NEW YORK, March Ill a m. }
What effect the Is inch guns of the
British superdreadnaught Queen Eliz
abeth has produced on the Dardanelles
fort, is the predominant question for
the allied governments, anxiously
waiting upon the experiment. for fore,
ing the Turkish waterway.
There is no previous data on which
to base predictions Of the power OF
Queen Elizabath's rifles when pitted
naval guns are as new in warfare as
the German ~ centimetsr mortars.
What they can accomplish will not
be known until the Dardaaelles test
has been completed. They ought not
to be capable Of the same relative
damages as the AZ centimaters. The
latter are designed largely for sur
face explosion. They can detonate
outside turret and shove it from its
base. Naval shells, however, are made
especially for penetrating power.
They do little damage II they explode
along a fast moving warship They
must enter into the steel armor be-
fore accomplishing their purpose and
by simply making small hole below
ships water line, they may inflict
fatal injury
Hence much of the explosive force
of a naval shell it sacrificed for bor-
ing power. The ability to penetrate
has not the same result when direct
ed against land defenses for a hole
pierced through a fort Is not serious

NEW YORK. March Mrs. Rich.
ard P. Stegler, wife of Richard P.
Stegler, the German reservist, who
now is in Tombs prison in the pass
port fraud case, spent last night in a
cell and was today scheduled to face
a judge in the west end court. The
charge against her is felonious as
sault and brought by Arthur w. Ma
paper, who alleged Mrs. Stegler hit
him on the head with cane and
threw a seltzer bottle at him.
She was arrested in suite of
rooms occupied by Mateikat and her
self at the Hotel Grenoble They en-
tered the hotel about II O'Clock and
Mateikat called the police about I:30
o'clock Mrs. Stegler admitted her
Identity at the police station. She said
she had been framed" because of her
confessions in the passport fraud
case. She told straightforward story
to the police.
He says I injured his head. Look
at it--does it show any brlIises?' Ex-
animation failed to reveal any.
Mrs. Stegler was fully dressed when
detectives arrived. Examination of
the switchboard register at the hotel
showed that Mateikat called his paper
four times during the time he was Iii
the apartment with Mrs. Stegler.
Mrs Stegler said she was induced
to go to the hotel with Mateikat by
his promise to reveal to her certain
important news" about the passport
case.
