NEW WARSHIP LAUNCHED AT JERSEY YARDS Colorado, Second of Great Super Dreadnaughts to Take Water. MRS. MELVILLE SPONSOR CAMDEN, N. J.. March 22.—The United States added the second of the world’s greatest battleships to her fleet toduy with the launching here of the superdreadnought Colorado at the New York shipbuilding yards Into the waters of the Delaware River. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the Navy, and third of his family to officiate at the launching of an American warship, gave the signal which sent the giant craft on its journey down the ways, and Mrs. Max Melville of Danver, Colo., broke a bottle of champagne over the bow and gave the ship its name. In size and power the Colorado Is surpassed by no battleship afloat, and Is equaled by only one other battleship, her sister ship, the Maryland, launched in March, 1920. Two other ships of the same class, the Washington and West Virginia, are under construction. ENLISTED complement OF NEW SHIP 1.448 MEN. The. chief characteristics of the Colorado are: Displacement, 32,600 tons; length, 624 feet; speed, 21 knots; main battery, eight sixteen-inch guns; second battery, fourteen 5-inch guns and four 4-inch antiaircraft guns; two submerged torpedo tubes and enlisted complement 1.44S men. The nearest rivals oi the Colorado and her sister ships are the Japanese battleships of the Nagato class and the British ships of the Queen Elizabeth class, of which there are five, having a displacement of only 27.500 tons Both the Nagato and the Queen Elizabeth are armed with fifteen-inch guns. While Great Britain at present has no battleship equal In all-round efficiency to the Colorado she possesses one capital ship which is larger. This is the battle cruiser Hood, which is the biggest warship now afloat, thought it will be surpassed in size, speed and gun power by the six battle cruisers of the Constellation type authorized in the American naval bill of 1916, and four of which are under construction. NEW 17. S. CKIIBER TO SURPASS HOOD.

The Hood is BSO feet long, has a dis placement of 41,210 tons, a speed of thir-ty-one knots and a main armament of eight fifteen-inch guns. The American cruiser Constellation, the keel of which was laid In August, 1920, will be 874 feet long, of 43.500 tons displacement and will have a sped of 33.25 knots and an armament of eight sixteen-inch guns. Though the Hood at first glance appears to be more formidable than the Colorado, she Is not a battleship, but a battle cruiser and aside from her weaker gun power, her armor Is scarcely onethird the thickness of that which protects the Colorado. In addition to the six battle cruisers of the Constellation class, the naval bill of 1916 authorized six battleships of even greater size and power than the Colorado type/ They are the lowa, South Dakota, Montana, North Carolina, Indiana and Massachusetts and the keels of the lowa, Sonth Dakota and Montana have been laid. These battleships will have a length of feet, a displacement of 43,200 tons and a main battery of twelve 10lnch guns. They are believed to be the most powerful fighting ships contemplated by any nation at present. According to the best information available in naval circles.

ASSAILS U. S. LABOR BOARD Atterbury Charges Rock Throwing in Labor Affairs. CHICAGO, March 22—W. W. Afterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and labor committee chairman of the American Assoclatl >n of Railroad Executives, took the stand again today In the railroad employe wage controversy and. hammering home his point with mighty blows on a table, told tha railroad labor board that the only possible peace In railroad matters lies in permitting men and officials to get together to negotiate their own rules and working conditions. Attorney Walsh. representing the unions, and Atterbury were almost constantly clashing during the second day of the examination of the Pennsylvania official. The first conflict came over classification of employes for standardizing wages and working conditions. “It can’t >e done," Atterbury shouted. “I take it that the function of this board is to quiet, not to foment trouble. You are not pouring oil on the waters, but are throwing rocks Into It when you write rules that neither the ineti nor the officials understand. The men and the officers must understand each other and the rules and then negotiate them.”

German Propagandists Make Big Ado Over Vast Sum Demanded by Allies

BERI.JN, March 22.—-Official German propagandists are laboring to brlug home to the average German citizen the real rastness of the sum of indemnity demanded by the s’ 1e5—226,000,000,000 gold marks. The people at large have not shown any undue excitement over the extent of the allies’ demands, so the German officials decided upon a campaign to picture to them how much 226,000,000,000 gold marks ($36,500,000,000) means in reality. The Deutsche Allgemeiue Zeltung ; printed a picture of nineteen railroad , trains each made up of ears filled with j coal and each train stretching from earth to moon. Under the picture was the following reading matter: "A ton of coal U worth 20 gold marks. This means that if we were to deliver ! 226.000.000,000 gold mnrks worth of coal we would have to mine more than 11,'3OO 000.000 tons of coal, which, at the 1920 production rate in Germany, would require eighty-seven years. This amount of coal would require 730,000.000 railway j cars, or, in other words, a train so long flint it could be broken up into nineteen trains, each one loug enough to reach from this planet to the moou." j The Hamburger Neuste Nachriehten ! declares that If 226.000.000,000 gold marks j were reduced to the value of the present | paper mark, it would equal 2,468,000,- | 600,000 papor marks.

