The fourteon-lnch American naval
guns built nt r.ddjstone. and u ed on
the western front during the closing dajs
of tho wai, proved superior to any
weapons of the Allied armies, the House
Naval Committee, at Washington, was
told todiy by Hear Admiral C p.
Plunket, who had charge of the opera
tion of the big rifles.
FIvl- of the guns were In use when
the nrmlstlco was signed. Two were
sent up to silence tho long rango gun
which fired lno Paris from tho Com
plegne forest nnd tho others wero
mounted north of erdun.
"These guns proved most successful,"
Admiral Plunket said. "While they were
being used the enemy found It impossible
lo transport supplies or move troops. The
guns nau a range or initio varus ana
Bolud bo fired from any desired point.
"Just aH soon as we would begin fil
ing, the inemy hid to get Into holes.
All their tratllo schedules were broken
As we fired ivt Irregular Intervals from
morning till night, tho Germans often
wished, I Imagine, that tho wrath of
I'ncle Sam had not been provoked be
)ond tho breaking point."
