Nasato ana Maryland Compared.

In the construction Of these ships
the Japanese experts have provided
against the defects disclosed at the
battle of Jutland which is universally
held to have provided the best COM
parative test for capital fighting craft
in the history Of naval warfare. or

Japanese navies at the present time
the, U. s. S. Maryland and His I'M
perial Majesty's Nagato hold first
honors. Both are destined to play an
important part in future maneuvring
in the Pacific.
The Maryland Is the most powerful
ship yet constructed in the States and
is soon to go into commission. She
will be. the first ship OF the United
states Navy to carry 16-inch guns.
The Nagato, which is already in COM
mission, is equipped with guns of this
calibre and is considered by experts
throughout the world as having 8
shade Of the better over her American
rival in the matter of speed and arna-
ment.
The Maryland is one of the four
smaller vessels provided by the 1916
building programme. carrying eight
16-inch and fourteen 5-inch guns,
while the Nagato carries eight 16-inch
and twenty 5-inch guns. Compari-
sons between the two reveal the fol-
lowing essential points OF difference;

The Japanese battle cruisers Amagi
and Akagi Will carry twelve 16-inch
guns and the Ataso and the Taloao
eight 1Sifch guns, according tos'very
definite information. This will give the
Amagi and Al1agi four more such
weapons than will be carried by any
OF the six battle cruisers now under
construction in the United States,
whichl will carry eight only. And If
Japan intends to place 1S-inch guns
on the Atago and Takao there is every
reason to believe that she will place
them upon other batfIeships to be
built by her. This will give, her gun
power vastly superior to that OF the
American ships under construction,
the figures giving the Japanese ships
a total broadside Of 35S,656 pounds,
fired from eighty-four 16-inch and
sixty-four 1S-inch weapons, as against
311,296 pounds fred by the sixteen
American vessels of the 1916. pro-
gramne from 152 16-incl guns.
Details as to material. design and
technical information regarding the
construction of Japanese naval yes
sells are difficult to obtain, while in
formation and even drawings of Ameri-
can naval ships are released far in adj
vance. The Japanese Government Of
ficials are extremely reticent In giving
out information regarding any fea-
lures Of the naval programme. This

Naval experts throughout the world

both branches Of the service. There
appears to be some justifications for

most OF the present American sub
marines will be obsolete by 1925.
In making their estimates for future
comparisons the Japanese disregard

ton OF the California and Tennessee.
They figure that these two vessels win

final stage OF the building programme
will outmatch them.
The Japanese experts are confident
that the United States viii take a VA
cation" with the. completion of the
1916 building programme. The pres
ent Japanese plan does not contem-
plate any vacation" The "eight-
eight programme Is the irreducible
Japanese programme, and there is ap-
parently no thought in the mind OF
the Japanese naval officials of curtail-
ing it in response to the movement set
in motion by President Harding.
Great Britain has not ship in its
entire navy which can compare to the
Japanese battleships Nasato and
Mutsu, or the United States ship
Maryland. with the possible exception
OF the Hood, which is battle cruiser
apd not in the same class with the
Japanese battleships named. The
largest gun in the British navy Is the
15-inch. the Royal Sovereign class
carrying eight 15-inch guns OF 40
calibre. These 15-inch guns are no,
more powerful than the high powered
14-inch Of SO calibre, which have. n
wider range and a greater power Of
penetration.
The calibre of the Japanese guns
will have a considerable bearing upon
the equality OF their ships with those
Of the United States Navy. The
Nagato and Mutsu are equipped with
16-inch 45 calibrc guns. the same as
American ships of the Maryland type.

United States six battle cruisers.
Japan eight battle cruisers.

The eight Japanese battle cruisers
win be equal IN power to the six which
the United States will have, and sur
passing them with 1S-inch guns and
the most recently constructed. thus
giving Japan an undoubted advan-
tage.
The "eight-eight' plan OF the JAP
anese navy was devised before the
1916 programme Of the United States,
and that leads to the question "for
what purpose is Japan building this
great fleet?" 1t is certainly not for
the war with Germany, as the Japa-
nese programme could not be com
pleted in time to be Of any use in that
war. AS interpreted in official circles
at Toxic, the naval programme Of the
Mlkado's Government was adopted as
a matter of permanent policy and des-
tined to place 1t at the top of nations
and in position to dictate in the Pa
cifc II it became necessary.
The whole Japanese naval pro-
gramrne has been, as said, pre6icatcd
on the theory that the life OF a fight
ing ship is limited to eight years. The
United States Navy to-day holds a de-
cided naval advantage over the Japa-
nese and, unless the American 1916
programme is abandoned, will con-
tinle to hold it until 1928. But after
that, the American advantage will not
be materially increased, but will rather
be decreased, even though the second
rate ships are included in the first
line. In any event, Japan's eight

