Sir:-The Outdoor Circle Of Homo
lulu is body of three hundred and
five women, organized for the pur-
pose of Identifying the city. This

the adopting of measures for better
highways aud for the regulation of

The claims to merit of all the sug.
,e gested locations, including the scheme
Of a civic center, have unquestionably
been carefully and fully presented to

We wish merely to suggest that
whatever may have been the differ.

confident that such opinion is now
overwhelmingly in favor of the Irwin
site. g. 30 HI
Consideration Is Asked u.
n We believe we speak from knowl-
edge Of this subject, based upon care,
full investigation, and we trust you

trolling your final decision.

DETAILS OF THE GERMAN
42-CENTIMETER GUN

Although the 42-cm, gun used
by the Germans in battering
down the Notifications at Liege
and Namur attracted world
wide attention during the early
stages of the war, the secret of
its dimensions and other fea-
lures has been so jealously
guarded that practically moth
ing has been made public in re-
gard to this monster mortar,
beyond the terrible destruction
wrought by it. At a recent
meeting of Artillery engineers
at Dusseldorf, Germany, an en-
gineer of the Krupp works de-
livered a lecture on the making
of heavy artillery and particu-
larly on the making Of the Az
en-. guns, or the big Berthas,"
as the Germans call them, and
an apparently reliable report of
this lecture has been transmit
ted to this country. According
to this report, which appears in
the December Popular Mechan-
les Magazine, the big gun weighs
about 81 1-2 tons, while the base
on which it stands when in fir
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1915-11-19

ing position weighs Al 1-4tons.
The barrel is 16 feet long, and
the shell fired from it is about
so inches long and weighs $50
pounds. The gun is far too big
to be transported on any kind of
gun carriage. 1t is made up of
considerable more than 100
pieces, and must be taken apart
and loaded on motor trucks, of
which IL are said to be requir-
ed, when it is to be moved.
No one not connected with the
German artillery is ever per-
mitted near the 42-cm. gun when
it is in firing position. 1t is said
that no photographs have ever
been made of it, the pictures
purporting to represent this
gun, widely published at the be-
ginning of the war, being in fact
photographs of the 30-cm.
Krupp and Skoda mortars.
