There will be electric ammunition
hoists and conveyers,, and it is more
than probable that electrical devices
for both aiming and discharging the
guns will be installed. There also
will be an automatically controlled
motor for the purpose of keeping the
big guns on a horizontal line while
firing in heavy seas.
The Louisiana has a length of 450
feet on the load waterline, an ex-
treme breadth of 76 feet 10 inches,
and a total displacement of 10000
tons. She will be fitted with twin

of 18 knots or better.

Lao Yang, Aug. 27.-General Kuro-
XII has joined forces with General
Oku in the attempt to cut the Rus
sian line between Anshanshan and
Liandiansian. The battle of August
25th ragged along the eastern front
A strong Japanese force attacked the
Russian positions at Mao Pass, II
miles east of Anshanshan Nine bat
teries of six guns each bombarded
the Russian outposts. At this point
the combat repeatedly developed into
hand to hand fighting. The Russians
stubbornly held the outposts the en-
tire day, falling back on their main
positions at night. The chief artillery
enga cement was in front of Liam
diansian, the Japanese concentrating
the fire of ten batteries and stimuli
taneously advancing on Torintshu:
but they were arrested by Cossacks
who were afterwards reinforced by
infantry and artillery. The Japanese
resumed the bombardment early in
the morning of August Goth, devoting
most of their attention TO Liandian-
sian. The Russian field guns were
Japanese guns, mostly mountain pie
ces.

A Lull in the Fighting.

Toxic, Aug. 27.-NO tidings of a
definite character from Port Arthur
or Lao Yang reached the public to-
day. 1t is understood that lull fol-
lowed the desperate fighting of the
earlier half of the week at Port Ar
thur. The lull was for the purpose of
resting the men. arranging certain
things in the plan of attack and for
completing preparations for pressing
the attack home heavier.
The Japanese guns continue to
shell the defenses of the fortress. but
a majority of the forces are not en-
gagged. Port Arthur is proving harder
to capture than the general public
OF Japan expected. Much regret is
expressed at the heavy losses. but the
nation is answering in its determine
tion to keep it up until Port Arthur
falls.
The belief is growing here that the
great and decisive battle win be
fought at Lao Yang. General Kuro-

Description of the Louisiana.
The Louisiana and her sister ship,
the Connecticut, which is to be
launched at the New York Navy
Yard a few weeks hence, are counted
mi fOhfino
machines of the new American navy
They will usher in one important in
noyation, inasmuch as their batteries
will contain finch guns in place OF
the 6-inch rapid firers which have
prevailed since the vessels OF the
Kearsarge- Kentucky type were plan
ned. 1t is doubtful whether any ship
afioat will match the Louisiana in
armament In addition to four IL
inch guns, in fore and aft turrets, she
will have eight 8-inch rifles. In the
main battery these will be supple
mented by twelve Finch rifles. each
throwing a projectile weighing $50
pounds.
The Pinch guns carry shell
weighing $50 pounds at velocity OF
1900 feet a second-a speed one
fanrth greater than that attained by
the 13-inch guns on the ships OF the
Indiana class The finch shells have

may be replaced by an armor pierc-
ing projectile, which attains veloe-
ity of 5000 feet second driven oy

powder.

Of the battle ships have been COM
nosed mostly of S-pounder and g.

lana these will be superseded by
twenty 3-inch rapid-fire rifles, throw

also will be twelve 3-pounder semi
automatic guns and two 3-inch field
guns and eight machine guns for the
fighting tops.

No Place for Brutal Officers.

The recent death by suicide of a pri-
vate in one of the batteries of the
United States Artillery has led to con-
siderable comment throughout the
country. 1t is said that the man was
led to take his own life by being Or
dered to duty when he was sick ana
unable to work. 1t is alleged that IS
not the first time that officers have
committed ofcenses of this character,
and that men suffering from pneumonia
and other forms of sickness have been
made to go on guard duty. 1t would be
a sad day for this country if it ever
permitted the brutal standards and
brutal methods that prevail in Europe
an armies to gain Il foothold in our
own military establishment. Ameri-
can soldiers are the best soldiers IN
the world, because they are the most in
teliigent. and have to Il greater extent
the capacity for understanding and
adapting themselves to existing con-
ditions than any troops under any 9TH
err power on the face of the earth.
Officers in the army are given great
power over it's private soldiers, and
they should he made to exercise this
power with humanity. with self-con-
troll and with judgment. A man brutal
by nature cannot live uD to the STAN
dard that should prevail among the
officers of our army, whom the people
right to demand shall be gentlemen as
we'll as officers. Otherwise he should
be nut out of service for it's betterment
without any delay.