Thrift Wave Sweeps U. S., Says Banker Head of 4 Morris Plan’ Sees Readjustment Through Saving Habit Among Earners. NEW YORK, March 22.—Americans are saving more money than ever before. This spirit of thrift which is the most important factor in complete restoration of industrial stability is being developed with Increasing rapidity. These statements were made by Arthur J. Morris, head of the Morris plan system of industrial banking, in an interview today. "The seemingly impossible feats accomplished by the United States during the war were largely the result of selfdenial by our people," Morris said. “They are beginning to learn that they must apply the same principle to the present period of reconstruction. The country will get back to normal in just the ratio that every one employs the common sense and character he showed during the war. “During the recent era of labor shortage and high wages many persons literally threw their money away. They suffered for it. Now even those who earn lees than they did are saving money. “The workers will come to the realization that they must accept wage reductions. There can be no real decrease in the cost of living until this is done, for wages are the chief element In the cost of production. When wages are back to their proper level, and freight rates are reduced, we will find that the solid prosperity we are looking for wiH follow." Morris might be regarded as one of the best authorities on the financial status of American wage earners. Ten years ago he established the “Morris plan," whereby persons In moderate circumstances could obtain credit up to $5,000 with their character and earning ability as sole security.

“Since the birth of Jesus Christ 60,549.200,000 seconds of time have elapsed. Therefore. Germany must pay for every second that elapsed since the birth of Christ the sum of three and one-half marks—and In forty-two years, at that.” “If Germany were to pay in paper money, how long would It take to print it?” asked the pamphlet, “The Paris Demand and Our Future." This pamph’et was put out to convince the people that the allies' demand was not only wrong, but impossible of fulfillhient. “The present machines used In printing print two bills at one operation,” said the pamphlet. “Each note requires ten printing operations and a machine delivers about 6,000 notes a day. At this rate It would take a single press 100,000 years to print enough money to pay indemnity In German currency. Or, If it must he paid In forty-tw’o years, more than 2,000 printing presses would have to be employed.' ALLIES APPROVE GERMAN LEVY.

ONE’S WILL FOR RIGHT CROWDS SIN, SAYSGIPSY Evartgelist’s Noon-Day Appeal at Keith’s Met by Many Responses. LARGE CROWD ATTENDS f — ; Home Run Drives by Gipsy Smith "When yon want people to come out to the polls on election day yon go after them in flag-decked automobiles, but when you want them to coine to church all you do Is ring a bell and sometimes you don't do that.” "If a man who Is down in the gutter tonight should decide to start over again he wouldn’t go to your swell church.” "If Jesus Christ should come to some churches he could accomplish nothing until conditions were changed." "I would rather see 5,000 Church officers make good than liave 10,000 conversions. “There is no incompatibility between culture and evangelism, Jesus Christ was the most perfect gentleman and the greatest evangelist. “If you are a church officer and yon won't be saved, you had better use some common sense and resign."" . In what was termed one of the most successful of the coon meetings conducted at Keith's Theater since the haginning of the revival meetings, Gipsy Smith, the evangelist, told his audience that when one wills to do right one's sins will leave. Probably more conversions were obtained during the meeting today than in any of the other noon day services. “There ars none too bad for Jesus,” said the evangelist. “The devil may give up on some persons, but Jesus never gives np. “Don't blame any one but yourself *.f you are bad. A man must consent to evil. He must consent even to the will of the devil, so don’t blame any one but yourself if you are not good, for you may prefer it. "When you capitulate, when you submit to the will of God, then you’re saved. You’re not a child of the devil because God willed il_ Yu can leave the devil any time you will it. “You can come to Jesus any time you will It. Nothing can he done until your will submits ” O. W. KIFEB SPEAKS. The Re“. O. W. Flfcr. pastor of the Central Avenue Methodist Church, spoke before Gipsy Smith. Ho spoke on the power of one to come to God and outlined some of the reasons why many fail to reach conversion and go to church. One of the reasons the Rev. Mr. Fifer told was the dishonesty of men toward God. These persons, he said, know the truth, but refuse to admit It. Others, lie said, are cowards, lacking the courage to renounce their sins hikl receive salvation. Still others are afraid to renounce their worldly ways and to mo Into the church because of the fear that they w ould 10. <s some of the things of the world. The theater's firs*, floor and balcony were filled to capacity during today's meeting GOES AFTER fill KCHES IN NIGHT SERMON. Gipsy Smith went after the churches last night and showed them wherein they could be made houses of God In fact as well as In name. The meeting was especially for church of fleers, who nearly filled the big tabernacle. before the general public was admitted. At the close of the sons signed pledges declaring they would henceforth lend Christian lives. The meeting was declared by the evangelist to be by far the most successful he has held In Indlsnnpolis thus far. Gipsy Smith started his talk with the reading of several verses frgm the Fourth chapter of Acts, concerning the establishment of the first New Testament church. "These first church members didn’t go to church to make prayer*; they prayed,’’ he declared. “They didn’t simply go through a form. It was fellowship with God. When you hoar anybody telling the Lord all he is and going through an essay before he asks for anything you know there is a lot of rubbish between that individual and tho Lord God he Is praying to. “These early Christian* weren’t taken by surprise when, something happened (Continued on Rage Two.)