our navy, ship for ship, and in the

The superiority Of the Nagato is

superiority of battle cruisers of the

According to the best information
obtainable, the new Japanese fighting
capital ships will be equipped with de-
vices that viii render them almost i'm
pervious to attacks from the air. Five
turrets containing two guns each,
mounted on the centre line of the Jap
anese ships. will provide placements
for the main batteries. The secondary
batteries will consist of twenty 5.5-
inch 50-canbre guns. with an anti-air-
craft battery of four 50-calibre 3-inoh
guns on high-angle mounts. The tor
psto battery viii include four decks
and four submerged 21inch torpedo
tubes, while the latest American types
will have only : two 21-fnch torpedo

Yale Graduates Plan
Athletic Association

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Marc, IT,
Members of the graduate departments
at Yale have taken up the question of
organizing graduate athletic associa-
tion. They held mass meeting to-
night, at which representatives of
the graduate law, medical and divinity
schools appeared. 1t was pointed out
that the art, music and forestry schools
we're eligible to membership.
The proposal was discussed of form
ing athletic teams of these purely grad
uate departments, especially in base
ball and football. Other teams can be
organized as the material develops, it
is felt. Sentiment favors forming a
baseball nine this spring and arrang-
ing games with Harvard and Princeton
graduate departments. Under rules
adopted four years ago, persons with
an academic degree arc ineligible for
membership on varsity teams in any

son jabbed Mikes face three times with
the right and Mike retaliated with a
right to the wind. They stood head to
head failing away with both arms to
the last ten seconds.
Lieutenant Earl Baird, of Seattle,
and Joe German, of Portland, furnished
one of the greatest ten-round feather
weight battles the old town has known
since George Dixon was in his prime.
the opening bell until the final gong.
Though the majority of the critics at
the ringside believed German clearly
earned the decision, the judges again
failed to agree and Referee McAvoy
declared the contest draw
Through the first round German
worked away with both hands and any
number of times had the wee Lieu
tenant rocking like an oak in gale.
Both boys were possessed of the we'll
known wallop, both carried real kick
with right hook while the latter
was boring in and raised him several
inches off his heels. Then he landed
the one-two punch that forced the
lieutenant to cover and clinch.
Through the second round, too, the
little gladiator from Portland con-
tinued to carry the battle to the army
man. But Baird has square, heavy
set jaw and the best meant hooks and
uppercuts turned off the point like
water off a ducks back Baird was
content, it seemed, to take two blows
any time in order to trade one in re-
turn.
Baird Comes Back Strong
Baird came back in fine shape in the
third round and scored a number of
clean, hard, short-arm jolts to the body
that shook up German no little bit. In
this round repeatedly the two stood
toe-to-tce, both arms failing away with
the regularity and force Of locomotive
pistons. One of Baird's straight left
jabs raised a mouse under Gorman's
right eye.
1neywent at - hammer and tongs
through the fourth when German acci-
dentally butted Baird, cutting a cash
over his own left eye. German in this
round seemed to be slowing just trife
as if arm weary through hammering
away at Baird.
The fifth was another corking chap
ter, in which Baird rallied and handed
out number of damaging short arm
jolts, but the sixth simply set the big
crowd mad with excitement. For the
first two minutes of this round German
made a veritable chopping block Of
Baird. He slugged him ali over the ring,
changing his point of attack from head
to body and back again with such rare
generalship that Baird was completely
befuddled.
The milling slowed bit then. None
could stand such a pace more than six
rounds. But the gamecocks were only
resting momentarly to recoup their
waning strength. In the ninth they cut
loose again with all the reckless aban-
don of the earlier passages. A dozen
times Germans damaging short-arm
jolts rang off Baird's jaw or sank deep
ly into his midrff, but Baird simply
wouldn't go down. The tenth had as
much fireworks crowded into it as any
two of the preceding rounds combined.
German hit Baird with everything
but the water bucket. but still Baird
refused to give way an inch. He simply
shook his head and tore in all the
harder. The crowd was a raving Bed
lam at the final bell, and it was five
minutes before order could be restored
to permit Joe Humphreys to make an
announcement.
