both ARMY AND NAVY
GUARDING GUN SECRETS
Invention of New Weapons Re-
suit of Development of
the AeropIane.

Recent publications limiting at the de-
velopment Of q remarkable aeroplane gun
has brought out the fact that a strong
rivalry exists between the army and the
navy ordnance bureaus in designing and
constructing guns calculated to solve
problems introduced in land and sea war
fare by the adoption of the aeroplane on
land and the hydro-aerOplane on the sea
as machines of offense.
1t appears that the two bureaus are
proceeding on precisely opposite lines;
the army is trying to develop a gun that
can be trained with lightning-like rapid
ity upon the swiftly moving aeroplane
with the purpose Of bringing it to earth,
and the navy Is striving to equip its
hydro-aeroplanes with guns which will
shower destructive missiles upon forti-
fications or bodies of troops below.
Observing Great Secrecy.
Both branches of the service are con-
Quoting their experiments with great Sc
crecy, but 1t appears that the navy, at
least, will soon be obliged to test its gun
in the open. though even then efforts
will be made to prevent unauthorized
persons from approaching the weapon
near enough to observe its peculiarities.
The navy gun is the invention of Com
mander Cleland Davis, who also invented
the cannon torpedo. which has recently
been tried with surprisingly successful
results. 1t is understood that it was
the success of the remaskably light
vanadium steel eight-inch gun in the
torpedo which convinced Commander
Davis that he could build a serviceable
gun light enough to be carried by an
aeroplane and to discharge a siX-inch
canister shell which would almost ami
hilate company of men in trenches be-
low.
Ingenious Devices.
Ingenious devices have been adopted
to take up the recoil of this weapon with
out injury to the hydro-aeroplane, which
could carry at least a half dozen rounds
| of ammunition.
The army weapon designed for hitting
an aeroplane is of much simpler con-
struction, the departure from ordinary
practice consisting in a peculiar carriage
capable of directing the gun at any point
| between the horizon and the zenith with
out injurious recoil in the arrangements
| for instantaneous changes of direction,
and in a method of automatically adjust
| ing the sights to compensate for the
changes in the trajectory of the shot In
cident to changes in elevation of the gun

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. October 81
Three Maxwell cars composing the Tar

tour. which ended in Jacksonville yester-
day, defeating seventeen other teams OF
three cars each in the most strenuous
Glidden tour which has ever been con-
Quoted. Driving like mad over mere
trail through the Florida pine forests and
under a speed schedule which was sup
posed to be impossible. the larry town trio
made whirlwind finish and arrived early
enough to retain the only perfect score in
the contest. This they have maintained
persistently since leaving New York Oc-
tober IA.
A team of Stevens Duryea cars entered
and, driven by individual motorists OF
prominence in the south. finished in sec
ond place in the Glidden trophy division,
and a team of Cadillac cars was in third
position. with 10 and % points penalty,
respectively. Only seven of the eighteen
teams survived the awful roads which
made up the so-called National Highway,
the eleven eliminated having penalties
ranging from one to three thousand

In the division competing for the trophy
offered by the city of Anderson, S. c.,
for the best individual score made by any
car. regardless of class. there were several
tied scores. among them those of Miss
Birdie Marks of Athens, Ga. who drove
her silver-plated Columbia roadster
through the entire 1.454-mle trip. and the
Maxwell car which was entered by Gov.
Hoke Smith of Georgia. Both of these
cars made absolutely clean scores. Last
night at a meeting of the tied competi-
tors drawing was held, and the Ander-
son trophy, signifying best individsal per-
Torrance, was won by Gov. Smiths Max
well. Thus both the trophies of this
years tour were won by Maxwell cars.
The governors car was driven by Arthur
See of Tarrytown, n. y, and the governor
rode almost the entire distance, inviting
the governors of other states to be his
guests. The GHdden tour is in the ma
tional reliability contest.
