COASTS HELPLESS
BEFORE BIG GUNS
iAdmiral Bowles Says l4-inch
Rifles Would Work Hav-
oc on Defenses.
National News Association)


! Boston. Aug. Rear Admiral
Francis T. Bowles, U. s. NJ, retired.
says:
THE adoption of a 14.inch gun
which would shoot with accuracy at
a distance of twelve or fifteen miles
would revolutionize naval warfare. 1t
would make all the coast defense of
the present day, practically useless"
a fleet of battleships equipped with
14-inch guns could send into Boston
messenger OF death and destruction
sufficient to reduce the entire city to
ruins before the coast defcnses could
train their guns on the hostile fleet,
he believes. and the coast defenses
would be practically useless.
II the new 14-inch guns turn out as
successful as is hoped" says the ad
miral, their destructive power will
be terrific. Not only is the impact
very great and their penetrating pow
er practically unlimited, but also the
explosion of the shell would play ha.
voc that would be appalling.
There Is no question that the gen.
eral introduction of guns Of very large
caliber, such as the new 14-inch, will
revolutionize warfare. 1t will make
many changes necessary to naval
construction.
For instance, 1t will necessitate the
improvement of armor. The plates
will have to be made thicker or of
more impenetrable material in order
to withstand the increased striking
power OF the new ordinance.
1.-THE coast defenses would be moth
ing but last resort. Their value
perhaps only to withstand an actual
invasion, should the enemy resort to
this after having completely demolish-
led the coast cities.
THE upshot of all this matter ia
that the way to prevent a naval inva-
sion Is to have fleet which can sue
cessfully prevent 1t. Ships are about
the only thing which would prevent
destruction of our seacoast in case of
war.
1T seems to me that the answer
to this problem of coast defense is
made by the submarine. I believe that
the submarine is going to be taken
more seriously every year by naval
experts. 1t is the most deadly en-
envy Of the battleship. In the recent
experiments made with them, sub
marins have proven themselves capa-
BILE OF doing great things. They can
prevent an invasion by a hostile fleet
even in the absence OF a home fleet
OF battleships."
