LAUNCHED BUT
TO BE SCRAPPED
That Appears to Be Fate
of Newest American
Giant Ship
WEST VIRGINIA
SLIPS FROM WAYS
The Great Battleship Is 65
Per Cent Com
plete

Washington, d. c., Nov. d.
Launched as one Of the proudest and
greatest battIeships ever designed by
the American army only to be strapped
within few months, appeared to be
the fate OF the super-dreadnaught
West Virginia to-day when she skipped
from the ways of the Newport News
ShipbuiIding and Drydock Co.
The American naval reduction plan
as presented to the armament confer
ence provides for the scrapping Of the
West Virginia. If the American plan is
agreed to, the dreadnaught, to-day
about IS per cent complete, will never
be finished and never plow the seas
bearing the Stars and Stripes.
| The West Virginia is one of the
same class and power as the Maryland
soon to be commissioned. Somewhere
among government stores are eight 10
inch rifles made especially to tit her
four gun pits. She would be able when
completed to steam at almost q 23-
kuDl SDtth+ toHt IL buiit 81 dS w p' a.
NEST invulnerable to torpedo attack;
she carries hulk of the hardest armor
ever rolled. No device that American
genius or war experience has combined
to produce has been omitted from the
ships fighting equipment.
The spectacle Of this giant fighting
machine-the product of years of con-
centrated effort of mind and body by
thousands of men being launched
only to be destroyed, is pathetic TO
naval officers. She has grown to be to
them friend and comrade and her
destruction with never chance to
know the open road Of the deep sea
and the far ports where she might
have gone will be for them saddening
sight.
The West Virginia's keel was laid in
April, 1920. As launched che measures
625 feet from stem to stern and is %
feet in beam. In addition to the eight
l6-inch rifles she would when complet-
ed carry secondary battery of IA
five-inch rifles. four three inch anti
aircraft guns and two 2l-inch sub
merged torpedo tubes Designs call for
an eleetric-drive OF 10000 horsepower
furnished by oil burners and turbines.

Do You Kno0, Of Any Disabled Veteran

The Red Cross spent last year APP
proximately ten million dollars in serv-
ing disabled ex-service men and their
families. 1t must find that last man who
is suffering, and perhaps you know his
name. Send his name and address to
your Red Cross Chapter Immediately.
And when you know that this one
activity of the Red Cross costs nearly
four million dollars more than the ag-
gregate receipts Of the years member
ship dues, you certainly will not only
help it fird and help these disabled men,
but you will renew your membership
and see that every last member of your
family is enrolled.
Your Red Cross can carry on only
through your support!

The Texas Cowboy
I'll never come North again.
My home is the sunny South,
Where it's never mo- than forty below
An beans don't freeze in your
mouth.
An the snow amt like white smoke
An the groun' amt like white iron
An the wind don't stray from Baffin's

To join you on retirin'.

Bill's head was full O. fire

An the things he said wuz rich an
An ratified as they come.
Dave wuz on his stummick,
Readin' the news at his ease-lke,

he'll do to Dave
In words that could walk away,
cheese-like.
or Bills fist wuz man-size
Sure as any alive
But Dave, never squintin', turns over

But Dave he's gentle an mild,
An they talks together O. cows an

The Bad Lands
1t rains here when it rains an it's hot
here when it's hot,
The real folks is real folks which city
folks is not.
The dark is as the dark was before
stars was made;
The sun is as the sun was before Goo
thought of shade;
An the prairie an the butte-tops an
the long winds, when they blow,
Is like the things what Adam knew
on his birthday, long ago.
The Bad Winter
/ may not see a hundred
Before I see the Styx,
But coal, or ember, I'll remember
Eighteen eighty-six.
The stiff heaps in the coulee,
The dead eyes in the camp,
out
As woman blows out lamp.
The Ex.COwpuncher
Somewhere on some faded page
I read about Golden Age,
But Gods and Caledonian hunts
Were nothing to what I knew once.
Here on these hills was hunting!
Here antelope sprang and wary deer.
Here there were heroes On these
plains
Were drops afre from dragons veins:
Here there was challenge, here de-
flying,
Here was true living, here great dying
Stormy winds and stormy souls,
Earthly wills with starry goals,
-thunder-hoofs in flight
Centaurs charging through the night!
Here there were feasts of song and
story
And words Of love and dreams Of
glory!
Here there were friends! All, night
will fall
And clouds or the stars will cover ali;
But I, when go, as ghost again
To the gaunt, grim buttes, to the
friendly plain.
I know that for all that time can do
To scatter the faithful, estrange the
true
Quietly, in the lavender sage,
Will be waiting the friends of my
golden age.
TIE Buster Town
Some towns 60 out in night
And some are, swept bare in day,
But our town like a phantom island
just faded away.
Some towns die, and are dead.
But ours, tho it persisted, breathes;
And in old men and in young dreamers
Still glows and seethes.
