NAVAL BOARD WILL TEST
MERITS OF ISHAM SHELL
System of Attack by Exploding
Heavy Charges Outside of Armor
to Be Investigated.

A special naval board has been named
by Secretary Daniels to investigate the
merits Of the system Of attacking naval
vessels by the explosion of heavy
charges of nitroglycerin or similar
compounds on the outside Of their
armor. The House naval committee
urged the inquiry, and at its request
the basis of the experiment will be the
Isham she'll.
Secretary Daniels explained that
there already had been a number of
tests of this theory, but that an at
tempt to settle the question once and
for all had been advised by Rear Ad-
miral Straus. chief of the naval ord
nance bureau.
The tests will take place in the
lower Potomac as soon as the neces-
sary hulks or caissons can be pre-
pared.
The special board is as follows: Rear
Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, aid for
operations, chairman; Capt. Roy c.

perintendent of the Naval Observatory

Projectiles Weigh 1,4oo Tons.

Perhaps nothing shows the superior
ity of the new guns more clearly than
the charges they will be able to throw
against an enemy-1,40O pounds in
weight, and containing a much larger
amount of high explosive to cause
damage when it hits the mark than
the S70-pound projectile for the twelve
inch pieces.
Two of these three-gun turrets are
TO be set up, one on the forecastle deck
and one on the quarterback, with a
tWo-gun turret behind and slightly
above each. Thus there will be five
furteen-inch guns facing ahead and a
similar number facing astern, with
aoil1ty to concentrate the fire OF all
ten guns at either side or almost di-
rectiy ahead or astern. The tremen-
dous advantage of such an arrange
ment has made a deep impression on
naval authorities the world over.

fourteen-inch guns, carry them mount
ed in five two-gun turrets instead of
four, as on the Nevada and her sister
ship, the Oklahoma, which is being
constructed by the New York Ship
