ABOUT THE RANGE OF CANNON
(Lonoon Globe

(Lonoon Globe.)
 Since the queen Elizabeth made its dramatic entry Into the war there has been great deal of nonsense written about the range of its guns, which, we have been told. outrange any othei weapon in existence and can send their projeetiles twenty eight miles.
 Of course, If fifteen inch guns are in combat with x-tnoh, the differ. once In range is considerable. but for all practical purposes the twelve inch gun has quite as long a reach as the hrteen- inch. Indeed, the United States government has appended a table to the Notifications appropriation bill which goes to show that, If anything, the advantage in this matter lies with the smaller weapon According to this table. the range of the various guns when trained to an elevation of Is de- grees Is as follows: Twelve-inch "A. S74 yards; l3.6-inch. 21,66s yards; if. teen-inch. 21,1s3 yards. This shows a difference of two miles in favor of the twelve-inch gun as against the fifteen inch
 Range depends largely upon eleva- ton. but as rule naval guns are SO mounted as to be incapable Of firing at a greater angle than about 20 degrees. The official American table, however. credits the British fifteen-inch guns with a range of 46.2O0 yards if elevated 46 degrees. a note being added to the effect that such an elevation Is mot used" This represents close upon twenty-six and one half miles. but firing at such distance would hardly oe effective because of the large angle of the fall of the shot and the conse- quently small danger space"

GARRISON ON new
MILITARY POLICY
Details Of Plan Outlined IN an
Official Statement.

Washington, Nov. "Details OF the
proposed new military policy we're
formally announced by Secretary Of
War Garrison here. TIE secretary
issued a statement disclosing that the
new policy was drafted with view
to making II plan consistent with ex-
listing institutions and public senti-
ment in the United States rather than
one which should be perfect from a
purely military point Of view.
Mr.. Garrison points out that there
Is no possibilj'- at present OF secur-
ing the administration Of this country
sal military service, upon conscrip-
tlon or upon national control OF the
public school system. It Is under
stood that this statement reflects the
nature OF the disagreement between
the secretary and the general staff Of
the army, whose plan for a military
policy was rejected by the secretary
in favor OF much more moderate
| scheme.
For the first year Mr.. Garrison esti-
mates the operation of his plan will
cost a total Of $l3G, ,o00,0 900, including
, s111 100000 for the regular army,
SIG, 100000 for the citizen army and
$40, ,000,0 900. double the current appro'
priation, for the militia. When the
system is in complete operation he
estimates that II will cost $l82.000,'
900, as follows: For the regular army
$137 100000; for the naval guard
100000 for the citizen army, $4b,
OOO, 900. In addition, Mr.. Garrison pro
poses to spend total OF $l04 ,000, ,000
in the next four years on the accumu
lation Of reserve material Of all sorts
and S0,0O0,000 during the same
period for Improvement Of the coas'
defenses According to his estimate
the total army budget for the hrs
year will he SIS2 900, 900. increasing

ALL READY
For Celebration Of A Month
In Japan

Toxic, Japan, Nov. 6--All is ready
for the month of celebration through
out the empire of the accession to
the throne of Emperor Jimmu, the
founder of the Japanese empire, Of
the young emperor YoshihitO. For
several years preparations have been
under way, and the entire nation will
take part. The main celebration will
take place at Kioto, the ancient capi-
tai Of the empire. Today the emper-
or will begin his journey. Accompan.
led by his court, he will make a slow
journey, covering two days, and the
trip will be a triumphal march. For
the imperial sanctuary will accom-
pany the royal party, being especially
transported for the accession rites.
The cavalcade will stop tonight at
the city of Nagoya, and on the NOR
to Kioto. The emperor will not re-
turn TO Toxic until late in the month.
During his stay in the city of his fore.
fathers, he will be honored by peers
and peasants alike, and will take part
In the many ceremonies that have
been handed down through the ages.
The new mikado, like his father,
has lost no opportunity of showing
his interest in and love for his peo-
pie, and has received during the three
years he has been ruling the most un-
swerviDg loyalty and devotion. Dur
ing the difficult period which has in
tervened since the outbreak of the
European war he has attended to af.
fairs of state with earnest diligence
and rare wisdom. The reign Of the
late Emperor Mutsuhito will always
be looked back upon by the Japanese
with peculiar reverence; but the new
era is full of promise.
The Empress adako, who, as the
imperial escort, will share In the cor
onatiOn ceremonies, has won the af-
fection of her people by many acts of
graciousness. She has been taking q
keen interest In matters affecting the
status Of women of japan.
The feature OF the coming ceremon-
les that is hailed with the most de-
light is the fact that for the first time
in the history Of Japan, representa-.
tives of the common people will take
part. For twenty-five centuries none
but the nobility were invited or al
| lowed at the ceremonies.
