new gun shields were tested the other

subjected to severe tests and scored
splendid success.
Gen. Miles said that the company's
own designed shields are an improve
mont on all others. There were two
shields Of Kruppized nrmor, three
inches thick, and they were fred on
by thrce-inch guns half dozen times
without effect. A fvc-inch gun, how
ever, sent a 5o-pound projectilc clear
through one.
The experiment test was conducted
by Lieut.. Mcigs, the company's ord

the hope that the government will
