TOLAY KEELFOR
BIGGEST WARSHIP
American Battle Cruiser
To Be Put Under
Construction

QUINCY, MASS, May 28.-The
keel of the worlds biggest warship
will be Land down here within sly
months. The battle cruiser Lexing-
ton. combining in degree un-
equallcd by any ship of war now
built or building the qualities +
powerful armament and high speed,
has taken form in drawings and now
awaits the arrival Of materials to be
advanced from the hands of the ar
chitccts to those Of the builder. By
fall. it is estimated, the prospective
queen of the United States navy will
become a ship under construction in
stead Of an ambitious plan.
The Lexington is the name-shlp of
a class of battle cruisers which will
give Uncle Sam within four years a
fleet of six big-gun fighting ships
unmatched by anything then ahoat
Her sister ships, the Constellation
Saratoga, Rangor, Constitution and
United States are also under con
tract. They bring names out of the
old navy with which to develop for
the first new capital vessels of the
Americus times-recorder., 1920-05-28

with means of defense against aerial
bombs and aerial torpedoes. Defense
against submarine torpedoes will be
obtained through fore and aft tor
pedo defense bulkheads, by which
the stability of the vessei will be pre-
served no matter where she is
pierced. Under any conditions but
an explosion, it is claimed, the Lex
ington class of warship should prove
unsinkable
An indication Of the Lexington's
greatness is afforded by comparison
with the British warship Hood, which
when it is foated viii be the biggest
ship in the British navy and afloat.

broader than any passenger ship.
The Lexington, which is to b,
equipped with electric drive, will at
tain speed of 35 knots. This crui
ser speed, higher N that of many
destroyers, is the objec. of much of
the designing that entered into tn,
creation Of the Lexington class.
Armor will be sacrificed to make pas
sible the 35 knot speed-the mair
belt being only inches tlick al it
maximum as compared with the 12-
inch steel belt on most battleships
but armament will be of tremendou~
power. The Lexington thus will
have not only the strategic advan-
tage of high speed, but will be able
TO fire a heavier charge over a much
greater distance than any other bat
-leship for which the plans are now
Americus times-recorder., 1920-05-28

known.
The Lexington in action will
speak with a voice of l6-inch guns,
Of which she will have eight. The
navies Of Great Britain. France and
ltal y contain no gun greater than Is
inches and that of Japan includes
l6-lnch guns only on battleships Of
"a knots speed which are now under
construction. Unlike the dread
nought class reliance on big gun ex-
cluslvely, the Lexington will carry
10 b-lnch guns as a secondary ar
mament.
Taking a page from the naval les
sons Of the war, the designers of the
Lexington have equipped the ship
with four anti-aircraft guns, eight
torpedo tubes, four of which are
submerged and four on deck and

ground for fresh exploits.
With the others of its class, the
Lexington will be whale of ship.

have the power of 100000 horses

Its length of STA feet is within 46
feet of the length of the Leviathan

ported in the winter wheat growing
sections up to March /, These reports,
made by county agricultural agents
to Chas. d. Greenfield, Commissioner
of Agriculture and Publicity, cover
Is counties in the state and in but
two is there any winter killing. An
other good feature is the report from
two counties which suffered severely
from the drouth last year, that from
20 to 85 per cent of the farmers, who
left their farms last fall, are going to
rethrn in time for the spring planting.
The reports also show that in some
counties there will be hay not only
sufficient meet the needs of the locali-
ty but to ship to other counties: that
in consequence of the supply of hay
in hand in several counties the price
of that commodity is falling. Another
feature of the report is to the effect
that there is considerable moisture
in the ground from the SHOWS early
in the winter, that cattle have been
cared for so that they are coming
through the winter in fine shape and
the sentiment of the people generally
is optimistice. The class of livestock
which has suffered most during the
winter and in which the loss accord
ing to the reports will be the heaviest
in horses.

To this day I've never quite reeov-
cred from the establishment and cha
grin when on waking up in the morn
ing 1 reviewed the case with re-
freshed mind and realized with what
Mrs. Delario and me in our own homes
and had us quaking in our boots in
fear of our very lives
Monsieur had managed Mrs. Delario
even better than he had me--he had
merely left detective In her house
to watch her by day and lock her up
by night. In fact, she'd actually in
vited the detective in proof of her In
nocence; for when monsieur had ac-
cused her of stealing jewels she saw
in her minds eye-just as I did-trin-
kets, jewelry; and the idea that he
was referring to seven unset diamonds

head.

while you examine everything-every-
thing-and then you must get wom-
an to search me-"
This unsolicited action, her fiat de-
NAL and his finding the slipper where
she'd carelessly dropped 1t In her ward
robe threw the scent on me. In two
hours monsieur convinced himself that
she did not have the diamonds and
knew nothing about them, and he then
requested her-as the proof of her
Doncemplicity-to let him lock her in
her room and send for mel And she
didn't dare to refusei

way she'd lied to me about the uncle
abroad who had left them to her.
Still-it was an understandable lie !:
since she'd found the diamonds and
didn't know who owned them she felt
they belonged to her as much as If
they'd been left her in Will.
Mrs. Delarlo herself admitted me !;
gave gasp when she saw who 1t was,
