P.e :V AROUND V/ORLO THE NAVY WREL Hew York Paper Prints Sensa tional Article. New York, April 30.—The World prints the following story: The navy department has an nounced that the sixteen battleships which made the trip around the world are to be remodeled, thus practically confirming the reports current since the return of the fleet that the voy age practically wrecked the navy. Since the return of the fleet it has been reported at various times that masts had been sprung, plates loos ened and that the intricate electrical machinery, including the fire control was hopelessly out of order and other things had happened. Nevertheless, the navy department insists the ships stood the voyage better than expect ed, which leaves to the imagination what the original expectation or feai had been. It is proposed to make of the six teen battleships a type something like the old Monitor, save that the nev type will have more freeboard. A1 the cumbersome superstructure v/hict at pi- sent adorns the battleships an which affords a splendid mark to th enemy's guns will be taken off. All that will appear above the deck will be a turret fore and aft and th funnels for boilers and the wlr "waste basket" type of mast, whicl will be used for the lookouts. It Is fine food for the critics of thi navy department that of the twentj five first class battleships in the nav only four are in condition for service They point out the fact that the Amer lean citizens in Asiatic Turkey ar. compelled to look for protection ot their lives and interests to such Brit lsh battleships as are in tbft ilcdilu ranean waters.
