Special Sale May Be Neces

solete Men 0' War
WASHINGTON. May 17. A
"bargain sale" of obsolete naval
vei;sels. including battleships and
destroyers may be held by th-
navy department soon, it was in
dicated today. A study is being
made of ways of getting rid of
many useless war craft, it was
raid, a'd it was indicated that
the example of Great Britain
might be followed In selling use
less ships to be broken up for
junk.
There are 21- battleships and
as many destroyers carried on the
'second line" list, and officers
say that more than half of the
former should be disposed of.
All except two battleships are of
the "mixed battery" type, most
of them carrying four 12-inch
guns and eight H-lnch guns, w hile
the Kentucky, Illinois and Wis
consin mount obsolete 13-inch
main battery rifles.
Included in the "second line"
list is the famous old battleship
Oregon, but it is doubtrul if the
department will order it scrapped
recause of sentimental consider
ations. The latest and most use
ful battleships on the ''second
line" list are the Michigan and
he South Carolina, both launched
in 190K. but in the opinion or
naval men, long sine practically
valueless excel for training.

The present scale is based on
a minimum of $3.40 east of the

Cascades. The board in fixing
the new basic wage at $3 for both
