COMPLETELY COVERS
THE FIELD

The attention of the reader i.
, is today called to the large
, amount of local news contain
ed in this issue of The OBJ
server, covering every phase
of the weeks doings through
out the county. 1t is probab-
; ly the most complete regular
edition of any newspaper ever
published within the county,
which is saying considerable.
; 1t contains more than twenty
columns of local happenings,
or more than is published by
all the other newspapers of
Polk county combined. And
vet The Observer is a twice-s-
week publication. The Tues
day issue of The Observer had
over twenty columns of read
ing matter, the greater part
of which covered local affairs
exclusively. We are not
dragging" about the great
ness of this publication, bnt
merely want to call the atten-
tion of the reader to the indis-
putable fact that the real
news of the week is to be
found only in its columns.
And we hope, in the near fu-
ture, to make The Observer
even bigger and better than at
present. Its circulation is rap
idly increasing without solicit
tation, which is an indication
that it is appreciated. During
the past year its subscription
list has shown an almost phe-
nominal growth, not only in
Polk county but in adjoining
territory as well. This should
be a pointer for advertisers.
The Observer is read, because
it gives the news. "You
know 1t.

new l4-INCH AMERICAN GUN TO
Be EQUAL Of FOREIGN l5-|NCHERS
American Vessels Now Building Will Mount These For
midable and Powerful Weapons-United States
Has Kept Pace With Modern Changes.

Washington, Nov S.-Battleships
now building for the United States
navy will carry 14-inch, fifty caliber,
guns which are believed by ordnance
experts to be the equal of the 15-inch
weapons in foreign navies although of
lighter weight. In his annual report.
made public today, Rear Admiral
Joseph Strauss. chief OF the navy ord
nance bureau, says:
with the object of keeping pace
with the increased range of modern
naval warfare the bureau has in
creased the power Of the 14-inch guns
for the California. Mississippi and
Idaho by increasing tho length of the
gun to SO calibers and enlarginS its
chamber capacity. In order that these
latest additions to the navy should
carry the highest type of artillery the
bureau took the bold step Of ordering
trial gun. The bureaus confidence in
its design has been fully justified. The
first gun proved not only gave the
designed velocity and pressure exact
", but it's additional longitudinal
strength which has been provided for
has resulted in these guns having less
droop than any guns of large caliber
heretofore produced. AS 1t stands
these guns although Of lesser caliber
and weight than the 15-inch guns now
mounted abroad, are capable of pene-
trating tho heaviest side armor at OBJ
liQue impacts and at the greatest effec-
tive battle range. and give US the ad-
vantage of fatter trajectory, with
greater volume Of fire due to the in
creased number that we are permitted
Grand Forks daily herald., 1915-11-08

to mount on any ship of equal dis
placement. n
I'm August, 1914, type 1s-inch
gun of AZ calibers length was tested.
This gun fulfilled the highest axpecta-
ttons of it's design, and the bureau
believes 1t to be as powerful q gun
as is in existence today"
United States Has Kept Pace.
The report shows that the navy'a
armament has been kept well UP to
date, older type 5-inch guns having
been replaced on all ships Of the. first
line: that anti-aircraft rifles OF skies
up to 4-inch rifles have been designed.
and that mounts for the disappearing
guns for submarines have been lsslilt.
The latter weapons will be given an
increased elevation so that they may
fire at aeroplanes. @
Dificulty has been encountered In
placing contracts for a sufficient num-
ber of the new arnor piercing pro1ec-
tiles for big guns now being used by
war IL indicated by the fact that pro-
jectiles were purchased in 1918 at
1890 each while those contracted for
in 1915 cost s415. Part of the In
creased cost, however, is due to the
new design. Satisfactory S-inch pro-
jectiles have been produced at the
naval gun factory and larger shells
are now being made there.
Piercing Shells of Importance.
As to the value Of armor piercing
shells the report says experiments
during the year have strengthened the
view that missiles Of this type but
carrying high explosive in limited
quantities. are superior to high ex-

The control in other food supplies

spent enormous sums for meat and

When q shortage was evident We put
