to be constructed for the United
States navy Is rapidly nearing COM
pletion OF the works OF the Midvale
Steel Company, and will be tried out
next month at the naval proving
ground at Indian Head. Il is the
most powerful type OF ordinance yet
designed in this country. The army
has n 16-inch gun at Sandy Hook,
but It is of low power type, and It's
efficiency. compared with the high
power 10 and 12-inch guns is doubt
full.
The new naval gun will be given
thorough test. Huge 1600-pound
projectlles will be hurled at the test
targets, and the velocity, power and
accuracy carefully measured. II It
proves as effective as is expected, II
is extremely likely that the next bat
tleships will jump TO 10000 tons,
with 10 OF ~ OF the guns mounted
In Ave or six turrets. One vessel OF
this kind would be able to stand on
almost a whole squadron OF warships
OF the type OF many now In the At.

the gun would enable II TO strike
effective blows before the older 10
inch guns can be brought into play.
