CAN ARM IN SHORT TIME.
From Three to Five Days Necessary to
Prepare Ships.

| Washington, ID. c., March 3.--With
guns, mounts and ammunition for arm
ing American merchant ships already as
sembled at navy yards putting the weap-
oDs aboard can begin Immediately on
orders from President Wilson. Navy Of
| ficials estimate that it would take from
three to five days per ship, working un-
der pressure, to equip vessels previously
surveyed for possible use as naval aux
iliaries. A longer time will be required
for others.
Every important Atlantic coast navy
yard is ready to undertake work on ships
in its district on telegraphic instruc-
tions.
The work probably would be done at
navy yards in order that machinery for
handling heavyweights quickly could be
used. Merchant craft would be sent to
the yards in turn as their applications
are approved. Ships first scheduled TO
sail would be the first named.
Under the Senate bill full compile
ment of guns may be placed on board
each ship. The big liners would
carry six six-inch guns each for war
purposes and probably would carry two
or more for defense against submarines.
Where a steamers decks are not strong
enough to carry the weight of gun,
new bracing would be necessary. A six
inch, 50-calibre naval gun weighs near
ly 10000 pounds without its mount,
while a three-inch weapon weighs about
1900.
The question of providing gun crews
would be taken up for each ship sep
arately, according to present plans. If
former navy gunners with good records
as marhsmen are available, they will be
employed II not, enlisted crews from
the navy yards or reserve warships viii
be assigned to man the guns. The de-
partment is anxious to avoid as far as
possible weakening the strength of its
fighting line in gunners.
II is possible that machine guns would
be placed aboard merchant ships as well
as the big rifles. Reports from Great
Britain say that machine gun fire against
submarines has been found exceedingly
effective.
Officers here believe the machine guns
carried by swift aeroplanes are proving
the most effective weapons against Yep
pelins. A new type of ammunition has
been developed. Bullets carrying chemi-
Gals that win set on fire the gas in a
bag are followed at intervals
by tracer shots, showing string of
sparks like rockets trail by night. BY
means OF these tracers the gunner can |
gauge his fire and sweep the aircraft |
with great precision if he gets within |
range. Some similar scheme may be /
adopted here for night fire against sub
marines.
