been practicing about nine months
and could not exactly explain his
treatment. He simply held his hand

The Coroner: do you hold yourself

NEW ERA IN WARFARE.
l4-Inch Gun Will Make Coast De-
fences HpInJpSS


AT Boston recently Rear Admir-
al Frances 7. Bowles, retired, made
the following remarks upon the ad-
option of the 14-inch gun for
battieships: The adoption of a IA
inch gun which could shoot accu-
rately 10 miles would revolution
lZe naval warfare. 1t would make
all the coast defence of the present
day practically useless.
"A fleet of battleships equipped
with l4-inch guns could send into
Boston messengers of death and de-
struction sufficient to reduce the
entire city to ruins before the
coast defence could train their
guns on the hostile fleet
IF the new 14-inch guns turn
out as successfully as is hoped"
the Admiral says, their destruc-
tive power would be terrific. Not
only is the impact very great and
their penetrating power practically
unlimited, but also the explosion of
the she'll would play havoc that
would be appalling.
There is no question that the
general introduction of the guns of
very large calibre will revolution
ize warfare. 1t will make many
changes necessary to naval construc-
ton
For instance, it will necessitate
the improvement of armor. The
plate will have to be made thicker
or of moreee impentrable material
in order to withstand the increas-
ing striking power or the new ord
nance.
THE coast defense would serve,
perhaps only to withstand an ac-
tual invasion should the enemy re-
sort to this after having demolish-
ed the coast cities.
There Is no doubt that a fleet
equipped with new 14-inch guns of
the finest type could raze New York
or any. other seaport in less than
an hour
The only way to prevent a nav
al invasion is to have a fleet which
could successfully prevent it. Ships
are about the only thing that
would prevent destruction of our
seacoast in case of war.
1t seems TO me that the answer
TO this problem of coast defence is
made by submarine. | believe that
the submarine is going to be taken
more serious each year by naval
experts. 1t is the most deadly enc.
my of the battleship. In the naval
experiments made with them sub.
marines have proved themselves
capable of doing things.
They can prevent an invasion of a
hostile fleet even in the absence OF
the home fleet of battleships.
