women of the state, between an appeal
to them to vote for Charles E. Hughes

NAVY OPENS BIDS
ON BIC WARSH|PS
Takes First Step in Huge
Building Program Authorized
by Congress.
NAMES NOT SELECTED YET

The Navy Department took the first
step today toward placing under contract
for construction the huge building pro-
gram authorized by Congress this year
the largest single order for fighting cratt
ever advertised by any nation.
OF the fifty-eight ships to be laid down
in 1917, the department was prepared to
examine today bids for four battleships
and twenty destroyers. Bids for four
scout cruisers and twenty submarines Will
be opened next week, and in December
offers for the construction Of four battle
cruisers will be received.
Under the terms of the naval bill all the
1917 ships must be contracted for or work
on their construction in government yards
begun before February /. Construction
of a hospital ship, fuel ship and a gun
boat already has been started at the navy
yards at Philadelphia, Boston ana
Charleston. respectively.
The four bat;leships will be the frst OF
the United States Navy to carry sixteen
inch rifles in their main batteries. Elach
will be euuipped with eight of these big
guns-the heaviest known to have been
placed aboard warcraft. although 1t IS
currently reported that Great Britain is
preparing to arm an experimental snip
with eighteen-inch rifles.
Names Not Selected Yet.
Until names have been selected the
ships will be known as Nos. As, 46, AZ
and As. They will be similar in ap-
pearance and general design to the
battleships Tennessee and California,
now under construction, but will be
500 tons heavier in displacement, total
ing 80, coo tons. The additional tonnage
is due to more torpedo protectlon ana
side arTnor.
The ships are expected to have
cruising radius of nearly 1000 sea
miles without refueling. They will
have the stean-electric drive and make
at least twenty-one knots.
In addition to the sixteen-inch rifles
the new ships will carry eighteen five
inch torpedo defense guns, four OF the
craft guns and the usual equipment of
torpedo tubes Their main batteries
will be mounted two guns to turret,
departing from the three-gun turret
construction on the Pennsylvania and
later ships.
The scout cruisers will be the first
scouts, designed for that work alone. |
to be added to the navy. The old light
cruisers Salem. Chester and Birming-
ham. known scout cruisers. have not
the speed necessary for modern sea
pickets.
The scouts will make a sustained |
speed of thirty-five knots an hour. |
They will look like big destroyerS and |
be nearly six times as large as the |
greatest torpedo craft, displacing 100 |
tons and having length of $50 feet. |
The mass of machinery necessary to |
drive them at express train speed will be |
covered by light armor, and each will |
carry eight long-range six-inch rifles. |
two three-inch anti-aircraft guns and |
four torpedo tubes. |
The most striking new feature of the |
ships will be the installation of cata- |
pult devices. which will permit the |
launching of hydroaeroplanes in any
weather Each scout will be fitted to |
carry four aircraft, to extend her range |
of observation.
