BIGGEST WARSHIP TO BE RAID DOWN Quincy, Mass.. June 14.?The keel o? the world's bigest warship will bo laid down here within six months. The battlecruiser Lexington, combining: in a degree unequalled by any ship of war now built or building the 1 qualities of powerful armament and 1 high speed, has taken form in drawings and awaits the arrival of materials to be advanced from the hands of th<3 architect to those of the builder. By fall, it is estimated, the prospective queen of the United States navy win become a ship under construction instead of an ambitious plan. The Lexington is the nameship of a class of battlecruisers which will give Uncle Sam within four years a fleet of six big gun fighting ships unmatched by anything then afloat. Her sister ships, the Constellation, Saratoga, Ranger, Constitution and United States, are also under contract. They bring names out of the old navy with which to develop for the first new capital ' vessels of the post war fleet a traditional background for fresh exploits. With the others of its class, the Lexington will be a whale of a ship. It will displace 4 3,200 tons and will have the p.ower of 180,000 horses, as .measured in mechanical terms.

The 101.4 feet of, width of the Lexington will make that floating gun platform broader than any passenger ship. 1 The ^Lexinjg^on; which is 'to be equipped with electric drive, "will attain a speed of 35 knots. This cruiser speed, higher than that of mjany destroyers, is the object of much of tho designing that entered into the crea tion of the Lexington c^ass. Armor will be sacrificed to make possible the 35 knot speed?the main belt being only five inches thick at its maximum as compared with the 12 inch steel belt on most battleships, but armamenet will be of tremendous power. The Lexington thus will have not only the strategic advantage of high speed but will be able to fire a heavier charge over a greater distance than any other battleship for which the plans are known. The Lexington in action will speak with a voice of 16-inch guns, of which she will have eight. The navies of Great Brltian, France and Italy contain no gun greater than 15 inches, and that of Japan includes 16inch guns only, on battleships of 24 knot speed which are now under construction. Unlike the dreadnought class reliance on big guns exclusively, the Lexington will carry 16 six inch guns as a secondary armament. Taking a page from the naval lessons of the war, the designers of the Lexington have equipped the ship with four anti-aircraft guns, eight torpedo tubes, four of which are submerged and four on deck and ;vlth means of defense against aerial bombs and aerCONTRACTORS SUPPLIES? !
