In the cemeteries in and around s
Richmond are buried many of the ]
makers of American history. It is t
doubtless true that nowhere else are ?
there grouped so many of nation's 1
immortal heroes. The cemeteries of t
most general interest are Hollywood,
Oakwood, Shoakoe, St. John's and i
the National cemeteries., 1
On Cherry street, between Spring 5
and Albemaryle, Hollywood cemetery
was dedicated in 1849. It takes its
name from the holly trees which a- '
bound here. It^ is one of the most
beautiful spots in the South and the
view is magnificent. President Mon- '
roe and President Tyler are buried
here.

SCRAPPING OF SHIPS t
WOULD SAVE MILLIONS
I Senator Kelley Says Taxpayers
Would Save $150,000,000 to I
$200,000,000 a YearT t
3 Representaitve Kelley of Michigan c
' Chairman of the sub-committee on e
1 naval affairs of the Committee on t
Appropriations, said Saturday: . |
1 "The proposal is to scrap all old c
* ships up to the Delaware. That
1 means we would have seventeen or
' .19 dreadnoughts, most of which ^
are not over six or eight years old.
' We have recently added three ships t
which are the most powerful in the
world. The plan would leave Japan
with a proportionate strength that
would not exceed 40 per cent of ^
' ours. When we were through with ^
canceling the 1916 program we *
" should save $150,000,000 a year, *
and perhaps $200,000,000. Even if ^
we saved $150,000,000 annually the
* investment would be enormous.
"This year we spent $410,000,000
on the navy, of which $90,000,000
was for construction. That
1 leaves $320,000,000, and I believe
we could cut this sum in half for annual
maintenance after the expense
of scrapping the 1916 program was
through. That cancellation would
cost about $300,000,000 in addition
to the $332,000,000 the Secretary
I mentioned today. The $300,000,000
I would go for cancelled claims.
I
"We have one type of ship far in
excess of what we would be permitted
to keep?the destroyer. We have
300 new destroyers, and we would .
be allowed to retain seventy-five or
100. All are new. I believe we could
find a market for the temaining &00,
perhaps in the South American countries.
"Under" the new plan it seems to
me we would have about 30,000 to
35,000 men in our navy, whereas we
have today about 106,000."
Mr. Kelley said he believed many
of the 10,000 officers now in the
navy would resign if they had this
opportunity to do so. He stated that
the surplus of officers under the
, greatly reduced personnel could be
used, in many instances, where civiIlians
now are employed. Congress,
he sueeested. misrht reduce from -
