This performance is but a prelude to

In speakingo of the new gun, Col. Smith,

good points, excellent points, in fact:
but. to my mind. its real value cannot be
determined until we have thoroughly
tested 10 and 20-inch guns of tire same
pattern. Since the best and surest cure
for war is its prevention. and since
the best preventive is to be always for
