DR.. Luhman is inconsolable. The
committee on improvements that were
in charge of the re- building of the court
house planted trees on hallowed ground
and hence the grief of the doctor. For
years the croquet club of which he was
the most active member used the court
house square for their game, ana now
the grounds have been made unfit for
the pleasant pastime. Not only that
but the committee have declared that
henceforth croquet players will be con.
sidered trespassers and will be punish.
ed accordingly The county board
should be petitioned for redress.

DreadnOught Under Construction to

As, when her keel was laid at New
port News, Va, April "a, 1917, is to
ing to information given out at the
Navy Department today.
The new vessel, to be the first Of
her class launched, is now about 40
per cent. completed. Her sister ships
will be the battieships West Virginia,
Colorado and Washington. All were
provided for in the early carrying
out of the so-called three-year build
ing plan of the Navy. They will,
when f1oated be the first American
naval vessels to carry armament as
heavy as Is inch guns. Each will
be equipped with a main battery OF
eight of these monster cannons in
addition to secondary batteries of %
five-inch guns. They will also be
provided with offensive and defensive
armament consisting of anti aircraft
guns and submerged torpedo tubes
forward.
The Maryland and other craft Of
her class are officially listed as sin

displacement Of $4,000 tons. The
closest approach to them in general
dimensions and armament are the
battleships Mississippi, Idaho, Cali
fornia and Tennessee, which carry
14-inch guns in their main batteries.
Other figures in connection with
the vessel and her sister ships are:
Ultimate cost, approximately, SIG,

shooting, but the Maryland also will
be able to overtake anything which
tries to run away from her. Oil
burning turbine engines of the cleo
tric-reduction gear propulsion type
