proval Of National Events

At the meeting of the executive
board of the Delaware League of
Women Voters, held in Dover on
February 16, it was decided to send
letters to each of the women's organ
izations in the state, asking that they
write to our Senators at Washington
urging their support of the treaties
formulated and agreed upon at the
recent Conference for the Limitation
of Armament.
The corresponding secretary was
authorized to write to Congressman
Layton, commencing him upon his
attitude relative to the Bonus Bill
and to send to each of our Senators ir
Washington the following telegram:
"The Delaware League of Womer
Voters sends its protest against the
passage of the Bonus Bill. 1t ap
proves of helping disabled soldiers
but objects to the lack of discrimina
ton between the disabled and tn
able service men, believing it cheap
ems the splendid spirit of the wa
veteran and puts price on patri
otism."
"Mrs. A. D. Warner, President.

members of the League over the Par

Monitor Sent to
Dewey is Junked
Old Monterey's Wallowing
Trip of 5000 Miles Re.
called Carried a
Famous Gun


An old, doube-turreted monitor, the
Monterey, direct descendant of the
original monitor, the "tin can on
shingle" made famous in the battle
with the Merrimac in Hampton Roads
in the war between the States, is to
leave her bones in the far waters OF
the Pacific. After thirty years OF hon
orable service under the flag, brief
wears of high adventure and long
wears of plodding, humble, faithful
duty as a station ship, she is to be
sold to any Junk man who will risk a
few hundred dollars in a salvage ven
ture.
The Monterey was the first steel
fighting ship built on the Pacific coast.
Her keel was laid at the Union Iron
Works, San Francisco, in 1889, and in
1893, with full ceremony and great
public enthusiasm, the flag was hoist
ed that marked her first commission.
They had been great days, those OF
her building. For in her day the ship
was mighty one in gun rower and
defensive armament and all along the
Pacific coast the size of her rifles was
talked of by people who never before
had been interested in such sub
iect, The first of her two l2-lnch guns
was freighted westward with the
folks turning out all along the way to
look at it, blocked up on a freight
car. 1t had name, big Betsy" Fin
ally, still with the people taking a
large part in every step, the gun was
in place in the forward turret of the
Monterey. Come then the sister piece
and the two smaller 10-inch rifles for
the after turret, and the monitor was
ready for her place in the navy at
last.
She was not designed for fighting
at sea- Her mission was harbor de-
fense She was just floating bat
terry, sitting low in the water so as tc
offer small target for an enemy's
fire, her four heavy guns housed II
walls of chilled steel to be final bar
rier against any invader coming II
from the sea. She was not designed
to go outside except in smooth wealth
er, for it took little heaving of the
sea to send blue water foaming Ovel

the ship went, as the weather served
to show herself to the people at thu
