JAPS ARE BUILDING
BIGGEST BATTLESHIP


Washington, Dec. S.-Japan is
building a larger, more powerful and
swifter battleship than any built or
planned for the American navy, Rear
Admiral Badger of the general board
today told the house naval committee,
explaining the boards recommended
ton for larger ships in the 1918 pro-
gram. The japanese ship, he said,
will have a main battery Of twelve 10
inch or 16-inch guns, against twelve
14-inch on American vessels now
building and eight 16-inch for ships
authorized last year.
The characteristics of battleships
proposed by the general board, Adj
miral Badger said, called for twelve
16-inch guns, a speed of twenty-three
knots an hour and a displacement of
10000 tons. The tendency abroad, he
said, was toward heavier, stronger,
faster ships and the navy must keep
abreast of that movement.
Admiral Badger and Rear Admiral
Fletcher, also attached to the general
board, agreed that speed in excess of
Twenty iii ct MINUS wac iiOl dboll elplN
at this time, as it would increase the
size of the ships without giving any
substantial added advantage
Members of the committee question
ed the two admirals as TO the value
of heavy armor for battleships in the
light of naval engagements of the
present war. The officers agreed that
an armored ship had the best chance
to survive and pointed out that the
British battleship Warsprite had faced
the fire of the German fleet in the
Jutland fight without being sent to
the bottom, as were lighter armored
ships.
Before the naval committee ad-
journed Admiral Badger was asked if
he did not think the interests Of the
Pacific coast would be better served
if the navy department, instead of
maintaining the armored cruiser fleet
there commissioned the reserve bat
tleships and kept them in Pacific wa
ters. The admiral said he favored it
personally, but added it was a ques-
ton for the department to decide.

The board recommended the con-
struction of four battleships and two
battle cruisers, while the secretary
held that three battleships and one

undertaken, in view of the tremendous
program contracted for this year.
In Line With Scott.
General Sharpe brought out the
fact that the army still is far behind
in recruiting for the 1917 increment
of the increase in strength already
authorized. His statement was in line
with that of Maj. Gen. Hugh l.. Scott,
chief of staff, in his annual report,
made public today General Scott de-
clared that universal military train
ing and service would be the only So
lution to the recruiting problem.
Secretary Bakers attitude on the
universal service question has not
been disclosed 1t was stated author
itatively today that the secretary had
read General SCOTS report before it
was published and authorized the full
est publication of the views of the
general staff, as they were stated, but
reserving his own judgment Mr.,
Bakers views probably will be drawn
out before the committee.
Universal service also came up at
the naval committee hearing, Admiral
Badger saying that this was the zone

st. Louis, Dec. S.-A shorter work
day is a religious necessity, according
to the Rev H. f. Ward, of this city
in his address before the federal coun-
ell of churches of Christ in America
today The Rev. Mr. Ward is head
of the social service department Of
the Methodist Episcopal church.
THE wage earners,' he said, care
generally demanding a shorter work
day. 1t is resisted by one part of the
population because it interferes with
profits. 1t is objected to by another
section because it disturbs their com
fort.
But for the workers, it means a
chance really to live. The man who
works seven days a week is denied the
Inspiration of religious fellowship. The
man who works twelve hours a day
is denied the uplifting influence of
home life. The man who works to a
point of fatigue, whether it be nine
hours or eight, has not the energy to
read and to think about the Great
problems Of life.
"The church declares that the
shorter work day is both the right Of
the worker and the necessity Of tho
community. No community can af-
ford to have a section of its popula-
ton denied the benefits Of home life,

Washington Dec. S.-Preliminary
work on the 1918 national defense
program moved forward today in both
the naval and military committees of
tbe house, with Rear Admirals Badger
and Fletcher of the navy's general
board before the former, and Quarter
master General Sharpe before the lat
ter.
The two admirals told of the boards
recommendation for an enormous in
crease in size and power and smaller
increase in speed for the battleships
to be provided for at this session of
congress.
Because of the tendency of Eu-
ropean navies to build even larger
ships and guns, and because there is
reason to believe that Japan already
has under construction a more power
full ship than has yet been planned for
the United States, Admiral Badger
said the board felt it necessary that
the American navy follow a similar
policy He said the board had rec
commended main batteries of twelve
l6-inch guns, an increase of so per
cent in gun power over 1917 ships,
and a speed of twenty three knots an
hour
Enormous in Size.

tary Daniels indicates that the recon-
mendations of the board will he APP

SEPTEMBER VEGETABLES

(By G. A. Keffer, Division of Exten,

Mature bulbs OF any variety of onion
planted in September will provide
salad onions during the winter. Among
the best kinds for this purpose are
Multiplyer, Potato and Yellow Danvers.
Long-standing spinach and German
'kale can be sown up to the middle OF
September.
Small quantities Of radish and let.
tuce should be sown with the other
vegetables, because they are only in an
edible condition for a short time. By
protection from frost, endive can be
used from the garden until late De-
cember
Kale and spinach will furnish greens
from the arden throughout the win
ter, except in the coolest parts of the
state.
Beets and carrots should be dug Just
before severe freezing weather and
stored by covering with straw and a
good layer of soil.
