NEW EMPHASIZES FOR U. s. TO BE
 THE BIGGEST YET

Washington, May If the plans of the General Board are foIIowe l out the new battleships to be au- thorized st this session of Congress will be. the largest and most powerful afloat and will be equipped with the biggest calibre armament. Tentative, plans drawn for their construction by the naval authorities put their dis placement at 36,0OO tons and their armament ten 16 inch guns
 The recommendation for ten 16 inch rifles comes direct from the General Board and has the indorse- ment of many ordinance officers, aI- though there is a, difference of opin- ion in naval circles as to whether 16 inch or 14 inch guns should pre- vail. The same arguments caused a division of opinion among naval au- thorities when it was proposed to use T. inch instead of 12 inch guns.
 The tentative plans for battleships battle cruiserst destroyers, subma- rines, gunboats, a hospital ship and a fuel ship have been drawn in antici- patton of the authorization of these various type sof vessels.
 Secretary of the Navy Daniels said today that the most interest was cen tered in the battleships and battle cruisers, with expert opinion abobt equally divided as to which oft these taypes would be of the greatest value
 
 Detailed plans for the battle cruis- CTS have not yet been completed at the Navy Department, it was explain ed, as the design for these ships is entirely fnew in the United States navy 1t is already calculated, how ever, that the speed for these vessels must not be under thirty-five knots. a It is believed at the Navy Depart nent that Congress will be disposed toward the smaller type of coastal submarine in preference to the fleet type. The theory followed by the supporters of this view is that it is better to await the results of the trial of the SchIey and the two sister ships before auth orizing any more fleet sub marines of the largest gdisplacemen
 The characteristics of the new de- stroyers included in the 1917 program probably will be about the same in appearance as the destroyers design ed last year with some minor inn provements and a slight increase in speed.
 Tl4e designs for the gunboats con template a vessel of the improved Sacramento type, which has given much satisfaction and which seems in its 1, ,425< tons displacement to well serve the purposes of the navy for this type of craft The fuel ship will be, probably a duplicate of the Kama wha- The hospital ship will be de- signed after recommendations sub mitted by the bureau of medicine and surgery and will have the most ad vanced facilities for caring for the sick and wounded.

Southern Methodists

The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was organized at conference in Louisville seventy-one years ago to- day as a result of the slavery agitation which had divided the Wesleyans of the northern and southern states. The slavery issue had been taken up by the Meth odists as early as 178O, and at a conference in Baltimore that year it was resolved that all preach CTS owning slaves must set them free. and urging laynnen to do likewise. Just a. century ago, in 1916, the Methodist general conference passed an act that no sIave-holder could hold any office in the church, except in those states where the laws did not permit eman- cipation The agitation grew more serious with the passing of the years, and in 1844 the general conference was largely occupied with the ques- ton. As a result the thirteen an nuaI conferences in slave holding states decided that it was necessary to unite in distinct ecclesiastical connecticut Tn May, 1s45, delegates from all the southern states met in Louisville and launched the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, South. AL though more than half a. century has passed since the close of the war, the Methodists of North and South are still divided, the southern church hay ing a membership of over 2,OoO,- 900.

Duke of Connaught {,
 Sixty-six Today

H R. H. Prince Arthur William Patrick Albert, the Duke of Con nau ght, will pass his sixty-sixth mile stone today-having been born at Buck ingham Palace on May 1, 1850- Al ways one of the most popular mem Duke has added to his reputation by his long and successful adIninistra- ton as Governor-Ge of Canada. The birthday of the Duke recalls the fact that he was the unconscious means of conferring a great blessing upon wonankind. Prior to his birth on May 1, 1850, the use of anaesth etics In the one or two instances in, which chIor oform had been used in Great Britain to ease the pains of women about to become mothe hers a terrific public c1amor had been raised. The clergy fairly raved and frothed at the mouth. and the Humanitarian physi- clans were held up to oib1oquy as the agents of, the devil. Curses were called down upon the heads of the nobel pioneers of science. In pull pits throughout the land the Bible was quoted to prove that God had con- demned women to intense suffering because of the appIe-eating exploit of Eve. A few brave physicians, jour nalists and stinf1dels'' defended the practice, but they were howIed down. God was painted as a Shylock who demanded his full measure of fenin- inc agony. Fortunately there was a Queen, and a wise one, on Britain s throne. When the time approached for the birth of the child who is now the Duke of Connaught, the Queen informed the royal physicians that it was her will that chIoroform be ad- rninistered. The effect was instan- taneous. God. as represented by his British spokesfnen immediately chang ed His mind about the desirability of the practice which the clergy had so bitterly condemned. The voices of bigotry. and fanaticism were stilled

The unorganized militia consists

The legislation as thus proposed
was unobjectionable. 1t used the
word called" which was entirely
consistent with securing the desired
recruits by volunteering. The bill
went to the senate, was amended,
came back to the house and went to
a conference" committee. In the
secrecy of the committee room the
word called" was stricken out and
the word drafted" was substituted,
but when the conference report was
made to the house no word Of the
change was mentioned in the report.
When confronted with the facts by
Huddleston, Rep. Hay admitted the
charge, but excused it by saying:
what is the difference between the,
president being authorized to call
men out and to draft them? There
is no difference, so far as the presi-
dent is concerned"
This statement by Hay is very re-
markable in view of another state:

ject on March %. The difference
between the words "ca1" and
draft came up at that time when
Rep. Miller of Minnesota asked that
some other word than draft" be
used in authorizing the president to
bring the militia into the federal
