How are the United States battle
ships, eunboats, all boats of the navy,
named?
Battleships are named after states.
Armored cruisers were formerly named
after states. but now are gradually be-
ing changed from the names of states
to the names of cities. For example,
the California has become the San Di-
ego. The newer ones have been given
the names of cities to begin with. Pro
tected cruisers and scout cruisers also
are named after cities. Destroyers and
torpedo boats are named after distin-
guished naval officers

Was there any regular army in Wash
ington's day? If not, when does it date
fron2
There was no regular army as we
now use the phrase till long after
Washington day. Washington had no
military education. His first military
office was as lieutenant colonel of
colonial militia. and his irst duty was
in an expedition against the French in
the vicinity of Pittsburgh. AS a prac-
teal surveyor and accomplished woods
man he had good start as a military
leader, but his military skill all came
from intuition and practical experience.
The Revolutionary war left a consider
able body Of trained soldiers, belonging
to the militia of the different colonies,
many OF whom took part in the Indian
and border wars that followed, but
they were not regulars. The regular
army by that name was established by
congress at its first session in 1889, but
the Military academy at West Point
was not established till 1902. There
were some able officers in the army be-
fore the establishment of the West
Point academy, but, strictly speaking,
the regular army of today dates from
that event

erintendent of the Swansea railroad re- lated only to the arrangements about the voting place. He himself had reg istered at Bouse but had voted at Swansea on his certificate.
 Foster w. Byers was another witness. He had come from San Bernardino, Cal. about four months before the election but he did not go to Swansea until Oc- tober 27 less than two weeks before the election. He had registered in Califor- mia, but Dr. Tolleson had told him that he could vote for president and he did so He was taken to the polls by the election marshal, Randy. Asked re- garding drunkenness about the polls he said that his attention had been called said that his attention had not been particularly attracted by it, but upon further pressing, he stated drunkenness was so common that one had become somewhat hardened to it and did not take a great deal of notice of it. He said that he had seen some drunken ness about the polls. On cross eXami- nation he exonearted the members of the election board. Speaking of the T atjnr character of the population of Swansea, MT. Byers said it was a ten day camp" ten days being long enough to acquire stake
 The most interesting witness of the day was Mrs R. A. Harrer of this city. At the time of the election she and her husband lived at Swansea and both voted there though they had registered in Phoenix. She had voted on her reg istration certificate. MT. Harrer said that she had marked her ballot in one of the so-called booths and that as she was leaving it she met Election Mar shal Bandv bringing in a man who was so drunk that she said he needed help to walk. The marshal said to him, I'll: show you how to vote.' In the opinion of the witness the man needed assistance.
 Mrs. Harrer was a genuinely reluc- tant witness and replying to question she said, T have been an ardent sup porter of Governor Hunt" She was asked regarding a conversation she had had with a member of the election board. She turned to the court and in- quired whether she would be required to repeat it. The court directed her to proceed and she said she had told the member, T voted for AIr Hunt and my husband for MT Campbell

Arrangements are being made for him to see members of the press Wednesday, General Bridges will be interviewed tomorrow and Lord Cunliffe on Thursday.
 Tonight's dinner at the White House was the climax of an eventful day.
 Mir Balfour, British Ambassador Spring Rice and all the ranking mem bers of the British commission were in vited to meet the President and Mrs. Wilson, the members of the cabinet, Chief Justice White, the advisory com mission of the council of national de- fense, Secretary Humility and Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, cousin of the president At the same time other members of the commission were be- ing entertained at dinner at the Six teenth street mansion occupied by Mir. Balfour's immediate party
 The White House dinner was a sim pie affair and there were no toasts or speeches. It was served in the state dining room, and the only table deco rations were spring flowers. There was no music. The only women present were Mrs. Wilson and Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, the presidents cousin.
 After dinner members of the British mission who had not been present ar rived for an informal reception. and for more than an hour the American and British officials remained talking and smoking.
 MT. Balfour was placed at the table between Mrs. Wilson and Secretary Daniels, and the president had al either hand Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador, and Lord Cunliffe

