ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN BATTLtSnlP
CALIFORNIA LAUNCHED AT VALLEJO

turned into the mighty Graf. that
was launched today.
In commission, the California will
have a crew of 1922 men and SIS
officers, full complement. She has
a length over all of 624 feet, a
breadth Of 96 feet and a depth of
47.2 feet. Her displacement at her
mean draught of 3O.5 feet would be
80, 1000 tons. She has an estimated
speed of 81 knots an hour and a
normal fuel capacity of 1900 tons.
1t is estimated that she is fully
80 per cent better protected than
any other vessel in the United States
navy, not excluding the New Mex
leo.
Her great turbines of $4,000 horse
power are the principal unit of the
CALIFORNIA; electric system. The
guns will be fired by electricity.
Her ventilation, steering, supplying
of power to the drive shaft, launder-
ing. printing, ice cream freezing,
cake making and dishwashing all
will be electrically operated. AL
though this has, brought her total
cost to something in excess of $751;
100000, a saving in fuel is ex-
pected quickly to offset this cost.
Her hull alone cost $7,S00,0O0. !,
In armament the California; will
rank high. Besides her IL 14-inch
guns. she will carry four submerged
torpedo tubes. 25 two-inch rapid
fire guns, four six Founders, two
one Founders, four three-inch anti
aircraft guns. one three-inch landing
gun, and two 30-caliber machine
guns. She will be a fitting example
of the last word" in battleship de-
signing and fitting, and, will be the
first ship of her class to be turned
out in a Pacific coast shipyard.
The award for the California was
made at the same time the Tonnes
see was contracted for. The Ten
nessee, built in an eastern ship
yard. was to be a sister ship of the
California, but she was launched
before many of the improvements
going into the California were re-
duced to the efficiency that they
hold today.

MONTENEGRO /
FEELING RUNS HIGH BETWEEN
REPUBLICANS AND ROYAL
IST PARTIES
cETTINJE, Montenegro, Nov. 20.

CETTINJE, Montenegro, Nov. 20.
While the allied statesmen at
Paris are celebrating on the fate
of the nations of Europe, Monte
negro continues it's centurN-long
customs OF feuds, vendettas, shoot
ing trays and internal strife, and
seems outwardly to give little at
tention to the fate reserved for 1t by
the great powers.
There is a semblance of a local
government, but Serbia exercises a
preponderating influence in the af-
fairs of the country.
There is a faction of the people
which desires a return of King Mich
olas. and the restoration of the mon
archy. There is constant strife be-
tween the royalists and the repub-
leans, the disorders usually taking
the form of fatal shooting COM
bats in the mountains. Feeling runs
high. The republicans accuse the
monarchists of hiring members of
the C%omitadje, desperate mountain
GERS who respect neither law nor
life, to kill the leaders of their
party. These shooting and stab
bling affairs usually take place in
sections where the royalists are the
strongest. The casualties some
times are serious. Not a day goes
by but the American doctors at
tached to the Red Cross mission at
Cettinje, Podgoritza and Kolacoin
are not called upon to treat victims
of these encounters. At P~odgoritza
there have been as high as 20
wounded comitadjes at the Red
Cross hospital at one time.
There also are occasional border
fights between the Montenesrins
and the Italians and Albanians. The
feeling between these races is ex-
tremely violent. When the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent was pass
ing through the small frontier town
of Plavnita, at the head of Lake
Scutari, there was a massed COM
pany of 20. Montenegrins preparing
to attack an Italian garrison on the
opposite side of the lake. Many of
these Montenegrins, who were
poorly clothed and equipped, were
mere boys of 16 and II. Some of
the older soldiers had been to the
United States and boosted American
citizenship. All professed a desire
to give up fighting and return to
America. The attack on the Italians

VALLEJO, Nov. 2O.-The third
Observation-Disclosures superdreadnought
was added to the United States navy
afloat today when the California was
launched at the Mare Island navy
yard here.
In the use of electricity as a
means of propulsion, the new fight
ing ship follows the example set in
the building of the New Mexico and
Tennessee.
The California Is expected to cost
more than 5000, 900 and will
carry IL 14-inch guns. Besides be-
ing electrically driven. the new war
ship will be electrically operated
from her guns to her potato peeling
machine.
AS the great craft slid into the
water she was cheered by Governor
William d. Stephens of California,
his daughter, Mrs. Randolph T.
Zane, who sponsored the wal vessel
and thousands of spectators. While
her berth was still warm the keel of
a great companion su%perdread-
nought, the Montana, was laid with
in it.
Designed by master minds sharp
ened by the urge of war, the Cali
fornia represents the ultimate in
fighting fitness. Bulked alongside
the fretwork of the ways where she
had been pulled by tugs after the
launching, the great vessel showed
herself to be the embattled float
ing city that she is. All that has
been learned in the war in regard to
the fitting up of dreadnoughts has
been put in this latest addition to
the American navy.
The California's keel was laid
October 16, 1916, but during the
war the men who fabricated her
turned their tools to knocking to-
gether of other and smaller war;
craft designed to fight the subma-
rine. For two years not a rivet
was driven but upon the signing of
the armistice the great hull again
swarmed, clanked and rang with life
and it was heated, beaten and

ST. PIERRE, Martinique, Nov.
20.-The manufacture and sale of
rum brought unusual prosperity to
the little island of Martinique during
the Hidden away among the
West Indies this little French colony
of 100000 people, so small that it
is found with difficulty on most
maps of the world, sent its sons
overseas to fight for the motherland
while the folks at home prospered
by raising sugar, coffee, cocoa and
manufacturing rum.
This took place, too, during a
period when prohibition was sweep
ing over America.
Not only did the exports Of this
beverage increase from approx
mately 4.090,900 gallons in 1913.
to 5,S62,5O0 gallons in 1917, a gain
of more than 40 per cent, but the
value of the exports increased from
approximately $2,3S5,O0O in 1918,
to s9.933.O0O in 1917, a gain or
about S15 per cent.
Exports of sugar. however, de-
creased from 39,0S9 tons in 1919
to 20,478 tons in 1917. The pro-
duction of sugar cane was increased
during the same period but the
islanders found 1t more profitable to
use the product in the manufacture
of rum than to export it. From
1914 to 1917 imports of molasses
used in the manufacture of rum, in
creased from 1857 tons to S475
tons.
