A GREAT GUN TESTED.
Fifteen.Inch Rifle Al Sandy Hook Is Fired
Against Arm0r.


An interested group OF military and
nava men at sandy Hook. y. Y,
watched test Of rifled guns ON Mon
day ut which the sixteen-inch rifle
weapon was discharged against arinor
for the first time.
This is the largest size gun made
and Is the only one in the possession
of this government. II is understood
that there have been others made
abroad successfully and il has been
said that one was manufactured here
as much 10 make it appear that this
government could contrive them, too.
as for other reasons. The only other
gun tested was a ten-inch rified gun.
The results of the tests, which con-
sisted merely i'm firing one shot from
each weapon. were not made public
except in general way. 1t was re-
marked merely that the tests had
been conducted successfully.
II was explained, too, that IL was
not SO much trial of guns rs of
armor. The target for the sixteen
inch rifle was of armor plate twelve
inches thick, representation of the
plate Of battleship of the Iowa
type. The ten-incn gun was discharged
against plate of six inches thickness,
representing the armament Of cruis-
err The shells were discharged with
high explosive powder, but the veloc-
ity was low. The range for the six
teen-inch gun was about 10, yards
The other was 10000 yards.
There was q report that the results
with the sixteen-ineh gun had been
disappointing as far as the armor
pirecing was concerned as compared
with the work of the smaller gun.
This was not the view expressed by
those who had seen the trial. They
did not care TO enter into details.
''These tests have been made by
the government at great expense and
il is not going to be SO liberal as TO
give away as soon as it finds out any
thing. We would, like TO know what
other nations are doing, but we
don't get that information handed out
to us. If any foreign nation would
like to find out how successful the
tests were the simplest thing is TO get
ready and bring a battleship up to
sandy Hook. In that way great
deal may be found out about the six
teen-inch gun.
