a strong instinct in the breast Of a
certain elderly English lady. who was
much troubled at the failure OF three

such stalwart. sturdy fellows that she

patience became exhausted. One day

GIANT GERMAN GUNS
Once IS Inch CaIibre Reduced to 91-2
lnchek

The giant German guns now drop
ping shells on Paris from a distance Of
seventy-five miles, are 15-inch naval
guns, taken from the Battleship Hin
denburg and fitted with inner tubes,
which reduce the caliber to 9 1-2 in
ches, 1t was learned from ordance ex-
perts Of the United States army, who
have been making a close study Of the
guns and their effects.
The officials confidently believe that
very soon the Germans will be using
guns along the Western front that will
have range Of 100 miles or more.
The guns were dismounted from the
battleship during the winter and re-
turned to naval gun foundry, where
they were expanded by heat and the
inner tubes inserted. AS the gun cools
it shrinks and grips the inner tube and
holds 1t in place, notwithstanding the
tremendous pressure of the powder
charge.
The shell fired from this gun weighs
about 200 pounds. Although 1t has a
diameter OF only 1-2 inches 1t is pro-
jected with all the force Of 15-inch
charge.
This is accomplished by leaving the
powder chamber intact fifteen inches
in diameter. The powder used is the
usual smokeless kind used In naval
warfare.
With this supercharge Of powder
operating on the smaller shell, the
muzzle velocity of 5000 feet per sec
ond is attained. The greatest velocity
obtained in n six-inch naval gun is
200 feet, and in a fourteen-inch gun
on an American battleship the velocity
Is $500 feet second.
Additional muzzle velocity for the
German gun is obtained by extending
the inner tube OF the fifteen inch outer
jacket.
The guns bombarding Paris are fired
at an angle Of IS degrees. The shells
rise 20 a height Of between twenty five
and thirty miles, or between 10000
and $4,000 feet, a stupendous flight,
vastly exceeding any excursion here
tofore made by mundane material into
the aerial regions.
The time consumed from muzzle to
target Is between one and one-half and
two minutes. travelling, say, twenty
miles high and seventy-flve miles by
straight line.
They believe also that the Germans
are building eighteen-inch or twenty
inch guns with inner TUBES reducing
the -ealsber-ta e aine and ana Sf Wins
ches. These guns would have q range
of 100 miles, or even more. The Ger
mans have boasted for many months
that they would lombard British
shores from across the channel ad
the feat Is now seen to be both pos
sible and probable. 1t remains a feat,
however, and nothing more. 1t is not
a menace in a military sense.
The Germans hope to invade Eng
land with the help of big guns posted
on shore and on heavy barges fioated
down from the Belgian coast. Their
idea Is to gain a foothold at some con-
venient point like Calais or Dunkirk
and then by running out lines OF
barges carrying 14-inch howitzers to
stand of the British fleet. Thus q
lane would be opened for the passage
of German troops. British naval OF
ficers smile at this plan, and express
a wish that it be attempted. They
suggest that their swiftly-moving
battle cruisers with 15-inch guns would
soon dispose of the German line OF
barges and any German troop ships
that might appear.

On the eve of the Jewish New Year
which will begin at shutdown Friday. the
following message from President Will
son was made public last night by Rabbi
stephen 5. Wise. formerly president of
the Provisional Zionist Committee:
Il have watched with deep and sin
cere interest the reconstructive work
which the Wezmann Commission has
done In Palestine at the instance OF the
British Government. and | welcome an
opportunity to express the satisfaction
l have felt in the progress Of the Zionist
movement In the United States and in
the allied countries since the declara-
ton by Mr., Balfour on behalf of the
British Government of Great Britain's
approval OF the establishment I'm Pales-
tine of national home for the Jewish
people and his promise that the British
Government would use its best endeavors
to facilitate the achievement of that OBJ
ject, with the understanding that moth
Ing would be done 10 prejudice the civil
and religious rights of non-Jewish pco-
pie In Palestine or the rights and po-
litical status enjoyed by the Jews in
other countries.
Il think that all Americans will be
deeply moved by the report that even
in this time OF stress the Weizmann
Commission has been able to lay the
