excess of that carried by the
ships designed eight or ten years
ago. Thus, the waterline belt.
with a maximum thickness of
about IA inches, is 17B feet
wide, and this armor extends
eight feet below the waterline.
The ship carries 16 inches of ar
NOR in the coming tower, and
the port plates of the three-gun
turrets are no less than 10 in
ches in thickness. Moreover
the whole side of the ship be-
tween the extreme turrets up
to the main decks will be heavily
armored, and with the side ar
NOR will be associated heavy
transverse armor bulkheads and
several horizontal armor decks.
The battery of water-tube, oil
fired boilers will be contained in
a set of separate, heavily-bulk-
headed boiler rooms, extending
clear across the ship and served
by a single smokestack of large
diameter, the base of which will
be protected by heavy inclined
armor-this being done to pro-
tect the uptake against pene-
tration by shell and prevent the
furnace gases from passing into
the tween decks, as happened
with disastrous effect to some of
the Russian ships in the battle
of Tsushima.
The California" is 600 feet
long on the waterline, 624 feet in
length on deck; her breadth is
81 feet, her draft 30 feet, and
her displacement $4,000 tons.
She will be provided with four.
21-inch torpedo
tubes, and her complement will
consist Of 1855 officers and men.
Her contract speed is 81 knots.
The cost of the ship, exclusive
of armor and guns, is $780, 900
and when complete she will have
cost over SIS, 900, 900. She was
laid down in February, 1918,
and is due to be completed in

The free port would offer great opportunity for financial operations, now
made possible by the recent currency act It would stimulate international
banking, and would tend to shift the financial center Of the world to this
country. And America, by the logic Of events, has become the natural center
for the worlds financing, just as London became that center several centuries
ago, when it shifted from the cities Of the Netherlands But the financial
center will only move to this country when It becomes a clearing house

is dependent upon the opening up of American ports to the clearance OF the

vestment, but to develop the prosperity Of the country" In recapuuating
the advantages, Mr. Howe brings out the importance Of the free port in de-
vhoping our shipping, and linking us with South America, Asia and Africa,
and then concludes:
THE most important gain is the direct gain to America II will cheaper

ports to the development of sea trade said in part:
Ships will 80 hundreds Of miles out Of their way
to avoid ports surrounded by a tariff wall. The only
way, therefore. for a country with a tariff to compete
in the shipping world with a free trade country is to
establish free ports at ~strategical points along its coast

short period has built up a carrying trade which before

class of United States dread
noughts of which the "Califor-
MIA" is the title ship, our battle
ships will take on a fora which
is Unfamiliar to the public. This
is due to the contour of the bow,
which will be totally unlike any
thing seen on an armored ship
of the United States since the
creation of our new Navy begun
over thirty years ago. The bow
with which we are all familiar
curves gradually forward to be
rounded below the waterlike line
into the ram-this last being a
weapon of offense, which the
development of the modern tao
tics has shown to be useless.
The great furnishing power
and extreme penetrating range
of modern naval ordnance have
made it certain that one or the
other of two contending ships
will be severely handled before
it can get within ramming dis
lance, that ramming, as part of
the tactics of a modern sea fight,
has ceased to be seriously con-
sidered. Hence the decision of
our naval constructors to omit
the ram altogether, and build
our future battleships with the
notwithstanding stemhead
and bows widely haring above
the waterline which character
ize the clipper bow. Not only
will lightweight be saved by this
construction, but the turning
ability of the ship will be some
what improved, and the fuller
lines above the w~aterline will
give to the California" and her
sisters superior seagoing quail
ties when driving hard into a
head sea.
The ships of the California"
class are enlarged "Oklahomas,"
of 1880 tons greater displace-
and mounting two additional
14-inch guns. The armor pro-
lection is somewhat heavier,
and the protection against UNI
der-water attack has been amp
lifted by the further extension
of the subdivision and by the
provision of improved anti-tor-
pedo bulkheads, designed to To-
calize the effect of the very
heavy explosive charges carried
in the head of the latest tor
pedoes.
The California" has a long
forecastle deck, which is carried
aft to the main lattice mast. For
ward on this deck are two tur-
rets, 4 each containing three l.
inch guns, those in the after
turrent firing above the roof of
the foremost turret. On the
main deck, aft are two three
gun turrets similarly disposed.
This gives a concentration of six
14-inch guns ahead, six astern
and a broadside fire of twelve
14-inch guns.
The three guns in each turret
are mounted in a common sleeve,
and are elevated, trained and
fired as one gun. This arrange
ment greatly assists the spotter
in locating the fall of the shots.
and making the corrections nee
essary in the elevation. More
over, the placing of three guns in
one turret effects a valuable
saving of weight.
An admirable feature of the
California" is the exceptional
height at which the amidships
battery of 5-inch torpedo-de-
Tense guns is carried. There
are twenty-five of these guns
four mounted in classmates on
the main deck forward, four in
classmates on the gun deck aft,

CHICAGO. May l9.-Soaking rains that

harvest resulted today in lower prices
for wheat. The market closed weak at
INC to 2hc net decline. Corn showed a

from 21fc decline 10 a rise OF &c.
Except for an early upturn, due to
covering by shorts. the wheat market
displayed bearishness throughout the
day. When the temporary support from
shorts gave out, stop-loss orders to sell
were soon encountered, and II was said
that some OF the unloading was for Bu-

continued uncertainty as to the charao-

States
disappointment because of the small
ness OF export clearances cut a figure In
preventing any material rally by wheat
bulls late in the session. On the other
hand primary receipts were large, and
reserves In some sections, especially In
the southwest, We're asserted to be prov
ing larger than had been looked for.
Corn prices suffered from the heayi-
ness of wheat and as a result Of talk
that a heavy movement Of corn from the
country might be expected now that
planting is largely out OF the way There
seemed to be no leadership on the bull
side Oats held up better than other
cereals. The reason was a revival OF
export call at the seaboRrd.
Packers buying rallied provisions. Al
