MENACE TO NAVY.
Bursting of Guns on BattIeship low,
Raises Question of safety OF
Other Cannon

The accident which occurred the
other day on the battleship Iowa,
when the muzzles of the two eight.
inch guns were blown OFF. is fraught
with great menace to the navy, it is
said. II may mean that the bulk of
the big guns on ships now in commits
sion and which were designed for the
use Of old-fashioned brown powder,
cannot worked with the more ener=
getic and cratic smokeless powder
with certain safety. The muzzle of a
12-inch gun on the Iowa was blown off
last March, and its huge fragments,
ripping up the forecastle, killed sew
eral seamen. The board which spent
months in examination of that gun
never ascertained the precise cause,
but a popular theory always has been
that the gun was too weak to stand the
heavy explosion of smokeless powder.
Many officers think positive demon
stration that these guns are too weak
for smokeless powder will render it
imperative to replace with new and
stronger guns the eight-inch guns on
the Alabama, Kearsarge, Kentucky,
Indiana, Oregon, Massachusetts, and
Olympia, which are similar in con-
struction to the guns damaged on ,he
Iowa.
A board has been appointed to in
vestigate the accident, and it is not
improbable a court of inquiry will be
obtained later.

IF TIE JAPS LOSE.
They Say In Yokohama That They
VIII blow Up Their Ships
Rather Than Surrender.

Despite the lesson of the Boer war,
the Japanese did very little open or
der and extended formation wora in
their last maneuvers. but operated N
solid masses as trim and right angled
as though shaped with a spirit level.
When Field Marshal Marquis Yama-
gaia was asked il Japan would not
change her field tactics TO suit the
conditions Of modern fighting. he re-
piled:
Japan will reveal her tactics in bat
tie. Be sure that they will be those
necessary 10 insure victory"
This was not the self-confidence Of
the unbeaten warrior. but the express
sion Of the only spirit Japan knows,
for she never considers defeat even as
a remote possibility. writes a Yoko-
hama correspondent of the London
Daily Mail.
From the crews Of the huge Mikasa
and her sister battleships down to the
men on such craft as the White-naped
pedo deStroyers-they are swearing by
every ancestor that they will sink or
capture each consonantly named Rus
sian warship in the Pacific. And do
they not contemplate a possible de-
feat. Yes, but capture no. Never viii
a japanese ship, high or low, go into
port A prize.
When the turrets are jammed and
the big guns dumb, when the screws
are still and all defense Is dead and
done. the men chosen by lot before Jlc
beginning of action will from their sta.
ton in tie heart OF the ship perform
the last fun measure of devotion" in
exploding the magazines, and the lG-
petaled chrysanthemum on the i'm

WARS BENEFIT RACE.
tages Which Would Gene from
Universal Peace.

Is the preservation Of peace neces-
sary to the welfare of humanity?
This question is being widely dis
cussed at the present moment The war
parties in Russia and Japan would have
been highly encouraged had they at
tended an interesting debate Of the sub
ject at Hotel del Societies Savantes.
Paris.
Some Of the speakers seemed to be Of
the opinion that we're there no war. pes
thence. vice and misery. the boulevards
and the rest Of the earth would be
so crowded that people would be WALL
ing on each others heads.
Charles Ricket, an eminent doctor OF
the Academy of Medicine. sustained the
affirmative side. DR.. Riehet said that
during the nineteenth century 1900
men were killed in the wars. Besides,
an incaleulable amount of money was
spent or left unearned. The twentieth
century must pass before Europe will
have recovered from the drain on her vi
tally and resources.
Maurice Sprouck, member OF the
chamber Of deputies. declared It was
hurtful to the human race to preach or
practice peace, His chief argument was
that peace eneryates both the individ-
ual and the nation, while from the clash
OF arms emerges sturdy people which
has elbow room.
The shades of Nautilus must have
smiled approval when benevolent
speakers insisted that war is most eff
cacious in stopping the growth of pop
ulation.
