and entrained for Kansas City, with
transportation paid by the state after

that need of men for the new ships was
the real one.
The addition OF three ships to the
navy this spring. therefore, results in
reducing the number of hattleships IN

zona is commissioned next fall IL will
probably be necessary to place other
vessels in reserve TO get complement
for hen.
The six batleships put ON the reserve
list are the Connecticut, Louisiana,
New Jersey, Virginia, Rhode Island and
Nebraska. All are of the second line,
or pre-dreadnought type.
Under the navy regulations vessels in
reserve are required TO be in readiness

however. no way of placing the six bat

Admiral Benson said that the SIN

40 per cent. militia. he added that they
