Want Biggest
BdHleShipS
In the World

WASHINGTON. Jan. 14.-Main bat
teries OF ten 16-inch guns each. the
greatest practicable speed and a cruis-
ing radius Of at least 10000 miles are
the general characteristics urged by
the navy general board for the new
super-dreadnaughts congress has been
asked 10 authorize this year.
II was learned tonight that the
board proposes that the ships should
cost S1S.OOO.O0O each. displace $4,000
tons and have the highest speed at
tainable without sacrifice of arma-
ment. arms or fuel capacity. II would
have them represent at % per cent
increase in gun power and endurance
over any American battleship afioat
or authorized and carry the biggest
guns ever placed aboard a fighting
ship by any power.
Indications at the navy department,
however. are that adherence to the
$4,000 ton ship OF the California class
finally will be decided upon by Sec
retary Daniels. although the estimates
already before congress are based on
the larger craft. Opinions differ
among Mr.. Daniels advisers as to the
advisability OF increasing the size OF
battleships. because OF many limita-
tions OF yard facilities and channel
depths.
Some officers believe also. that the
power of individual guns should not
be increased az the expense Of the
total number of big guns carried. The
California and similar ships will car
~ twelve 1i-inch guns. each.
The general board reached its con-
clusion on the necessity of bigger
ships after a study OF belligerents
abroad.

 LEYEE:: CITY FLOOD[ D

Newport, Feb. 1.-Water was com ing over the southeast city levee at 1O:3O o'clock last night at Newport and 1t was expected that the lower part of the city will be flooded. The Jacksonport levee was still holding at l2:3O o'clock this morning. The Iron Mountain and Rock Island levees can stand further rise Of the river.
 Three-fourths of the people of Newport have left and more will leave today if trains can be run from the city. Mayor Hubby announced that there would be little need for re- lief work, as many of those who might have become dependent have left town. Special patrolmen, detailed to guard the deserted residences were told to urge the departure of all who )night suffer
 F. R. Suits, chairman of the New port Levee Commission, last night said that he expected the Jacksonport levee, south of town, to hold until to- day, although it was possible that it would break by midnight. The White river was at 33 feet on the local gauge last night and was rising at the rate of nearly an inch an hour. Less than foot of water will top the Jacksonport levee, which was not expected to hold more than 33 feet.

With hard freeze last night winch will have the effect of holding back some of the water, no rainfall during the past "A hours and fair weather today, Arkansas river plan ters in Faulkner county are feeling more hopeful The river was still rising at 2 o'clock this afternoon, but the rise is very slow and the Arkan- sas is expected to crest tonight or to- morrow morning.
 Telephone lines to all points on the river front except B. E. Kings, on the mouth of the Cadron, are out of commission and it is impossible to ob- tain direct information. A report from Levee District No. this morn ing stated that the water lacked only five inches of coming over the levee, but that large gangs of men were billing up sandbags and it was hoped that the levee would be saved.
 Col. J. E. Little telephoned last night that the levee in District No. 1 could hold back four feet more water, and everyone in that district was feeling secure. Headwater from the bayou, however, is giving considera ble trouble and is higher than was ever known before.
 The Cadron at Gleason this morn ing was up to the floor of the new steel bridge and was still rising. The approaches on both sides are covered Many thousands of acres of land in Cadron bottoms are overfowed, but so far no reports of serious damage have reached Conway.
 Mail service out of Conway is still seriously crippled, with little hope of immediate relief. No mail has gone over the Bee Branch route, which serves Wooster, Martinville and Da- mascus in this county, since Satur- 1 day.
