A MONUMENT TO NEWARK

Some years ago The Delaware
Ledger, in a burst of enthusiasm
for the glory and honor due New
ark, advocated a monument to be
set in our Public Park. Consider
able comment was made OH the
suggestion but no one seemed to be
able 10 hit OH all idea that would
give expression to the part Newark
is playing in the worlds history.
Well, here's an idea. There are
several boys at College this year
that a simply dead up against
it Time is slipping away. They
want the training that College
course would give then-but-.
There you have it-But. An i'll
teresting chapter could be written
OH the Butts of Life and History.
TO the monument. Let some of
Oul ClllLSllS SllIoN a LNSN di n Loan
Fund for Delaware College. Say
about $500. The interest OH this
TO be loaned to a student in neeC
of funds, the student to give hi:
note for same, obligating to pay
when he goes out i'll the world
This payment of Course would be
added to the endorsement. AC-
counting for deaths and proportion
of failures to make good, look
what this would mean in the course
of twenty years. Twenty-Five Hun
dred Dollars for a Monument fol
Newark! We will not make any
dedicatory address concerning this
beautiful shaft, 1t is a memorial
worthy of the best that is in us.
Those who judge all investment
entirely by its returns can find
most fattering figures here. Are
there twenty-five or fifty men i'll
town who will contribute this
amount toward erecting such a
monument to Newark?

One year ago the President of
Delaware College appointed Com

British Held MarshaIs.

A British field marshal never retires from the army. He may be placed on half pay. but is still borne on the ac- tive list. By the regulations there must not be more than eight field mar shals receiving pay as such-that is. exclusive of honorary field marshals, such as foreign kings, emperors and princes. x Of the eight regular field marshals two must be selected from the Indian army. The position of field marshal is a great one. The field mar shal commanding in chief in the Med iterranean gets f5,oo0 a year. Proba- bly, a field marshal actively employed will get at least E3,oO0 a year. This is better than the paysof an admiral of the fleet. who may be said to be a na- val field marshal. and gets only a little over f2,Ooo a year. exclusive of allow ances.-IreIand's Own.

In Size and Gun Power the New superdreadnaught Pennsylvania Eclipses Even the Queen Elizabeth, England's Great Vessel Leading the DardaneIea Attack.

of any navy in speed, requirern&> ts calling for 25 knots an hour while the Royal Sovereign class will make at least 22.2 knots.
 Since the outbreak of the war de- tails as to foreign naval programs have been jealously guarded and it is probable that Great Britain. Germany and France have laid down, many vessels of which no report has been made. So far as is known. however, no vessels have been planned which
 will exceed in size the three Ameri- can ships of the California class, work on which has barely started. Thess will have a displacement of 32, 900 tons each and armament equal to that of the Pennsylvania.
 The cruising radius of the Penn sy1vania will be considerably increas- ed by the fact that she will be equipped for oil fuel exclusively and will have a capacity of 2,322 tons of fuel oil The Queen Elizabeth has a capacity of 4,oO0 tons of oil because of her high speed requirements.
 From her enormous main battery the Pennsylvania will be able to hurl, with the pressure of a single firing lever, 1-2 tons of steel either broadside. In addition she will carry | a secondary battery of twenty-five 5- inch rifles for defense against tor pedo boats. She will be fitted also with four submerged A21-inch torpedo tubes and her ships company will be composed of 65 officers, 863 blue jackets and "A marines. The ship measures sos feet over all and 97 feet beam and her mean draft is 2S feet, 10 inches, almost the limit in size for the Panama Canal and pres ent navy dry docks. There are only few docks in the world which can re-
 ceive her and she could not enter many busy harbors except under most favorable conditions of tide and
 wind.
 When completed the Pennsylvania a will have cost the government more than s13,0O0.O0O. She will be ready for commission, under contract. by February 28, 1916. Her keel was laid October s27. 1913.
 The enormous size of the new ship and the startling rapidity with which
 oaftles11ip n1isconstruction had devel- oped, even before the great war, is Indicated by comparison of the Penn sy1vania with the British battleship Dreadnaught, first of a11-bfg-gun ships in any navy. The Dreadnaught
 was estimated for in 1907. She was
 designed to dispIace 17.900 tons but actually is considerably larger. In the main battery are ten 12-inch guns with broadside fire of six guns and her trial speed was 21.2 knots
 The Pennsylvania will be equipped with turbine engines as is the Okla hon1a, the Queen Elizabeth and all of the newest English, German and
 Japanese battle craft, The Nevada ] will. be operated by reciproeatinE en- zines while the California. of the 8z,- GOO class will be driven by electricity,

Man Killed On Tracks
 May Have Been Resident
 Of This City, Say Police

The body of an unidentified man. possibly belonging in Bridgeport has. been picked up beside the railroad tracks near Port Chester, New York, in a. horribly mutilated condition. Though he was probably struck by train, the actual cause of death has not been ascertained and the only means of identifying him is a slip of paper bearing the initials "Y. M. c. Az 833 Main street Russian Depart ment, Bridgeport" found upon a torn piece of r1emorandum book paper in his pocket.
 At the local r. M. c. A. where in- q1iry was made by the police it was said that he may have either come from New York in answer to an ad- vertisement inserted in New York pa pers for Russian worknen, or was returning to that city. He was not known to the local Y. M. c. A. heads by his description, which was to-day given by Chief of Police James Don ovan of Port Chester in a letter to the local police authorities, as: Probable laborer, i've feet two inches in height, weighing 135 pounds; light hair; wore gray overcoat; gray. sweater; blut suit brown soft hat and button shoes. The body will be held until Friday at Port Chester, awaiting identih cation.

tIeships of the California. class will have turbine engines and the other reciprocating in line with the navy departments policy of not entirely abandoning the reciprocatfng type until thoroughly satisfactory ma rfne turbine is found. If the experi- ment on the California. with electric drive, current to. be generated by steam turbines running at high speed, is successful, the engine problem
 may be solved. It already has proved satisfactory in a navy collier and the experiment. with the California only needs to determine whether it is equally efficient in high power plants

March 16.-Specia1tfes were again more prominent than the active or seasoned issues at the out set of to-day's stock market opera tions The minor coppers, Alaska Gold, Central Leather and Motor shares made general gains, while leaders were slightly lower or un-= changed. Later Bethlehem Steel and Texas Co, were added to the list of higher prices, the former advancing two points. Readings uncertain course reflected current gossip con nected with it's future dividend pros poets. Some very substantial reces- sions were recorded by our stocks in London, notably Canadian Pacific, Reading and Union Pacific. Read ing became acute1y weak toward mid day, declining two points to 142 38 on steady selling, much Of which was ascribed to out of town sources.

 In size and gun power the Penn Bylvania is greater even than the Queen Elizabeth of the British navy which led the recent terrific assault pf the allies on the forts of the DardaneI1es.

 The main battery of the Pennsyl- Fania. will consist of twelve 14-inch. z three guns to a turret, the plan of big gun arrangement adopted in the sister ships which preceded her, the Nevada and Oklahoma.
