t ~ ii' GUNSTDr NEW MONSTERS ARE SHIPPED TO PACIFIC HARBORS MANILA A PORT ARTHUR r TbrM Mora Foart«eH-Inch Onaa are — oa Way to ^hllllpiiMa, Making , ttitfht Now Thor©—Honolulu G©U Two and Pacific End at Canal G«ti Bemalnder. In the last two years there hay* been completed in the United States twelve fourteen-inch coast deferise guns of the most modern and power ful type, each with a range of more than twenty-two thousand yards and each firing a projectile weighing ap proximately fifteen hundred pounds. Of these twelve guns none has been mounted or will be mounted In any of the coast fortifications of the United States proper. Nine of them have already been placed In the for tifications guarding Manila, Hono lulu, and the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. The last three of the twelve are to go to the fortifications of Manila. They are already in transit or ready to ship. Of th© twelve guns five have niready been mounted at Manila and two each at Honolulu and on the Pacific end of th© Canal. Th© addi tion of the three guns now ordered to Manila will give those fortifica tions eight guns of the fourteen-inch calibre in additional to several com plete batteries of twelve-inch guns and twelve-inch howitzers, making that *>ort, defensively speaking, a second Port Arthur in the Kay-Fast. The fact that Hi© goveaauieat has seen fit to leave no stone unturned to prepare adequately Its two great ml<t-Paclflc ports and the Pacific en trance to the Panama Canal for any attark on the part of any foreign nation, occasioned as fbi " car of the army to call attei the fact, that up to tko pi 'm»\ nothing whatever has b« to protect similarly, with ost powerful of ordnanre. the irts on the American Pacific ind Atlantic seaboards In all thee© forts, ss ted out. there Is not a sin howltsAr mounted on etth teen Inch of sixteen Inch Sixteen Inch coast defsm been perfected, sad oos now ready to rscetvs Its Hits great gua will go tugeWJxer with another • type It le al«o rumored six term-Uarh gtuxa will I to Honolulu Ot tbs fourteen tarh g pod or ready to bn shlppsd me end tbs mld-Partfte ms. tbrws were completed sat I la 1*14. two of tHem to Msi the third to lloaolsls; two • psd to Manila In Mxreh. 19 her to Honolulu ta June. 19 her to Panama In tictober « me year, one wa« shipped t< la February of this year, i her to Panama la January o >ar Each of thee© guns welg! un- 4red and thirty-two tboui r . nds and cost about eighty thousand dol lar* each.

In the opinion of tbs war college, to half man those forts. For Instance, there are needed to half man the fprts guarding New York fortXctwo companies of coast artillery troops/ At the present moment these forts are manned by nineteen companies. • making a shortage’ of twenty-three companies, and when the Eighty-gevei.th Company leaves Fort Totten next Saturday, the . shortage will be twenty-four com panies. Fiffei^n companies are needed to half man the fortifications' about Portland, and when the Eighth Com pany leaves Fort Williams on Friday to come to New York, the shortage there will be eight companies, Bos ton needs seventeen companies, and the transfer of the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Company leaves seven companies there. VILLA'S am Rl IS IP TO SCOilTS WHO KNOW COUNTRY Probability is That Additional Troops • Mill he Needed oa Areounrof A t v Long Line Into Mexico. * ' Unofficial Information received at Fort Sam Houston tends to confirm reports thgt Francisco Villa has escaped from the region In which the cavalry forces of the American puni tive expedition are cperatlng. Offi cial advices failed to either verify or deny the reports.— The expeditionary commander told of difficulties experienced as a re sult of the scarcity of reliable guides and misinformation given the Intelli gence officers in villages through which Villa and his followers had passed. Whlch-way Villa has gone Is large ly a question for Gen. Pershing’s scouts to answer. It was pointed out at Gen. Funston’s headquarters that once the trail was picked up the troops would resume the chase fur ther Into the Interior, although It was realized that this second phase of the punitive expedition’s work was far more difficult than the first. It is not improbable. It was said, that more troops than those already In Mexico will be required. The topography of the country south of Guerrero Is such that successful pur suit can be conducted only by a wide deploying of forces and the utiliza tion of a large force of the Infantry. It was pointed out that ths further the troops penetrated Into Mexico, the greater will be the necessity for strengthening the lines of communi cation.

Following up sharply their cap ture of the village of Haucourt, in the Avoeou.t-Bethincourt salient northwest of Verdun,, the Germans have shifted the line of their attack slightly to the east, driving against the lines between Bethincourt nnd Chattancourt and penetrating a first line trench there. The locality is In the vicinity of Dead MaVs Hill, whre Germans and French hiwe been battling at inter vals for weeks for control of domi nating positions. Paris declares that the Germans were driven by a coun ter attack from the greeter part f the captured position and that they aow occupy only acme advanced sec tions along a front of about thma bum'.rd yards. German* Capture Positions Between Haucourt ami |lcthincourt. Having straightened out their line by occupying nil French positions north of tlic Forge* brook between Haucourt and Bcthincourt, northwest of Verdun, the Germans now are engaged in shelling the region of the Bourrus wood, some five miles north west of the fort-ess, recording to t’ Berlin official report. The statement follnwn: "On the left hank of tho Meuco all the enemy’s positions north of the brook of Forges, between Haucourt a-d Bcthincourt, are in our hapds. - "Southwest nnd south of Fort Douaumont our troops engaged in battle with troops holding .the French trenches and points of sup port."
