American Guns Ahead.

Despite our ludicrous lack of army orga-
nization and naval equipment, we are rap
idly taking front rank in the production Of
the most improved materials and appli-
ances for modern warfare. 1t is probably
our inexhaustlble fertility in this direction,
more than anything else. that causes foreign
powers to regard US with a very healthy de-
gree OF respect, as possible antagonist likely
to provo disastrously formidable if once
aroused. And our well-xnown national
characteristics of alert quickness in action.
and daredevil fearlessness, serve to deter
them from presuming upon our peaceful
disposition. They understand that we are
quite capable of doing incalculable damage
should we ones direct our energies to that
purpose with a VIII
Tests Of armor plate at Annapolis Mon
day last demonstrated two important facts:
That the modern improved American high
power rified gun is wonderfully effective,
and that the Cammeu steel armor plate
upon which the English navy has so long
relied for the protection of Britain's great
battlesnips. is powerless to resist our rified
guns, even when they are loaded with
foreign-nade projectiles, not so powerful as
some Of our own.

English battle-shIps and made by Cammell

Though deeply indented, the plate, which
was tempered with a per cent infusion Of
nickel and lined with iron, did not crack.
Both plates were bolted TO ten inches of
solid oak backing to give them, as nearly as
possible, the same resistance as the side of a
ship. Similar experiments were made
abroad with similar results. That Ameri-
can made plates could not be had for the
test is to be regretted. II would have made
the result much more satisfactory. But the
experiments suffice to show that the best

Now our armorers should turn their atten-
tion to making plate that will defy for
eign proJectiles.

CircumyentinR SmokeIesa Powder.


One of the summers exercises at
Aldershot has been what is called the
infantry smoke attack. An advanced
line carries with it certain material
packed in cases, which, when lighted,
creates dense smoke, and under its
cover the main body goes forward,
screened from the exact aim Of the
enemy until within short range of the
latter. An antidote for one character.
istic feature of smokeless powders Is
thus provided almost before they have
come into general use. While the
French are said to consider the tactical
changes demanded by the new powders
as sufficiently important to require RS
vision of their drill book, and while q
German cavalry expert doubts whether
1t will be possible hereafter to do as
much as hitherto with mounted troops
against infantry, from the lack ofclouds
of smoke to conceal the advance, new
smoke producers are already being pro
vided. 1t is familiar experience that
when either the attack or the defense in
the art of war obtains new advantage,
the other side invents something WITH
which to counteract it; but in this in.
stance OF the Aidershot smoke cases the
response comes with unusual prompt.
