GUNS IN THE WAR OF 1912.
Two Classes Of Naval Cannon-American
and British Preferences.

Two Glasses Of Naval Cannon-Americar
and British, Preferences.
There were in those days two prin'
cipal classes Of naval cannon - long
guns. often simply called guns" and
carronades, says a writer on the War
of 1872 in Scribner's. The guns had
long range, With light weight of shot
fired; the carronades had short range
and heavy shot. Now in long guns
the Americans were four times as
strong as the British, While in carron-
AIDES the British were twice as strong
a: the Americans. 1t follows that
the American commodore should prefer
long range to begin with, whereas the
British would be careful not to ap-
proach within long range, unless with
such a breeze as would carry him
rapidly down to where his carronades
would come into play.
There was another very decisive rea.
son why such short range favored the
British against the Americans. The
schooners Of the latter not being built
for war, carried their guns on deck
unprotected by bulwarks. The men, be-
ing exposed from the feet up, could
be swept away b. canister, which is
a quantity of small iron balls packed
in a case and fired from cannon.
When discharged these separate and
spread like buckshot. striking many ir:

tive power small. A bulwarked YES
sci was, SO to say, armored against
canister; for it makes no difference
whether the protection is six inches Of
wood or ten of iron, provided it keeps
out the projectile. The American
schooners were IN this respect wholly
vulnerable.
Over-insistence upon details of ad.
vantage or disadvantage is often wear
isome. and may be pushed to petit
Jogging, but these quoted are general
and fundamental. To mention them
is not to chatter over details, but te
state principles. There is one other
that should be noted. although its
value may be differently estimated.
OF the great lorg-gun superiority of
the Americans considerably more than
one-half was in the unprotected schoon-
ers. distributed. that is. among several

equality between ten guns ir five such
vessels and the same ten concentrated
