IT PIERCES STEEL!
NOTWITHSTANDING SHELL HAS
BEEN TESTED.
Unauthenticated Telegram Not Sufficient
For Arrest National Christian League
Discusses Certain Phases of Divorce TO
Promote Social Purity.

Washington, March 23.-Two tests
took place at the proving grounds at
Indian Head today, one Of Wheeler
Sterling projectiles and Of Hurst gun.
The first was eminently successful
but the latter was a disappointment
The projectile test was Of 1S-inch
shell, one Of lot of 400 furnished by
the Misunderstanding steel company.
By the terms Of the specifications the
selected shell was required to pass
through a seven inch nickel steel plate
without being broken up. It was fired
with a striking velocity Of 500 feet per
second, and passed through the plate
and sank about ten feet into the butt
behind it, whence 1t was dug out prac-
tically uninjured. This shot decided
the acceptance Of the lot These shells
are of forged steel and have large
chamber which contains a bursting
charge of sixty pounds Of powder when
in actual service. In the tests the
place Of the powder Is taken by sand
SO as to secure the proper weight.
The second test Of the day consisted
Of experiments with the Hurst gun. for
the purpose Of ascertaining the veloc-
ity obtainable with ii for given charges
The projectiles used weighed 200 pounds
and the total powder charge about lS5
poun s. An ordinary service gun OF
the same calibre would give velocity
of about $500 feet with this charge
The Hurst gun has the powder divided
into two parts, one of them in pri-
mary charge Of ten pounds for starting
the projectile and the other a main
charge Of 175 psunds for giving it Its
velocity. At previous tests velocity
Of 2,400 feet was obtained but it was
suspected that part of the projectile
was broken off by the discharge, and
that it was thus so much reduced in
weight that these figures were unduly
high. At the test today two shots
were fired with resulting velocities OF
2,0SS and 2,096 feet, the second powder
charges being It's and III pounds res
pectively. These results are considered
very poor and as the gun is more diff.
cult to handle and the ammunition
more awkward to prepare and load
there will probably be no further tests

ground to listen for something that
will save them, have heard the free
