DEFIANCE NOW AWAITS LIPTON One of Three American Cup De fenders Slides In Water Mon day-!? a Dandy Hath. Me., May 12.-The Defiance, one of the three yachts which will see tue honor of defending the American cup in the races against Slr Thomas Lipton's challenger next fall, was launched from her builder's yards hero Monday afternoon. She was launched haw first instead of stern 'first, as is customary. ? This was the second of the three boata to get into the water. The H?so!ute, owned by a syndicate of Kew York Yacht club members, took her maiden plunge at Bristol, R. I" two weeks ago, while the Vunltie which is being built at Boston for Sir Alexan der Smith" Cochran, la on hor ways. Tile Defianco carries the aspirations of fifteen yachtsmen. It is called the trl-city yacht, since the syndicate of owners is made7 up from eight men of Boston, BIX from New York and one from Philadelphia. George M. Pyn chon of New York, E. Walter Clark of Philadelphia and Henry Taggard ot Boston, were the prime movers, al though Mr. Taggart Is acting as an agent for another Boston yachtsman, who docs not desire his identity known.' Mr. Pynchon ts the manager and Mr. (Mark la the treasurer of the syndicate. George Owen of Newton, Mass., net ed for his success in turning out rac ing boats was selected designer and for the first in the history of the Am erican cup the state of Maine vas gi v. en an opportunity to regain the ?u premecy of the seas once held by Bath clippers..- The contract of the con structlon of the Defiance was awarded to the Bath Iron works. . It was decided to make the boat of composite construction, with steel frames, and n double wooden skin, the Inner of Douglas fir and the outer of Gaboon m?bogany. The lead keel was MM on January 9. To those familiar with yachts and yachting, the Defiance appears to dif fer but little from her two competitors for. cup defending honors She a dis tinctly a modern yacht, with a mode Black bilges, full gar boards and a keel which resembles the old fin type, but ls considerably thicker, with some 60 tons or lead on the bolton;. She ls longer and wider than the Resolute tmd her draught is practically > the same-. The feature of the Defiance is In ber rig. The mast ls well forward of tho tenter. In fact about half way between the center and the lead bow. She will, therefore, set v. single low Jib, while her main sail will be the largest of the' three boats. Her rig ls aleo very lofty and tor the races scheduled off Sandy Hook in mid-June the Defiance will Rave to douse her topmast in passing undor the East'River bridges a* New York In her passas; from sea to seri.

With a fine cut of Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, on one side of, the page, and an equally fine cut of 1 Howard A. Banks, private secretary to Secretary Daniels on tlte other. The ' New York Tribune of Sunday gives an entertaining account of the manner in which th?se two newspaper men have evolvel the best Bystem of supplying the war news that the . government . has yet known. And this is how they do it: "Mr. Secretary, thar S are reports around that that condl'ons in Mexico City aro serious. Can you find out for us whether or not these reports ure true?" . "Why yes, I'll do so at once, Banks send a telegram to Admiral Fletcher, asking him to transmit immediately a report on conditions in the City of Mexico." This brief conversation took place at 1 o'clock the other morning be tween Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the navy and one of the newspaper men stationed in the State. War and Navy Building at Washington. It was only one of the many little conversations of the kind that have occured there since the conflict be-1 tween Mexico and the United States | began two or three weeks ago, anrt j thay si! go to prov? t)u* survival nf th*> I newspaper man In ti.e Tar Heel stat? 1 member of President Wilson's ofllcial family. If. lt hadn't been for Josephus Dan iels, Secretary of the Navy and manag lng editor of the Raliegh News and Ob server, the greater part of the infor- < znatlon which has been given promptly 1 to the American people concerning thc conditions nt Vera Crpz, Tampico and other parts, would in all probablllity have not been made known until the lapse of time had robbed lt of its freshness. When the fleet was ordered to Vera Cruz and exciting tilings began to hap-1 pen, Mr. Daniels forgot at intervals j that be was secretary of the navy and j he became the managing editor of the Wilson administration. His newspa- ! per training told him that thc people were hungry for news of Mexico, and | he ftt once set to work to give it to them as quickly Ss possible. He at once organized his fores as the managing editor of a daily newspa per would. He made Howard A. Banks, his private secretary: k McH. Howe, private secretary to the Assist ant Secretary of the Navy and Frank Smith lils confidential clerk, associate editors charged with th? task of dis tributing the news ss quickly as lt arrived there to the. group of walting newspaper men. Admiral : Fl?tcher and' Admiral Badger and the officers and sailors of the American licet were made the reporters, and it wasn't vifery long before detailed and c?mplete ac counts of what was happening in Mex. ICO Was being distributed iroiii thc Navy Department. The system for distributing this in formation was interesting. Most of the news so far has come from Vera Cruz, which ia 3,000, miles, away from. Washington, but the system for dis trihutlnv it anA roroluln? it vuau mun complete that one could almost con verse with the admiral on the other end of.the wire. A telegraph office is just outside the door of the office of Secretary Daniels. Within two minutes after a telegram ls received, ft ls turned over to either MT. Banks, Mr. Howell or Mr. Smith, who take turns oh watch. It is then turned over to Captain Mark L. Bristol and Commander Wil liam D. Leahy, the consors who got over it quickly. They hold out only parts of the telegram which may con cern strategy or something of that kind and In a few minutes lt ls turned over to a stenographer, who quickly mimeographs lt and bands it over to newspaper men. The average the re ceipt of. a telegram from -,\-~t.v??r??? Fletcher or Admiral Badger at the tel. cgraph office and th J distribution of copies of lt to the newspaper men has not been more than Ia minutes. While, of course. Mr. D?niera expe.a. Since with the newspaper men has en the reason for the excellent ser vice, nevertheless, it would not have berm so successful had lt not been for the assistance of Mr.- Banks and the new-paper men and of-Mr. Smith, who had had considerable experience in the publicity work at the Democratic Na. tional headquarters" In New York. Mr. Banks was at rn?^tlme editor of the Hickory Democrat, ir? North carolina, while Mr. Howe covered Albany. for a New York paper. & nm glad to know," said Secretary Daniela, when he had been compliment tel od the way he had been h a ntl) Inc; the news from Mexico for the Wash ington corr?spondeatf,.
