"Texas" and "New York"
Each Have Ten of the
Big Guns.
BY VICTOR BLLIOTT.
WASHINGTON". D. C March S.
ShorUy after the heir to the
Anstro-Hungarian crown was
assassinated, the BriUsn battle fleet
was assembled off Portland for a spec
tacular review. This pageant over, tbe
ships did not disperse by units and di
visions as might have been expected. It
was ready to be flung fuli force upon
the Germans when the war broke.
There is a curious parallel between
Winston Churchill's management of the
fleet last summer and the program now
laid out for the American fleet. It is
unsafe to draw too man;- conclusions
1 from this parelleL But the fact that
Except for Great Britain's new "Queen Elizabeth ' la3 superdreadnoughts,
tbe only guns as large as 14 inch on any vessel are tlm-e borne by the American
ships "Texas" and "New York."' Each carries ten such rifles. Their projectiles
weigh 1100 pounds each.
These ships fight at eight miles range. Their guns carry effectively that
distance.
Above, 35 men are landing or a 14-iaeh monster. Below, on the left, the
Texas" is seat from the Brooklyn Bridge, few York city, Jst as she passes
under. To the right is the "New York.'' It is difficult to tell the two ships
apart.
Notice that all the main battery (the 14-iaeh guns) is carried "on the waist
line," so that every big gun can be leveled at tbe sane target simultaneously.

is really a blend of two baking powders, one of which,
starts to raise as soon as moisture is added. The
other is inactive until heat is applied. This sustains
the raise until your muffins, biscuits or cake is done.

A SALES MANAGER.
THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH CO.
our battle fleet now drilling off Ghan
tanamo is to stay together well into tbe
summer is interesting and perhaps a
trifle reassuring.
The Guantanamo maneuver; and
target practice have brought together
the strongest fleet ever seen under the
Stars and Stripes. The experience the
officers and men are getting there is
quickly wearing away the rust which
the Mexican troubles and other causes
had let collect.
To Return Xorth In May.
After the Guantanamo workins: out
the fleet wui return nortn tor con
tinued practice. These further exer
cises will take place with Narragansett
bay as the base. The fleet leaves Cuba
in Mar.
From Narragansett bay tbe fleet will
assemble In New York. Here a most
extensive war game may be played. The
plans are not fully matured but it is
proposed that the fleet d'vide. one part
attacking the great metropolis and the
other taking up the defence.
Then the fleet sails for Hampton
Hoads. where a review ordered by con
gress will be held in June. The fleet
will probably proceed to the Panama
canal for the celebration. Thence it
may go to San Francisco.
Not alone in fleet concentration -will
the next few months be notable. The
repairing of rents in the navy and the
creating of new fighting machines is
going ahead as never before. The Enr
ropean war has thrown he limelight on
the navy and also, as Robert Lansing,
counsellor of the state department, said
in a speech at New York recently, this
ie a time for serious thought, a time
for anxiety."
Is Being Reorganized.
The general board, consisting of ad
miral George Dewey, and rear admirals
C J. Badger. Bradley A. Fiske and Al
fred Reynolds, isr- bent upon a complete
reorganization of the fleet.
It is expected the superdreadnoughts
"Oklahoma" and "Nevada" will be
added to the fleet this month. This will
make the first line consist of eight
dreadnoughts and four superdread
noughts. The divisions of the battle
fleet will be rearranged so as to dis
tribute tbe power to the best advan
tage.
The fleet now consists of four battle
ship divisions, a cruiser squadron, de
stroyer and submarine flotillas, colliers,
supply and hospital ships, mine layers
and small auxiliaries. Of the four bat
tleship divisions, the first two are com
posed of first line ships, or dread
noughts (the sailor does not use the
term "dreadnoughts"). Indeed the sec
ond division has one second line ship,
the "Kansas." But the addition of the
"Oklahoma" and "Nevada" will make
three divisions of four dreadnoughts
each possible and of these craft four
will carry the new 14 Inch rifle.
The' New 14 Inch Guns.
Until Great Britain nut the "One
Elizabeth" into commission a few days
ago. tbe United States navy was the
only one in the world to have afloat
guns as large as 14 inches diameter.
The "Queen Elizabeth" has eigbt 15
inch guns. The superiority or these to
14 inch rifles is not certain. They may
glve greater smashing power to their
projectiles, but probably do not in
crease the range. Drawbacks may de
velop. Our 14 inch gun does not have a
greater effective range than the earlier
12 inch gun. The latter is regarded as
one of the most efficient types possible
to produce. Its length is IS time its
diameter, which gives great accuracy in
sighting. In the 14 inch guns it was
found necessar) to reduce the length to
45 times the diameter, or "43 calibers."
13 Inch More Accurate.
Perhaps the 1 inch gun is the more
accurate, but the 14 inch nroi.tn
weighs lias pounds, against 870 pounds
ir uk smaller weapon, uotn are enor
mously effective at eight miles range.
Critics thtnk this is the distance at
which the great naval battle between
dreadnoughts an engagement the like
of which the world has neer seen, will
be fought.
In tararet nractice nf the Virginia
Capes recently, gunpolnter William Ruf.
oi me lexas scored eight straight
hits with a 14 inch gun on a moving
target 12 miles away. This sounds en
couraging. Five Still Larger.
In addition to the "Oklahoma" and
"Nevada" the navy officials are now
hurrying work on five larger vessels,
the "Pennsylvania." "Arizona." Cali
fornia." 'Idaho" and "Mississippi." each
of which will have- 32.M tons displace
ment and carry 12 14 inch guns. They
will not be ready in ISIS.

American people what their fleet can

The plan contemplates a massed attack
