AMERICAN GUNS.
According to General FlagIer's Report
They are the Best In the world.
Especial 10 TnE WonLD.

WASHINGTON, November 5.--Briga-
der General d. w. Flagler, chief Of
ordnance, in his annual report to the
Secretary Of War, favors anappropria-
ton for testing, as soon as possible, a
gun Of 16-inch caliber. Among his
estimates made are For steel Pinch
sea-coast mortars, 1925, 900 for their
carriages, $449, 800 for carriages for
new s, 10 and l2-inch guns, 81 sos,
600 for enlargement Of the heavy gun
carriage plant at WATERFOWL, Mass.
$l51 600; for armor-piercing proiec-
tiles, $4,000; deck-piercing 12-inch
shells, 100000 alteration of Is and
16-inch carriages, 100000.
Americans, he thinks, can make the
best small arms in the world. The
report says reports Of foreign ser
vice Indicate that continuous rapid FIR
ing may not be expected in the use Of
the magazine gun, as it Is limited by
the endurance of the soldier and the
heating Of the gun. Reports from our
army show that an expert soldier can
fire the present service Springfield
single-loader with the accuracy gener-
ally needed in action, about twenty
times per minute. So far as rapidity
of fire alone is concerned, these reports
reduce somewhat the almost universal
ly estimated necessity for an imme-
date change to magazine system.
Ii is important to stats that, up to the
present time, the Investigations made
and knowledge gained by this depart
ment have not demonstrated So much
excellence in the magazine arms which
have been adopted BY foreign nations
as was expected, and have not shown
such perfection in any one Of them as
could warrant its adoption for our SER
vice. 1t is. hoped that this country
can produce better arm, and, until
it can, or certainly until it has been
demonstrated that it cannot, it would
be wise to defer change from the ex
cellent single-loader now in service to
a magazine system. No efforts viii
be spared to arrive at satisfactory
magazine ARM
The new caliber 80 Springfield is
said to have been very successful with
smokeless powder.
