Portsmouth, Feb. 10.—The monBter

when finished, will coBt seven and a
half million dollars, was launched by
King Edward here today.
The ceremony was the most simple

months ago, work was commenced at
Portsmouth on tie vessel, the first
of what' is.''to fee known as- ; tiie
“Dreadnaught” class.- The promise
-Was made tliqh- that shjB. wojild..be

miralty has more than made good
its boast, and Britishers have another
cause for pride In their navy. An
other twelve months, all going well,
the "Dreadnaught" will be commis

beating all previous records in battle

feattleshlps built In the last thirty-
years, the new addition to the fleet
will carry no weapon smaller than the
