The twelve vessels, built between
1898 and 1901. represent a total ex-
penditure for bulls and machinery

The ships long ago outlved their
usefulness as combatant units in
fighting fleet, although when they were
built they were among the most for
midable war vessels afoat. All of them
were used during the war with Ger
many as training ships or coast de-
tense units. Slow of speed, with small
coal capacity, inferior ordnance equip
ment and insufficient protection
against present-day projectiles, the
ships, if kept in commission, would be
more of liability than an asset, in
the opinion of naval experts. They
are armed with old-type II and 13
inch guns in the main batteries and
eight-inch in the secondary defense.

Marine Drives Ball Through Post Of
flee Window in Fifteenth Inning,
Winning the Game.

Washington. Marines down in
Guam have the ball game and peanut
habit, just like all good Americans
back In the States. Only this time
they've started something new in the
national sport In a recent game be-
tween the Agana and Sumay marines,
running through Is innings, the last
four innings were played by the light of
a full moon rising over the palms
which border the plaza.
In a game played by moonlight al
most anything is likely to happen.
Manion Of Sumay started things for
his team when he mailed ball In the
post Office through hole in the screen
Of one of the windows. The Agana
fielder was unable to recover it with
out violating section H20 Of the local
postal regulations and the Sumay boys
walked home with the bacon.
