important feature of the morning S
program was discussion on Literature
in the grades by Miss Ambrose. Miss

PLAN TRANSFER
Of WAR VESSELS
GREECE WILL HAVE TO PAY
$11,7j0,Ooo FOR SHIPS IDAHO
AND MISSISSIPPI

Washington. June 24.-Navy Off
Cials were busy Wednesday preparing
to turn oger the battleships Idaho and
Mississippi to he Greek government.
Final action on the naval appropria.
ton bill, which includes authority for
the sale of the ships, will be taken
in a day or Two aud as soon as the
president has signed the measure the
department will be ready to order the
transfer.
It is left to the president and the
secretary of the navy to name the
sale price, the intention being to fix
this at the actual cost of construC.
ton and equipment. This involves a
rather complicated calculation, but it
is believed that $11,75O,0OO will be
about the figures.
With the vessels will go most of
the supplies now aboard and a full
store Of coal to carry them to their
destination. There was some idea at
one time of taking out the "fire con-
troll or system of electric communi-
cation by which the commanding Of
ficer of the ship is enabled to point
and fire every gun from the bridge
or coming tower. This is a pecu-
liarly American development, but the
system as installed on the Idaho and
Mississippi is fairly well known in
ether nayies and has been much in
proved upon.
According 20 the tentative plan of
transfer, the Idaho, which Is now
a Gibraltar, will be sent northward
to Grayesend, England where she
Will be met by the battleship Alaba-
ma, now in reserve at the Philadel-
phia navy yard, which will take off
her personnel, including the Annapo-
lis midshipmea, how on their sum-
mer cruise. Then the Idaho will b.
manned by a Greek naval crew.
The Mississippi, now at Pensacola,
will be sent TO northern navy yard,
probably Boston, to be stripped of
the aeroplanic appliances that encum-
her her deck and superstructure Her
personnel vii! be transferred to the
North Carolina now in reserve at
Boston, and Greek sailors viii be on
hand TO take her across the Atlantic
The possibility of an actual out
break of hostilities between Greece
and Turkey is being considered in
connection with the arrangements for
sale of the ships. In the event of
actual war and proper declaration
by either party or both, the sale
could not De consummated or the
ships delivered without violation of
neutrality.
