Newport News, Va, March 16- Sponsored by Miss Elizabeth Kolb of Germantown, Pa., the giant U. s. dreadnaught Pennsylvania slip ped from tine ways today and took her place as the most powerful lighting machine yet launched.
 In the presence of Secretary of Navy Daniels, and other officials, solemn ceremonies were conducted. While sailors and marines stood at attention, aud as big salute guns boomed forth, Miss Kolb dashed q hottie of champagne over the bow, and christened Uncle Sans 3Sth battleship the Pennsylvania.
 As the enormous fighting machine plunged into the ocean, she pres ented a strange contrast to the Delaware, launched in the same yards-the Newport News Ship building companys yards in 1909.
 Where the Delaware had a dis placement of 10000 tons, the giant Pennsylvania had 31,4OO. Mammoth llack guns, bristling from her sides were 14-inch, type-twelve in num- ber-against the Delaware's ten 12-inch guns.
 In addition to her larger guns, the Pennsylvania carries four sub merged torpedo tubes, through which she can shoot under water at an enemy; and 22 5-inch caliber ra- pid fire guns, four three pounder saluting guns, two one pounders, for boats, two three inch field pieces and two 30 caliber machine guns.
 She will carry 65 officers, crew of S63, and marine detachment of "A.
 Thirteen million dollars was the cost to Uncle Sam of this latest ad- dition to the navy, she is far and away better than anything the navy has ever asked before From top to bottom her equipment is strictly modern. Oil burning CurtiSs tur- pines instead of coal engines will propel her, and she is fitted to car ry 694,S39 gallons of fuel.
 Other figures showing what a giant she is folIows:--length over all 6SO; breadth, 971afeet; speed, 21 knots. The keel was laid down in February, 1913.
 The Pennsylvania, in some re- spects will be the most powerful vessel afloat. While not as speedy as the greatest British warship, the Queen Elizabeth" which hurled it's projectiles with deadly effect in the Dardanelles bombardment, the Pennsylyania's weight of broadslde is 5000 pounds heavier than the British rival, and her protective ar nor is three inches thicker.

 Washington, D. C., March 16- Americas note which is being pre- pared to be sent to Great Britain in reference to the order for blockade of all the North Sea coast, will, it is said, be the sharpest, and most vigorously worded of any d- plomatic communication yet sent by the administration to any of the beIllgerents during the present war, as it is claimed that the enforce ment of the order will practically make America a party to the con- tempated starvation of Germany. The allies are reported to have had spies for months past working in Tacoma, Seattle and San Francis co, gathering information in regard to the movements of steamers leav- ing for European ports.
