prior to the election, especially If they in

carry the matter over “until after the

more of delay can be airanged without
serious and fh oity.
Another matter that la to go over “un

and that delay In recefpt of the piata
would mean the serious deterioration of
the frame# and hulls of the vessels. In
#h6rt. the demand for the quick delivery
of the armor was urgent. And nobody was
In a position to supply It but the trust.
Now it is announced that the contract
