HSb* ! Said to Be Under Construction.?1 fife. Inch Guns. Sea Power, the organ of the Navy; league of the United States, says a Washington dispatch to the New York Times, will make the statement editorially in its issue of this week that j "it is hardly to be doubtful that Great Britain is preparing a surprise for the world in the way of a battleship bigger and better than any existing type." This opinion is based on information received from abroad. The navy department, according to Sea Power, is said to have received rumors that Great Britain is building one or more; battleships of 40,000 tons displace-' ment. "It is reported," says Sea Power,; "that Great Britain is installing eigh-; teen-inch guns on her latest type of ) battleship. We are informed also that a reliable observer, recently returned from England, saw under construction there a battleship (or bat-j a x * a* ' tie cruiser:) larger man anvuims building or contemplated elsewhere, so far as he knew, but it was fenced: in and he could learn very little about it. "The navy department, it is said,j has received rumors that Great Bri-i tain is building one or more battleships of 40,000 tons' displacement. It is believed that, if this be true, these vessels will probably carry batCiJ, teries of ten eighteen-inch guns. "For the United States, just entering upon a period of naval expansion, this news is of extreme importance. While it is too late to modify the designs of those ships of our program, which are to be laid down almost immediately, the designs of the remaining ships contemplated, but not yet appropriated for, including ond + Tl' r\ hottln pruic. DXA UCltUCOlllj/O uuu c ?? v mmvvav v* ers, should be such as to make them superior to anything building or contemplated abroad. "The general board is said to be considering the characteristics of these contemplated battleships and that probably vessels of about 38.000 tons, mounting twelve 16-inch guns, would be favored. Since the last preceding design calls for ships of 32,000 tons, carrying only eight 1 6-inch guns, the projected ships would be 50 per cent, stronger in battery power, a very satisfactory increase and a cause for congratulation were it not for these rumors from abroad of bigger and probably more powerful ships."

Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 8.?The Hearst i papers have been placed under the' ban in Canada. These publications j have been prohibited from circula-' tion from Saturday next. The heavy I ! ripnalties of the war measures act. will apply to any one having them in possession after that date. Facilities are also denied the International News Service. An explanatory memorandum, issued this afternoon, says: "The postmaster general of Canada has issued a warrant under the provisions of the war measures act whereby the Hearst papers have been refused the privilege of the mails in Canada and are prohibited from circulation in Canada in any way. "No person in Canada is to be permitted after Saturday next to be in possession of the newspapers or of j any issues of them and any person in j possession of them shall be liable to a fine not exceeding five thousand j dollars, or imprisonment for any term j not exceeding five years or both fine j and imprisonment." m i Mr. Elmore's Successor. ______ Columbia, Nov. 2.?Comptroller j General Sawyer stated today that he j had appointed Mr. R. L. Osborne, of j Anderson county, auditing clerk, to | succeed Mr. Elmore in the office. The following promotions have been made by Mr. Sawyer: Jonn s. u urien, 01; Charleston, chief clerk; W. V. Suth-j errand, of Columbia, bookkeeper. It is said that an elm tree will live 600 years; it is in its prime; when 150 years old. ed States should not build the limit at once. "It is only necessary," it says, "to recall here that the limit in size, for the American navy, is that imposed by the limiting dimensions of the Panama canal locks: that such a vessel would be of about 60,000 tons displacement; that she could carry a large battery of 20-inch guns; that she could be given very superior armor protection; mat maximum yiutection against torpedo attack could be provided; and that she could have nearly the speed of a battle cruiser. "In all probability, we could bring to a conclusion, for a time at least, the mad race for naval armament if we boldly decided to create the limit, j so far as we can realize it in all types of naval craft and equipment."

I Most Destructive of All Cotton Pests : B Discovered in Northern Mexico. I Washington, Nov. 4.?The pinkli boll worm, most destructive cotton j S pest known, has appeared for the K first time in North America. The de-jl partment of agriculture announced E today that worms had been discover-;B ed in Northern Mexico, where their . J presence, the department says in an official announcement, "constitutes one of the greatest menaces which has come to the American industry in its history." Importation from j Mexico of cotton seed, cotton seed hulls and seed cotton is prohibited! under an order issued late today. Discovery of the worm was an-; nounced in the following statement: "The pink boll worm, the most de-l structive of known pests of cotton has; been discovered in the Laguna dis-| trict, Coahula, Mexico, within 2001 miles of the Texas border. Amend-; ments to quarantine orders and regu-1 lations effective immediately, havej been promulgated by the secretary of j agriculture, prohibiting the importa-i tion into the United States of cotton seed, cotton seed hulls and seed cot- j ton from the territory in Mexico from j which shipments heretofore have been permitted, and requiring that; Mexican lint cotton destined for the United States be imported through j certain northern ports remote from American cotton fields. ; It's First Appearance.

The pest; is prevalent in practically all other cotton producing regions of the I world, and in all sections where it! has become established has caused widespread destruction. Its estab-i lishment in Northern Mexico consti- r tutes one of the greatest menaces; which has come to the American cot-( ton growing industry in its history. "Every possible precaution will be' taken to prevent the worms from get-! ting across the border. All cotton interests are warned of the danger: which threatens the industry and are urged to give the utmost assistance; to the federal authorities in preventing any movement in violation of these rules governing movement of! cotton seed, cotton seed hulls, seed cotton or cotton lint from Mexico in-! to the United States. j T j Japan has a shipbuilding yard still! in operation which was established j nineteen hundred years ago.
