MARYLAND, BIGGEST
OF BATTLESHIPS, IS
GIVEN TO WATERS
(By Associated Press)

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March 90
The super-dreadnaught Maryland,
designed as the most powerful battle
ship in the world, was launched here
today with Mrs. E. Brooke Lee, wife
of the comptroller of the state OF
Maryland, as sponsor.
Secretary Daniels, Governor Richie
of Maryland, and a number of other
naval officials and state officers at
tended the launching, which was the
first public one held here since the
United States entered the war.
The Maryland is he first of four
ships of her class to be launched and
is one of the 10 superdreadnoughts
authorized in the first three-year build
ing program adopted in 1916. With a
length of 624 feet over all, a beam of
81 feet and full load displacement of
32,950 tons, she is the largest fighting
craft built for the American navy and
when commissioned will be one of
the most powerful battleships in the
world.
Carries 16 Inch Guns.
Originally designed to carry twelve
14-inch rifles, the plans for the ship
were so changed during the war that
she will have instead eight 16-inch
guns-the first of this size ever mount
ed on ship. They will be placed two
each in four turrets on the center line.
two forward and two aft. They will
be larger by one inch than the great
guns on the British ships of the Queen
Elizabeth class which were used in
the bombardment of the Dardenelles.
Battleships designed since the Mary
land was laid down, however, will be
even more powerful. They will carry
twelve 16-inch rifles and will measure
6s4 feet over all, with displacement
of 43.200 tons. Their speed will be
% knots as against the q knots of
the Maryland and practically all
previous classes of American dread
noughts.
The Maryland's keel was laid on
April "a, 1917, 1S days after the Unit
ed States declared war on Germany.

INsANEyICTIM OF WARS HORROR
John DOrr, Former Russian Soldier,
A Mental Wreck

Suffering from mental arrangement
thought to have resulted from hard
ship and privation as Russian pris-
oner of war captured by the Germans
in 1915, John Dorr, 81 years old,
Russian mine laborer, was taken to
Cumberland Monday evening from
Vindex, this county, and committed
to Sylvan Retreat.
The man was examined yesterday
by physicians of Cumberland and
commitment was issued pending the
decision of the Garrett county authori-
ties.
Dorr, who was recently brought to
Garrett county from New York state
to work at the mines, suffers from
religious mania, and was found liv-
ing like wild man in the woods near
the mining town of Vindex. He was
found kneeling in the snow praying
necessarily
Garrett county has no institution for
the care of the insane and patients
from this county are generally taken
to the Cumberland institution.
From what can be obtained from
questioning, Dorr was a Russian SOL
der and was prisoner of war in
Germany. He escaped after consider
able difficulty and made his way to the
United States.

ZIHLMAN ON WORK OF CONGRESS
Representative Would Limit Immigra-
tion and Fav0rs Abolition of Ex-
cess Profit Tax


Representative F. N. Zihlman. of
the Sixth Maryland district, has re.
turned to the capital and intends to
devote much of the time from now un-
til Congress convenes, December 6, to
the study of many important problems
to be considered by that body. He has
abandoned the trip planned for Pam
anna on an army transport.
In the judgement of Mr. Zihlman
four vital questions loom up before
the incoming Congress. They are f.
nances, taxation, immigration and for
eign relations. AS to the first prob.
lem Mr.. Zihlman says:
st win be necessary for the govern
ment to take such steps as will restore
and maintain the national credit. This
cannot be done until world securities
are put on sounder basis and foreign
exchange raised to high level.
THE question will undoubtedly re-
ceive the serious attention of the ex-
perts in Congress as the prosperity
of the nation and the rest of the
world depends to great extent upon
its sane resolution"
Mr.. Zihlman pointed out that "for
several years this country has been
enjoying false prosperity due to the
fact that. in financing the war we
were obliged to mortgage the future.
Now there must be a readjustment
and it will require much sane reason
ing and straight thinking to avoid a
crash"
Referring to the subject of taxation
Mr.. Zihlman declares:
IF during the present short session
we are unable to make the necessary
reduction in governmental expendi-
lures then this problem will go over
until the new Congress meets.
The excess profits tax must be abol-
ished and substitute found, if proper
economy will not enable the income
tax and other forms of excise to meet
expenditures. The country demands
the removal of the obnoxious and
petty taxes such as are now imposed
on luxuries, railroad, theatre tickets,
soda water checks, ETC."
Mr. Zihlman feels that Congress
should pass a more stringent immi-
grafton law. He says that the conf
missioner of immigration estimates
100000 immigrants awaiting pass
age to this country, many of them Of
the most undesirable type, among
their number being those who desire
to escape the taxation burden of their
own country, revolutionists, anarchists
manned and diseased survivors of the
world war, etc.
Speaking on foreign relations, Mr..
Zihlman said: >.
"If the president will not allow
some sort of treaty to be made with
the Allies and the Central Powers
which is in accord with the views of
the American people, this matter will
have to go over until the incoming adj
ministration takes hold" He says that
no one at this time can predict with
any assurance the kind of treaty or
association of nations the new Con-
gress might favor and adopt.
Mr.. Zihlman declares that the ques-
ton of a new tariff bill will have to
go over until Republican Congress
is convened. He does not deem es-
sential that there be general revi-
sion of existing tariff rates, although
he feels that it is imperative that a
protective tariff be imposed on some
articles which are being imported in
quantities, especially from Japan.
