At the Newport plant it is estl- mated that the battleship Mississippi, recently launched, can be completed by midsummer instead of January l., 1918, as called for in the contract. The keel of one of the four new bat tleships recently contracted for will be laid on the slip vacated by the Mississippi instead of merchant yes sel as had been intended.
 Representatives of the Fore River and Electric Boat company called on, MT. Daniels today, offering to rush work on destroyers and submarines for which they contracted, setting aside other private work to that end. They were told to go ahead at full speed. The plan is to get the vessels launched as soon as possible, freeing stocks for the new set of destroy CTS and submarines to be authorized in the pending navy bill.
 Warlike preparations now virtually are completed at the navy department.
 Mir. Wilson called again today on both Secretary Baker and Secretary Daniels in their office. Neither Secretary would say what matters had been discussed. It

 We are just waiting for the word to go,' is the way one official expressed it, speaking of the speeding up of military preparedness measures contemplated.
 Offers of plants of all kinds and per- soral offers of the owners have been made. To the war department many of the larger units in the clothing industry have offered their services Plants that have never sought this work nor made a military uniform have been placed at the disposal of the department The efficient organizations of these companies insure great speed in supplying uniforms and other clothing. should they be needed. There are few munition makers who have not come forward either those regu- larly in the business or those who turned to making shells and other war material on European orders at the outbreak of the great war. A plan for co-ordinatins all such plants already exists, and they could be turned to government work with out serious delay.

Ithe launching of the lifeboats.
 The news of the sinking of the Cali fornia reached London yesterday aft ernoon before the survivors had yet arrived on land, but publication was not permitted till more than 24 hours later
 The California was an armed liner, carrying single AT gun mounted on the stern The gunner was just training the weapon on the spot where oil bubbles had revealed the presence of the underwater enemy when tor pedo struck the port side with an ex- plosion so violent that most of the people aboard were thrown off their feet, five being killed and score in- jured.
 FIRED SECOND SHOT
 The submarine fired a second torpedo, in an apparent effort to accelerate the sinking, but the second shot missed, al- though both torpedoes were fired from distance of less than 300 yards
 There was only one American aboard the California, and he is among the survivors.
 Captain Henderson, commander of tho California. declares that the conduct of the passengers and crew was exemplary. There had been careful drills on the ship on the way across, and every person aboard had been assigned place in lifeboat, and provided with a life belt. But. despite the coolness of tho passen- gers and seamanship of the crew, the sllc- cessful launching of the boats was made impossible by the shortness of time be- tween the torpedoing of the vessel and her disappearance beneath the waves. which did not permit waiting until the ship had lost headway.
 TERRIBLE ROAR
 While the boats were being lowered from the sloping decks. the California continued to move forward, lurching like drunken man and the roar of the water rushing through the gaping wound in her side could be heard above the shouts Of officers and men. In number of cases it was necessary for the passengers to
