DOOMED BY TREATY

New York, Aug. 22.-The clangor of
pneumatic hammers on steel, the glow
and hiss of the acetylene torch and the
clamor of the overhead travelling crane
are again TO be heard in the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. The work of "junking'
two great battleships that were to have
been the pride of the American navy
has begun. The PROCLAMATION OF the
arms treaty at Washington. followed
Frances tardy ratification, has set in
motion the machinery to carry out
Americas sacrifice in the heavier ships
of belted steel and bristling turret.
The uncompleted hulks of the man,
moth superdreadnaughts, South Da-
kota and Indiana. abandoned on word
from President Harding when the
agreements of Washington were signed,
are being torn apart. For more than a
year they have stood like great red
skeletons in the black steel cradles
which were erected to serve as mater
nifty beds for the battleships that were
to help the United States climb to the
highest peak of world naval power.
Awaited Final signing.
For a year scattered steel plates and
bars and beams had remained just
where the workmen had left them
when the Washington conference had
completed its work. For year tie

pair of a ship putting in from the dim
inished Atlantic forces. From the mo-
ment work was stopped on the behe-
moths Of the ways-destined never to
reach the waves, it was known that the
task of construction must give way to
the rougher work of destruction. But,
technically. the orders could not be Civ
en- until the last of the naval powers
officially had sanctioned the treaties.
Technically the United States wanted
to remain in the position where il
could 90 ahead on the Sou" Dakota
and the Indiana il the treaties finally
failed in any quarter. But the naval
expects knew that nothing could save
the two battleships. Rust and the neg

less as derelicts on the ways.

were about one-third completed. Most
of the work on their outer hulls had
been done and boiler installdti ms were
in progress. The hundreds of tons
of steel plates and Jennings and the
boiler parts will be sold for junk.
Probably the prices realized for the ma
terial will not cover the :oss of dis

navy yards that once the abandoned

carriers and the various other craft
upon which no limits were placed. The
new era in the navy has begun.

war days and Of Fighting Bob Evans
"Reminiscences, was laid down alongside
the South Dakota in 1920. The e
twins of the heavy fighting line were
to have been the largest electrically
driven, torpedo-protected battleships in
the world. Each was to have been Of
10000 tons displacement. The new
naval treaty limits the 'vies Of the
world TO craft of ten thousand tons
and less, except for the replacement
now and then of the heavy ships au.

of defense.
The South Dakota and the Indiana
were to mount eight 16-inch guns in
four turrets.
1t is interesting, in this connection
that the two new battleships which
Great Britain was authorized TO con-
strnet ia order to maintain her posi-
ton in the famous SOB ratio, are TO
mount nine 16-inch guns in three tur.
rets. The triple gun turrets were
adopted in the American navy some
years ago, but abandoned in the design
of the later ships which came under the
ban of the Washington conference,
Great Britain's long experienced naval
engineers did not approve of the triple
mounting. but they have adopted il
in their two new super-dreadnaughts
the Nelson and the Rodney, in order to
get the maximum of power within the
displacement weights prescribed by the
conference. The British ships will
carry one more 16-inch rifle, therefore.

navy.

one of their favorite flowers and they
should be seen about it. Late in the

Looking back over the lists VIC find
that nearly $50 species have been re-
ported, with total of abou. 500 re
cords. Of these, what are the birds
most commonly noticed? We find
that there are 80 birds which appear
in or more out of Is lists, and that
the meadow lark heads the list Ar
ranged according to the number Of
lists in which they appear they are
as follows: meadow lark 10, robin
IL, flicker IL, geese 10, Harris spar

grosbeak 7, lark bunting Z, horned
lark 6,\redheaded woodpecker 6, mar
tin 6, myrtle warbler 6, bobolink 8,
brown thasher 6, baltimore oriole 6.
Another point of interest is that
of the first eight birds seen in early
spring had an average of 8 reports
each, the next Is averaged S each,
and after that still lower. This
seems to tell how much more attcn-
ton the first ones receive. Some Of
the later ones also received many re-
ports, but there were more which had
but few.
