new TENNESSEE
LARGEST ship
NOW AFLOAT

NEW YORK, May 6.-First in size
Rnaapg the great fighting units of the
gnited states navy, first IN speed and
drst in size and range of guns, is the
sRper -dreadnaught Tennessee, which
vas launched last Wednesday from the
Brooklyn Navy Yard ways. Reputed to
have new stuff the Tennessee has
become known among ''old salts" and
gold d-braiders'' as a mystery ship.
And the evil of mystery will not be
lifted until after the official trials are
s0mpleted
Twelve 16-inch guns, each capable
sg firing a projectile Is miles with a
Eair degree of accuracy, is the claim
ses for for the Tennessee's main bat
sery by a naval officer. He says:
"A mile an inch! Sixteen inches in
each 6aming rife! No other ship in
che world has the Furnishing power of
this strength. If it were possible to
use higher elevation than is the case
IN naval firing it is difficult to say how
far the shells would carry with GER
aainty.''
As though to carry out justification
OF the term mystery ship the officer
Bdds. THE new ship may have some
asyice to add range elevation which
might add to the 16 miles the guns
viii be able to carry"
The sister ships of the Tennessee,
she New Mexico and Idaho. have IA
inch guns, as also has the flagship
Pennsylvania. The Tennessee is 624
feet long, has a breadth of 81 feet 5
inches and mean draft of 80 feet.
Her estimated displacement is 32,984
tons This ship exceeds the Pennsyl-
vania in length by "a feet and in beam
IL inches. The displacement of the
Pennsylvania is 31,400 tons. The New
Mexico has length of 600 feet and a
displacement of $4,000 tons.
In regard to the speed of the new
ship the naval officer continues: THE
Jtah and the Florida have speed es-
Inmates of % knots an hour. The es-
tiElated speed of the Tennessee on
paper is q knots an hour. But take a
tip from me, this boat will make "a
knots an hour easily, which will shat
ter records for craft Of this type"
The Tennessee's furniture is of
metal Upward of one hundred tele-
phones are being installed. According
60 naval officers, the radio equip

ors; the call of the nations honor, and
the imperative call of its duty to the
rest OF the world.
An appeal has been sent out from
headquarters to the workers to put
their shoulder to the wheel during the
remaining days of the drive; to pull
together and push together and wind
up the campaign with huge over
subscription Some counties are lag
ging behind Most of the counties will
go owes To fail now would leave 8
blot On the record of the county which
does bot reach its auota That blot
would remain forever because there
will not be another chance to come
back"
The crownfng work of patriotism for
this district would be for the people
to make the Victory Loan the greatest
of ali loans-to put every county in
the district over the top. Then we could
take pride in the feeling that we had
FINISHED the course"
