GERMANS BUILDING
CROSS CHANNEL GUNS

New York, Oct. 16.-Adolph F. Gall,
an engineer in the Edison laboratories
here who arrived on the Helig Olav,
said Germany was building a number
of guns which would make the t.
inch siege guns used against Liege,
Namur and Antwerp Took like bean
blowers
The guns, according to Mr.. Gall, will
have a calibre of 1880 and 21.45 inches
and are being rushed to completion
at the Krupp plant at Essen.
"The new guns will shoot from TWEEN
ty-one to twenty-five miles," Mr.. Gall
said. THE Germans plan to supplant
the present batteries of 16-inch guns
with these and then mount the old
guns on the battleships,'
Then If the German army has cap
tured Ostend and some other points
along the channel, the new big guns
will be ranged there to hold of the
British navy and troop ships. In this
way the Germans feel they can con-
! troll considerable portion of the Eng
1ish channel off CalaisAand Ostend
One shot from either of these guns
would demolish a dreadnought.
Mr.. Gall said he received his infor
nation concerning the new siege gun!
from friends in the Krupp company
whom he had met in business way.
