 By special signaling devices con- nected throughout the ship, reports from this fighting top can be flashed instantly to all parts of the ship, thus insuring instant correction of range and rapid fire.
 This lighting brain" is filled with mechanical devices for range finding and other delicate instruments never before used on a battleship.
 Another important feature in the construction of the Tennessee is her electrical control of speed enabling her to quickly change from her ca pacity speed of 21 knots to an almost imperceptible motion This is con sidered an important point from the standpoint of maneuvering.
 The Tennessee will not actually be put into service until August 1 when she will sail on a practice cruise to Guantanamo, Cuba Her present crew of Tennesseeans numbers 651.

SMUGGLING GOES ON.
FANTASTIC and IMPROBABLE
Nippon Government Would Cooperate

Tokio.-The statement OF Congress
man Albert Johnson at Tacoma,
Washington, August 2, that thousands
OF Japanese are smuggled into the
United States from japan yearly, Is
giving evidences Of tendency to IN
crease the feeling with regard to the
United States created by the arrival
OF the recent American note and sub
seQuent newspaper attacks against
America. The foreign office made the
following statement:
1--WE can only express surprise at
the extraordinary statement made by
Congressman Johnson at Tacoma.
Details of the scheme, as outlined by
Mr.. Johnson, appear fantastic and
most improbable. While solitary
cases of smuggling come to our no
tice from time to time, it is unimagln-
able that such an involved and intr1-
cate program as described by Mr.
Johnson should be systematically
practiced by any group Of individuals
or organization.
"The Japanese government would
gladly cooperate with the American
government in exposing any such 1lle-
gitimate and underhanded system. 1t
is hoped that Mr.. Johnson will give
the names of the bank, associations
or individuals concerned. All such In
formation must be in the hands Of Mr..
Johnson, who otherwise would not
