Saratoga Will Be Launched at
 Camden on April '

Washington, March 2o.--A new naval giant will take her first dip at Camden. N. J., April z, when the first line airplane carrier Saratoga slides off the ways of the New York Shipbuilding Corporation. When completed and commissioned with the fleet some time late in 1926, she will be the biggest and fastest craft of the kind in the world and will carry a fleet of 72 combat. observa- tion and bombing planes.
 Launching of the Saratoga will mark an epoch In American naval construction significant of the changes mans conquest of the air already has made In preparations for sea battles of the future.

 Laid down as one of six battle cruisers authorized under the 1916 building program, the Saratoga was converted under the arms limitation treaty, with her sister ship, the Lex ngton, also to be launched in the near future, into an aircraft carrier

These dis tricts have always lived on the bor- der line of want. The standard Of living is very low, and. as The Irish Times points out, it would In any year be easy to describe places where conditions of squalor could be found as surely as they are found in the London districts of Limehouse or Poplar.
 The disturbances of the past five years have caused a setback, and the sequence of two bad winters has led to the present distress. There is, even in the localities af- fected, objection to any attempt to relieve the situation merely by a policy of charitable doles. What is wanted is employment, and this the

before her construction was very far advanced. The other four cruisers were scrapped on the ways.
 The original plans called for a heavily armed and armored fighting ship to make approximately s6 knots an hour. But with the change in mission to that of aircraft carrier. the Saratoga had to be re-designed and rebuilt from the waterline up.
 As re-designed, the Saratoga will will be SSS feet long over all, with a maximum beam of 105 feet and a flying deck reaching from stem to stern, a clear sweep, with the excep- ton of the smokestack and navlgat- ing bridge huddled to the extreme starboard side amidships In order to leave full room for the landing of planes.
 She will carry eight S-inch rifles, the limit of size for ships of her type under the treaty. will have a displac- ment of about S5,0o0 tons and a speed of between S3 and S4 knots. She will be driven by electric mo- tors, the power being generated by steam turbines of 1s0,00o horse- power.
 There Is no counterpart for this first American first line carrier in any other navy. although Japan has under construction similar ships of almost as great size but considerably lower speed. The British navy Is also working out plans for new car riers which are still regarded by na- val authorities generally as expert mental to a large extent.
