The Hague, Netherlands, via Lon

UNITED STATES HAS
THE GREATEST GUN
Daniels Says 1t 'Will Shoot Farther,
shoot Straighter and Hit Harder
Than Any Gun Now i'm Nse."

Washington, May 2.-Critics who
claim the American navy's 14-inch
rifles are inferior to the 15-inch Brit
ish naval guns are answered in a
statement issued tonight by Secre-
tary Daniels, declaring that the
bureau of ordnance has developed .
14-inch gun that will shoot farther
shoot straighter and hit harder than
any gun now in use or known to be
designed by foreign country"
While conceding that the British
battleship Queen Elizabeth's guns
throw larger shell, Mr.. Daniels
points out that she carries only
eight 15-inch rifles, compared with
twelve 14-inch weapons on the
United States battleship Pennsyl-
vania.
There is an axiom with regard to
ccliber which amounts to this-that
ship should mount the smallest big
gun that will pierce the enemy's ar
NOR over vitals at the maximum
probable fighting range" says the
secretary's statement "The 14-incL
guns of the Pennsylvania will get
through the maximum armor afioat
so far as our knowledge goes, at d
range of 1900 yards. The Queen
Elizabeth's 15-inch guns will do little
more than that. If our information
is correct as to the velocity of the
British 15-inch guns, the 14-inch
guns of the Pennsylvania will range
little farther than the Queen Eliza
beth's 15-inch guns.
THE Pennsylvania mounts twelve
guns to the Queen Elizabeth's eight.
Counting volume OF fire and prob
ability of hitting, we see that at bat
tie range the number of blows deliv-
cred by the Pennsylvania in a given
time will exceed those given by the
Queen Elizabeth by 20 per cent. No
one can doubt the advisability of de-
livering seventeen hits to ten of the
emmy.
Now, If we compare these guns at
ranges greater than armor piercing
range we find that the Pennsyl-
vania's guns range quite as far, at a
maximum, as those of the Queen
Elizabeth. Both guns range farther
than they would have any hope of
hitting a ship"

follows:
There is no modification to re-

serter is to the effect that for about
two months engineers of the Krupp
gun works have been directing in the
suburbs of Dixmude, n section where
there has been no lighting for sew

only nine shells were fired on the
second and last bombardment of the
French seaport. There is reason to
believe that the gun either has been
damaged by method OF fire which
the most powerful pieces do not re-

presence of our aeroplanes has had
the effect of stopping it's fire.

TEUTON|C ALLIES SMASH
ENTIRE RUSSIAN CENTER
Achieve Important Victory in
Western Tip of Galicia.
ALL BERLIN CELEBRATES.
Details of the Victory Have Not
Been Received-Gcrmany Also
Claims Success.

London, May 3.-According to
Berlin and Vienna, the German and
Austrian armies have achieved a not
able victory in West Galicia, smash
ing the entire Russian center along
front of many miles. or as the Ber.
lin official statment puts it, across
the whole Western tip of Galicia,
from near the Hungarian border to
the point where the River Dunaiec
joins the Vistula, right at the from
tier of Poland.
Though the 5000 prisoners the
Teutonic Allie say they have taken
does not compare with the number
which some of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's rushes netted him in
the north, the achievement if sub
sequent reports bear it out, will
mean at least temporary check to
the Russians hammering their way
westward since the fall of Przemysl.
Berlin is celebrating the victory
tonight, though it is admitted flags
have been flown before full details
are at hand.
England and France make no
claim to gains in the west the Brit
ish merely saying that the German
attacks on Hill GO in Flanders have
been beaten back; the French con-
firm this.
The Germans maintain they are
pushing forward to the northwest of
Ypres and toward st. Julien, which
they captured after the attack fol-
lowing their extensive use of gas, but
which they were forced to yield un-
der counter attacks.
In the fighting in the Baltic
provinces also Berlin finds cause to
rejoice. Rejecting the Russian con-
tention that it is only sporadic

If the Austro-German contentious

SWEDISH STEAMER
SUNK BY GERMANS
iiihpcr-Laden Vessel Sent to the
Bottom in Less than Three

London, May 3.-An Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen
says the Swedish steamer Ellida,
Iimber-laden, from Telsingborg for
HUI, has been torpedoed and sunk
IN the North Sea by a German sub
marine. She went to the bottom in
less than three minutes.
The 16 men and two women on
board the vessel barely had time to
make their escape in one of the
small boats. After cruising about
ior two hours they were picked up
by Danish schooner and landed at
Lemvig, Denmark.
