 SPEECH BAKED
 BY NEWSPAPERS
Radical Papers Question Much of the Dicta
 Contained.

London, June 30-The speech yes- speech is printed today in another part of the Farmer) in which he said the war will come to an end when the Allied armies have reached the aims which they set out to obtain when they accepted the challenge thrown down by Germany, although mainly approved by the morning newspapers does not escape criticism. The mod crate papers comment consists of lit tie more than accordant paraphrases of the premier's statement, but the more extreme press of opposite camps radical and tory-Questions some of his dicta. Thus some conservative papers strongly dissent from his as- sumption that any difference of opin- ion exists between the German gov- ernment and the German people and full to their government because it accurately mirrors the spirit of Ger smanisn.
 The Post says the Germans all are in this war up to the neck and if the premier thinks any change in the gov ernment would alter their spirit he knows nothing of. the German peo- pie. The Post contends that the idea that Germany is driven to war by tyrannical government and is groaning for liberation from the Ho- henzollern yoke is pure fancy.
 Referring to the difficulties of Rus sia from anarchical elements, secretly subsidized by Germany, the Post com plains that the British government Is showing indulgence and timidity to- ward secret enemies at home, allow ing, the formation of revolutionary committees to organize disaffection and says this disaffection has been allowed to win a victory in Ireland.
 At the other extreme the radical Daily News finds the speech falls short of expectations and Iaments the lack of definiteness in declaring wal aims.

IDAHO, MONSTER
 DREADNAUCHT, TAKES THE WATER
Will Garry 70 Marines and Fighting Complement of
 Over 800.

Camden, N. J.. Juno S0.-Another monster fighting machine for the navy took the water here today from the yards of the New York Ship Building Co. when the superdreadnaught Idaho, sister ship to the Pennsylvania, flag ship of the Atlantic fleet, was success fully launched. Henrietta Henrietta Aurelia Simmons, granddaughter of Gov. Alexander of Idaho, was sponsor Tor the big ship, a.nd because of war conditions the general public was not admitted to the ceremony, which was witnessed by small group of navy, congressional and company officials.
 In size, armament, equipment, speed and all but minor differences, the Idaho will be a duplicate of the Pennsylvania and of the Mississippi. Cleared turbine engines will furnish the 32,000 horse power necessary to hurl her 600 feet of length and 33,- 900 tons of bulk through the water at rate of more than 21 knots an hour: but this class will be the last Ameri- can battleships to be equipped with that type of propelling machinery fr1- ture ships to have the turbo-electric drive.
 There are no secrets about the Idaho's construction, except mlodifca- tions 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 that she cannot be sunk with a sim gle torpedo.
 There will be many heavy rifles swung along the Idaho's sides sas her protection against torpedo craft, anti aircraft guns of the long range type recently designed by the bureau o1 ordnance will make it dangerous for hostile aeroplanes or zeppelins thai seek to approach. Her great battery of powerful searchlights will turr night into day when the ship has need to use her armament after dark Be. low the water line torpedo tubes sup plement the terrific, broadside weight of the ships guns.
 Like the Pennsylvania. the Idaho will need 26 senior. 16 junior and 10 warrant officers; 40 chief petty officers and more than 800 men as her fight ing complement. She will barry TO marines and be fitted with quarters for an admiral and his staf in addi- ton to the regular officers quarters
 so that she can carry the flag of the
 commander-in-chief of the feet ii necessary.
 The Idaho, Mississippi, California.
 New Mexico, Arizona, Pennsy1vania and Tennessee will be the last Ameri- can battle craft to carry 12 14-inch rifles in their main batteries. They will complete a wing of seven gigantic vessels with this armament and hexi from the ways will come the West Virginia, Washington, Maryland and Colorado. carrying eight 16-inch rifles Behind these will come the new class
 of 42,000 tonners, five of. which have already been authorized, which will
 carry 12 l6-inch rifles.
