not make an inspiring call to the col

headed, '.Avenge Scarborough! Up and

of the country to enlist and avenge the

Proiectiles capable of piercing liz
inches OF steel armor at a distance OF
more than 10 miles can be fired from
new coast defense guns to be installed
by the United States army in the de-
lenses at the Panama canal and Manila
bay, according to the annual report OF
Brigadier General Crozier. chief OF the
bureau of ordnance, made public here
today.
These are new 1s-inch guns of great
CT caliber than those heretofore installed
in American defenses and of greater
power. They win discharge shells
weighing 1860 pounds each with a
maximum effective range of $4,000
yards, or a little more than 10 miles.
The guns Of this type already made
have been thoroughly tested and found
wholly satisfactory, General CroZier as
other guns for the army and arsenal at
Watervliet has been working on a day
a~nd-night for more than a year.
T~wenty-three Of the latest type of L.
inch mortars were made during the
last year and all were sent to the Pan
anna canal; These have a maSimum
range Of about II miles. A new two
inch gun and a new type OF S.S-inch
field howitzer have been %delevoped by
the bureau. Another hoWitZer
of still larger size has been also con-
structed for use at the Panama forth
fications. 1t is a wire-wound gun, fire
ing q 6%0-pound projectile.
General Crozier defends the system OF
scientific shop management in opera
ton at some of the army a%rsenals. He
declares that much of the opposition to
what has been done in the arsenals is
unwise. as he contends both the en-
ployes and the government have profit
ed by the system.
He says there is nc undue %crowding
OF the workmen or driving them to too
great a speed under the system as in
stalled in the war department shops.
Genera Cro2ier recommends that nc
legislation be enacted until the commits

FINE OBLIGATORY CONCERT
AT ST. CLEMENTS CHURCH
Only One Disappointment, but That
Is Made Good-Music
to Be Repeated.

In every feature, the dedicatory
concert given at the opening of the
new pipe organ at st. Clements
church, last Thursday evening, was
success. The congregation that
listened to the vocal and instrumental
selections filled the large room to
OVERLOOKING, and it was a finely
critical and appreciative audience.
There was just one disappointment,
the enforced absence of the Rev. M.
J. Kinney. But Nj. Byington and
Harry E. Gross doubled up, each
giving an additional selection, so the
number of pieces advertised was
given.
There never is anything but praise
heard for the selections given by Mr..
and Mrs. Gross, and they fu ly sus-
tanned their regulations On this oc-
casion. The Misses Burrows and
Wissbaum, were finely applauded. and
the playing of the organist of st.
Clements, Sister Winifred, was
most excellent. To her much credit
must be given, for she not only
played as one inspired, but to con-
siderable extent she trained the
singers of the vocal selections.
These were rendered by members of
the choir. and without exception
were splendidly given.
A promise is given that at an early
date, at some Sunday forenoon mass,
the solo, cave Maria, "will be re-
peated by Miss Elizabeth Belken. as
will the selections, 'tOur Lady of
Good Counsel and CANCELS Are

nounced, they will attract large
number of persons to hear them
