BIG GUN PLAN MODIFIED.
Ordnance Bureau Claims Change
Will Increase Its Durability.

\ modification is to be made IN the
fourteen-Inch gun by the ordnance bu-
reau OF the navy which will materially
lengthen the life Of those large guns
1t is estimated that the number OF rounds
that can be shot from the big guns with
ous being refined will be increased from
17b to 2OO The change will consist in
incheasing the space in tho chamber about
Il per cent, which will materially lessen
the pressure. There will be no change
in the muzzle velocity nor in the contour
All the new guns for the battleships
will be built on the modified plan. and
the old guns will be changed at the first
opportunity when the battleshtps are at
the yards. 1t is claimed that the change
will not only decrease the cost OF main
tainIng the big guns. but will increase
their efficiency. An increase Of twenty
Eve rounds in the length OF the life OF
gun is regarded as a great
in the battle efficiency OF
the fleet.

Bill by Mr.. Britten Creates Grade
of Brigadier General.

Because he claims the Marine Corps
has been Disseminated against. Repre-
sentative Fred A. Britten Of Illinois to-
day introduced bill to create the grade
of brigadier general in that branch Of
the service and to authorize the Presi
dent to appoint two officers Of that rank.
At present there is no such thing as
brigadier general in the Marine Corps.
and the brigade Of marines VIII .ch landed
at Vera Cruz is in command OF a co.onel.
Mr.. Britten. in a statement issued by
him. declares this to be unmiiitary. The
authorized strength of the corps is 345
officers ana 9.S2l enlisted men. which
practically amounts to a division of three
prigades. In command of the entire
force is a major general commandant,
stationed in Washington. which is the
proper rank for the responsibility. How
ever. the next lower rank is that OF
colonel.
Representative Brltten points out that

mediate grade occurs between the com
mandinR officer of the entire division
