New York, June 19.-The new
battleship Arizona was successfully
launched at the Brooklyn navy yard
to-day. The Arizona shares with her
sister ship, the Pennsylvania, recent
ly launched at Newport News, the
honor of being the worlds largest
battleship. The Arizona slipped in
to the water at 1:12 o'clock.
She went to the river with the
wine and water of her christening
trickling in rivulets down her bow
from two broken bottles that swung,
bound together by long red, white
and blue cord of silk. Miss Esther
Ross, of Prescott, Ariz., the sponsor
made a fair throw as the big hull
quivered and slid forward the
froth of the wine spattered her
gown and the clothes of those in her
party.
From the navy yard, black with
holiday throng, from the spans of
the Brooklyn and Williamsburg
bridges, from docks and piers along
the Manhattan and Brooklyn water
fronts, from scores of craft hugging
the far shore Of the East River, and
from oUaru o1 Mt ro;Dt 90 ,,,;,
dow and housetop in the vicinity
tens of thousands saw the newest
of American battleships glide down
the ways.

AS a measure of retaliation
against this loan there is some
talk that pro-German bankers
may make a half billion dillar
loan to Germany. If such a
loan is contemplated on the
same basis as the loan to the
allies let them hasten to the
task. The field is open and
the German financial element
should be sufficiently strong in
America to handle the affair.
The United States is ready
to sell supplies to any of the
warning nations. To be really
neutral we must take this at
titude. The difficulty of course
in connection with business
with Germany is that the allies
control the seas, hence Ger
many cannot we'll get supplies
from our country. For this
situation the United States is
not responsible. We are the
merchant; we are under obli-
cations to treat buying nations
fairly when they seek our sup
plies, but it is not our fault if
through the fortunes of war
one finds it impossible to reach
the store.
If it is a fact-as it seems to
be-that a similar loan could
be arranged for Germany if
that country were in position
to take advantage of it, then
there is nothing about the loan
that may be criticised on the
ground it upsets our attitude
of neutrality.

is RUSSIA NOW EQUIPPED ?

STATEMENTS from
- French and Russian
= newspapers may throw
hg:lt on the reason the czar's
forces were for a long time un-
able to withstand the German
attacks but now appear in bet
ter condition for warfare:
In the beginning of the
war;" says the Paris Temps,
Russia, like France and Eng
land, drew all the workmen
from the mines and factories,
and put them into the army,
with the result that manufac-
lures came to a standstill.
France and England sent home
their mechanics, but Russia
hired Cinnamon to run her fac
tories, make her ammunition,
work her mines.
"In the Bassin de Donetz,
for instance, the coal produc-
ton during the first year of
the war had fallen off 1854
900 tons, but since the advent
of thousands of Chinese work
men the production is in excess
of the antebellum figures. An
extensive iron and steel plant
has been erected near the iron
mines, and Chinese workmen
under European experts are
making ammunition for the
Russian army.
Russia" says the Petrograd
Nova Vremya, "now is suffici-
ent unto herself, and the uncer-
tainty and suspense of ship
ments by Manchuria and Arch
angel need no more disquiet
the reorganized Russian army
and navy"

THE LOAN AND NEU-
TRALITY

n T is formally announced
that the loan of $780,
100000 to the allies has
been arranged for; so it may be
taken for granted the financial
aid desired by France and Eng
land is to be forthcoming.
The basis of this loan is that
the money be taken out in
trade with the United States.
The allies will not really get
the cash as it is all to be ex-
pended here for foodstuffs and
munitions.

HIGH

The first student body meeting OF
the high school will be held next
Monday. The chief business to come
before the body is to nominate vice
president. The election will be held
one week later as provided for in the
constitution, The vacancy was made
by the former elected vice president.
Percy osborne leaving here to at
tend school in the east Harold Ma
loney is president Of the student
body.
The first class to organize and elect
officers was the juniors of the 1917
class. A meeting was called last ev-
ening and the following officers
elected, President, Ralph Hargette
vice president, Ben Gerkin; secretary
and treasurer, Grace Rugg, and COM
mitteeman at large. Chester Reed.
There has always been a class rivalry
between the 1917 and 1916 classes.
and so now the II class has started
out to surpass the great reputation
the '16 class has of being the largest
and best athletic class the school has
turned out.
The seniors have for the past two
or three years contributed most Of
the men for the basketball, football
and track teams, This year will see
a team placed in the field by the ju-
niors, in each branch of athletics to
capture the laurels of being class
champions from the Seniors, who
have held the title for some time.

The orchestral situation has been
little affected by the war. and the com

If no world conhagration were occur
ring on the other side Of the Atlantic.
Since the war broke out comparatively
few musicians have arrived from Eu-
rope. and because of the recent modif-
cation Of the rules of the American
Federation Of Musicians the arrivals
have been alb at once to enter the
union ranks without waiting for the
former period Of six months. All that
the Federation now requires Is the in
tention of a musician TO become an
American citizen. OF the local orches-
tras, the New York symphony and the
METROPOLITAN Opera House orchestras
remain intact. The Philharmonic, how
ever. announces several changes, Mr..
Stransky having become convinced that
there has been in the past a lack OF
brilliaucy in the string section. ME
realizing that sentimental reasons were
against any change, the Philharmonic
conductor has felt that the good OF the
organization demands the introduction
of Young blood. and he has made his
plans accordingly.
The string section has been augment
ed 90 sixty players, seven changes tax
ing place.
The violin section is particularly af-
fected by these changes and still fur
Their improved, as all the new players
were subjected to trial performances.
Mr.. Stransky devoted month 70 hear
ing trial playing by applicants, and
only seven Of the seyenty-two appIl-
cants were selected.
In the brass section there is one
change. Mr.. lie Roy Haines has been
engaged for trombonist. Mr.. A. Mar
chett. an exceptional artist, has been
secured as the orchestra's English horn
player, and the percussion section has
been augmented to four players.
There viii also be changes IN the
seating plan of the orchestra on the
Carnegie Hall stage, in cOnformance
with Mr.. Stransky's ideas, and to this
puruose the platform has been recon
structed to secure the best acoustic
results for the players. The extension

Weber last week. THE governments
which in the past have done so much TO
support music and opera will be forced
10 turn their attention to binding up
the wounds of war and mitigating
mere physical suffering. This will
throw thousands of musicians out Of
employment. and these. needless to say,
will flock to the only land untouched
by the war which possesses a musical
life-thev will come TO America. Then
there will come severe competition,
