Heavy Damage Reported Done In
Germany.
Dispatches received at Rotterdam
tell of heavy damage by fires through
out Germany. A chemical factory at
Lauenthal, near Danzig, was de-
stroyed, with $4,000 loss. Seven
sheds and a number of locomotives
were burned on the East Prussian
railway at Koenigsberg. One of the
biggest tanneries in Germany was
fired by bombs dropped from French
aeroplane at Strassburg.
The damage was estimated at
$1,OOO,OOO, and. the loss is felt more
severely because of the shortage of
leather and its great need in Ger
many now.

BATTERY OF BIG GUNS DESIGNED IN
AMERICA.
tleshipS is one that has received the
most careful consideration on the part
of the bureau of ordnance and the gen.
eral board.
There is an axiom with regard to
calibers which amounts to this: That
a ship should mount the smallest big
gun that will pierce the enemy's armor
over vitals at the maximum probable
fighting range. The fourteen inch guns
of the Pennsylvania will get through
the maximum armOr afloat, so far as
our knowledge goes, at range of 12,-
600 yards. The Queen Elizabeth's fif-
teen inch guns will do little more than
that. II our information is correct as
to the velocity of the British fifteen
inch gun the fourteen inch guns on
the Pennsylvania will range a little
farther than the Queen Elizabeth's If
teen inch gun. The flatter trajectory
Of the fourteen inch gun gives 1t ill.,
creased probability Of hitting in COM
parison with the fifteen inch gun.
guns to the Queen Elizabeth's eight
Therefore the volume of fire of our
ship exceeds the volume Of fire Of the
British ship by so per cent.
The navy department has built and
proved a sixteen inch gun superior to
both the fifteen inch and fourteen inch
50 far as penetration of armor at fight
ing range Is concerned. If the Penn
aylvania were to be armed with the
sixteen inch gun she could carry only
eight as against the twelve fourteen
inch guns now assigned her. If we
adopted the fifteen inch caliber we
would have to make sacrifice in num-
Der Of guns as great or nearly as great
as was done in the design of the Queen
Elizabeth.
Counting volume Of fire and proba-
bility of hitting. we see that at battle
range the number of blows delivered
by the Pennsylvania in a given time
will exceed those given by the Queen
Elizabeth by 20 per cent. The fifteen
inch gun, 1t is stated. fires a shell
weighing 1920 pounds. Our fourteen
inch shell weighs 1,4O0 pounds. The
bursting effect of the larger shell will
be greater. of course, but we have lit
tie doubt that the destructive effect Of
the burst Of the fourteen inch shell will
be quite sufficient for its task. No one
can doubt the ACCESSIBILITY Of delivering
seventeen hits to ten of the enemy.
Added to all Of the above, we must
recollect that the chance of having
gunfire survive rests with the ship car
rying the greater number.
"Now, If we compare these guns at
range greater than battle range or
armor piercing range and merelyqcount
the ability to reach the enemy's decks
or unarmored parts we find that the
Pennsylvania 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 hit
ting a ship-that Is TO say, over 21,OO0
yards, or something like twelve land
! milaS."
