TWELVE INCH Guns
SHORT LIVED.

WASHINGTON. Nov. s.-That the r.
inch gun now in use at most of the
coast fortifications OF the United
States would not last through an en-
gagement of two hours, the period that
would eIapse from the time the leading
vessel of feet would come within the
range until the last vessel would pass
beyond the range of the guns, is the
statement made by Brigadier General
William Crozier, chief OF ordnance,
whose annual report was made public
at the War Department today.
General Crozier thinks that IL Is of
the utmost Importance that some meth
cd be devised whereby the necessary
gunpowder can be secured with less ex-
pense than that involved in using pro-
jectiles now employed. The 12-ilch
gun will last for about sixty rounds.
and as the gun is capable Of firing for
considerable interval at the rate OF
forty-five rounds per hour Ii can be
seen that the limit of the life OF this
gun could be reached in less than an
hour and a half.

ROME, Nov s-The Pope will hold
a consistory about the middle OF De-

whether Cardinals will be then created
or not. According TO some observers,
this consistory will be held chiefly for
the purpose Of transferring the Arch
bishop of Seville to another see and TO
appoint several French bishops.
According to others. cardinals will
be created. including one Belgian and
one Frenchman- The latter appoint
ment will be made as a result OF the
Pope's desire to show his gratitude for
the unanimity with which the French
clergy have supported him in the strug-
