If this experience 'la repeated with other ship of th Dreadnought type, they will be able to use only part of their primary batter lea, and ss they have no secondary batteries they will be In tha sam position ss th battleships of the "old type, which were armed -with only four- 11-Inch gun. "Value of Secondary Batteries. The, Russo-Japanese war showed that aeoondary batteries play a tremendous role. Th mnlyV damage that Rojesrvenaky nH ftloted on Togo at the battle of Tsushima I cam front tbe-Bueaian 1-Inch and 4-inch guns Ths Japanese did havoc with their secondary batteries. It was sheila from their smaller guns which set the Russian asian, snips oa flr.

Th Russian Captain Bern-enoff, who waa on the flagship, declared that It waa "the uninterrupted thick rain of alx and eight-melt ahells which effeoted our ruin, and he adds that tb occasional shots from ths big Japanese guna were comparatively natxnlcaa. A no Dreadnougnt la armed with a aeo ondary battery, it la plain that if she ia compel lad to ua "only a few of her -big gun an win Oi unable to gtand up against a snip of th older type. Thi reasoning hss evidently been' adopt ed by. Japan. Her two new supposed Dreadnoughts, th Akl and Satsuma, ar in reality the antithesis ef th English Dreadnought type.

They carry four 11-Inch guns mounted tn pairs In bow and stern barbettes, snd II 10-tnch guns mounted In pairs In broadside barbettes. Ths broadside barbette conatltute.tfi secondary battery. These guns weigh 81 tons, ss opposed to th to tons of th Inch guns, snd their sheila weigh only 49 pounds, ss opposed to tSO. Th weight of their powder charge and their mussle velocity are only half ef tho of th gun In the 11-Inch The rest Dread-noughts have big guna all of the same caliber, which could be brought Into action at the aame moment, whereas tha Japaeeae secondary battery could be used snly at a much closer range than the four big guna. Japan Has No Dreadnanghta.

Tha two ttOOO-ton battleships which Japan Is building at home, and th third which la under construction on ths Clyde, ara-alsa not nought S. Kara, will have a secondary battery ef 10 s-lnch guns mounted In pairs. It Is declared, however, thst ths main armament will consist nt no lees than 11 U-tnch guns. If that Is so they would suffer from "storms" as badly as the "British Dreadnoughts, but they would havs a secondary battery to fall back upon. It ia a curious fact that ths Dreadnought's gunners never suffered from th discharge of ths gun In their own bar bettea.

Th shock from they suffered waa caused by heavy almultaneous Bring of guns in other positions. Apart from ths shock problem, Japan's Insistence on a secondary battery la reus-Ing much comment But taken together with th atorlea of the effect of firing on the Dreadnought' crew, It ha th effect of raising th very momentous question!
