The United States. whose lack of

the basis of some of the criticism re-
GENTLY leveled at the Navy Department,

full of theseoesses aAoat, according to
Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the di

clared the monster battle cruiser was

It's main batteries will mount twelve
slxteen-lnch guns and its speed will be
greater by ten miles an hour than that
of the Lusitanla, the swiftest of the
great liners at the time of its torpe-
doing
The cost of the huge battle cruiser
was placed by Mr.. Schwab at about
$50 100000. and its construction was in
the shape Of an experiment. In his
opinion. a fotilla of such craft would
be worth its cost to the United States

Not that the fighting men desire

when we have such formidable array
