.

Have Strongest Squadron.
The Navy League OF the United
States called attention to the declara-
ton Of Maurice Prendergast. noted
British naval expert. that with the
completion in 1918 Of the Dread,
noughts California. Idaho and Missis-
>ippi the United States would possess
the most powerful and homogeneous
squadron in existence. 1t will consist
Of seven super DreadnOughts. Mr..
prendergast commends especially the

ing the big fourteen inch guns and
praises the policy Of American naval
designers In favor Of thick arnor or
none.
In an article for the Navy. the organ
Of the British Navy league. Mr.. Prem
dergast says:
with perhaps the exception Of the
japanese Fuse no Drendnought among
the fleets on active service can com
pare with these new American ships
in the matter Of size. The American
ships will probably be the largest afloat
for many years after their completion.
During the past ten years the de
sign Of American battleships has dis
played remarkable standard Of ex
cellence. 1t was clearly recognized In
the very first United States Dread
noughts that plain broadside fire was
Of more practical value than heavy
end on fire ut odd angles. After all
navies had tried various methods Of
mounting big guns. the American. cen
ter line plan had to be finally adopted.
THESE new American ships are de.
velOppd from the Nevada class. Both
the Nevada and our Queen Elizabeth
were designed about the same time.

American ships are facile princeps. a

The federal grand jury at Juneau, after l9 days of labor, completed it's duties last Monday and turned in it's final report, and was discharged. Of the 67 cases that came up for investi- gation, the grand jury found true bills in 55. In its final report the body recommended that the sale of liquor be confined to licensed saloons; that the methods of the United States cOmmis- sionera at Wraugell be investigated; that saloons be required to keep a record of sales; that federal prisoners be worked on public roads; that the commissioner at Juneau be authorized to index the records of his office, back to the yea 1890; that grand jurors be paid $500 a day, and that uniform school books be provided for the whole territory.

But if clouds overcast the sky, he knows that spring has come and stays out in the open and begins making plans for the summers work. Now Monday was the second of February-tberefore ground hogs day. Heavy clouds hung low over the mouu- tains from early morning until late at night There was no chance for bis hogship to see bis shadow. All be- lievers in the sign were happy.

this year. The team was scheduled
to play. in Georgetown last Friday

the treasury the trip could not be
taken. In view Of the fact that
the club won majority Of its
games and was one of the strong

it deserved much better patronage
at home than it received. 1t is to
be hoped that another season the

the best teams Of the season because
