For the first time in American naval history the U. S. S. "Maryland," America's greatest battleship, mounting eight 16-inch rifles i. her moia battery, is to discharge her missiles at a target, 120 feet long and 40 feet high, stationed over the horizon 35,000 yards, or114 miles away, to test the accuracy and dispersion of heavy naval rifles. As the shells at that range will come down almost versically and as the target will have no breadth, the possibility of hitting it is minute. The "Muyland" is the only American ship having a gun elevation of 30. degrees, though the newly constructed West Virginia and the "Colorado"-will have similar elevation. The maxiinum range of these ships is 30,000 yards or about 7:500 miles further than any other American ships, though English vessels have equal ringer. The firing, which will be held on June 7.. off Piney Point, Chesapeake Bay, will have for its object an effort to get Congress to overrule President ́Harding and order ų é'cievaiva of guns on other American vessel.
