THROUGH STEEL FOOT THICK
Great Power Of the Fifteen-Inch Guns
Now In Use in the European
War.

We hear much and have read more
about the power of big guns and havoc
they create, yet very few people really
understand the immense power behind
one Of these modern engines of de-
structlon, writes q war correspondent.
What, for instance, do you understand
by the "power of 15-inch gun7"
driven seven miles away from the wall.
IL inches thick and made of the hard
est steel; then take an automobile and
drive seven miles away from the wall,
Arrived at that point you will find
big gun aimed at the wall you have
left seven miles behind and which you
cannot see. Go over to the gun and
pull the lanyard. The steel that you
release by pulling this lanyard will
travel through the air the entire dis
lance you have come by automobile
and will go right through the 12-inch
steel wall.
The most powerful land guns ever
made are the German howitzers, or
16.5-inch guns. The most formidable
steel and concrete forts are cracked
open by these huge guns as though
they were made of paper. Naval guns
cannot be developed to the same size
as land guns because 1t is more diff
cult to handle one of these aboard a
ship. For that reason the greatest eff
fective range with naval gun Is from
eight to ten miles. The largest naval
gun is the 15-inch gun on the famous
British superdreadnaught Queen Eli
zabeth, while the German 42-centimet-
er howitzer, which reduced Antwerp
and other fortresses believed impreg-
nable, is the most powerful land gun.
The great guns aboard the Queen Eli
zabeth fire projectiles which weigh q
ton. The United States, however, now
has guns defending the Panama canal
and New York, which hurl through the
air mass of metal weighing almost
400 pounds more than the British SUI
perdreadnaughts guns.
