New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, July "a.
The battleship Maryland the nrst
lighting vessel in the world TO carry
sixteen inch guns. is now the property
of the United States Government, hay
ing been turned over officially, accord
ing to advices received tonight by the
builders. the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing and Dry Dock Company at Newport
News, Va. The battleship is TO be put
into commission at once by Capt. Charles
+. Preston, who is to be in command.
Trouble arose last week CONCERNING
deliverey. but it has been straighteaed
out to the satisfaction of all concerned
The delivery was TO have occurred on
Wednesday last, but the paint was MOI
dry. The builders wanted tn espace an
the yards and consequently sent the snip
to the naval operating base at Hampton
Roads before she was expected. The
naval authorities after some discussion
took charge of the ship.
1t will be early spring before the
Maryland will Join the Atlantic fleet.
Capt. Preston is organizing the crew,
which will be composed of about 1900
men. There are to be 100 officers. They
are to be trained before the battleship
sets out The first place to be visited
will be Baltimore, to celebrate the fact
the vessel was named for the State of
Maryland.
The Maryland weighs approximately
$4,000 tons She is not the largest bat
tleship afioat. but carries the heaviest
armament. The Tennessee. which is the
same size, has II inch guns. The largest
British battleships have 10 inch guns.
The Maryland has six of the 16 inch
type
The Maryland has the new clipper bow
which has been adopted for the latest
naval vessels, and therefore will look
strange TO those who have been accus-
toned to seeing warships with straight
lines forward. The object Of the clipper
bow is to make more room for the an
chor. 1t also gives more deck space.

All sorts of bug powders, insecticides

DRYS TRY TO HURRY
BEER BILL PASSAGE
Wheeler Accuses Vets of Tn
fair Play in Delaying
Vote in Senate.
Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Va Iuly (

Washington. July "a.
The drys tonight charged that wet
propaganda Is behind the movement to
hurry the issuance of Treasury regula-
tions before the Senate acts on the
Willis-C Campbell anti-beer bill. Wayne
B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti
Saloon League. issued statement in
which he said:
THE continued objection by the ad-
vocates Of medicinal beer to the con-
sideration of the enforcement bill is a
part of wet propaganda to force the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue to is
sue the beer regulations"
Mr. Wheeler said that if the beer reg
ulations are issued lawlessness will be
encouraged. He declared that such a
step would furnish food for the wet
propaganda"
THE vets are playing a bold game
to defy the law and it's enforcement
Mr.. Wheeler said. Large sums have
been spent in advertising propaganda
by the association against the prohibi-
ton amendment advocating repeal Of the
Volstead act and requiring each State
to enact its own law in nullification of
the Eighteenth Amendment"
He declared in spite of this opposi-
tion there should be an immediate vote
on the anti-beer bill.
"Of course" continued Wheeler,
there are other important measures be-
fore the Senate for consideration. but
this bill has been discussed on three diff
ferent legislative days and the Senate
voted to take it up on Friday. But Sem
ator Reed got the floor and used up the
time in talking on another bill BY
every rule of fair play and reason this
bill should be disposed of at once, even
il it Is necessary to close debate after
disposition of the pending agricultural
bill"
Commissioner Blair will not take up
the beer regulations again before Tues
day. He will not return to Washing
ton before then from his week end stay
in North Carolina. On that day. how
ever, there is expected to be some de-
cision in regard to the beer regulations
after Mr.. Blair has had time for con-
ference with Senate leaders as to pos
sibility Of immediate action. Senate
leaders expressed themselves tonight as
much in doubt over the probable dispo-
sal of the anti-beer legislation within
another week, In view of the insistence
of Senators for more time for speeches
on the question, and the fact that the
agricultural bill. which is now the un-
finished business, may not be side
tracked.

to come. America Is rearing the China

"why shoul not we (the British, T"
he demands -share an influence that
we formerly monopolized and that Is
now slipping away from us?" and, he
goes on:
II asked a returned student as we
watched the boys at baseball why
China did not look to England as an

Sure, we will" he replied. when
You remit the Boxer indemnity"
The Chinese president of the college
put IL TO the correspondent this way:
"Chinese-American friendship has be-
come so proverbiai thnt few people take
the trouble to investigate the cause of
such good international understanding.
Any country that wishes 20 captlvate the
hearts Of the Chinese can do no better
than follow the example set by Amer

II. Lenox-s Simpson. an Engiishman
who holds the post OF political adviser
to the Chinese Government, and who Is
at present in London. writes TO the Daily
Mail that the process OF the Americana
zation OF China Is a very real one.
''Big business" he says. rs tending to

those who favor them" and he con-
cludes:
The helpfulness OF America, not only
to Young China but also to Old China.
is n subject OF common conversation
throughout the immense Chinese society
which fills the Far Eastern continent.
SO far the results Of this have not been
felt or understood In this country. but
unless we take speedy action we are
destined to drop during the next twelve
months to third or fourth place in the
Chinese republic, and thereby affect our
whole standing throughout Asia"
