POWERFUL new GUNS OF NAVY
DECLARED EQUAL TO 15-:NCH
WEAPONS IN FOREIGN FLEETS
California, Mississippi, and Idaho,
Latest Additions, Garry Highest
Type of Artillery.

Washington, Nov. 8. - Battleships
now building for the United States
navy will carry 14-inch, 50-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 re-
port, just made public, Rear Admiral
Joseph Strauss, chief of the navy
ordnance bureau, says:
with the object of keeping pace
with the increased range of modern
naval warfare the bureau has increas-
ed the power of the 14-inch guns for
the California, Mississippi, and Idaho
by increasing the length Of the gun
to so calibers and enlargins its cham
Der capacity. In order that these lat
est additions to the navy should carry
the highest type of artillery the bu-
their guns without manufacturing a
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
ly, but it's additional longitudinal
strength which has been provided for
has resulted in these guns having less
droop than any guns of larger caliber
heretofore produced. AS it stands
these guns, although of lesser caliber
and weight than the 15-inch guns now
mounted abroad, are capable of pene-
trating the heaviest side armor at
oblique impacts and at the greatest
effective battle range, and give us
the advantage of fiatter trajectory,
with greater volume of fire due to the
increased number that we are per-
mitted to mount on any ship OF equal
displacement"

ATTACKS WILSON'S
DEFENSE PROGRAM
FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE
BRYAN ISSUES FORMAL
STATEMENT.
FIGHT IN CONGRESS EXPECTED
Nebraskan Says: 81 Have Read the
Presidents Speech With Sorrow
and Concern. feel 1t My
Duty to Dissent"

Washington, Nov. 6.-Former Sec
rotary Bryan came out squarely
against President Wilson's national
defense plan in a formal statement in
which he took issue with the Presi-
dents views as expressed before the
Manhattan club in New York.
The club" he said, was no place
for the enunciationu of such a program,
being the one place in the United
States where the mammon worshiping
portion Of the Democratic party meet
to exchange compliments.
"A departure from our traditions,
a reversal of our national policy, a
menace to our peace and safety and
a challenge to the spirit of Christi
anity, which teaches us 70 influence
others by example rather than by OK
citing fear" is Mr.. Bryan's view Of
the national defense plans.
Opening Gun in Fight.
The former secretary of states
statement, which reiterates views he
has previously expressed on the sub
ject Of preparedness for war, was re-
garded as the opening gun in the
fight which administration leaders ex-
pect In Congress against adoption of
the plan.
Mr.. Bryan's statement in part says:
Il have read the Presidents speech
at New York with sorrow and CON
Germ. 1 feel it my duty to dissent,
and as he has given his views with
ciearness and emphasis, those who
differ with him are under a like obli-
cation to express themselves with
equal clearness."
And if he is giving voice to the
opinion of his ~countrymen," Bryan
continued, "he is anxious to have
them as frank with him as he has
been with them-how otherwise can
he know whether he represents or
misrepresents their views?
Country Not Threatened.
why reverse our policy at this
time? The President himself admits
there is no reason for change. He
says the country is not threatened
from any quarter; she stands in
friendly relation with all the world
and to make the statement more en-
phatic, he adds: There is no fear
among us, why is this time chosen to
revolutionize our national theory and
to exchange our policy for the policy
of Europe? Why abandon the hope
setting an example to Europe?"

AnnIo-ltaIian Force Lands in Albania
to Bring Relief to Serba-Political
Crisis in Greece Is Overcome
With Organization of Cabi-
net Favoring Neutrality.

London, Nov. e.-M. S%kouloudis, the
new Greek premier, has declared his
intention Of observing al attitude Of
very benevolent neutrality toward the
entente powers.
London, Nov. "a huge force Of
troops is being hurried to Serbia by
the Entente powers; just how large
they are is carefully concealed, but
f~ragmentary dispatches from Saloniki
and other points show that the move
ment is much heavier than has been
heretofore supposed.
The landing of troops at that port
is on a greatly increased scale, so
much so that new arrangements have
been made with the Greek govern
ment for the use Of additional
wharves and piers and for more ex-
tensive railway facilities.
French Take Bulear Towns.
The men are being sent north as
fast as they arrive on an almost o
tinuous line of trains. For the mo-
ment the greatest activity is in the
south, where it is reported the French
have crossed the Bulgarian frontier
and have already captured several
villages.
From Saloniki it is reported that q
division Of Bulgarians, 5000 strong,
is trying to surround or cut off the
French army near Valandovo. An i'm
portant battle is in progress there
with the result as yet undetermined.
Some Bulgarian shells, it is re-
ported, have reached the railway
north of Guevgheli, but this has not
prevented the movement north Of the
entente troops. A large British con-
tingent was landed at Saloniki.
The Anglo-Italian force, according
to an Athens report, has landed at
Avlona, on the Adriatic, for the pur-
pose Of forcing a way across Albania
to the relief of the Serbs.
Russians to Invade Bulgaria.
The Russians, it is said, are still
gathering a large force in ~Bessabaria,
for the invasion of Bulgaria. AL
though the Central powers have ac-
complished their main purpose, which
was to open a road to Constantinople,
there is still much fighting before
them.
Battles of Importance are in pro-
gress o in the south, in the north,
in the east and on the Montenegro
frontier. The Austro-Germans report
they are advancing all along the line
and have reached and crossed at some
points along the Morava river.
The political crisis in Greece, which
has clouded the Balkans, has been
finally overcome, Mr.. Skouloudis hav-
ing accepted and performed the task
of organizing a cabinet, which, being
composed of all the members of the
Zaimis government with the excep-
ton Of the ex-premier himself, will
carry on the former governments
policy of maintaining neutrality.
While the Allies now can have lit
tie hope Of Greece aiding them in the
defense of Serbia, the belief is still
held here that it is not too late to
turn the tables on the invaders. The
departure for the East of Lord Kitch-
enc leads to the belief that the cam
paign is to be carpied on energeti-
cally by the man who knows the East
better than almost anyone else.
