SMALL GUi WON JAPAN'S NAVAL VICTORY branch Admiral Says Hugo Artillery Was Not Effective--Dreadnoughts a Mistake--Light Calibre Guns With Deadly Explosives Won Togo's Succce3 on Fleet Ships of tho Lino. Paris, France.? Admiral (icrminef, the newly appointed commander M 111.) Mediterranean squadron, totally disagrees with the naval experts of F.ti;'lnnd, America and other countries who advocate the heaviest battleships and i lie heaviest guns as most serviceable in future naval warfare. lie ar gue 3 for not larger ships and bigger guns, but smaller, fleeter vessels capa ble of great mobility and armed with gunsf of smaller calibre capable of luoro rapid lire. This, ho contends, la the real lesson of tho Russo-Japanese war. Tho English admiralty, he says, l/uilt the Dreadnought on a misap prehension of the reasons of tl\:? Japanese successes. "IJefore obtaining complete information," says tho Admiral, "tho Eng lish attributed the Russian disaster to Togo's tactics and the big guns with which his ships were armed. It was not. true. I have recently obtained the proof from official documents. I do not question Togo's ability. I say only that tho big artillery did not product? the effect expected. At the beginning tho Japanese used projectiles loaded with a comparatively small quantity i ! explosive. They soon reali'/.ed their mistake and commenced the manu 1 reture of shells capable of holding an enormous amount of explosive. All tbair ships carried that ammunition at the battle.of Tsushima. To that th -y owe their victory. The projectiles exploding on contact gave off a pro (. ions amount of heat, which melted the hardest steel and produced a vol i.!. ? of gases which asphyxiated all who breathed it. The gases penetrated too interior of the-Russian ships and suffocated men even in the hold. "in the roports from which 1 obtained this information a case is cited wh?rb the ammunition hoist suddenly ceased working. Upon examination it \\;is found intact, but. every man at the bottom of tho hoist was dead, without, a Visible wotted: in other words, asphyxiated. Upon tho same ship the electricity suddenly went out. The fires were found uninjured, but the (..vilmiio v,-rew was dead, suffocated to a man. (Projectiles exploding against iii,.< : hip'it armor outside'had introduced gasesi which put two big guns out ri cciion and plunged the ship in darkness, li. w.u' not that the Japanese : ,ag was marvelous. It wim gi r.l. Vint tiie eCiivncy of the projectiles, hi,- uy of vhich, by the way, exploded in 11 i?*;v lii.;ht, was the real secret of tiivi japan -so victory."
