WASHINGTON. Jan. 17. (/P)—A
new era in United Staes naral histo
ry fully dawned at the end of the
year of 1927 when the archaic coal
burning battleship, born more than
a century ago through the inventive
genius of Robert Fulton, became a
thing of the eventful past.
Three dreadnaughts, the Utah, the
Wyoming, and the New York which
in their days have consumed un
known quantities of coal, remain to
be modernized. They will have a
new set of innards—namely, oil-burn
ing furnaces to place them on a par
with other first-rate ships of the
fleets. When they are turned out of
drydock they will mark fulfillment
of a program inaugurated more than
10 years ago when oil was determin
ed more desirable as a ship fuel.

Early in the World War when this
country was a neutral, Ambassador
Francis had conducted relief work
among the German and Austrian pri
soners in Russia. Late in 1926, when
the United States was representing
both the German and Austrian inter
ests in Russia, Ambassador Francis
delivered a German peace proposal
to the Russian government.
When the German army was ap
proaching eight miles of Petrograd
Mr. Francis and his staff left that
capital and went to Vologda where
he remained for a time. Later he
proceeded to Archangel and maintain
ed relations with a new Russian gov-'
eminent there. The Ambassador left ]
Archangel in October, 1918, for Lon-!
don. to undergo a minor operation.
lie was summoned from London to
a conference with Secretary of State j
Lansing then attending the Peace!
Conference in Paris to discuss Rus-j
sian problems. While there, he de-'
dared that the majority of the Rus
sian people were loyal to the Entente.
Born October 1, 1850, in Richmond,
Ky., Mr. Francis went to St. Louis in
1866. He was graduated from Wash
ington University, in 1870. The hon
orary degree of Doctor of Laws ‘was j
conferred on him by three universi-'
ties. Starting his career as a clerk
he later became president of a grain
merchant’s corporation. He was elect
ed mayor of St. Louis in 1885 on the
Democratic ticket. In 1889 he was
elected governor of the State of Miss
ouri, and President of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Company which
conducted the World’s Fair at St.
Louis. In 1905 he was sent to Europe
by the World’s Fair directors to thank
kings, emperors and other rulers for
their part in making the exposition a
success. For his work in conducting
the fair he was decorated by the em
peror of Germany* and Austria and the
Queen of the Netherlands.
Mr. Francis was the owner of the
St Louis Republic which suspend
ed publication in December, 1919, hav
ing been purchased by the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. In 1876 he married
Miss Jane Perry, daughter of John
D. Perry, of St. Louis. They had
six sons.
