MARE ISLANDS BID LOWEST.
Navy Department May Build De
slroyers On Pacific Coast.

Official figures given out at the Navy
Department show that the government
navy yard at Mare Island San Francis.
co, can build two of the proposed new
torpedo boat destroyers for S712,63s
each. which is s156.S62 less for each
vessel than the amount asked by Viii
liam Cramp & Sons, of Philadelphia
whose bid was the lowest made by any
private concern
The Mare Island yard promises de-
livery in twenty months The bid of
William Cramp & Sons was 1852, 900
each for two destroyers, to which must
be added $17.500 for delivery on the
Pacific coast, making the total cost for
leach vessel sS69,500. The low estimate
by the Mare Island yard applies only ir'
case two destroyers are built there
The figures for one vessel is S762, ,63S,
which is still $1O6,6S2 less than the
lowest private bid
The Navy Department therefore, will
probably build two of the destroyers
at Mare Island. It is certain that one
will be built there. Secretary Daniels
said that the bid of Mare Island at such
a figure was due to the splendid or
ganization of the yard.

PROSPECT OF SUCCESS.
For Organizing Platoon of Machine
Gun Company,

A meeting of some of those interest
ed in the formation of the Annapolis
platoon of the machine gun company
took place at the Bladen Street Arm
Iory last night.
Many of those interested were not
able to attend for one reason or an
other, but those present showed much
interest and the movement was launch
ed with every prospect of success.
Seven young men of Annapolis signed
the paper agreeing to become members
of the organization provided the re-
quisite ndmber of nineteen is obtained.
They are T. Chattle Hopkins, John r.
Kaiser, Andrew A. Kramer, Clarence
Newton, Malcolm e. DeConway, l..
Earle Strange and A thEr Mcp. Carter
1t is believed that the full number, or
more, will be obtained within the rext
few days Those interested should see
Major Hugh Il Riley or Lieut.. f. Gra-
ham Moss.

Naval Oficer Makes sugeestion.

An officer of the Navy makes sug-
gestion well worthy of consideration,
saying:
Your explanation of the numbers
and signal letters appearing in the
monthly registers was greatly appreci-
ated by the officers on duty at this
yard. But don't you think the plan
should be carried much further? Off
GERS who have specialized in subma-
rines that are doing their tour of shore
duty viii naturally want to take up
submarine duty in the time of war.
Others will be peculiarly fitted for
other branches of the service. Should
war be declared the Department would
probably be swamped with kilograms
requesting orders for certain duties.
Such were the case when orders were
issued to occupy Vera Cruz. believe
officers should be allowed torequestt the
kind of duty they prefer in time of war.
after all requests have been received
by the Department a plan worked out
assigning officers to the duties consist
ent with the hest interests of the naval
service. Sealed orders should be sent
to all officers or comnaandants and to
heads of divisions, to be opened when
war is declared. Such course in time
Of peace would relieve the Department
of much work ct a time when more inn
portant matters require attention"

ONE THOUSAND
EDITORS CANvASSED.
Literary Digest Gets Nation Wide
Opinion On Woman's Suffrage.

Yesterday afternoon at the meeting
OF the Just Government League, an ar
ficle in the October 9Th issue of the
Literary Digest was the special topic.
The editor of this widely-read weekly
had canvassed one thousand editors all
over the United States to ask their
editorial opinion upon Woman suffrage
and also the supposed opinion of their
respective communities.
The significant fact was brought out
that, OF all the editors who replied a
larger majority favor granting votes
to women. Even in the conservative
South and New England. editorial
opinion is strongly favorable. although
some communities in those sections
are on the opposite side.
In the twelve states where full suf-
frage prevails, the editors and the peo-
pie would not think of taking the votes
away from the women. Notably among
the eastern papers is the strong en-
dorsement of the Philadelphia North
American. which gives FIVE clear-cut
reasons for equal suffrage to both
sexes.
The Annapolis Evening Capital is
quoted as one of the journals which
protest against a one-sided suffrage.
Next Tuesday, October 10. the Just
Government League viii hold an even
ing netting at o'clock for the public
II viii be known as a Protest and a
Congratulatory Meeting" The pro-
test will be pronounced against the ac-
tion of the two old political parties in
Maryland for omitting Woman suf-
frage plank from their platforms. while
the congratulations will be offered
upon the President of the United States
declaring his belief in Woman suffrage
and his determination 10 vote for it.
Prominent odt-cf-town speakers viii

converted and unconverted to the
cause. men and women, are cordially
invited. The meeting promises TO be
