How Naval Guns
Pounded Huns

NEW YORK, Dec. 31-The story
of the success of Americas land bat
terry Of 14-inch naval guns, as told
by members of the gun crews them
selves, was given to the public here
when copies Of "The Big u" news.
paper printed on board the battle
ship Utah, were circulated on shore.
It was the Utah's picked gun crew,
the newspaper said, that was sent
ashore to "get" the German super
gun which. was shelling Paris. The
gun was removed, it was said, before
the batteries could get into action,
but the navy men had the satisfaction
of smashing away at the German line
for several months before the armis-
tice was signed.
The shells fired by the naval guns,
according to "The Big u" were al
most twice the size of those fired by
the German super-gun and were so
powerful that on one occasion on
exploding shell hurled two loaded
freight cars from track to the top
of railway station.
Another shell landed in hut
where 100 Germans were watching a
motion picture show and when the
American troops later reached the
spot, forty Identification tags were
all that could be found to tell the fate
of the party.
The naval guns habituallv fred at
a range of from twenty to twenty
one miles, the article said, and more
than 500 rounds had been fired when
the arnistice was signed.
Describing the activities of the bat
terry, the article said:
From the forest Of Compeigne we
fired on Ham, from Fronterry and
Scissors, on Laon and its railway
connections; from Jussy III kilos)
east Of Ham on Monitors (north Of
Laonl; from Charny and other points
north of yerdun we destroyed the
Metz-Sedan railway line at Mont
medy and other places, and finally
guns numbers / and 2 were prepar-
ing emplacements in forests near
Nancy and Luneville when the armis-
tice was declared.
"a number Of holes made by our
projectiles have since been visited.
One was twenty feet in diameter and
fifteen feet deep, another thirty-three
feet in diameter and twelve feet in
depth, and so on, depending on the
character Of the ground.
''Tn the entire battery of 500 men
only three were lost. Two succumbed
to disease and the other died Of

Reed Finds Flaws
In Nations League

NEW YORK, Dee. 30.-The theory
of d league of nations is no new dis
covery, but is thousands of years old,
having appeared in various forms and
failed Of its purpose in successive
ages, declared Senator Jas. A. Reed,
Of Missouri, in an address at din
nersof the Society Of Arts and Sci
ences here.
He predicted the plan would not
"stand the acid test Of reason and
experience"
''it is referred to as "a parliament
of man and confederation of the
world" he continued, (which, as I
understand it, is sort of interna-
tional mutual admiration society with
the Sermon on the Mount for con-
situation and the Apostolic Greed for
a guide. In that seraphic congrega-
tion all men are to be good and al
women fair, all thoughts holy, all
songs inspired and gentle love with
golden scepter is to rule the human
heart. The chief trouble with the
vision is that it can only be realized
in heaven"
Senator Reed attacked the pro-
posed league as surrender of the
rights for which the American revo-
lutionists fought and a violation Of
the warning of "the fathers of the
republic" Creation of the League,
he asserted, would mean the transfer
of European governments Of the pow
ers of the Congress Of the United
States to declare war, maintain its
armies and navy, suppress revolutions
and repel invasions.
The interest of the United States
the Missouri senator declared, never
could be the same as those Of the
European governments, and the ma
jority of the members of any league
or international court would be
named by those powers. Every Eu-
ropean monarch, he said, was related
by blood or marriage to every other
European monarch and, therefore,
Questions which are vital to us must
be submitted to a prejudiced ftri-
bunal"
"Shall we substitute for our an
cient and successful policy one which
makes us party to every European
quarrel, involves us in every world
war, cempels us to eonscript our
young men to do service upon every
sea and in every land at the dicta-
ton of the members Of league of
nations, whether composed of boil
sheviki, kings, presidents or soviets, =
he asked.
A feature that stands in the way
|of a league of nations, he said, was
how representation would be allot-
ted.
"Shall representation be in accord
ance with the populations Of the ma
tions?" he asked. "Then India, China
and Russia could outvote all Of Eu.
rope and the United States"