ballot box She was insistent that she had not turned it over to an election officer to deposit so that a mystery re- mains regarding the manner in which the stub was preserved. The suggeS- tiOn has been made, though nothing was brought out regarding it in the in vestigation, that the board instead Of following the prescribed custom had torn off the stubs before handing the 1 ballots to voters.
 On cross examination Mr Struck meyer sought to show that the election marshal in bringing the drunken man in had brought him only to the door of the back room and had shown him where the so-called booths were The witness appeared to be in sympathy with the purpose of MT. Struckmeyer, but Judge Sloan questioning her further she said that the marshal had entered the room with the drunken man and that he did not say I'll show where the booth is but said, I'll show you how to vote
 The other witnesses were w. L. Car penter of Tempe then a resident of Swansea and N. A. Newton, superin- tendent of the mine at Planet. The teS- stimony of the former was a corrobora- tion in all essential details of the evil dence of Diehl and Hanna. MT. New ton said he had taken several men from Planet to Swansea to vote and that two of them were quite drunk when they left Planet.
 The rest of the afternoon was given to going over the ballots of this pre- cinct This morning Keohan Ranch precinct will be taken up. Also today dispositions will be taken in Eager pre- cinct. Apache county by Hon. E. $. Clark for the contestee and MT. Ives for the contestant.

been held against desperate counter as s4ults
 The Germans always managed to cling to the slopes on either side of the hin on which MOnchy- le-P PreuX is perched. this being the highest point east of Arras and Vimy, overlooking the great broad eastern plains of north eru France. The Germans today were undoubtedly throwing their full force into their resistance along the Carpe They had brought up strong reserves To oppose a further British advance and had thrown in scores of new bat teries of artillery
 The fighting about Geumappe, due south of AIonchy, was extremely bitter The attacking British waves went over' in the half gray light of dawn II still was dark enough to make a fiery spectacle of the barrage which crept ahead of them-a veritable wall of exploding shells. Men who have been oyer several times under the protection If barrage are apt to grow over con- fident in following the shells and oc- casionallv get hit by bits flying back, although virtually every shell clearing tne way for the infantry bursts for ward with a great spray of shrapnel bullets. A modern barrage is terri flying thing to face, and the Germans iHvoluntarily break before it.
 Today in many parts of the battle fronts there were no more dugouts to use as shelters and the Germans had to stand and fight. with the result that their casualties were higher and the prisoners fewer in those sections of the line.
 The British advanced in nearly every instance from mere half trenches where they had been lying for the last week. The Germans opposite them had been digging at every possible opportunity but they, too, were unable to construct more than sections of an uncOnnected trench, with machine guns concealed in every possible nook and corner. In the villages which skirted the battle front it seemed as if every building contained machine gun crews. Many machine guns were fired on the Op- posite bank of the river Scarpe and it

eighteen hours of general debate to be followed by five-mlnute talks.
 In opening the senate debate Sen ator Weeks said the people demand conscriptior or would demand it if they were correctly informed.
 When the house began debate no limit was fixed but it was agreed that it should run or today until $ o'clock.
 Chairman Dent Of the military com mittee, who favOrs a call for volun- teers while the conscription registra- tion machinery is being made ready opened the debate
 Dent explained that the bill as amended by the committee gives au- thority to raise an army of virtually 100000 men and safeguards the American birthright to volunteer for service in defense of the country"
 The president, he said, is still au- thGrized to proceed with arrange ments for the selective draft and has ' absolute authority to determine on which system the army would be ! raised.
 Representative Lunn, democrat and former socialist mayor of Schnectady, urged consCriptiOn, declaring that in 1 voting to give the president all the ! power and resources of the country | for carrying out the war he and 1 others took that action literally and i without equiYocation.
