A NEW GERMAN
NAVAL GUN
SIXTEEN-INCH PIECE JUST CRE-
ATED HAS RANGE OF ABOUT
TWENTY-EIGHT MILES
Berlin, Jan. 25—Remarkable fig-
mTes regarding a new German naval
gun are given by a German artillery'
expert, writing in the “Arfillerist-
iiche Mondts Hefte.” In discussing
an assertion by the London Times
that the German navy possesses a
gun which carries three miles farther
than the best British weapon, the
writer admits that Krupps are manu-
facturing a gun whose projectile
weighs 920 kilograms (about a ton)
and which develops muzzle velocity
•? 940 meters (about three thousand
seven hundred feet) a second.
The expert reckons from these fig-
ures that the gun has 58 per cent
more muzzle force than the British
Bevy's best weapon and has a range
•f about forty-two kilometers (about
twenty-eight miles) whi’o the channel
at Dover is only thirty-three kilome-
ters (about twenty-two miles wide.
Fa says the figures given, if cor-
rect, will permit the Germans eveut-
ua ly to command the English coast
from Calias for a distance of nine
kionreters (about sii miles) inlir-d

One of our great magazines recent-
ly offered a cash prize for thejsesi
answer to the above question. The
prize winning answer is herewith
printed:
“Measured by the present day stan-
dards, I know that I am not doing
much, but I am: conscious of the fact
that L am filling a niche that is
quite Important though not in a no-
ticeable way. .
In the first place, I always attend
church services, irrespective of wheth-
er I like the preacher; and I always
pay what I subscribe ap.d, ~when nec-
essary, more. Since I realized that
I have litt’e executive'ability, and am
therefore excluded from taking part
in the administration of affairs, I
watch myself constantly that I may
not criticize those who do the execu-
tive work. If I am a.-ke4 to serve
on a committee, I feel that I have
been asked -because of 'my special fit-
ness, and I do my best, without say-
ing that there are others who have
more time than I. The church has
s*- many capable leaders today and
so few who are willing to follow, that
the need has seemed very strong to
me for the class of people in which
Nature herself placed me. .
“I consider it my duty to attend not
only the preaching services, but Sun-
day school and prayer meeting as
well. I am not very capable of taking
part in these services, but I of times
<r-
do, not for the sole purpose of en-
lightening others, but to be an ex-
ample of Christian willingness.
*1 visit Hie sick without waiting to
be placed on. such a committee, and
irrespective of whether they belong
t j my church. While I never told
anybody else so, and do not boastingly
speak of it now, our . church has
gained some good strong working
members because of unselfishness of
such visits.,
“Just because some of our influen-
. ->£ . • '
tial members do many things that do
not meet with my approval, I do not
cense going to church, as a certain
element do. I never could see how
♦ / l
it benefited a church to have some of
the members quit going because some
of the others had committed an in-
discretion. • ■
“I have never given up church at-
tendance. because some, of the mem-
bers slighted me. I consider* that
though I may not be as useful as
some, the church belongs to me as
much as to any one else, and their
treatment can not bar me out of it.
“According to the strict way jn
v hich I was brought up, many of the
very progressive methods in use by
the modem church seem sadly out of
place to me; but when I see _ that
these things draw a certain element
out to worship, I make no open ob-
jection to them nor stand in the way.

“As I said in the beginning, I am
net doing much for my church—.just
trying hard to. fill that , little niche of
faithfulness to duty that so many di-s-

duties of service. What I am tiding
for my church amounts to uaugtit in
