Eyes On White House
I By United Press .
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The nation's attention is now riv-
jefed on the "White House for the next move in ther peace treaty bat
tle, triends of the president not believing he will swallow defeat. It
is understood the president is working on a statement to the people
telling them of the chaos that confronts the world as a result of
treaty failure; that it is victory for Bolshevism and Germany and
putting the blame on the leaders of the opposition in the senate. One
of the first moves expected will be the formal withdrawal of the
treaty from congress, where it has been laid on the table so that it
may be presented again.
Without the "Big Brother" Nation
By United Press
PARIS, Nov. 20. The supreme council has decided that the
peace treaty will become effective December 1st. The nations which
have accepted the treaty will exchange formal ratifications in time
for the pact to become effective on that date. ;
b ranee, christened the vessel, bhe is
the daughter of Governor Stephens.
The California has twelve 14-inch
guns, 'four submerged torpedo tubes,
twenty-five- two-inch rapid-fire guns,
four six-pounds, two one-pounders,
four three-inch anti-aircraft guns and
other guns of small caliber.
The ship will be manned by 1,022 men
and fifty-eight officers.
The keel of the California was laid
October 25, 1916, but- during the war
work was diverted to smaller vessels to
combat submarines. The work was rap
idly completed after fighting ceased.
The dimensions of the ship are :
Length over all, 624 feet ; breadth, 96
feet ; depth, 47 feet, 2 inches mean
draught, 30 feet, 5 inches ; displacement,
32,000 tons. She will make twenty-one
knots and has a normal fuel capacity of
1,900 tons.
The California is a veritable electric
al ship. From firing of guns to venti
lation, all is done electrically.
Her protection is said by naval ex
perts to approximate 30 per cent over
the best of pre-war battleships.

the free government that called her into

justice and stands for liberty under
law. This great triumph of the build

of a country that never lowered her col

ficers and men whose love of country is
deep, sincere and mastering. And as
she goes out through our own Golden

to the splendid traditions of a navy that
has always been ready when called."
