BRITAIN s Guns
EXCEL AMERICAN
At LONG RANCE
Fighting Efficiency Of Eng
Iish and u. S. BattIeShipS
Is Called to Attention of
Naval Committee

Washington, Dec. 90 (by the
Associated Press) Relative fight
ing efficiency of British and Amer
lean battleships, particularly at
long range, were understood today
to have been called sharply to the
attention Of tho senate naval COM
fnittee In consideration of the
pending naval appropriation bill.
Naval officials are known to be
greatly concerned on the point, as
the British have virtually com
pleted postwar modernization of
their 15-inch gun ships and no
start on similar work has yet been
made in the American navy.
The effect of the British post
war improvements, 1t was said to-
day in naval circles, was to give
the entire main British fleet a
range OF 10000 yards against a
maximum OF about 10000 yards
for all American battleships but
the Tennessee, California, Mary
land, Colorado and West Virginia.
in addition, as permitted under
the Washington treaty, the British
ships have been equipped with
blister anti-torpedo construction
and their decks armored against
airplaue bombs and high angle
fire.
A rough estimate of the cost of
undermining American ships in the
same way, so far as increasing gun
elevations and strengthening decks
is concerned, is approximately $780,
600, 900. In the British program as
much as $4,000,000 is said to have
been expended on a single ship.
Change from coal to oil fuel is
II vital Importance in widening the
effective radius of action of the
ships, it was explained by naval
officials, while substitution OF
five-inch anti-aircraft batteries
means using shells with 5O-yard
"burst" instead of the 25-yard area
covered by three-inch proJecttles'
In other words, it was said cur
tain of fire" against aircraft with
ffVe-inch guns would need one-halt
the number of guns in action to
make II effective.
The most striking point to which
attention is being directed, how
ever, is that of long range big gun
fire. Opposed to the modernized
British fleet today, navy Officers
have stated, the bulk of the Amer
lean fleet would face the necessity
of closing in five miles under salvo
fire before they could bring their
own guns TO hear As the British
ships also are slightly faster, it
is said, the possibility of bringing
the entire fleet into action would
be negligible.

AMBASSADOR To
j. s. FROM ITALY
IS OPT IMIST|C
Prince GeIaSiO Caetani Ar
riveS on the Steamship
Colombo to Take Up His
Duties at Washington

New York, Dee. 2O.-Prince Ge-
lasio Caetani, recently appointed
Italian ambassador to the United
states, arrived on the Colombo to-
day to take up his duties in Wash
ington, optimistic that Premier
Mussolini by business admins
tration would be successful in
STRENGTHENING out a business which
now threatens to go TO ruin"
Prince Caetini, who has ION
practiced his profession of engi-
neering in this country, in for
nal statement, which he issued on
his arrival, referred to America as
"my second home"
The new ambassador traced the
progress OF the fascist movement
in Italy and added:
"Mussolini is a remarkable man
who has shown only part of what
he is capable of doing and not for
the good of Italy alone, but for the
good of Europe as WELL"
Prince Caetani said that the feel
ing which has swept over Italy and
which had made the fascist move
ment so successful was not an In
fatuation Of the moment, but was
deep-rooted and would have a
lasting effect.
He urged better mutual un-
derstanding of the aims of Italy
in America as an aid to straight
ening out the problems confront
ing Europe as whole today. He
also touched on the question of
Italian immigration to this coun-
try.
II would like the Italian rural
immigrants to move out west,
where there is land to be TILED,
and not encrust themselves in the
unnatural surroundings that are
present in the great congested
eastern cities"

TROOPS OUT To

Of SLAIN MEN?
Movement o Louisiana
Guardsmen Continues to
Remain a Mystery to All
Except a Few Officials

Monroe. La, Dec. 20.--The pur-
pose of the movement of a COM
pany of Louisiana national guard
troops into Moorehouse parish by
Governor John NJ. Parker yester-
day afternoon. tonight continued
to remain l1ystery to all eXcepT
a handful of officials.
The passing of the day failed
to lift the mystery screen. Those
in a position to speak would say
nothing. The governor, attorney
general and others remained IN
rigid silence.
Late today a detachment of 25
men under the command of the
company officer, hastily departed
from the camp, established in the
heart of the little town OF Mer
Rouge. The men said they did
not know where they We're going.
The officer would not speak.
Close observers offered the opin-
ion the men were en- route to one
of the lakes in the vicinity of Mer
Rouge, where, it 1t is believed, the
bodies of two men, weighted down
with wagon wheels, victims of
hooded men, are resting.
Four detectives, working with
the department OF justice, are said
to have spotted the location in the
lake where the bodies can be
found. The detectives are said
to have preceded the movement of
the detachment this afternoon.
In the event the bodies are re-
covered, hearings by Governor
Parker and other state officials
probably will be instituted in con-
nection with the kidnapping two
weeks ago of five prominent Mer
Rouge citizens by O band of so or
more hooded men. Effort will be
made at the hearings, if held, 1t
was said, to obtain evidence upon
which to convict members OF the
band. Two of the five kidnapped
men have not returned.

Two silent boosts were offered.

instructions for the case to be pro-
ceeded with by the government
and had personally followed every

fering and grave hardships were
