NEW GUN A REcoRD-BREAKER.
No Armor in the World Able to Re
sist It, Say Naval Experts.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington. Nov. 1S.--rhe tests of
the new twelve-inch naval gun within
the last three days have resulted in
some remarkable performances, entit-
ling the gun to rank ahead of any of
the twelve-inch guns thus far made in
this country or abroad. 1t was known
that the tests had been most success
full, but it was not until Admiral
O'Neil received today from Lieutenant
Strauss. commandant of the Indian
Head proving ground. the detailed re-
port of the tests, that it was known
that the monster weapon had eclipsed
all former records for velocity and
power. With a charge of $50 pounds
of smokeless powder giving a pressure
of sixteen and Il half tons to the square
inch, the gun gave a muzzle velocity
of 2,S54 feet second. Professor Alger,
the naval expert, says this is the high
est velocity ever attained by a twelve
inch gun, the record thus far ranging
from $500 to 1900 feet, With an $50
pound steel-tipped projectile the big
gun would pierce any armor ever
made. 1t is the first of forty guns
which will go on the new battleships
and armOred cruisers.
