LATEST j. 5. VYGuN.MAKES
PENNSYLVANIA STRONGEST SHIP

TO the queen El1ZaDethS eight. There.
fore, the volume of fire of our ship ex.
ceeds the volume of fire of the British
ship by so per cent.
The navy department has built and
proved 16-inch gun superior to both
the 15-inch and 14-inch, so far as pene.
tration of armor at fighting range is
concerned. If the Pennsylvania were
to be armed with the 16-inch gun she
could carry only eight, as against the
IL I4-inch guns now assigned her. II
we adopted the 15-fnch caliber we
would have to make a sacrifice In
number of guns as great or nearly as
great as was done in the design OF
the Queen Elizabeth.
Counting volume of fire and pro-
bability of hitting, we see that at
battle range the number of blows de-
liyered by the Pennsylvania in a CIV
en- time will exceed those given by the
Queen Elizabeth by 20 per cent. The
15inch gun, It is stated, fires shell
weighing 1920 pounds. Our 14-inch
shell weighs 400 pounds. The burst
ing effect of the larger shell will be
greater, of course, but we have little
doubt that the destructive effect of
the burst of the 14-inch will be quite
sufficient for its task. No one can
doubt the adyisability of delivering 10
hits to 10 of the enemy. Added to all
of the above, we must recollect that
the chance of having gun fire survive
rests with the ship carrying the great
er number.
Now, if we compare these guns at
range greater than battle range or
armor-piercing range, and merely
count the ability to reach the enemy's
decks or unarmored parts, we find that
the Pennsylvania guns range quite
as far, at maximum, as those OF
the Queen Elizabeth. Both guns range
farther than they would have any
hope of hitting ship; that is to say,
over $1,000 yards, or something like
10 land miles +" - ..-.--. s-# .r.

IGETS A SHINE
Secretary Daniels Shows Why
American Vessel Beats the
Queen Elizabeth

In his recent letter giving detailed
review of what had been done to i'm
prove and strengthen the navy since
Wilson was inaugurated, Secretary
Daniels made this statement:
The bureau of ordnance has deYel-
oped 14-inch gun that will shoot far
Their, shoot straighter, and hit harder
than any gun now in use or known to
be designed by foreignI country"
There has been much interest in the
matter of the effectiveness of the guns
of the navy, and yesterday secretary
Daniels gave out the following con-
tanning information simplifying his
earlier statement:
The question of the proper caliber
for the main battery guns of our bat
tleships is one that has received the
most careful consideration on the part
of the bureau of ordnance and the
general board ~
: There is an axiom with regard to
calibers which amounts to this: That
ship should mount the smallest big
gun that will pierce the enemy's ar
NOR over vitals at the maximum prob
able fighting range The l4-inch guns
of the Pennsylvania viii get through
the maximum armor afioat, so far as
our knowledge goes, at range OF
10000 yards The Queen Elizabeth's
15-inch guns will do little more than
that. II our information is correct
as to the velocity of the British 15-inch
gun, the 14-inch guns on the PennsyE

the Queen Elizabeth's 15-inch gun.

gun gives it increased probability of

The effect is quite lovely, I think.
And that phrase, picture frame

out its full effect-an effect impos-

that the ideas don't come so readily or so

For instance-most people would not think
of making anything out OF anything except
accepted dress fabrics. There are the con.

mustn't be disturbed. Nonsensei Some
times I see piece of cloth that Is intended

And that is the reason always advise
