Washington.—Tbe thirty-ninth battle-
•tilp built for the American navy since
1SI*2 took the water when the super-
Dreadnought Arizona slipped from the
ways of the New York navy yard.
Compared to the first American battle­
ship, the Indiana, launched In 1 Stitt, tbe
Arizona Is nearly twice as long, half
again as wide and of three times as
great displacement. Against the In­
diana's four thirteen-inch guns and
eight eight-inch the Arlzoua w ill carry
twelve fourteen-inch and twenty-two
five-inch rifles, the same armament as
her sister ship, the Pennsylvania, that
was recently launched at Newport
News.
The Indiana's thirteen Inch guns
were identical with those aboard the
famous old Oregon, which played their
part in the battle o f Santiago.
With the fourteens o f the Arizona in
her turrets, the Oregou could have
baited any one o f tbe fleeing Spanish
ships almost without leaving her sta­
tion. The Arizona's guns have a range,
even at tbe low elevation o f American
navy mountings, o f fifteen miles or
more against eight or nine miles for
the old thirteens.
The Arizona is the fourth battleship
built by the United States in its own
navy yard at New York. The others

Chicago,—A series of exhaustive ex
pertinents are beiug conducted at Fort
Sheridan, under the supervision o f
United States army officers, with the
chemical Uunh receutly Invented by
Dr. L. It. Fowzer. Condemned cattle
are the subjects. Dr, Fowzer declares
their death will be lustautaueous.
A representative o f the war depart­
ment conferred with Dr. Fowzer, and
it developed that government chemists
have been working for u year to per-
feet a bomb almost Identical with Dr.
Fowzcr's.
“ I would not be afraid to tell any
one everything used In the bomb," said
Dr. Fowzer, "and defy production o f
the bomb. The manufacturing process
Is the secret I am glad the United
States government Is Investigating uiy
bomb. Tbls country can bare It for n
tithe o f what It would cost any foreign
nation.
"M y bomb w ill accomplish more to­
ward eliminating war than your pleas
for i>eace. When science succeeds In
making war so deadly that men will
recoil from It In horror then |>eace will
have made gigantic strides."
While Dr. Fowzer's claim pertains
only to the chemical properties o f tbe
bomb, the method o f loading uud shoot­
ing It from a cannon U something
which he expects w ill require consider­
able experiment. This problem, how­
ever, seems to have already been solved
by the government. The containers
and a thin steel casing have been per­
fected.

The Imports o f foods fell off $3.500,-
000, those o f Industrial materials $1<«0,-
000,000. while those o f manufactures,
mostly war munitions. Increased over
$7,000,000.
The exports o f food products de­
creased nearly $7,000,000, those of In­
dustrial materials over $ii 1.000,000 and
manufactures $9(5,000,00®.
T i e Imports into France In 1914 to­
taled $ 1,225,397;000 as against $1.1125,-
317,000 in 1913, and the exports from
France In 1914 were $931,131,000 ns
compared with $1,327,882,000 In 1913,
d decrease o f $39(5,751,OCX).
The cruslting extent o f the blow dealt
by the war Is shown by the fact that
In the first six months of 1914, liefore
hostilities, France’s foreign trnde In­
creased $33,391,000.
The tendency o f the war toward eco­
nomic exliaustlon Is Indicated by the
fact that the decrease in Imports and
exports was almost entirely In mate­
rial for the Industries and In manu­
factures.
The United Kingdom suffered less
than any other nation by reason o f the
decrease In French trade, nnd the Unit­
ed States came next. The Belgian
trade was almost entirely destroyed
through the occupancy o f that king­
dom by the Oprmnn armies. The ship
ments from Belgium to France In 1914,
before the war, were valued at $00,-
406,000, while the shipments after the
| war began, up to Jan. 1, 1915, were
only $(577,000.

were the Connecticut, tbe Dreadnought
Florida and the super-DreadnoughtNew
York, at present one of the largest,
swiftest and most powerful o f Ameri-
can fighting craft. Against tbe New
York's displacement of 27,000 tons,
however, the Arizona displaces 31,400
tons and measures COO feet in length
and' ninety-seven ifect six inches in
width. She will mount twelve four-
teen-inch guns to the ten fourteens
carried by the Texas, and they w ill be
carried three to a turret, as aboard the
Pennsylvania.
Immediately the keel o f the navy
department's greatest experiment in
naval construction, the electrically
driven super-Dreadnought California,
will be laid at the New York navy
yard.
She will be nearly 1,000 tons heavier
than tbe Arizona, although carrying
the same equipment and arrangement
o f guns, but Is expected to develop a
greater speed than the twenty-one
knots desired o f the Arizona.
Comparing the most recent govern­
ment built battleship to tbe first turn­
ed out, navy officials point to the fact
that although the Arizona has twelve
guns to the Connecticut's four and dis­
places 15,400 tons more water, being
nearly twice as large, she will carry
only 015 men ns against tbe 1,012
men who are needed to handle the
smaller ship.
This is due to the Improvement In me­
chanical appliances for battleships in
the last decade and also to the fact
that oil has been substituted for coal
as fuel, decreasing the necessary fire
room force and that only two sizes of
guns compose her armament against
the four sizes aboard the Connecticut
