MAKES FURTHER REPLY
TOSECRETARY DANIELS
Representative Gardner Writes For.
mer President Taft on General
Naval Situation.

In letter to former President Taft,
a further reply to Secretary Daniels on
the general naval situation, is made by
Representative A. p. Gardner OF Massa-
chusetts. The letter was mailed by Rep
resentative Gardner yesterday. and as
serts that quality and team play are what
count in naval guns, not necessarily
quantity and size
In the course of his letter Representa-
tive Gardner says:
Il am glad to be able to agree with
Secretary Daniels that the broadside
of the Pennsylvania. with its twelve
fourteen-inch guns. is mightier than
the broadside of the British dread
naught Queen Elizabeth. with her bat
terry of eight ffteen-inch guns. and
this in spite of the fact that the Brit
ish projectile is more than 500 pounds
heavier than ours. The British pro-
jectile weighs 1920 pounds; ours
weighs l.400 pounds.
Why the Pennsylvania
But why does the Secretary pick out
the Pennsylvania. which will not be
complete till next year. to compare
with vessel now bombard1ng the
Dardanelles forts? Why not take the
of comparisono They are the only two
ships in commission in the United
States Navy which carry guns bigger
than twelve inches in diameter. Each
of these ships has a battery of only
ten fourteen-inch guns. In other
words. the weight of their broadsides
is $4,000 pounds. as against broad
side from the Queen Elizabeth weigh
ing 1880 pounds.
Unless man is wllfully blind. the ex-
PLANTATION of the whole gun question is
perfectly plain The British admiralty
prefers dreadnaughts with a little less
tonnage and a little greater speed than
ours. Furthermore, the British admiralty
prefers battery of a lesser number OF
f1fteen-inch guns, while we prefer bat
inch guns. That is all there is to it.
But there is deal of humbug going on
about these naval guns. 1t is not as II
they were land guns. On land you can
build guns Of unlimited size and number.
On shipboard what you gain in one direc-
ton you must cut down in another.
When Team Play Counts.
I'm a naval battle am inch or two in
the diameter of the guns is not likely to
make so much difference as a little better
team play in the working of the guns
In fact. last winter there was testimony
De1Ore the committee on naval aHalrS IN
Washington to the effect that some people
thought we made a mistake in adopting
foureen-inch naval gun instead of a
tWelve-inch naval gun.
AS a matter of fact l have no,
heard of any one turning up his nose
| either at the thirteen-and-one half
inch gun or at the fourteen-inch CUR
or at the fifteen-inch gun Our nava
guns would be all right if we haC
enough of them and enough of the
right sort of ships on which to noun,
them. Unfortunately, eighty of oul
big guns are mounted on pre- dread.
| naughts. type of battleship about a:
much up-to-date as tWo-cylinder au.
tomobile. Likewise, sixteen other OF
our big guns are mounted on the two
| near-dreadnaughts, Michigan and South
Carolina, which were relegated, March
3. 1915, to the second line of battle
| ships"

Roy Courtney, aged Is years, who is employed by Joe Gray at his place on the Sulphur Springs road about 1h miles from the courthouse mar rowly escaped death by incineration about II o'clock last night, when fire destroyed the Gray home, with all it's contents.
 The flames had gained great head way when they were discovered by a neighbor, MT. Love, who gave the alarm by firing pistol. Courtney was asleep in the house, and had thumb-latched all the doors, Mir. Gray and his daughter being at MT. Gray's other place, on the Warren road. Courtney was so excited when awakened, he was unable to unfasten the doors, and neighbors broke through window to allow the youth to escape.
 The cause of the fire is not known. There had been no fires in the house since noon Tuesday. The house, which was valued at $1,000, and all the furniture, clothing and other furnishings, were destroyed. The az gregate loss is estimated at $2,0OO, with only a small amount of insur- anCe,

PROPERTY OWNERS LOSE. Counsel Doesn't BcneVe
 They Can Collect Damages.

After holding another session last night the council committee on the | Mill street problem was unable to reach a final decision as to what damages, if any, the property owners should receive for land taken when
 the street was strengthened at the South Mairs street end. Corporation
 Counsel J. E. Cooper and City En-
 gineer w. H. Hall were present and
 the former expressed the belief that
 when all was done and said the claim
 of William Behnke was the only valid
 one. The action of the council was never clear, whether the old section
 of the street was really abandoned When the changes in the street were made 1t was little better than a sand road and owners of property at the South Main street end received ninety feet of land for only $75. This land has greatly enhanced in value since then Judge Cooper doubted whether the property owners should obtain any redress from the courts as the situation is so tangled.
 Councilman May thought the com- m1ttec should see what damages the property owners are entitled to. Councilman Dolan said he understood William Behnke would accept the award made by the board of compen- sat1on and assessment. It appeared to Councilman May that the city put one over On the property owners when the work was done and the old street abandoned. The property owners SUD- posed the old road was to be fixed but the first they knew the city cut through with new layout Alder man Anderson said the people didn't understand the situation until it was too late.
