Nora brought in a plate of steam

moments later. Helen was about to
take one through force of habit when
she reflected suddenly and munched
the dry toast in silence.
The hot water and lemon seemed
rather tasteless, but she gulped 1t
down bravely.

Message from Wilson
Secretary Daniels said that he had
been directed by President Wilson to
say for the President that he was
proud of the new Pennsylvania and
hoped it would never be called upon
in war to demonstrate it's prowess.
The hope was expressed by the Sec
retary that as the Pennsylvania goes
forth as the symbol of American JUS
tice and power her mission would be
to help forward a lasting peace of
the world. For" he added, she is
the embodiment in effectiveness of this
powerful nation, which believes in
peace. but also believes with Hosea

While the British monster carries
larger guns, her main battery is only
ltwo-thirds the size of that of the
Pennsylvania in number and the
American battleship is 5000 tons
greater in size.
The main battery of the Pennsylva-
mia will consist of twelve 14-inch, As
caliber rifles set in four turrets, three
guns to a turret, the plan of big gun
arrangement adopted in the sister
ships which preceded her. the Nevada
and Oklahoma. Her tonnage meas
urement is S1,40O against 27,5OO for
the Nevada and Oklahoma and the

ever, carries eight 15-inch rifles, As

inch rifles each in two 3-gun and two
2-gun turrets. In all these ships, in
Guiding the Pennsylvania, the turrets
are all on the center line to concen-
trate their fire on either broadside.
Five battleships of the British navy
, yet to be launched will have less ton
mage than the Pennsylvania. the ships
of the Royal Sovereign class being
of 24,500 tons displacement, and none
will equal the Pennsylvania in arma-
ment. Each is designed to carry efeh.
15-inch guns.
Details of four other British battle
ships, already authorized. are moi
known here officially.
| Five ships of the japanese navy. es-
timated for in 1914 and known as the
Fuso class, will not equal the Pennsyl-
vania in tonnage with their displace-
ment OF so, 900 tons, but will carry the
same main battery of twelve 14-inch
rifles. They will exceed the PennsvI-
Ivania in speed, estimates calling for
% knots against 81 knots for the
Pennsylvania.
The 1914 estimates for the German
navy call for three ships of the Kaiser
| Friedrich III class. with a displace-
ment of $4,000 tons and carrying eight
I5-inch rifles
! The British ships of the Queen
/ Elizabeth class greatly exceed those
of any other navy in speed, REQUIRE
ments calling for 25 knots an hour
while the Royal Sovereign class will
make at least 22.5 knots.
Since the outbreak of the war de-
tails as to foreign naval programs
have been jealously guarded and IL is
probable that Great Britain, Germany

| sells of which no report has been made.
| So far as is known. however, no yes
sells have been planned which will ex-
ceed in size the three American ships
of the California class, work on which
has barely started.
These will have a displacement of
$4,000 tons each and armament equal
to that of the Pennsylvania.
| The cruising radius of the Pennsyl-
vania will be considerably increased
by the fact that she will be equipped
for oil fuel exclusively and will have

Navy in Better Condition
Than Ever Before, Says
Daniels; Ready to Fight
BN .4ssoeiated Press

Newport News, Va, March 16.-Sec-
retary Daniels, answering critics of
the unpreparedness of the American
navy for war. declared in an address
here to-day that never before in its
history was the navy in better shape to
fight. He spoke at luncheon given in
his honor following the launching of
the new superdreadnaught Pennsyl-
vania.
"There never was time" said Sec
retary Daniels, when the navy was so
powerful. so ready, so etilclent, as
now. Nor has there been a year when
the fleet has given so much time to
target practice, maneuvers and war
games as the present. Skill, modern
adoption, new tactics are being carried
out day and night. The motto of the
navy of to-day is Training. training
and more training; practice and more
practice Nothing else keeps ships
and men fit. To-day they are fit and
ready"
Reviews Development
Secretary Daniels reviewed the
progress of building battleships and
said that the launching of the Penn
sylvania was one of the many concrete
proofs of strength. effectiveness and
steady development of the navy of
1915. He praised Congress for provid-
ing recently for an increase in the
navy, saying il showed its wisdom of
the value of submarines when 1t au-
thorized big increase of that craft.
mo nation" he said, has placed
such substantial faith in the deadly
power of this undersea craft. Within

panied by submarines which can make
