ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
Army Testing New Guns De-
signed by Colonel DepOrt.
From The Tribune Bureau.l

FIELD PIECES TESTED.-Two types
OF guns designed by Colonel Deport, who
Is the designer Of the French field gun,
nave recently been tested by the War De-
partment. The field gun has been sent to
Fort Riley for'further experiment 1t was
tested at Sandy Hook, and while II may
not be accepted in It's entirety there are
some features of 1t that undoubtedly will
be adopted by the army. 1t is proposed
to have the field artillery officers at Fort
Riley become familiar with the workings
Of this gun. The recol mechanism is ar
ranged so that 1t may be elevated up to
40 degrees, which is considerably greater
than can be effected by the field carriage
In use In the army, even with the tail
buried In the ground. This feature is Of
Importance in view OF the development of
the aeroplane
The important feature OF the gun is the
two-part trail. When the gun is in use
one part is swung on one side and the
other on the opposite side In order to
take up the recoil when the gun is trained
toward either side. BY this arrangement
the gun can be trained in an azmuth Of
"A degrees. For transportation the two
parts OF the trail can be brought together
In a single piece. II is stated that sew
eral Of these guns have been purchased
by the Italian army.
One OF them-a gun for mountain ser
yice-has not proved satisfactory. The
Board Of Ordnance and Fertilization Of
the War Department finds that the feat
ures Of this gun are no 'uch as to justify
its adoption as against the one now in use
In the army. The Deport mountain gun
has different recoIl. At the instant OF
firing a spring IS released which carries
the barrel forward, and just before the
gun reaches the forward limit the cart
ridge is freq. SO that the energy OF the
recoil is expended against the motion OF
the spring. The gun trail Is held in posi-
ton by spade. so that there is no rear
ward motion OF the carriage, but the i'm
pulse Of the spring causes q jump side
wise. The dismounted equipment makes
a load for four mules and takes about
twenty minutes TO assemble for firing.
The gun is not considered as effective
as the present army gun.
