Novel Test of Battieship at Indian
Head Grounds.
The new battleship Iowa Will keep out the

That was the conclusion drawn yesterday
from one OF the most important tests ever
made at the government proving ground at
Indian Head.
Since the equipment of modern hattIeships
with heavy armor. there has been. incertain
quarters, a question as to whether the frame
work Of ships so armored could resist the
crushing force OF a blow from one OF the
big guns even though the armor itself was
capable Of keeping the pro1ectile out.
Hitherto all tests of aTmOT have been
made against unyielding wooden butts.
Yesterday the United States, for the first
time since the use of modern guns and
modern armor egban experiments 70 deter
mine the actual strain and injury to which
a battleship would be subjected il struck
by a proJectIle.
For that purpose side a rmor plate IF the
battleship 10 wa. now building tthe Cramps
yards in Philadelphia, was fitted upon an
actual reproduction Of a section OF the ship.
Besides the test was TO determine the
feasibility of using a new armor bolt
devised by the ordnance board to take
the place OF the long expensive bolts now
employed.
The Importance of the test was of such
| interest that Secretary Herbert himself
went down the river to witness it and there
were more than the usual number OF officers
