THE GUNS THAT
WE BUILD
A2.400 POUND PROJECTILE CAN
BE SENT A DISTANCE OF
TWENTY ONE MILES
To get an idea of what kind of
guns Germany is using in the pres
ent war, it is sufficient to note
the kind the United States govern
ment is now building.
One of six guns authorized for
the protection of the United States
ports, has just been completed.
This gun from a distance of 21
miles can shoot a 2,400 pound pro
jectile that will shatter the tallest
building in the world, which is 55
stories and 750 feet high. Such a
gun, a 16-inch rifle, is the biggest
in the United States and at a dis
tance of three miles it will strike
with an energy of 90,000 foot-tons,
enough to demolish the largest
battleship.
The length of this 16-inch breech
loading rifle is 9 inches short of
fifty feet. It weighs 130 tons and
its carriage weighs 450 tons. The
2,400 pound projectile discharged
by that monster is nearly as tall
as an average man, being 5 feet
4 inches.
With the exception of four 14
inch guns now being mounted on
the Pacific coast, the largest of the
guns protecting the approaches to
cities and harbors of the United
States are of the 12-inch type.
Great rifles of the kind described
would form a mighty defense a
gainst attack from the sea, if a
sufficient number were mounted at
strategic points, but even the larg
est coast guns must have the sup
port of a navy and, on land, a
mobile army. There is a vast
stretch of coast line that there are
many gaps where an enemy might
make a landing, unless prevented
by navy or army, and at some
places, by capturing a fort, the
enemy would be able to turn Its
guns against other fortifications.
Many of the existing defenses of
the United States need to be mod
ernized; the guns they carry are
outranged by modem naval guns.
The coast defense system is ser
iously undermanned at present, be
ing short 564 officers and 10,988 j
men, according to official reports.
Germany has giant naval guns,
now being used on land, which
shoot 23 miles. In traveling that
distance, the projectile goes up in
the air nine miles, and it is pos
sible to drop it within 200 feet of
the point at which the gun is aim
ed.

LONDON MUCH
MORE HOPEFUL
CONFIRMATION OF LANDING
OF ITALIAN TROOPS HAS
RELIEVED ANXIETY
LONDON, Dec. 22—There is a
rr.or: hopeful feeling in London
v i*’ .egard to the Balkan oper
ations now that it Is definitely an
nounced that the Italians have ef
fected a landing on the Albanian
coast, and that the Anglo-French
force, which has fallen back to
ward Saloniki, has been strongly
reinforced with men, and guns in
cluding some heavy naval weapons.
It is not stated how large a force
theltalians will send to the assis
tance of the Serbians and Monte
negrins, but from the fact that
the official account intimates that
landings have been made at more
than one port, it is taken for grant
ed that an army of considerable
proportions is to be sent across
the Adriatic. This, with the Mon
tenegrins and Serbians who escap
ed from Albania, will bea serious
threat to the central powers’ right
flank, while they can never look on
in idleness to the concentration of
an army at Saloniki, which, at a
chosen moment, would undertake
an offensive, and to the gathering
of a Russian force in Bessarbia.
It is anticipated therefore, that
the Germans will strike at Saloniki
before the Anglo-French forces
grow too strong, and it is believed,
with that end in view, they are
now negotiating with the Greek
government.
If their plans include the par
ticipation of Bulgarians in the at
tack, they are likely to meet with
opposition from Greece, as Greece
is strongly adverse to any Bul
garians crossing her frontier.
This applies also, to some extent
to the Austrians, whose ambitions
always have been for a port on the
Aegean, preferably Saloniki.
On the whole, therefore, it Is
thought that the Greeks might pre
fer to see the entente allies remain
there until the end of the war. In
fact, Lord Robert Cecil, under
secretary of foreign affairs, said
in the house of commons today that
the Anglo-French plan was to keep
the central powers from that city,
in accordance with the wishes of
Greece.
GERMANY'S THREAT
TO BE REALIZED
CONSTRUCTION OF RAILROADS
WAS TO FACILLITATE THE
INVASION OF EGYPT
According to late reports, the
Turko-German threat against
Egypt will be carried into prac
tice. Recent announcement that a
railway line was being constructed
from Damascus to the Egyptian
frontier has been verified. At the
same time of the announcement, it
was said to be completed towithin
fifteen miles of Sinai. This railway
with its double tracks is consid
ered by military' men to permit a
concentration of 500,000 men in one
month together with the necessary
supplies at the Egyptian frontier.
About 300,000 Ottoman troops,
commanded and drilled by German
officers, already have been con
centrated between Alexandretta,
Aleppo and Homs, it is stated.
Turko-German emissaries are
said to be urging the Senussi to
attack Egypt from the west, while i
an attempt also is being made to1
induce the Abyssinains to march,
into Sudan. German officers are I
reported to be acting as propagan- j
dists, organizers and military' in-1
structors.
The Rome newspapers aks if,
after the lesson of the Balkans, the
imente powers are going to allow
themselves to be surprised in
Egypt.
