NAVY IS PLANNING
FOR LARGER SHIPS
Two New Battleships Au-
thorized to Be of $500
Tons Each.
National News Association

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31-The two
new battleships authorized by the last
naval act probably will be of 2s.5oo
tons displacement, or the biggest war
vessels in the world. The largest ships
SO far designed tor the American navy
are the New York and Texas. with a
displacement of $4,000 tons each. and
it became known only today that the
navy department contemplated exceed
ing their size.
The new ships will have heavier
armor than ever before put on bat
creased displacement. The armament
of the new vessels will be the same as
the New York and Texas, with q main
battery of ten fourteen-inch-guns.
With this approach to a 30,000-ton
battleship, the naval ordnance experts
are considering the question of a six
teen-inch gun. 1t will require $4,000
ton battleship 20 withstand the ter
rife recoil from main battery of ten
sixteen-inch guns.
New Gun for Aeropianes.
At the same time it is announced
that new six FOUNDER gun, equipped
with specially adapted high explosive
projectiles and shrapnel shells to de-
molish aeroplanes and balloons in bat
tie. has been perfected by the United
States Army. 1t can be elevated at any
angle, and possesses a maximum eff
fective range of seven miles.
The construction of the new rifle
has just been completed at the Rock
Island Qll.) arsenal. Experiments with
it will begin at the Sandy Hook prov.
ing grounds within a fortnight. The
Army thus is in advance of the Navy
toward the solution of the problem OF
defense against airships. The Navy
only few days ago conducted its first
tests with the carriage of one-pound
er gun.
The shells which this Army gun viii
hurl into the skies are described as re
markable devices. They will be loaded
with dunnite or other high explosives
and upon bursting will send forth /;
shower of shot in conelike area. sim

almost certain to strike an airship
aimed with any degree of accuracy.
/ New Projectiies Devised.
Other projectiles which have beer
designed for the new gun contain onl.
a high explosive, which upon expold
ing would wreck any airship in it
vicinity. Following in the wake o
these powerful projectiles will b.
tracers which will aid in accuratel,
aiming the gun upon the course of ;
hostile airship. The tracers to be uses
in the daylight hours will be of smoke
while sparks will show the path of thu
shell at night.
In the coming experiments the Ar
lmy will shoot at balloons and DO,

great distance. The signal corps viii

which the Berlin Tageblatt yesterday
reported the Turkish government pro-
posed buying. The Olympia was Ad-
miral Dewey's flagship during the bat
tie of Manila Bay, and the Raleigh al
so participated in that engagement
the Brooklyn was Rear Admiral Sch
ley's flagship at Santiago and the Sar-
atoga formerly the New York. was the
flagship of Rear Admiral Sampson.
The splendid showing of the team
representing the United States ma
rines in the rifle matches at Camp Per
ry, Ohio. brought forth two letters OF
congratulation from Acting Secretary
of the Navy Winthrop today. Calvin A
Lloyd, the marine corporal who won
the Presidents match was the recipi
ent of one and the team of marines

score of $3.50 won the national rifle
team match, received the other.
