Their immense range and destructive power will be able to keep any warship now afloat at a respectable distance.' There is no battleship in the world with guns of more than 16 -inch calibre. The guns, which are being shipped here by ordinary cargo steamer,were constructed experimentally during the World War. .One of the guns was mounted on the 19,000 -ton cruiser Furious, one of the warships designed by Lord Fisher for his projected. naval campaign in the Baltic Sea, Originally, the Furious was to carry two of these guns, mounted fore and aft, but an airplane deck was, con- structed in place of the forward tur- ret. When the ship was completed and the aft gun was fired a few times the concussion was found to have been so great that it had badly damaged the ship. The British Admiralty then de- cided to mount the guns on the moni- tors Load Clive, General Wolfe and. Prince Eugene for use in bombarding the German positions on the Belgian coast.

It then quoted from a family document showing the origin of the tradition. The document in question 1s a man- uscript left by the late Count von Nostitz to the heir apparent, after- ward Frederieh III, and deposited by the latter with the official Archivist and guardian at the phpere of the Royal House of Prussia. It bears the date of Oct. 15, 1806, the signatures ot several witnesses, and reads as. follows: • , "I, Count 'ft n Nostitz, being about to die, communicate to my only son, Henry, under the solemn pledge of most absolute secrecy, this document, which contains a truthful account of what befell me and my most August Prince, Ludwig von Hohenzollern of the Kingdom of Prussia, on the night of Oct. 9, 1806, on the eve of the ,dis- astrous and bloody battle of Saalfeidt. I was aide de camp to the Prince, and he, early in the evening, the night being cold and windy, repaired to the ,chateau of Prines von Schwarzburg- Rudolsladt, where we hath'proposed to spend the night. "'We were standing or seated about in the large dining hall, and the Prince was standing with his back to the fire, when suddenly the saw him turn deathly pale.

The Prince walked along by the wall sounding it with the hilt of his sword as he went, but he formd neither secret door nor keyhole, nor any aperture which might have offered means of escape for the supposed apparition. At that moment the Prince turned, in a calm voice, although his eyes snapped strangely and :Iris face was still pale: - "'Haat thou seen it also, Nostitz?' "'Yes, your Highness.' "I'It was''then neither a dream nor an hallucination,' he cried. "And the Prince walked forward and questioned the sentinel at the outer door. The latter declared that he had seen a person in a great white cloak,' a Saxon officer, he thought. "We returned to the dining hall where we had left the other officers of the staff, The Prince seemed to be„greatly overcome, but little by little tie regained his habitual calm. He told us that the appearance of the phantom foreboded no good, to him, because 'die Weisse Frau' never ap- peared except, to announce the violent death of a Flohenzoilern.
