 English Promier Says.

Dundee. June 3o.--'.We have driy- en the great army of Germany under ground" said Premier Lloyd George in . speech here today. When . great army is driven to these tactics it is the beginning of the end. 1t means that we are pounding sense of in- feriority into every pore of the Ger man military mind. tt S..s
 Tt is good for the war, Is even better for after the war. As long as the Prussians have an idea of superi- ority in their minds Europe will not be q decent place for people to live in in peace. It will be easier after this. <, <,
 The Prussian. said Lloyd George, has many virtues, but a sense of hu- mility has never besn among them. The premier added that the PruSsian is now being taught the virtue of humility with . fierce and relentless lash. Lloyd George said that if necessary. the government would resort to the exchequer in order that the price Of bread should be within the compass of the bulk of the people.

 Fort Is coo Feet Long and Weishs s 5000 Tons.-speed 2l KnoAs

Camden. N. T.. Juno 30.-Another monstAr lighting machine for the navy took the water here today from the yards of the New York Shipbuild- dng company when the superdread- nought Idaho, sister ship to the Penn
 yivania, flagship of the Atlantic deet, was successfully launched. Henriet- ta Aurelia Simmons. granddaughter of Governor Alexander of Idaho, was sponsor for the big ship and because of the war conditions the general public was not admitted to the cere- mony which was witnessed by a shall group of navy, congressional and company officials.
 She will carry round dozen H. inch 50 calibre rifles, mounted in triok In four turrets, two forward and two aft She will be a duplicate of the Fennsylvania and of the Mississippi Cleared turbine engines will furnish tho 33.000 horse power necessary to hurl her 500 feet of length and 33,000 tons of bulk through the water at a rate of more than 21 knots: but this class will be the last of ten battle- ships to be equipped with that type Of propelling machinery, future ships to have the turbo-electric drive.
 There are no secrets about the Idaho's construction, except modinca- tons made after her hull had been laid to give her greater security against submarine attack. Navy de- signers believe the vessel will be a hard problem for "a submarine and she cannot be sunk with a single tor pedo.
 AnG1 U-Boat and Aircraft Guns.
 There will be 22 five-inch 51 cali bre rifles swung along the Idaho's aides as her protection against tor pedo craft. four half-inch anti-air- craft guns of the long range type re- cently designed by the bureau of ord- nance will make 1t dangerous for hos tile airplanes or Zeppelins which seek to approach. Her great battery of powerful searchlights will turn night into day when the ship has need to use her armament after dark. Below the water line two 21-inch torpedo tubes supplement the terrific broad side weight of the ships guns.
 Like the Pennsylvania, the Idaho will need 26 senior. 16 junior and 10 warrant officers; 10 chief petty ofil- COTS and more han 800 men as her fighting complement. She will carry 70 marines and be fitted with quar- tors for an admiral and his staff in addition to the regular officers quar- tors, 50 that she can carry the flag of the commander in chief. of the fleet If necessary.
 The Idaho. Mississippi. California, New Mexico. Arizona, Pennsylvania and Tennessee will be the last Ameri- can battlecraft to carry twelve 14- inch rifles in their main batteries. They will complete g wing of seven gigantic vessels with this armament and next from the ways will come the West Virginia, Wash irgton, Maryland, and Colorado. carrying eight 16-inch rifles. Behind these win come the new class of 42.- 900 tonners. i've of which have al- ready been authorised which will carry twelve 16-inch rifles,
