US. S. PENNSYLVANIA
MAKES TARGET RECORD
Grim Dreadnought Hits Five
Times in Twelve Shots at
Unseen Marks

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1B.--The remaTk-
able performance of hitting a target at a
distance OF $4,000 yards or approximately
eleven sea miles. invisible to the gunners,
five times out Of twelve shots fired in a
simultaneous salvo, has Just boen made by
the new superdreadnought Pennsylvania in
firing tests conducted I'm the Chesapeake
Bay. The Pennsylvania is armed with a
main battery OF twelve fourteen-inch guns
These were fred last week I'm a single salvo
at the distance stated, and at that distance
Ave OF the twelve shots hit the target.
Photographic record Of the fall of the
twelve shots has been made and sent to
the Navy Department.
II is believed by ordnance experts that
this constitutes worlds record.
The firing took place at Tangier Sound. in
Chesapeake Bay. and the target was the
sunken hulk of the San Marcos. formerly
the battleship Texas. which has for the last
five years been used as a target for various
important ordnance experiments by the
Bureau of Ordnance of the navy.
The firing I'm which this record was made
was part Of the official testing Of the guns
Of the Pennsylvania to ascertain what they
could do under various conditions. II was
not test of the gunners but OF the guns
that was planned, because ordnance experts
wanted TO know just what the fourteen-inch
guns with which the Pennsylvania is armed
would accomplish in salvo firing
The guns were tried in various ways in
single shots and otherwise. to test the
ballstics of the weapons and the working
Of the guns and their turrets. Ordnance ex-
perts also sought to discover whether the
firing OF these guns under actual service
conditions would develop defects in either
guns or their turrets No such defects were
developed.

prints for a well-intentioned futurist.
We have become artistic, you know"
If there was q covert sneer in the
last words Farquhar was not in po-
sition to notice it, for he had already
begun to cross the room. One or two
people spoke to him, but he answered
absently, and they did not detain him.
A pair of heavy tapestry curtains sepa-
rated the so-called library from the
drawing room. He pushed them softly
aside and entered.
Sylvia Omney stood at the long table
beneath the subdued cluster of electric
light, her head bowed, her back toward
him. She did not seem to hear his en-

was not looking at the great folio
which lay spread out before her, but
staring sightlessly into the shadows,
her cheeks bathed in color, her lips
parted in breathless anticipation. A
moment later she lifted her hands to
her face, and he saw that she trembled.
He knew then that she was conscious
of his presence, and that that same
awe and dread of their dawning ,happi-
ness held her as it had held him In
paralyzed waiting.

She did not turn. She looked up

"Cut his throat probably" She
glanced back at him with a curious lit
tie smile on her colorless face. "All the
same, Sylvia is lucky. 1 am rather
proud of you myself, Richard. You
are the only man l know who dresses
in perfect taste without looking vul-
gar noodle. Good night
She kissed him hurrledly as he held
the door open for her, and for an in
slant she looked up into his face with
curious half-tender, half-whimsical
grimace. Then she was gone.
An hour later Richard Farquhar en-
tered the Omneys' drawing room. He
found his host by the fireside, a some
what lone figure with the white, thin
face of man never wholly at rest.
He greeted Farquhar eagerly and
nervously. Wei expected you be-

Farquhar answered. 81 came my first

The elder man seemed to shrink to-

shoulder, and his face was gray and
sunken.
"There is no news, Farquhar. We
