Thousands Saw Launching

From the navy yard, black with a

Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges,
from the docks and piers along the
Manhattan and Brooklyn water fronts,
from scores of craft along the East

of window and house top in the vi

Then three blasts from a whistle an

launching had come. The crashing Of
the music of six navy bands play
ing the Star Spangied Banner was
lost in the din made by harbor craft
that had echoed the signal.
The ship trembied and novel, the
sponsor swung the TWO bottles; they
broke; deafening roar went up from
the crowd, and in a few moments the
battleship's stern was cleaving the
waters Of the East River.
She settled gracefully in the water
and. carried forward by the weight OF

Denounces Two Organizations Headed by For
mer Presidents and Warns Against ANY
Influence That the Jingoes May Seek to Ex-

New York, June 20-William Jen-
nings Bryan, addressing labor peace
meeting at Carnegie hall here Sat
urday night, attacked former Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Taft as leading
sponsors of organizations which stand
for the use of force in international
affairs and which, the former secre-
tary of state declared, are inimical to
the true interests Of this country and
to the cause Of international peace.

claring that he could find no more ia
vorable auspices than those of tonight

it his duty to perform-aiding lin

II doom this an opportune time and
place." said Mr.. Bryan, ito invite you
to enter a protest against two organ
izations which are already asking the
support of the public. Both Of these
organizations are differed and manned
by men Of great responsibility.
"One Of these organizations has for
it's object a large increase in the
army and navy. 1t has set for itself the

curity and 1t is busily angaged in
minimizing the force and effectiveness
of our army and navy in order to fur
nish argument in favor Of the en-
largement Of both. Ex-President
Roosevelt is the most potential fac
tor in this group. and it is quite nat
ural. on account Of his prominence
his great ability and his extreme
views, he should direct the general
policy of the organization. He dis
credits not only the intelligence but
even the motives Of those whom he
contemptuously describes as pacific
lists and advocates Of peace at any
price He more than intimates that
they are physical towards and that
their attitude on international ques-
tions is due to fear Of bodily injury.

Great Dreadnought Arizona

Shares Honor of Being Worlds Largest Battle
ship with the Pennsyl vania : Christened by
Miss Esther Ross, an Arizona Girl

New York, June 20.-The new bat
tleship Arizona was successfully
launched at the Brooklyn navy yard
here Saturday. The Arizona shares
with her sister ship, the Pennsylvania,
the honor Of being the worlds largest
tattleship. The Arizona slipped into
the water at liz O'Clock.
She went to the river with the wine
and water of her christening trucking
in rivulets down her bow. Miss Es-
Their Ross of Prescott, Ariz., the bat
tleship's sponsor, made a fair throw
as the big hull slid slowly forward;
the froth of the wine spattered her
gown and the clothes of those in her
party.

of the brighter experiences of Legislative

also to the grind.
Notable among the letters from alb
sent members was one from Congress-

the Maine newspaper men and ex-
pressed the sincere wish that he might
be present at the first annual banquet
of the association, but explained that
he was delayed in Washington by Of

OF the other organizations, with for
mer President Taft 'its most conspic-

that, although Mr.. Taft himself has
been prominently identified with the
cause Of peace and men associated
with him in the organization are at
least not antagonistic to peace" the
idea that some persons may have had
of regarding MIR. Taft's organizatio

the Roosevelt organization" is mis-
taken.
when the plan Of the Taft organ
ization is understood" continued Mr..
Bryan, ''it will be seen that it's eff

Roosevelt propaganda. If the purpose
of Mr.. Roosevelt's organization is to
make preparation for war pleasant, Mr..
Taft's organization may be regarded
as furnishing a plausible pretext for
the preparation which Mr.. Roosevelt

guns would be bigger and Of longer
range. In addition, she could steam
eway from them or overtake them at
pleasure, developing q knots against
their Is or Il. The remarkable thing
about the greatest increase in size and
gun power. however. is that each OF
the smaller ships would need as many
or more men than the Arizona, which
will carry a complement of 915 in her
crew.
The new sea fortress as she took the
water today cost more than seven
million dollars. That was for hull and
machinery alone. The guns and armor
will cost as much more and other
equipment necessary to fit her for duty
will add another million to her total
cost. She is longer and wider than
any but the newest transatlantic
liners. If it is desired to put her
through the Panama canal the locks
and bends in the channel will be taxed
almost to the limit to give her pas
sageway.
The Arizona is the fourth battleship
to the built in a government yard and
her place on the ways will be taken at
once by the California, a larger and
faster but similarly armed ship.

The New BattIeship

Ships of the line, like the Arizona,
are built to give and receive punish
ment in sea battles. Their mission
has little in common with that of the
battle cruisers which have been the
largest ships to engage each other dur
ing the European war. Speed is sacri-
feed in the construction of the battle
ships to weight Of armor, and against
such a ship as the Arizona, with her
broadside fire from II 14-inch guns
and protection Of more than a foot of
the toughest steel that can be made
around the vessels vital parts like a
wall, a battle cruiser would be help
less and must depend on her speed and
seek safety in flight. There are few
ships in any navy fit to cope with
the Arizona, ship to ship.
The range of the Arizona's guns is
from y 10 10 miles, as they will be set
in her turrets, or as far as her gum
pointers and observers can see in
brightest weather. AS previous ships
carrying the 14-inch guns, the Ari-
zona's main battery will have a maxi
mum elevation of nearly 20 degrees.
1t would be possible, it is said, to al
most double that elevation and add
miles to the range of the guns; but al
ready they can shoot and hit farther,
it is probable, than they would ever
be called upon to do.
The Arizona will carry the three gun
turrets which have been developed by
American naval constructors, her Il
big rifles being housed in four turrets,
two forward and two aft In addi-
ton she will have a secondary battery
of % 5-inch. long range rifles for de-
Tense against destroyers, torpedo boats
and submarines. The big guns can
be fired over either broadside and
around the entire circle with the ex-
ception of an arc of less than 80 de-
grees directly forward for the after
turrets and directly astern for the
forward turrets. Four of the secondary
battery guns, two on each side are so
placed that they can fire three degrees
across the ships bows, taking the
place of bow chasers of the old wooden
ship days.
Compared to the Arizona the old
battleshps of the Oregon class are
almost like toys. The new ship could
engage fleet of three of them at the
same time, turning upon each as many
guns as it could bring to bear, and her
