NEW AERIAL GUNS
WILL Be MADE FOR
BATTLESH|P FLEET
Rear Admiral Twining Or
ders Three-Pounders Fol-
lowing. Successful Test.

Rear Admiral Twining, chief Of the
Bureau Of Ordnance and Acting Secre,
tary Of the Navy, will start Immediately
upon the construction, in the Wash.
ington Navy Yard, of battery OF
three-pound aerial guns. 1t Is probable
that these guns will be followed by
others Of even larger caliber to be
mounted on battleships 36 and 81. the
plans for which are now under consid-
Grafton.
Read Admiral Twining determined to
push the construction work on aerial
guns as soon as the tests OF the one
FOUNDER model were completed yester-
day at Indian Head. The tests of this
model were most satisfactory. the gun
developing q range Of 1900 feet at an
angle of 5 degrees, or almost perpen-
dicular.
The Bureau Of Ordnance has sufh-
ent funds available to build about
twenty-five OF tho new aerial guns.
Because Of their low caliber II will
be possible to make even the castings
for them at the Washington Navy
Yard foundry. This foundry for years
has been too small TO meet the cast
ing requirements for modern big
guns. and all big gun castings come
from outside
Rear Admiral Twining expects TO
turn out some Of the three-pounders
by the first OF the year, when they
will be tested at Indian Head and
sent Immediately to the battleship
fleet for mounting in a new deck
battery.
The perfection of this gun by Rear
Admiral Twining places the United
States far in advance Of her rivals
in the matter of defense against
aerial attack. Many guns for defense
against aeroplanes have been built
by European powers. but their sue
cess has been limited.
Rear Admiral Twining viii take uI
the question Of battery location anC
design with Rear Admiral Capps. chic
constructor OF the navy, as soon as The
latter returns from his inspe 'tion tour
in Europe. The present plans call 70;
the placing of circular armored towers
on the decks OF all ships forward and
aft with two or three guns In eacl
tower
The new three-pounder guns. which
will be started at the Washington va art
about September I. have an estimatet
range OF seven miles. A much greater
height than any present aeroplanc oI
balloon has attained.
Experts Of the bureau have heen as.
signed to the task of designing sight,
for the new guns. and pertectinR a new
type Of range finder that may be
adaptable to aerial work.

ARMY OFFICERS SEE
BIG FUTURE FOR
AERIAL FIGHTERS
Believe Aviation Division
Will Be Most Important in
War Department.

1t is the belief of the army officers
at the aviation school at College Park
that in the course OF five years aviation
will become one Of the most important
divisions of the War Department Its
Importance is such that there is a possI-
billty of its being considered as a spe-
Clal department to itself.
The purchase OF two new machines,
probably next month, shows that the
Government now considers aviation a
fixture. The two new machines that are
to be purchased do not include the
Curtiss. With the arrival OF these three
machines there will be seven flyers at
the Government schooi.
Congress each year will make an ap-
preparation for the maintenance Of the
aviation school, and it IS more than
probable that an additional appropria-
ton will be made for the purchase Of
several new machines each year.
A number OF Senators and Represen-
tatives have paid the aviation field a
visit, with the result that their opinion
OF aviation as an offensive power In
case OF war has been greatly changed,
and they have taken quite an interest
In the work being done by the Officers.
No doubt whenever the appropriation
for the aviation schooi is considered, II
will have a strong support
America is taking the lead i'll aviation
from a manufacturers standpoint, and
the machines manufactured here have
more than held their own in aviation
meets AS fast as the aeroplane is per-
fected, the Government will as often as
the officers think best, purchase new
and up-tO-date machines.
The present fiscal year ends June 30,
1872 and by then the officers hope to
have at least fifteen aeroplanes a. the
aviation school.
