In a later letter accompanying
sketches OF the triple hull which the
secretary Of the navy has asked for
that he may submit them to the new
board Of experts, Gathmann points
out that:
Germany is the only country which
has recognized the value of this triple
hull system so far, and their latest
dreadnaughts are so constructed and
can defy high explosive shells and
torpedoes or Mines"
The accompanying sketches, now
printed for the first time, we're drawn

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Veterans Oppose Pension Change

Veterans Oppose Pension Change To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I notice in the papers considerable com ment upon the action of the legislature in dispensing with the pension board and putting the matter of pensions in the hands of the auditor and the probate judges. Without exception the old vet erans who served honorably and faithfully in the war are opposed to the new an- nouncement of things. and want the pen sion board to stand as it was The pen sion roll indeed should be a roll of honor, and the deserters and stay at homes and negroes should all be eliminated, and only those who did their duty at the front should be on the roll.
 The candidates for the legislature made their promises that they would look after the interest of the old veterans if they were elected, but it seems like they have forgotten, and by letting down the bars and opening the way again for deserters and home guards, and others that are not worthy to be on the rolls to get back after they have been rightfully stricken from the roll. They are not looking after the interests of the worthy veterans, but rather working against them by allowing conditions to exist that will considerably reduce the already small pittance they are getting. Let the pension board stay as 1t Is. and let every man that cannot show a clean record and prove by his comrades in arms that he was actually In service and never deserted his column stay off the roll. and thereby make 1t roll of honor. The old soldiers have their eyes on the legislature, and they will require of those whom they helped to elect strict account of their stew ardship when they return to their homes General Ferguson did a good thing in purging the pension roll as he did. and the old veterans would be glad to see him remain as he is to safeguard the interest of the worthy few that are left of the war of the eos, and we hope the legisla- tura will make the pension roll roll of honor instead of roll of poli- tics. Yours for justice
