TELLS OF 1o5-MILE GUN.
Baltimore Man Said to Have Submitted
Plans for New Weapon.

BALTIMORE, March 27-That the
United States government has in its
possession all the details for the con
struction Of a subealibre gun that will
fire a cartridge loaded with $500
pounds OF dynamite los miles was the
assertion made here by a well known
ington. where he has been in consulta
with the heads of the war department
in reference te-thengun. br7-'- r A----
At the request of the government he
will not allow his name To be used in
connection with the gun, but more than
year ago when he first went to Wash
ington to place the matter in the hands
of the ordnance department he repre-
sented Charles G. Armstrong of the
Singer building, New York. who wished
to present the gun to the government.
While the gun that is being used to
lombard Paris is of similar eonstruc-
ton, it is not nearly as deadly as the
one that IS now being considered by
the government. Officials at first said
they did not think the gun could be
come up for consideration. 1t is said
that the gun could be used either on
board ship or land and that great de
struction sould be done with it from
so to los miles by firing proieetiles
loaded with dynamite. The proiectiles
can be used in any gun from u to "A
inches, or even larger Around the
cartridges are placed rings of soft met
al, which fit tightly in the bore of the
gun.

ways, are on the Pacific, while IS yards,
with a ways, are on the great lakes.
"Our program for building wooden
ships has been beset with many diff
culties and handicaps which could not
well be foreseen. A year ago, wooden
in the United States was
almost lost art. We found "a old
wooden shipyards with 70 shipways.
The capacity for wooden shipbuilding
has been increased until we now have
81 wooden shipbuilding yards with 1872
ways completed or nearing completion.
Assuming that these ways will each
produce two standard ships per year,
we should turn out about 1900, 900 dead
weight tons of wooden shipping annu-
ally. These 1872 wooden shipbuilding
ways, now nearing completion, added
TO our 1913 steel building ways, will
give us a total of $50 berths upon
which to build steel and wooden vessels.
When you consider that we had only
Ice steel building ways few months
ago and 10 wooden shipbuilding ways
"a total of 235-an increase is shown
| of 495 wooden and steel berths on
which we can build ships.
with our total of 730 wood and
steel ways, we will have 521 more berths

speech stated England has at the pres
ent time.

NEW YORK, March 27-Daniel 3.

S t. said last night that he had completed
the model of an aerial torpedo which he

would make desert of all the landscape
and annihiate all life between the Bat
terry and Forty-second street
The torpedo is itself the fuselage Of
an airplane, which rests on an automo-
bile chassis The automobile is started
and when it is going at forty miles an
hour the air pressure under the wings
of the torpedo will life it off and send it
into the air. The engine starts at the
moment. In the torpedo are two cham
bers, one containing ether and sal am
moniac and the other ammonia, These are
mixed in it's transit through the air and
form very powerful explosive; which as
it is not compounded until the torpedo is
off the ground will make its handling alb
solutely safe
The machinery of the torpedo can he
set to bring it down at any given point
and when it crashes to the ground The
shock will explode it and demohsh al

Paris, Aug l2-Nearly 40 600 prisoners and 700
guns have been taken by the allies in Picardy, ac-
cording to reliable information here.
Mighty efforts being made by the German
hig command to check the allies advance through
Picardy toward Peronne, Roye and Noyon. On the
northern end of the battle line the British have not
been able to progress rapidly during the past night
although London reports unofically that the vii
lage of Bray has been entered
In the center strong German counter attacks seem
to have held up the advance. There is unconfirm-
ed report however, that Roye has been abandoned
by the enemy
On the right the French are still gaining ground
steadily They have reached the crest Of the hills
west of the Ose and have virtually cleared the Matz
valley Of the enemy.
Interest in the Picardy battle now centers upon
the German efforts to stabilize the front along the
line from Albert south to Chaulnes and to check
the French efforts to envelop the enemy's position
at Lassigny
The coming day or two probably will be marked
by savage fighting especially on the south, where
the continued progress of the French would weaken
the whole German position, if it does not turn the
flank of the Noyon-N Neses line, which may be the
first defensive front upon which the enemy may
select to stand
