new HOUSES DESIGNED
FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT
Accommodations for Engine and
Truck to Be Constructed Within
Seven Months.

Plans for two new Washington fire
houses, No. 1 truck and No. % engine,
have been completed by the municipal
architects Office, and bids will be call
ed for by the middle of next week. 1t
Is planned to have the building ready
for service within seven months.
In order to have the engine house con-
form to the style of architecture of the
residential neighborhood in which it is to
be located, Municipal Architect Snow
den Ashford has prepared the design
along colonial lines. This building,
which will occupy a site on Connecti-
cut avenue between Ordway and Por-
ter streets, will be an addition to the
engine companies, and will be manned
by an entirely new fire-f1ghting crew.
Will House Two Companies.
No. l trucks house, to be built on New
Jersey avenue near E street, will house
both No. 1 truck, now located on North
Capitol street between B and C streets.
and No. engine, now located at C
street and Delaware avenue.
The structure will be similar in style
to the f1rehouse on 18th street between
G and II streets. The truck house
with cost of ground will represent
about $4,000. while the new engine
house will be acquired at cost OF about
$4,000.

Gun "Silencers.

To the Editor of The Star:
| was much interested in the article
on "silencers' in your edition of Sun
day and, if you will permit me, Will
add a few words thereto. The term
"silencer," at least SO far as Maxim's
device is concerned. should not be TAX
en- literally. | have one of the .22-cali-
Der size. adapted to a Stevens ten-inch
barrel rife. and it's effect Oil the report
of that little arm is to reduce 1t to the
crack of a good percussion cap, and
even this reduction in sound can only
be had with low power ammunition
giving muZzle velocities but little If
any over 1900 feet a second. With
high power ammunition giving nearly
double this velocity the effect is prac-
tically nil. The reason given is that in
such case it is not only the sudden
drive" of a much greater volume of
gas, but the sharp impact of the bullet
itself against the air at the same mo-
ment which produces the report. Of
this. however. there is doubt, as
blank cartridges seem to make about
as much noise as the other kind.
A longitudinal section of a Maxim
silencer such as mine shows series
of what1night be termed conchoidal or
shell-like diaphragms, each centrally
pierced with an opening slightly larger
than the projectile to which it gives
exit. the idea being to make the stream
lose velocity, before allowing it to es-
cape. Clearly, then, if the volume of
gas liberated by the explosion is great
er than can be accommodated by the
convolutions in the silencer, the bulk
of such gas will strike the air with but
slight loss of its normal force, and
hence will make about as much noise
as it would without passing through
the silencer.
Another plan, tried long ago and
which gave better results. but was not
considered sufficiently practical. was to
drill d large number of fine holes ra-
daily to the axis OF the bore in the last
inch or two of the barrel, the combined
area OF these needle-like openings be-
ing greater than that of the bore. In
this manner the bulk of the gas passed
through these hundred or more perfo-
rations before the bullet had actually
left the muZZle.
The cutting of number of fine radial
slots with a very thin small circular
saw. in lieu of holes, near the muzzle
was also tried, and also pronounced i'm
practicable, SO that. barring airguns,
the really silent rifle has yet to make
its appearance. WILLIAM GIUSTA.

WILL AID IN PLANNING
FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE
Rifle Association to Participate in
Conference to Be Held in
Washington.

Announcement is made that the Ma
tional Rifle Association of America
will participate in the conference on
national defense, which is to be held
in Washington October A., immediate
ly following the Grand Army of the
Republic encampment. There are en-
rolled as members of the National
Rife Association. shooting under its
rules and regulations, and making an
nual reports of their work. 800 gov
eminent rife clubs, 10 schools and
fifty-sevcn college clubs, all training
with the military rife.
May Outline General Plan. i.
1t is expected that the army esti-
mates, to be submitted to the next
Congress viii contain provisions for
general plan of range construction
throughout the country as the pre-
liminary steps toward the training of
the male citizens of the country in
military rife shooting. High military
authorities are i'll accord as to the
necessity Of such training for those
who are available as volunteers, and
realize that any scheme for a reserve
must provide also for the rifle training
OF It's members.
Provision probably will be included
for the proper supervision and training
OF rifle CLUBS and the issue to them OF
ammunition and target supplies. Con-
gresS, at the latest session, authorized
the chief OF ordnance to issue, free, to
rife clubs. the kras rifles in storage at
the arsenals well as the necessary
ammunition.
When the new law went into effect,
the organization of these clubs was
put in the hands of the National Ririe
Association of America, which had al
ready done considerable work in the
promotion of rifle training among the
citizens of the country. Since that
time the War Department has euuipped
l6i clubs with 1,016 rifles, and issued to
them for practice 1850 rounds OF am
munition. In addition, 915 rifles and
40 carbines, besides $3.50 cartridges.
have been issued to school cadet corps.
Inaugurates Training System.
Rife training of citizens in this coun-
try has been almost an unknown fac
tor up to about ten years ago, when the
National Rifle Association began a
serious propa ganda for a rev. al of the
practice, having in view the benefit
which would result from the standpoint
of national defense. The association
appealed to prominent men or the land
for cooperation, and received very ma
tcriat assistance from cx-PresIdents
Taft and Roosevelt, ex-senator Root,
cX-Secretary of the Navy Meyer, col.
Robert NJ. Thompson, eX-Secretarles of
War Dickinson ana Wright, Robert
Bacon. Seth Low. Herbert $. Hadley
John II. D-exel, George Westinghouse,
Judge e. Fl. Gary and many other
prominent men OF the country.
The association is again appealing for
aid to expand its work, especially
among the schools and colleges.

ROME, July 25.-Upon returning to
Rome after fairly comprehensive tour
find the chief impression left upon
my mind is that of the complete pre-
paredness of Italy. Every possible con-
tingency has been provided against, so
rar as "a stranger is able to see. Moth
ing has been left to chance. 1t is also
evident that the war has the complete
support of every class of ltaly's peo-
pie. The belief, to some extent current
in the United States. that this is war
of selfish aggression on 1talys part,
which has an end in view the extern
sion of the Kingdoms territorial limits,
is vigorously resented by 1tallarH.
Ours is a three-told motive, said
one of ltaly's chief men to me. We
fear the Austro-Gernan com &nation.
Belgium'S case has shown what con-
sideration a small nation may expect
at it's hands. We have an old grudSe-
| score of old grudges-against Aus
tria. she has bullied us time after
time. She has not even coated her con-
tempt by courtesy. We wish to redeem
the Irredenta. Austria has been hold
ing territory which is Italian in blood
and sympathy. We propose to re-estab-
lish it part of Italy
America has in some measure been
led to believe that this war was forced
upon the Italian government by an
| overwh Ginning movement of the people.
Statements have been made that the
king and the more important business
element wished to the last moment to
| avert war; but feared to thwart the
popular wish. The anti-German riots
at Milan and elsewhere are offered in
proof of this contention. ! believe the
contrary to be the fact l am informed
through diplomatic channels that the
present leaders of the government de-
termined shortly after the outbreak of
the war 10 take part against Austria.
Delay was forced upon them by two
cOnditiOnS:
