Germany's Big Naval Guns

From the New York Tribune
 Germany's response to naval construc- ton in Great Britain, Japan and the Uni ted States is now delivered. Great Britain has been building ships with 10 121s-inch guns. Japan has one of eight 14-inch guns. Our own New York and Texas have each 10 14-inch guns. Hitherto 12- irch guns have been Germanys largest. But now she is at work on two ships each of which will carry eight 15-inch guns mounted in four turrets placed on the center line. an undertaking which has spurred the British admiralty to plan a ship with similar armament
 The interesting feature of rhe case is tbat Germany has not, as other nations have, gradually worked her way up to this enormous calibre, but has leaped at single bound from 12 to 15 inches. thus adopting the largest guns in the world. "The waiting attitude says the Cologne Gazette, has been abandoned. and the German navy takes it's place in front with the others"
 It might have said "in front of the others" for the German navy now takes the lead of the world in size of guns and Great Britain becomes her follower Of course, whether that means primacy in the general efficiency of ships is another question.
