GARRISON FOR HEAVY
MOBILE ARTILLERY
To Ask Congress for Money for
Defending the Unprotected
Places Along Coasts.

Secretary Of War Garrison IL prepar-
ing to ask Congress for money to build
up mobile heavy artillery as a means
of defending unprotected places along
the two coast lines.
-Brigadier General Crozler, chief Of
ordnance, has been instructed to make
experiments with gigantic guns capable
of being mounted on railway cars or
motor trucks, so that they may be
transported from place to place and set
up on temporary bases or fred II neces-
sary from the motor car or train.
Mr.. Garrison Will ask that part Of the
S26 OOO. 900 annually asked for ordnance
during a four-year period be set aside
for this purpose.
Ordnance experts OF the army have
obtained a mass OF data from military
observers with the belligerent armies
as to the success achieved In firing big
guns from railway platforms. IT has
been learned, for Instance, that Ger
many has been able to fire 4-inch
howitzers from railway nat cars, braced
to withstand the recoil OF the guns.
Moreover by use OF trains and motor
cars to transport artillery, 1t has been
possible to rush guns from place to
place to meet unexpected defense ana
carry out plans OF attack.
Experiments have been made with a
view to determining the practicability
Of Transporting large siXteen-inoh guns
by rail and transferring them to tenn
porary concrete foundations. Study
has also been given to the type of Eun
] that could be fired from trains. and
the twelve-inch howitzer Is favored by
J experts.
