USING AMERICAN GUNS.
Heavy Ordnance Now in Use on the
Western Front.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 26 American
built ordnance of the latest type and
heaviest calibre -l0-inch, 2-inch and IA
inch rifles are in service on the sector OF
the western front held by the American
army and on the Italian front, it was
learned yesterday at the war depart
ment. The general belief has been that
very few American heavy guns were in
Europe.
The guns sent to Italy include a mum
Der of l4-inch rifles, both of rs and 50
calbre. The former was considered the
most powerful naval weapon in exist
ence until the commissioning of the Brit
ish battleships of the Queen Elizabeth
class with l5-inch guns. American ex-
perts still believe that the IA inch fifty
calibre rifle is harder hitting and more
accurate even than the larger British
weapon.
