WEALTHIEST MAN RETIRED
 AFTER 30 YEARS SERVICE

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 19.-Sergeant Major James Denver, United States Marine Corps, wealthiest enlisted man in the united services, was retired here last week after thirty years continu- ous service with Uncle Stam's sea soldiers, possessing real estate, stocks bonds, mortgages, and personal pro- perty valued at more than one hun dred thousand dollars.
 Denver had no capital when he en- tered the Marine Corps in 1885 and has been dependent entirely on his pay as an enlisted man, and his own efforts in the accumulation of wealth.
 He will continue to draw from the government about $70 a month re- tired pay for so long as he may live.
 By strict economy Denver managed to save several thousand dollars in the first fourteen years with the Mar ines, and when he was transferred to Seattle in 1899, predicted that this city would one day be the metropolis of the great Northwest. He wisely invest ed his savings in Seattle realty when values were low He sold his holdings several times and reinvested oppor- tunly until his wealth passed the six figure mark.
 The wealthiest enlisted man resides with his wife and young son in their beautiful home at 4226 South Alki Street, overlooking the waters of Pu- get Sound.

TRAINING NEGRO
 BOYS AND GIRLS
More Attention Given to Work Than Ever BefOre-ThrOugh
 Agency Jeannes Fund State Agent FavrOt Carries on Work

Never before in the history of Ark ansas has so much attention been giv- en to the industrial training negro boys and girls. Through the agency of the Jeannes fund, this work is be- ing carried on actively under the di- rection of Leo. M. Favrot, state agent of negro rural schools, who has an office in the State Department of Edu- cation. '
 The work has been successfully in- augurated in the counties of Arkansas Chicot, Clark, Hot Springs, Dallas, Desha, Hampstead, Jefferson, Miller, Monroe, Prairie and Pulaski. The amount supplied by the Jeannes Fund varies from $30 to $40 a county and the length of the term from six to eight months. The demand upon this fund has become so great that coun- ties seeking aid are required to raise from local sources one-third of the amount required to maintain an in- dustrial agent or teacher.
 During the last year the eleven agents employed in this work visited III schools, and 761 homes, and trav- eled 11,293 miles. Sewing and fancy work, cooking, laundering, homework woodwork, basketry, chair-caning, ag- riculture, and home making are among the subjects taught.
 All members of the Negro Girls Home-makers Clubs will be given an opportunity to display their products and to compete for prizes at the meet ing of the Negro State Teachers Asso- citation to be held in Pine Bluff, Dec. 2S-3O. A number of valuable prizes in cash and scholarships have been provided.

PLAN TO CONSTRUCT
 MONSTER BATTLESHIPS
May Be Manned With 16-Inch Guns, Largest Calibre Ever Used at Sea.-Maximum Speed Less than 21 Knots, Now.

Washington, Nov. 18.-Tentative plans are being considered, Secretary Daniels said today, for two 36,OO0- ton battleships to be included in the first years part of the five-year build ing program Congress will be asked to approve. There are no warships so large afloat anywhere. The biggest ever designed for the American navy was the 23,0O0-ton California type two of which were authorized last year and bids for which have just been re- ceived. Part of the increased displacement in the newest ships will be due to changed hull construction to provide additional torpedo defense bulkheads. It is probable they will have increas- ed armament and speed. The navy has developed new 16-inch rife and the new ships may carry 10 or more of these if developments of the European war indicate the wisdom of mounting them. The largest guns now afoat are the 15-inch weapons of the Euro pean navies which the American IA inch is said to equal for all practical purposes.
 Maximum speed of American battle ships now built or authorized is less than 21 knots although European first line ships go considerably above that. It is probable a speed of perhaps 25 knots will be sought hereafter.
 It is believed private builders will not attempt to construct the hulls and machinery of the ships within the S7 7,8O0,O00 limit.
 Neither ship can be laid down be- fore next summer for lack of structu- ral steel. The war has swept the American steel market clean. Secre- tary Daniels intimated that unless some arrangement could be made with steel plants to insure preference for the government orders Congress might be asked to act. An embargo on exportations of steel until the gov ernment's wants are supplied has been suggested.
