MOST POWERFUL.
 WARSH|P AFL0AT.
Keel of Battle Cruiser Lex ington to be Laid Soon.
 Sisters Contracted

QUINCY, Mass, June 21 The keel of the worlds largest warship will be laid down here within six months. The battle-cruiser Lexing- ton, combining in a degree unequal led by any ship of war now built or building the qualities of power ful armament and high speed, has taken form in drawings and awaits the arrl Al of materials to be ad- .yan.ed rom the hands of the arch- itect to those of the builder.
 By fall, it is estimated, the pros pective queen of the United States Navy will become ship under construction instead of an ambi tious plan.
 The Lexington is the name-ship of a class of battle-cruisers which will give Uncle Sam within four years fleet of six big-gun fighting ships unmatched by anything afloat. Her sister-ships, the Constellation, Saratoga, Ranger, Constitution and United States, arc also under con- tract They bring names out of the old navy with which to develop for the first new capital vessels of the postwar fleet a traditional background for fresh exploits.
 43,200 Tons Displacement
 With the others of it's class, the Lexington will beG whale of a ship It will displace 43,200 tons and will have the power of 1S0,- 900 horses, as measured in mechan- teal terms. It's length of STA feet is within 46 feet of the length of the Leviathan, monster passenger liner The 1O14 feet of width of the Lexington will make that float ing gun platform broader than any passenger ship.
 The Lexington, which is to be equipped with electric drive, will attain a speed of 35 knots. This cruiser speed, higher than that of many destroyers, is the object of much of the designing that entered into the creation of the Lexington class. Armor will be sacrificed to make possible the 35 knot speed the main belt being only five inches thick at it's maximum as compared with the 12 inch steel belt on most battleships. but armament will be of tremendous power. The Lexing- ton thus will have not only the strategic advantage of high speed but will be able to fire a heavier charge over greater distance than any other battleship for which the plans are known.
 Will Carry 8 Biggest Guns
 The Lexington in action Will speak with a voice of 16-inch guns, of which she will have eight. The navies of Great Britain, France and Italy contain no gun greater than Is inches and that of Japan in- cludes 16-inch guns only on battle ships of "A knot speed which are now under construction. Unlike the dreadnought class reliance on big guns exclusively the Lexington will carry 16-inch guns as a sec ondary armament.
 Taking a page from the naval lessons of the war, the designers or the Lexington have equipped the ship wkith four anti-aircraft guns. eight torpedo tubes. four of which are submerged and four on deck and with means of defense against aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes. Defense against submarine torpedoes will be obtained through fore and aft torepdo defense bulkheads by which the stability of the vessel will be preserved no matter where she is pierced.
