Army Officers Declare 16-Inch Gun It
Biggest Weapon cf Offense and
Defence in Existence in
the World.
I By EDWARD B. CLARK.
I (Staff CorKaponaent of ihf \Vei;ttrn .N. w«- paper Union, i
Washington.—It is probable that the
I 16-inch gun "made in America" and
j intended to bear its part if necessary
I in the defence of the Panama canal,
already is properly emplaced on its
carriage in a fortiflcation on one' of
the islands guarding the Pacitic ap-
1 proach to the great waterway.
« This gun, the manufacturing and
j testing cf w hich were superviHud by
j Col. E. B. iiabbitt of the ordnance
I corps of the United States army, is
j probably the biggest weapon of olTenre
and defense in existence in the world
today. Stories are told of bigger guns,
said to be in proce-s of luanutacture
on thf other side of the water, but
army inen in ^^'ashington are inclined
to doubt the truth of the reports. The
16-inth gun probably represer.ts the
largest type of military weapon which
can be safe and effective at the same
tima^ at least such seems to be tue
opiuion cf the experts.
There are other big guns on all the outlying fortifications of Panama. Col. George W. Goethals has just told a coniinittee ot congress that the great waterway is today in a condition of defense Etroiig enough to protect it from the assaults of war vessels, the

It i.s a;:,"orud by some Washington ofilcials thnt fV.e fortifications iu the continental Tinitrd States are not properly ninniied and that there is not a sufficient (juantity of ammunition for tho big guns. The question naturi'lly concerns it.ielf here wit!i, a seeking afti r r(.:.so:.s why f-vcrylhmg is ready for a perfect defense of the Panama canal whil^ the defenses of our great cities are said to be far below the plane of efficiency.
Congress always has been gen;.'rous to the Panama caii::l. The peoiile of the United States have shown Irom time to tin.e (hat they are sentimen¬ tally Inclined toward the great water¬ way. The consistent favorable action of coJigress in m.-itters relating to the canal work is viewed in Washington as proving that senators and represen¬ tatives recognise the value and .strength of sentiment.
There has been no charge of graft in connection v. itli I'anania canal con¬ struction or with Ihe work of builil''!g its (l^ense. The only sutpii ion of anything improjxir in connection with the isthmiiin ))roje(t was the charge made that a civilian purchaser of supplies accepted some presents from contractors.
Cengre.ss has voted money for the eanal anrl its defenses from year to year and has voted willingly and with¬ out delay. The members of congress took the word of the w:ir d"partm?nt ef (he need of defenses for the cinial zone and the defenses were supplied ;!iid it is said today ihat they ure per¬ haps- the only eoaat defenses wlwct v,o have which aro or soon v.ill be in perfect fl^hfinG: condition.
Army oflieers are making a point ef this canal defense matter and of the willingness with wliich congre^-s nab voted si"^'iilieR,^ ask that ihe same kind of treatment bo accorded ether ALLADIN'S LA.MP! A fairy tale i ^'efensos of the country. It is po.s- .10 longer. It is hero—il is yours at' s*ble, perhaps probable, that as a re- command, .liiuu you don't have to rub
