•BIGGEST NAVAL
SHIP A! OAT
TO BE BUILT
QUINCY, Mass., June 7 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The keel of the
-world’s biggest warship will be laid
down here within six months. The
battle-cruiser Lexington, combining
in a degree unequalled by any ship of
$var now built or building the quali
ties of powerful armament and high
speed, has taken form in drawings
and awaits the arrival of materials
'Ife be advanced from the hands of the
architect to those of the builder. By
fall, it is estimated, the prospective
queen of the United States navy will
become a ship under construction in
stead of an ambitious plan.
The Lexington is the name-ship of
battle-crusers which will give Uncle
Sam within four years a fleet of six
big-gun fighting ships unmatched by
anything then afloat. Her sister ships
the Constellation, Saratoga, Ranger,
Constitution and United States, are
also under contract. They bring
names out of the old navy with
traditional background for fresh ex
ploits.
With others of its class, the Lexing
ton will be a whale of a ship. It will
displace 43,200 tons and will have the
power of 180,000 horses, as measured
in mechanical terms. Its length of
874 feet is within 4 feet of the length
of the steamship Leviathan, the mons
ter passenger liner. The 101.4 feet of
width of the Lexington will make tnat
floating gun platform broader than
any passenger ship.
The Lexington, which is to be com
pletely equipped with electric drive,
will attain a speed of 35 knots. This
cruiser speed, higher than that of
many destroyers, is the object of
much of the designing that entered
into the creation of the Lexington
class. Armor will be sacrificed to
make possible the 35 knot speed—
the main belt being only five inches
* thick at its maximum as compared
with the 12 inch steel belt on most
battleships, but armament will be of
tremendous power. The Lexington
thus will have not only the strategic
advantage of high speed but it will
be able to fire a heavier charge over
a greater distance than any other bat
tleship for which the plans are known.
The Lexington in action will speak
with a voice of 16-inch guns, of which
* she will have eight The navies of
Great Britain, France and Italy con
tain no gun greater than 15 inches
and that of Japan includs 16-inch guns
only on the battleships of 24 knot
speed which are now under construc
tion. Unlike the dreadnought class,
reliance on big guns exclusively, the
Lexington will carry 16-inch guns as a
secondary armament.
Taking a page from the naval les
sons of the war, the designers of the
Lexington have equipped the ship
with four anti-aircraft guns, eight
torpedo tubes, four of which are sub
merged and four on deck and with
means of defense against aerial bombs
and aerial torpedoes. Defense against
submarine torpedoes will be obtained
through fore and aft torpedo bulk
heads. which the stability of the ves
sel will preserve no matter where she
^ is pierced. Under any conditions but
an explosion, it is claimed the Lex
ington class of warship should prove
unsinkable.
An indication of the Lexington’s
greatness is afforded by comparison
with the British warship Hood, which
when it is floated will be the biggest
ship in the British navy and afloat.

CHINA GIVES US
MUCH BUSINESS
SAN FRACISCO, June 7 (by Asso-'
dated Press).—American business in
terests in China are prosperous and
this country does more business in
China now than all the other countries
combined, according to George E.
Anderson, American consul-general at
Hongkong, a recent arrival here. He
said: “Legislation permitting Amer
ican concerns to incorporate through
the consulates is needed and firms
should be free from the restrictions
now entailed in order to give them an
equal chance with foreigners.”
