STRICKEN FROM ROSTER
AS REAL FIGHTING UNITS
Battleships Alabama, Ohio and Geor.
gia Probably to Become Train
ing Vessels.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. March s.-The
battleships Alabama, Ohio and Georgia
are to be stricken from the navy roster
as real fighting units, and probably
will end their days as training ships
for the naval reserve. This was the as
sertion made today by several officers
Of the Philadelphia navy yard.
One of the officers asserted that the
battleships. despite their excellent
condition. are obsolete and serve no
purpose other than to retard the
progress and impair the efficiency of
first line ships.
Whereabouts of Vessels.
The Alabama flagship of the reserve
fleet. and the Ohio are at the Philadel-
phia yard. The Georgia is now on her
way to the local yard to join the re-
serve fleet.
The Alabama was laid down twenty
years ago. and is a 12.o00-ton ship. The
Ohio and Georgia, built few years
later, are virtually the same size and
carry similar ornaments.
"A battleship." said the officer, must
perform the duties of battleship.
None Of the old ships would be able to
stand UP against the newer ships

Could Keep Out of Range.

For instance, a ship like the Penn
sylvania could sink the three battle
ships in less than a hall hour, and
sustain no damage. because the new
craft would be able to keep out of the
range of the old battleships. They
have had their day, and, while they ap-
the number of battleships, they would
be Of little service In an engagement
with any of the first-class naval pow

SETTING THE PACE.

Referring to the popular belief that
the metropolitan centers are citadels
Of corruption upon which no impress
sion can be made, the Union Signal
says that this "big city bugaboo" is
now losing it's terrors. 1t points to
New York's board of health, to Chi
cago's Sunday closing, to Philadel-
phia's stand against the use Of alco-
holic drinks by it's city employees, and
remarks that the public will look ex-
pectantly to Boston, st. Louis and
Baltimore for some spectacular move
ment which will excel the reforms Of
the other three. Meanwhile" it says,
"in the great cities of the Pacific
coast, Seattle and Portland, and in the
municipalities of the middle West,
Denver and Des Moines, prohibition
is not only demonstrating it's success
as a panacea for civic ills, but has
reached a stage of popularity where
the men who wrote and Grated against
it few months ago, are now eloquent
ly insisting that from time immemo-
rial they have been its ardent and
self-sacrificing advocates"

DESTRUCTIVE IMPLEMENTS.

Some manufacturer of booze tools
for the home is turning out cocktail
shakers made in "exact facsimile" Of
the shrapnel shell cases Europe uses.
These trig implements of destruc-
ton are shown in one of New York's
Fifth avenue shop windows as an at
tractive novelty" for shoppers. The
people who thought of adapting shell
cases to booze have grasped a pro-
found symbolism. The cocktail is about
as deadly an explosive as the shrapnel,
only its time fuse is rather long. We
hardly expected the liquor folks to ad-
vertise this resemblance.-Collier's

EXPECT BETTER TIMES.

There have been many dire predic-
tions regarding the disaster that is to
follow the departure of the saloon in
wet territory in this state, but gener-
ally speaking no delusions are held
along this line by the more prominent
business men of Idaho" says the Boise
News. while they look for tempo
rary depression prior to the readjust-
ment, they expect afterwards impetus
in business conditions and even better
times than before the saloon became
extinct. The fact that much of Idaho
has been dry for years and business
conditions in the dry territory have
even been better in some instances
than in the wet territory leads many
business men to belle se that the sa-
loon is not so paramc - factor and
that with a readjustment the lost rev.
enue from it will not be missed"

In the insanity hospital in connec-

medical association of Russia, has
heartily Endorsed prohibition, declar-
ing that "a whole mass of facts allow
us to believe that prohibition has de-
creased sickness Especially venereal
and mental, lessened fires, suicides,
crime, accidents and increased mate
rial and industrial prosperity"
There is a general feeling through
out Russia that it is lowing to the

A FINANCIAL Benefit.

West Virginia saved $67,5O0 last
Christmas time through a decrease in
murders. Mr.. Sim Irion, secretary of
the Charleston Business Mems asso-
citation, cites statistics showing that
for 33 years there has been an aver
age of IL murders in the state during
the Christmas holidays, all of them
traceable either directly or indirectly
to whisky and it's evil influences. This
Christmas there were only two MUIR
ders as a result of drinking. The
average murder trial in West Virginia,
it is stated, costs $4,000. Seventeen
murder trials therefore cost the state
$76,5O0. Two cost about $4,000, a saw
ing of approximately $67,5O0.
