GOES THROUGH ARMOR
Bic Guns of Pennsylvania Will Pierce
Maximum Armor :AflOat.

Secretary Daniels Sunday night is
sued a statement on the big guns OF
the American fleet. While concedlng
that the British battleship Queen
Elizabeth's guns throw a larger she'll,
MIR. aDniels points out that she car
ries only eight 15-inch rifles, COM
pared with twelve 14-inch weapons
on the United States battleship Penn
sylvania.
There is an axiom with regard to
aclibre which amounts to this: That
a shin should mount the smallest big
gun that will pierce the enemy's ar
NOR over vitals at the maximum
probable fighting range, says the
secretarys statement. The 14-lnch
guns of the Pennsylvania will get
through the maximum armor afloat,
so far as our knowledge goes, at a
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 l4-inch
guns of the Pennsylvania Will range
a littre farther than the Queen Ellz-
abeth'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 de-
livered by the Pennsylvania IN a
given time will exceed thcse given py
the Queen Elizabeth by 20 per cent
No one can doubt the advisabillty OF
delivering seventeen hits to ten OF
the enemy.
"Now, if we compare these guns
at range greater than armor-plerc'
ing range we find that the Pennsyl'
vans guns range quite as far as
maximum as those Of the Queen EilZ
abeth. Both guns range 1arther lhaH
they would have any hope OF Elt1ins
a ship"

PLAN FOR DEFENSE
Counsel for McAdoo and Williams
Prepare for Banks Attacks.

Counsel for Secretary McAdoo and
Comptroller Williams have completed
preliminary plans for the defense to
be made when the Riggs National
bank Injunction proceedings are TAX
en- up in the District of Columbia su-
preme court May -. It now is re-
garded as almost certain that no at
tempt will be made to institute GRIM
inal proceedings against the bank, if
at all, before the defense in the civil
case has been begun.
Government lawyers are expected
to base their defense largely on the
ground that there has been no con-
spiracy between Mr.. McAdoo and Mr..
Williams to injure the bank; that
anything they have appeared to DO
in concert was done lawfully and
with entire propriety. The govern
ment will maintain that neither Of
fetal exceeded his lawful power. The
complaint of the bank was directed
mainly at Mr.. Williams and the de-
tense will devote more attention to
his power under the national bank
laws than to justification of acts IN
which the secretary of the treasury
figured.

IS GAILLARD CUT NOW
CULEBRA RENAMED TO HONOR
SOUTH CAROLINIAN.
Executive Order Changes Designation
Of Excavation in Which Hero of
Peace Labored so Faithfully.

President Wilson Wednesday sign
ed an executive order changing the
name of Culebra cut in the Panama
canal to Gaillard cut, in honor Of the
late Lieut.. Col. David DuBose Gail
lard, engineer corps, U. S. A. Col.
Gaillard as a member Of the 18th
mian canal commission had charge
for more than six years Of the cen
trail division of the zone, extending
from Gatun to Pedro Miguel and in
cluding Cutebra.
Debilitated by the tropical climate,
he so exerted himself, against urgent
medical advice, in his zeal to forward
his work that his strength was over
taxed. His death, therefore, at johns
Hopkins hospital, December I, 1918,
was directly ascribable to zeal for the
success of the canal project.
Col. Gaillard was second to Col.
Goethals. Had he lived he would
have been placed in charge Of the
canal zone. He handled engineering
problems far more difficult than any
that his associates in the commission
encountered.
= Born at Fulton, Sumter county, S.
c., in 1859, David DuBose Gaillard
was educated at Mount Zion Acad-
emy, Winnsboro, S. c., and at West
Point. He was married in Winns-
boro, shortly after he entered the
army, to Miss katherine Ross Davis
of Columbia sister to the late R.
Means Davis of the University Of
South Carolina. Mrs. Gaillard sur
wives her husband, with son, Pierre
Gaillard.
Col. Gaillard's more important
tours of duty were as follows: Col
onel, Third U. S. Y. Engineers, June
Z, 1898, to May II, 1899; assistant
to Capt. W. NJ. Black and in charge
of various surveys and harbor i'm
proven ents at St. Augustine, Tampa
and Withlacoochee river, Florida,
1SS7-91; member of the internation-
al boundary commission, United
States and Mexico, 1914; in charge
of Washington aqueduct, and other
projects in vicinity of Washington,
1858; assistant to engineer COM
missioner of District of Columbia,
1899-1901; in charge of all river and
harbor improvement, Lake Superior
district, 1913; member of general
staff corps and engineer officer,
Northern division, 1904; on duty
at Army War college, 1904-6; chief
of the military information division,
army of Cuban pacifcation, at Mari
ano, Cuba, October, 1906, to Febru-
ary, 1907; member of the Isthmian
canal commission and director Of the
Panama railroad, from March l6,
1907, to his death. Col. Gaillard
during the first year of his member
ship in the canal commission was
supervising engineer N charge OF

for operations is absorbed in Tie new
post, will begin his duties on, the stctr
of the naval war college ct Newport.

di1 -tion, for operation of the fleets
in time of war and their movements
in normal periods. In the absence OF
the secretary and the assistant secrc-
tary, he will be acting secretary OF

erations, not below captain IN rank,

EMDEN'S CREW ESCAPE
German Sailors Escape and Make
Long Trip-Repulse Attack.

The crew of the German 'warship'
Aysha, composed of men who escap-
ed when the cruiser Emden was de-
stroyed by an Australian warshlp in
the Indian ocean last November, have
escaped again from allied patrol
ships. They arrived at the Arabian
harbor of Lidd, March 81. They Gov
cred by sea the 800 miles from Ho-
deida to Lidd.
After reaching the coast the sail
ors attempted to continue their jour
ney overland, but were attacked by
Arabs, supposedly at the instigation!
of the English. After three days
stubborn fighting the attacks were
repulsed and they reached the rosd
to Hodachas, where the railway was
open. The adventurous Germans sui
fered heavy losses.

set out to the rescue.

Boats of every description were at
cnce hurried to the rescue from all
the towns notified, but it was more
than an hour before the beat from
the cape, the first to reach the scene,
arrived. Not 6, trace Of the cruiser
herself remained above water, but
the sec was dotted with half-clad
men. many of them wounded by the
explosion, clinging desperately to the
buovant objects.
By morning, all who survived had
been brought ashore. most Of them
oeing taken to Taranto, where cloth
Ing and supplies are being despatch
ed to them, and the wounded and
many others suffering from the en-
posure are receiving medical atten-
ton.

RECOGNIZE NO FACTION
Washington to Go Slow in Consider
ING Mexican Affairs.

RECOGNITION of any Of the Mexican
factions during the present uncertain
state of affairs is not contemplated by
the United States, according to eX-
pressions by high officials.
Secretary Bryan told inquirers that
the subject Of recognition had not
reached the point Of formal consio-

House said President Wilson intend
ed to study the question carefully be-

ernment to recognition and that he
