YANKEES ARE USING
GIANT NAVAL GUNS
Hun 70-MiIe Rifle Is the Only
Bigger Weapon at
Front.

Announcement from France that
American 16-inch naval guns, manned
by naval gun crews, have come to the
front, disclosed that through efforts of
the ordnance officials of the navy, Cen
eral Pershing's forces are now
equipped with the most powerful and
hardest-hitting weapons yet used in
the present war, ashore or afloat, so
far as is known.
The 16-inch rifles are similar to
those designed for use aboard the new
est American dreadnaughts. They are
so caliber. more than 65 feet in length
and weigh approximately 100 tons
without their carriers.
Without question they are the long
est-range guns in use. except the Ger
man super-guns, which are regarded
merely as a mechanical freak.
The projectile weighs close to a ton
and its bursting charge Of the most
powerful explosive known is meas
ured in hundreds of pounds against
the few pounds in the German super
gun shell. The destructive effect Is
enormous.
Plans for using big rifles for the
army are understood to have been
worked out entirely by naval officers.
The theory that their great weight
would not permit their use, except in
fixed concrete and steel emplacements,
furnished the chief obstacles to be
overcome.
These are not the only great naval
guns employed by the American army.
American naval gun crews have played
an important part on several sectors
of the battle front for months, hand
ling weapons of Pinch bore.
The story of their enterprises has
never been made public, however, for
military reasons.
